Francis Spufford's Unapologetic is a wonderfully pugnacious defense of Christianity. Refuting critics such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the "new atheist" crowd, Spufford, a former atheist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, argues that Christianity is recognizable, drawing on the deep and deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling, satisfying those who believe in it by offering a ruthlessly realistic account of the grown-up dignity of Christian experience.

In The Method of Christian Theology, Rhyne Putman guides listeners through the essential “first words” of systematic theology.

If God is the creator of all, might creation itself not provide us with ways of seeing God that enrich our understanding--that connect our desire for God with our life in creation? Natural theology has been a feature of Christian thinking for centuries, but it has also been misunderstood and...

In this engaging and accessible introduction, Keith Johnson takes a fresh look at theology. He presents the discipline of theology as one of the ways we participate in the life of the triune God. Without suggesting it should be removed from the academy, Johnson argues that theology has to be integrally connected to the traditions and practices of the church. If academic theology is to be genuinely theological, then it has to be carried out in obedience to Jesus Christ and in service to the church.

Gott hat für jede Frau, Ehefrau und Mutter einen exzellenten Plan, wie sie Ihn mit allen Bereichen ihres Leben verherrlichen und eine "Frau nach dem Herzen Gottes" werden kann. Elizabeth George vermittelt in liebevollem und verständnisvollen Stil ihre biblischen und praktischen Einsichten, wie eine Frau zur Ehre Gottes leben kann: in ihrer persönlichen Beziehung zum Herrn, im Alltag mit ihrem Ehemann und ihren Kindern, mit ihrer Aufgabe als Hausfrau und mit ihrem Dienst in der Gemeinde.

Kein anderes Buch hat die Weltgeschichte und die Kultur so geprägt wie die Bibel, die von sich behauptet, Gottes Wort und Wahrheit zu sein. Kann es sein, dass dieser enorme Einfluss der Bibel bloß auf menschlichem Irrtum beruht und das Buch der Bücher doch nichts weiter ist als eine Sammlung rein menschlicher Märchen und Mythen? Um das herauszufinden, muss die Bibel auf den Prüfstand gestellt und untersucht werden, ob sie ihrem absoluten Anspruch standhalten kann.

Have you ever wondered how the God of love and grace, introduced by Jesus—a Jewish rabbi in Israel two thousand years ago who proclaimed His mission not to judge the world but to save it—morphed into a Western fundamentalist god of fear, wrath, and violence? This transformation is rooted in a twisted theology marked by misinterpretations, flawed translations, and verses stripped from their original context. In this book, I aim to expose and refute the doctrine most central to the destructive ideology known as "Christian Fundamentalism."

Gli amici di Evolvenza si sono riuniti per molti anni in "agapi" in cui leggevano vari insegnamenti dei maestri immateriali e, insieme, cercavano di applicare questi insegnamenti alle loro vite. Era una ginnastica spirituale che a molti di noi ha fatto bene, perché ci ha permesso d'intuire la perfezione della Legge che, oltre a governare le nostre vite, governa il Tutto. Le ricerche di Evolvenza sono riportate, oltre che sui libri, giornalmente su YouTube. Attualmente chi scrive frequenta lo storico Cerchio Esseno, il cui strumento difende da quarantacinque anni il suo anonimato.

In this book, Kyle Worley (pastor, author, and host of the “Knowing Faith Podcast”) guides listeners along the story of Scripture to help them understand that this invitation into life with God in Christ is not only a key part of the Bible’s entire message, but also, the primary belief of Christian salvation.
