2000 Gold Medallion Award winner! Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that not only answers life's basic questions-Where did we come from, and who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?-but also shows us how we should live as a result of those answers. How Now Shall We Live? gives Christians the understanding, the confidence, and the tools to confront the world's...

The starting point of this attempt to "recast the Christian truth" is the experience of the two world wars and of the veritable end of the "old world" with all its implications for the "new world."

In this passionate and heartfelt book Richard Holloway interrogates the traditional ways of understanding the Bible. He liberates the power of the great Christian stories from their sometimes antiquated settings, and reveals the essence of Jesus's teachings. In doing so, he shows that the challenge of Jesus remains revolutionary, humane and of immense contemporary importance. Doubts and Loves is a radical but accessible work of scholarship - a blueprint...

In this prophetic call to faithful Christian living, Marva Dawn identifies the epidemic socio-cultural attitudes that destroy hope in our modern lives. Because affluent persons don't know what to value, we remain dissatisfied with what we have and are compelled to want more at the expense of the world's less forunate. Dawn demonstrates, however, how Christians can organize their lives to live in ways that allow them to love God and neighbor and, in...

In this humorous and perceptive exchange between two devils, C.S. Lewis delves into moral questions about good vs. evil, temptation, repentance, and grace.
