There aren't many individuals in modern history more studied - or at least referenced - that Adolf Hitler. As we know from Godwin's Law, "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1." One of the areas which has received less attention in all of this discussion is the … Continue reading Book Review: Hitler’s Theology – By Rainer Bucher
Michael Wilcock's book The Message of Revelation is - as might be expected - a commentary on the book of Revelation. However, as the editors say in the preface 'commentary' is perhaps not the best word to describe the book. While it does offer a section-by-section analysis of the given book of the bible, the … Continue reading Book Review: The Message of Revelation – By Michael Wilcock
Galatians For You, as might be suspected, is a commentary on the book of Galatians. Timothy Keller's aim with the book is to offer a bible centered, Christ glorifying, relevantly applicable, and easily readable look at the book in question. The key point of Galatians for Keller is the fact that "the gospel is the … Continue reading Book Review: Galatians For You – Tim Keller
Much has been written trying to explain the psychology of theism. The foundational text in that field is probably Sigmund Freud's The Future of An Illusion, where Freud theorizes that religion came about as a sort of coping mechanism; it was comforting for early man to personalize the forces of nature and to turn their chiefs … Continue reading Book Review: The Psychology of Atheism – By R.C. Sproul
Over the past few months I've been attempting to read more fiction: Asimov's The End of Eternity, Zelazny's Lord of Light, Robert Jordan's The Great Hunt and R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing; all have been fairly enjoyable. Most recently I picked up a copy of Chistopher Paolini's Eragon from the bookstore. This was a change of … Continue reading Book Review: Eragon – By Christopher Paolini
The topic of homosexuality has been discussed from a variety of angles from within the Christian context. Some scholars seek to address the ancient near-Eastern and Greco-Roman contexts in which the Scriptures were written to best understand their injunctions, others attempt to deal directly with and exegete the Biblical texts. The goal of Stanton Jones … Continue reading Book Review: Homosexuality – By Stanton L. Jones & Mark A. Yarhouse
There are many individuals who act as poster-boys for certain religious and anti-religious movements. For the New Atheists, one of those individuals is Richard Dawkins; for evangelical Christianity, one of them is Alister McGrath. Both are doctoral graduates from Oxford with degrees in the sciences. The Dawkins Delusion, as one could easily guess from the … Continue reading Book Review: The Dawkins Delusion – By Alister McGrath & Joanna Collicutt McGrath
While I enjoy reading fiction, it's a rarity for me to find fiction that truly captivates me, especially within the fantasy genre. With my last fantasy book being Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn, I was sitting pretty high in terms of what fantasy is capable of; luckily, The Name of the Wind didn't disappoint, and … Continue reading Book Review: The Name of the Wind – By Patrick Rothfuss
During the past few centuries within discussions of philosophy there has been what might be called a revitalization of skepticism. This skepticism, what many deem free inquiry or free thought, has come to question everything, such that during the early Twentieth Century G.K Chesterton wrote that: “It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of … Continue reading Book Review: The Abolition of Man – By C.S. Lewis
The Angelic Doctor, as one might well guess from the title, is Jacques Maritain's biography of Thomas Aquinas, as well as a treatise on the philosophy of monolithic thinker. The latter portions of the book are especially devoted to discussing the philosophy of Aquinas as it affects us today and laying out what Maritain believes … Continue reading Book Review: The Angelic Doctor – By Jacques Maritain
