The Four Loves
0$8,45Millions of words have been written on the true nature of love, but few are as succinct as in this book. This seminal inspirational work divides ‘love’ into four categories: Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. The first three come naturally, but without Charity, C.S. Lewis shows how all love can become distorted, bitter and even dangerous. The Four Loves summarizes four kinds of human love–affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God. Masterful without being magisterial, this book’s wise, gentle, candid reflections on the virtues and dangers of love draw on sources from Jane Austen to St. Augustine. The chapter on charity (love of God) may be the best thing Lewis ever wrote about Christianity. Consider his reflection on Augustine’s teaching that one must love only God, because only God is eternal, and all earthly love will someday pass away: Who could conceivably begin to love God on such a prudential ground–because the security (so to speak) is better? Who could even include it among the grounds for loving? Would you choose a wife or a Friend–if it comes to that, would you choose a dog–in this spirit? One must be outside the world of love, of all loves, before one thus calculates. When he begins to describe the nature of faith, Lewis writes: “Take it as one man’s reverie, almost one man’s myth. If anything in it is useful to you, use it; if anything is not, never give it a second thought.” (Amazon.com Review – Michael Joseph Gross )

The Three Philosophies of Life
0$10,14“I’ve been a philosopher for all my adult life and the three most profound books of philosophy that I have ever read are Ecclesiastes, Job, and Song of Songs.” These are the opening lines of Kreeft’s Three Philosophies of Life. Kreeft takes up the big questions of life, and marshals the answers with consummate grace and skill. He reflects that there are ultimately only three philosophies of life and each one is represented by one of these books of the Bible: Life is vanity: Ecclesiastes Life is suffering: Job Life is love: Song of Songs Finally, Kreeft sees in these books the epitome of theological virtues of faith, hope and love and “an essential summary of the spiritual history of the world”. Peter Kreeft is a professor of philosophy at Boston College. He is the author of many articles and books including Heaven: The Heart’s Deepest Longing, Fundamentals of the Faith, A Turn of the Clock, and Letters to Jesus.

The Reason for GodBelief in an Age of Skepticism
0$11,83Why does God allow suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive? How can one religion be “right” and the others “wrong”? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God? These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today. As the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons for faith. And in the New York Times bestselling The Reason for God, he addresses each doubt and explains each reason. Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.

The Question that Never Goes Away
0$8,45In his classic book Where Is God When It Hurts, Philip Yancey gave us permission to doubt, reasons not to abandon faith, and practical ways to reach out to hurting people.
And now, thirty years after writing his first book, Yancey revisits our cry of “Why, God” in three places stunned into silence by the calamities that have devastated them. At some point all of us will face the challenges to faith Yancey writes about and look for the comfort and hope he describes.
There are reasons to ask, once again, the question that never goes away: Where is God when we suffer? And Yancey, once again, leads us to find faith when it is most severely put to the test. -
Orthodoxy
0$10,14يشرحُ تشسترتون في هذا الكتاب سببَ اعتقادة أنَّ ’’الإيمان القويم‘‘ هو أفضلُ ما يفسِّر الوجودَ البشريّ، كما يُبيِّن الأسباب التي تجعلُه يرى الفلسفات والمعتقدات الأخرى غير مُقنعةٍ البتَّة. غير أنَّه في دفاع تشسترتون عن المسيحيَّة، يتناوَل أيضًا ما يكتنفُها من مفارَقات وغموضٍ ودهشة، مستخدمًا أمثلةً وتوضيحات ممَّا شهدَه في حياته.
ويصف تشسترتون حالنا بالقول إنَّه: ’’حسبَ أغلب الفلاسفة، إنَّ الله في خلقِه العالم استعبدَه، أمَّا في المسيحيَّة فإنَّ الله في خلقِه العالم أطلقَه حرًّا. لم يكتُبِ الله قصيدةً، بل بالأحرى مسرحيَّة- وهي مسرحيَّة خُطِّطت بكمال، لكنْ وجبَ تسليمها إلى البشر من الممثِّلين وإداريِّي المسرح، الذين منذ أن تسلَّموها حوَّلوها إلى حالٍ فوضويَّة مسعورة‘‘.
’’إنَّ من المناسب جدًّا أن نستمعَ إلى صوت تشسترتون بالعربيَّة في سياقنا الحاليّ، لا سيَّما وهو يُثبتُ بالبرهان المنطقيّ التجريبيّ، أنَّ الإيمانَ القويمَ الذي ألهمَ القدماء، لا يزالُ قادرًا على إلهامنا، وأنَّ حُلم المدينة الفاضلة النازلة من السماء، هو أكثر ما سيجعلُنا نبني في واقعنا الحاليِّ مُدنًا أفضل‘‘

Encounters with Jesus
0$10,14One of the biggest obstacles for people to accept or believe in Christianity is that they think they know all about it already. After all, hasn’t it been around for thousands of years? Doesn’t everybody know what Christians believe?
But if we look at Jesus’ encounters with various men and women during his life, we will find some of our assumptions challenged. These conversations were not about personal sins or specific religious views and practices, nor were they a set of talking points or a political platform. Instead, in these encounters we see him meeting people at the point of their big, unspoken questions: Who are we, and why are we here? Why be a good person; why love instead of hate? What’s wrong with the world—And what, if anything, can make it right?
The Gospels are full of encounters that made a profound impact on those who spoke with Jesus in this way. In this 10-part ebook series, available as a hardcover book in Fall 2013, Timothy Keller explores these encounters and how they can still address our questions and doubts today.

Man Myth Messiah
0$15,21The search for the historical Jesus continues to be headline news. Any speculative theory seems to get instant attention as the debate rages about His real identity and the claims made in His name. Did Jesus really exist? Is there real historical evidence that demonstrates that He lived and actually said and did the things the Gospels record? Is there any validity to the speculative claims that the Jesus story was a myth, borrowed from a variety of pagan cultures of the ancient world?
In this follow-up to the book God’s Not Dead (that inspired the movie), Man, Myth, Messiah looks at the evidence for the historical Jesus and exposes the notions of skeptics that Jesus was a contrived figure of ancient mythology. It also looks at the reliability of the Gospel records as well as the evidence for the resurrection that validates His identity as the promised Messiah. Man, Myth, Messiah will be released concurrent to the God’s Not Dead movie sequel, which will cover the same theme.

Making Sense of God
0$15,21إنَّنا نعيشُ في مجتمعاتٍ ازدادَ فيها التشكيك والاستقطابُ بينَ مَن يرى الحاجة إلى وجودِ الدِّين والإيمان من جهة، ومَن لا يرى حاجةً إلى وجود الدِّينِ بل إلى التركيز على المنطقِ والتجريب من جهةٍ أخرى. وهكذا برزَتْ في الآونةِ الأخيرة في مجتمعاتِنا أسئلةٌ مثل: ‘‘لماذا ينبغي أن يتَّكِلُ إنسانٌ على أمورٍ غَيبيَّة لا يمكنُ دَعمُها بالأدلَّة التجريبيَّة؟’’ و‘‘هل هناك دَورٌ فعليٌّ للدِّينِ يؤدِّيه في الحياةِ المعاصِرة؟’’
في هذا الكتاب، يستعرضُ تيموثي كَلِر مقارنةً بين سعي كلٍّ من المسيحيَّة والعَلمانيَّة اللادينيَّة إلى تقديم وجهة نظر بشأن العديد من المسائل المهمَّة في الحياة- مثل معنى الحياة، والرِّضى، والحرِّيَّة، والهُوِيَّة، والعدالة، والرَّجاء- كما يقدِّم دعوةً مفتوحةً إلى قُطبَي المعادَلة لبحثِها ومناقشتها، ويلقي أيضًا الضَّوء على أهمِّيَّة المسيحيَّة في عصرنا الحاليِّ، ويطرحُ حُجَّتَه بأنَّها الأكثر منطقيَّة على المستوى الوجدانيِّ والثقافيِّ، والأقدَرُ على تفسيرِ أمورِ الحياة مَدارَ البحثِ بأوضح صورة.v -

The Atonement
0$8,45الكفَّارةيتناول كتاب ‘‘الكفَّارة’’ (The Atonement) العقيدة الشائكة عن الكفَّارة بإيجاز وسلاسة، وبأسلوب يجمعُ ما بين عدد من المجالات المعرفيَّة، حيث يستعين بالدراسات الكتابيَّة وتاريخ الكنيسة والفلسفة التحليليَّة.
يتألَّف الكتاب من ثلاثة أجزاء: يتناول الأوَّل الأساسَ الكتابيَّ لعقيدة الكفَّارة، وهو جانب من العقيدة لا يَلقى اهتمامًا جادًّا من الفلاسفة المسيحيِّين المعاصرين الذين يكتبون في الموضوع. ويركِّزُ الجزء الثاني على بعض النظريَّات الرئيسيَّة للكفَّارة التي ظهرت قبل العصر الحديث، بُغيَة تقديم شرحٍ دقيقٍ لها، وهي غالبًا ما أُسيءَ فهمُها. ويدافع الجزءُ الثالثُ عن نظريَّةٍ للكفَّارة متعدِّدة الأوجه، تتَّخذُ من البدليَّة العقابيَّة مركزًا لها، وتستند إلى أفكار من فلسفة القانون (Philosophy of Law).
وباستخدام أفكارٍ راسخةٍ في الفكر القانونيِّ، غالبًا ما يجري تجاهُلُها في المعالَجات الفلسفيَّة للكفَّارة، يحاول الكاتب أن يقدِّمَ شرحًا متَّسقًا من الناحية الفلسفيَّة لكفَّارة المسيح يرتبط ارتباطًا وثيقًا بعقيدة التبرير في الكتاب المقدَّس.
