    The New York Times Book Review states, “It would be impossible to overrate Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s importance as a disciple, a great Christian and moral leader.” Christ the Center cogently presents the basis of Bonhoeffer’s thinking about Jesus Christ and offers the key to his entire theology. A classic work of Christological thought, both edifying and uplifting, Christ the Center is an enlightening guide to faith and action in uncertain times.

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian, as well as a participant in the German Resistance movement against Nazism. He was hung for his part in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. This book contains "reconstructed lectures given by Bonhoeffer in 1933 on the theme of christology... this is not Bonhoeffer's text---it has been reconstructed from notes by his students."

    He states that "christology is the centre of all disciplines. It is the unknown and hidden centre of the university of learning." (Pg. 28) Christ is "the Counter-Logos. Classification is no longer a possibility, because the existence of this Logos spells the end of the human logos. Only the question, 'Who are you?' will do." (Pg. 30) He adds, "In theological terms: it is only from God that man knows who he is." (Pg. 31)

    He observes, "the work of Jesus drives me to despair about myself, because I cannot follow his example. But if Jesus is the Christ, the Word of God, then ... I am met in his work as one who cannot possibly do the work he does. It is through his work that I recognize the gracious God." (Pg. 38) He adds, "Christ stands for (our) new humanity before God... There where mankind should stand, he stands as a representative... He is the Church." (Pg. 48)

    He suggests that "the content of the addressing Word... is not the uncovering of hidden truths, nor the imparting of a new concept of God, nor a new moral teaching. It is far more concerned with the personal appeal of God to men to assume responsibility." (Pg. 51) He insists, "There is no way from history to the absolute. There is no absolute ground for faith derived from history... There is only the witness of the risen one to himself, by which the Church bears witness of the risen one to himself, by which the Church bears witness to him 'in history.'" (Pg. 72) More provocatively, he says, "Simply stating the sinlessness of Jesus fails if it is based upon the observable acts of Jesus. His acts ... are not sinless, but ambiguous. One can and should see both good and failure in them." (Pg. 109)

    Bonhoeffer is of continuing interest to theologians and students from a wide variety of backgrounds; this volume should be similarly popular.

    The New York Times Book Review states, “It would be impossible to overrate Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s importance as a disciple, a great Christian and moral leader.” Christ the Center cogently presents the basis of Bonhoeffer’s thinking about Jesus Christ and offers the key to his entire theology. A classic work of Christological thought, both edifying and uplifting, Christ the Center is an enlightening guide to faith and action in uncertain times.

    During the last century the Christian faith has made massive inroads into areas dominated by traditional and fold religions. In many cases, however, varieties of syncretism have developed, both in the countries of origin and in the West.

    Unlike women, to whom mothering ability is a natural gift, men must learn how to be fathers.  The father's involvement has a profound impact, but how sons affect their fathers is too-often overlooked.  In My Father Before Me psychoanalyst Michael J. Diamond firmly establishes fatherhood as an essential event for both the son's and the father's development.

    Girls are more than just sugar and spice. We’ve all figured that out. What we haven’t figured out completely is how they’re wired, why they do the things they do, how the world around them affects their choices and opinions, and what that means for youth ministry—until now.

              "Most commentaries are either too technical or too light to be of much help, leaving us to wander through the text on our own. Accurately balanced between good scholarship and solid preaching perspectives, these commentaries provide an unusually deep and relevant approach to the text. If you take preaching and teaching the Word seriously you must take this series seriously as well. "

                  The Sickness unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition of Edification & Awakening by Anti-Climax
                  Søren Kierkegaard

                  The Sickness unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition of Edification & Awakening by Anti-Climax

                  E£160.00

                  A companion piece to The Concept of Anxiety, this work continues Søren Kierkegaard's radical and comprehensive analysis of human nature in a spectrum of possibilities of existence. Present here is a remarkable combination of the insight of the poet and the contemplation of the philosopher.

                  In The Sickness unto Death, Kierkegaard moves beyond anxiety on the mental-emotional level to the spiritual level, where--in contact with the eternal--anxiety becomes despair. Both anxiety and despair reflect the misrelation that arises in the self when the elements of the synthesis--the infinite and the finite--do not come into proper relation to each other. Despair is a deeper expression for anxiety and is a mark of the eternal, which is intended to penetrate temporal existence.

                    E£130.00

                    This was a very pastoral, insightful book on the emotional/psychological factors that can leave a person wrestling with deep doubt regarding the truth of Christianity - either those who do not call themselves a Christian but would like to believe, or those who do consider themselves a Christian but experience deep distrust and disbelief at times.
