The book of Isaiah places a distinctive emphasis on the miraculous. It speaks about the miraculous more than any other book of Scripture. Because miracle runs through the whole of the prophecy, careful attention to it, as John Goldingay gives it here, not only unfolds the message of Isaiah, but allows the theme to become a detailed commentary on the God of miracles. Miracle is a tricky word, so Goldingay defines what is meant by the miraculous in...

El título de este libro es una de las afamadas e incómodas respuestas, mediante las cuales, según coinciden los cuatro evangelistas, el Apóstol San Pedro negó a Nuestro Señor, en el ocaso del día que lo apresaron. Está aplicado a Jorge Mario Bergoglio, devenido en Francisco cuando se iniciaba el año 2013. Esta es la situación en la que aquí y ahora tenemos la impresión de estar inmersos. Ya no parece bastar el Iscariotismo para inteligir...

Selected Literary Essays includes over twenty of C. S. Lewis's most important literary essays, written between 1932 and 1962. The topics discussed in this volume range from Chaucer to Kipling, from "The literary impact of the authorized version" to "Psycho-analysis and literary criticism," to Shakespeare and Bunyan, and Sir Walter Scott and William Morris. Common to each essay, however, are the lively wit, the distinctive forthrightness, and the discreet...

The Allegory of Love is a study in medieval tradition-the rise of both the sentiment called "Courtly Love" and of the allegorical method-from eleventh-century Languedoc through sixteenth-century England. C. S. Lewis devotes considerable attention to The Romance of the Rose and The Faerie Queene, and to such poets as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, and Thomas Usk.

Why do we read literature and how do we judge it? C. S. Lewis's classic An Experiment in Criticism springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite. He argues that "good reading," like moral action or religious experience, involves surrender to the work in hand and a process of entering fully into the opinions of others: "in reading great literature I become...

This book deals with a much-neglected portion of God's Word which looks at the vitally important themes of headship and the glory of God. The author has not avoided issues and has included thorough research both from Church history and the original language of the New Testament. The section dealing with the objections to the head covering reveals the desperate attempts that have been made in recent times to avoid the clear implications of the 1 Corinthians...

Our culture has lost its mind. Now, we are waging a bigger fight-a war for our soul. Is it possible our world has gone mad? We are under siege and the war is not from without; it is from within. The collapse of the Roman Empire occurred in a single generation and was not so much the result of invasions by their enemies but the result of moral decay and internal corruption. Similar patterns are emerging in America. We neglected or abandoned our traditional...

Three questions are etched into everyone's subconscious: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Josh McDowell and Thomas Williams team up to show why nothing short of God answers these questions. But the problem is that in today's secularized culture, God has largely been banished. How to Know God Exists explores in depth solid reasons for believing in God and restoring him to his rightful place in our lives. Josh McDowell is widely known for...

The Gospel of Christ is a message which claims to save from damnation those who believe it. The Christian message purports to reveal the Savior, Jesus Christ, what He did and why, how salvation is gained, and where to find reliable information about it. The Gospel, however, is widely doubted, disputed, and denied. Have you ever wondered: Does Jesus have to be who Christians claim he is? What did his death accomplish? Would God send me to hell? Can...

Origins turns much of what Christians learned in Sunday School on its head in a revealing comparison of the Genesis narrative to the competing pagan narrative of the day. Relatively few Bible readers are familiar with the world of the ancient Near East, centered in Mesopotamia and its most prominent city, Babylon. The culture, literature, religions, geography, etc. of the early biblical period dramatically influenced what was written and why and without...
