Strong and the Weak
This Swiss Doctor has written a very important book for all of us who want to better understand and appreciate others. Paul Tournier contrasts the terms "weak" and "strong" as they define the way we percieve ourselves and others. He elevates persons who a utilitarian society might judge inferior and defines for us the sometimes misleading projections of a "strong" person. Very balanced and ...

Excellent ecclesiology for laypersons
The general editor of "The Layman's Theological Library" authors this volume in that series. Robert McAfee Brown (1920-2001) was professor of theology and ethics at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA.

A convincing argument for the use of modern-day parables
The Gospel According to Peanuts is a truly fascinating little book filled with insight, wisdom, and the type of joy that Christians should naturally espouse. Robert L. Short certainly does not argue that every single Peanuts cartoon carries a theological message, but he offers up an amazing selection of comic strips that do in fact encapsulate a number of important Christian beliefs. He begins ...

Jesus Against the Rapture: Seven Unexpected Prophecies

Robert Jewett

Westminster John Knox Pr, 1979

What Jesus "really said" about the End Times.
It has been a good while since I have read this book. It is both scholarly (written by a non-fundamentalist New Testament scholar) and entertaining. Jewett shows how the Jesus of the Gospels is not a world-obliterating Apocalyptic figure, but a world restoring Messiah. This is a good place to start if you want to read an author who is "reality oriented" on this topic.

Westminster John Knox Pr, 1977

Developmental psychology explains the range of Christian practice
This is a fascinating book and a pretty short read. The author combines his psychology expertise with his ministry background to explain many of the conflicts which occur within the church and with those outside Christianity. Although the subject is subtle and intellectual, the author lays the book out so systematically it is pretty easy to follow. A key premise of the book is that a ...
