1st Christian : Universal Truth In The Teachings Of Jesus
$19.99
In his new book Paul Zahl seeks a broader understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus. What was it within his message that burst his first-century Jewish context? What was creative, fresh, and universal about his message? What did Jesus maintain, within his own setting and period, that is still true and applicable today? In pursuit of these questions Zahl swims against the current of modern scholarship, arguing that Jesus was more “Christian” than “Jewish.” Jesus’ teaching concerning the kingdom of God is replete with Christian perspectives on personhood and salvation, and his insights into original sin and grace are closer to core Christianity than much recent literature acknowledges. A pleasure to read, The First Christian makes a significant new contribution to today’s quest for the historical Jesus.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
