Pack containing 3 books from the My Theology series:
Return from a Distant Country< - Alister McGrath
I never expected to be a Christian theologian, mainly because I never expected to be a Christian writes Alister McGrath. I assumed that scientific atheism would be my permanent intellectual homeland; in fact, it turned out to be a temporary place of exile, from which I would later return, wiser and somewhat chastened.
In this fascinating book, McGrath describes his journey into faith and his vision of Christian theology, focussing on the distinct role of historical theology; the importance of engaging the relation of science and faith; the need for theologians to engage in major public debates; and the significance of theological education.
Personal Idealism - Keith Ward
From my earliest years I have been interested in the big questions about human life. Does life have any meaning? Is there some way in which humans ought to live? Is consciousness really just a complex arrangement of material particles in the brain? Is freedom of choice an illusion? Is human life all just some sort of cosmic accident?
This book provides a definitive outline of the theological thought of Keith Ward, one of the pre-eminent philosophers of our time, based partly on his philosophy of Personal Idealism, and partly on his own experiences, having moved from being an atheist to a Christian.
Audacity of Peace - Scot McKnight
Peace is worth fighting for writes Scot McKnight. I don’t witness to peace to win the world but to offer a Christian alternative to the 155 million deaths in twentieth-century wars. This small book records some of my journey.
Growing up in the Viet Nam era, living through periods of American conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, and engaging with the ethics of war, gun control, the death penalty, abortion, and the inhumane treatment of prisoners, McKnight has developed a peace ethic that embodies the self-denial ethic of Jesus and demonstrates that warring and the Christian faith are incompatible.
The Audacity of Peace describes his journey, with reference to key thinkers who have influenced him along the way.
