Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community
| | After his martyrdom at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer continued his witness in the hearts of Christians around the world. His <i>Letters and Papers from Prison</i> became a prized testimony to Christian faith and courage, read by thousands. Now in <i>Life Together</i> we have Pastor Bonhoeffer's experience of Christian community. This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of Paul's letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. <i>Life Together</i> is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.</p> | |

The God We Never Knew: Beyond Dogmatic Religion To A More Authenthic Contemporary Faith
| | Answering the many "spiritual" questions left unaddressed by such popular historical bestsellers as<I> A History of God </I>and<I> God: A Biography,</I> renowned author Marcus Borg reveals how to embrace an authentic contemporary faith that reconciles God with science, critical thinking and religious pluralism. <P>How to have faith--how to even think about God--without having to stifle modern rationality is one of the most vital challenges facing contemporary religion.In providing a much-needed solution to the problem of how to have a fully authentic yet fully contemporary understanding of God, Borg--author of the bestselling <I> Meeting Jesus Again for the first Time</I>--traces his personal journey. He leads readers from the all-powerful and authoritarian God of his (and their) childhood and traditional faith to an equally powerful but dynamic image of God that is relevant to contemporary seekers and more biblical and spiritually authentic. Borg shows how the modern crisis of faith is itself rooted in delusion--misinterpretation of biblical texts and of God's true nature--and challenges readers to a new way of thinking about God. He opens a practical discussion about how to base a relationship with the divine both immanent and transcendant, here and now, always and everywhere. <P>Arguing that the authentic Judeo-Christian tradition is that God's being includes the whole world, Borg persuasively shows how this understanding accounts for the whole variety of human religious experience. Ultimately, he introduces readers to a way of thinking about God who is "right here" all around them, rather than distant and remote. This understanding is more intellectually and spiritually satisfying and allows readers to reclaim a stronger sense of God's presence. | |
