Discovering God
By: Stark, Rodney
Published by: Harper Collins

Charting the rise of religion from Stone Age spirituality to the recent spread of Christianity in Africa, Asia, and South America, Discovering God asks the age–old question, if god was present from the beginning of time, why did god wait to reveal god's self to humans until (according to their respective traditions) Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, the Buddha, etc., came along? Stark asks, why a variety of world religions all sprang up at about the same time (referred to as the Axial Age). And Stark asks, why do many religions seem to share similar features? As the title suggests, Stark's thesis will be that god was here all along, and humans "discovered" (not invented) god in keeping with their own intellectual and spiritual evolution. more...

God Against The Gods
By: Kirsch, Jonathan
Published by: The Penguin Group (USA)

As conflicts over religious extremism dominate our front pages, the bestselling author of The Harlot by the Side of the Road presents a work of history that could not be more timely: a surprising look back at the origins of religious intolerance during the tumultuous fourth century. This is the epic story of how classical paganism, with its tolerance for many deities and beliefs, lost a centuries-long struggle with monotheism and its chauvinistic insistence on belief in one God. With his trademark blend of wit and scholarship, Kirsch traces the war of God against the gods from its roots in Ancient Egypt to its climax during the last stand of paganism the tumultuous fourth century, when two passionate, charismatic, and revolutionary Roman emperors, the Christian Constantine and the pagan Julian, changed the course of history and shaped the world we live in today. more...

The Roots of Endurance
By: Piper, John
Published by: Good News Publishers/Crossway Books

John Newton. Charles Simeon. William Wilberforce. They suffered life-long opposition and endured it for the causes of gospel truth, missionary zeal and political justice. They found in solid doctrine and humble joy the tough roots for habitual tenderness in response to their adversaries--without doctrinal or moral flinching. They are trophies of remarkable grace. In Volume 3 of The Swans Are Not Silent series, best-selling author John Piper looks at the lives of these three great men and focuses on how they not only endured great opposition, but did so with joy and without bitterness. The lessons he draws show how to set a pace and finish the eternal race before us, encouraging every heart that it is possible to jump the hurdles in the way. These men were sinners just like us, but their example of refusing to yield to temptation or bitterness, and their downward growth in humility and upward growth in adoration of Christ, should serve as our inspiration. more...
