The Beauty of Intolerance

The Beauty of Intolerance PDF Author: Josh McDowell
Publisher: Monarch Books
ISBN: 085721764X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289

Book Description
Today's message of cultural acceptance is dangerously distorted and deceptive. In a world that shouts: 'If you truly care about other people, you must agree that their beliefs, values, lifestyle, and truth claims are equal and as valid as yours!' it's no wonder our youth are confused. The Beauty of Intolerance-brand-new from Josh McDowell with son Sean McDowell-cuts through the confusion and points readers back to the place where the only truth resides...Jesus Christ. Tied directly to the Heroic Truth initiative launched by the Josh McDowell Ministry, the McDowells will share how a biblical view of truth can counter cultural tolerance and encourage a love and acceptance of others apart from their actions with a heart of Christlike compassion.

God Is Not Great

God Is Not Great PDF Author: Christopher Hitchens
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 1551991764
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 322

Book Description
Christopher Hitchens, described in the London Observer as “one of the most prolific, as well as brilliant, journalists of our time” takes on his biggest subject yet–the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell’s Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris’s recent bestseller, The End Of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope’s awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.

Languages : en
Pages : 142

Book Description
For some, it's uniquely and divinely inspired, and thus the only authoritative source of truth. For others, it's a quaint relic from a bygone era that offers personal comfort to some but little more to anyone else. For still others, the Bible is a tool of sexist oppression, or a reactionary account of a violent God, or an arrogant detractor of other holy books, or even an indecipherable mess. But the Bible has withstood such criticism over the centuries, and as Amy Orr-Ewing shows, it bears surprising relevance to this generation. Facing contemporary critics square-on, with refreshing honesty and wit, Is the Bible Intolerant? will help you understand the Bible and the world it inhabits today. Bring your questions about the Bible, read with an open mind, and discover for yourself just how relevant--how good--the Good Book can be.

Intolerance and the Gospel

Intolerance and the Gospel PDF Author: Gerd Lüdemann
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 296

Book Description
"In this analysis of key New Testament texts, historian of early Christianity Gerd Ludemann discusses the inherently intolerant attitude characteristic of monotheistic belief systems generally and Christianity in particular." "In addition to his discussion of these sinister undercurrents within the Christian community, Ludemann goes on to present textual analysis in five chapters of some of the letters in the New Testament, including 2 Thessalonians, 2 John, 3 John, 1 Timothy, Titus, Jude, and 2 Peter. In each case he translates the letter, presents contextual commentary and demonstrates how the text reflects Christian intolerance of heretics and nonbelievers." "Ludemann suggests that attempts to harmonize Christianity with the democratic ideal of tolerance cannot really work because there is a logical contradiction between monotheism and Christology, on the one hand, and the core values of a pluralistic society, on the other." --Book Jacket.
