My Spirit Rejoices: The Diary of a Christian Soul in an Age of Unbelief

Elisabeth Leseur
Sophia Institute Press
, 1996
An inspiring biography of a woman committed to The Lord.
This book renews my belief that everyday actions of one person can tremendously influence the lives of other people. It also shows how an intelligent, well-read woman came to a solid commitment in the Savior. My desire was renewed to further commit myself to improvement.

Doubt your doubts, but in the meantime read this!
Ruth Tucker was teaching an adult Sunday School class on this topic of doubt shortly after writing this book. She was well received, but after the class one older man came to her and asked, "I really appreciated all that you taught. But one thing you never addressed: how did you finally overcome all your doubts?" Tuckers was floored. He missed her whole point: she has never completely ...

Prometheus Books
, 1985
Well rounded, provides insight into world-wide disbelief
Stein is the editor of numerous anthologies and encyclopedias of skeptical nature, but this is by far his best. There are so many topics available to the reader, making for a smorgasbord of Atheist material. The book includes sections on Atheism in the history of many of the world's great nations, such as Russia, China, India, et cetera. There is copious amounts of information on those who chose ...

Educating for Intelligent Belief or Unbelief (The John Dewey Lecture)
1 review
Nel Noddings
Teachers College Press
, 1993
Covers most facets of educating about religion in schools.
Noddings discusses ways that teachers can help students learn why what they believe is important, and often can do this effectively while teaching math or science or other subjects. She sees religion as dealing with critical issues of life and reality. Much of the book then discusses a broad range of what people believe. And she closes by discussing how her suggested approach can actually work ...

"Unbeliefable" Book!!!
Wow! Piper hits a home run on almost every page of this "getting to the root of the problem" book! You'll be challenged to see what is the real issue when it comes to lust, anxiety, fear, etc. Very powerful and life changing material. The key is to lean heavily on God and His Word.

Effective conversations with unbelief
The book has 3 main virtues: it's short, smart, and gentle. The result shows how Christian thought can surround and correct external challengers ... and also internal deviations. The thirteen topics are: immorality, antinomianism (the belief faith is sufficent for salvation, freeing Chrisitans from moral law), feminism, agnosticism, empty scholarship, atheism, election, marriage, hypocrisy ...
Literary Converts: Spiritual Inspiration in an Age of Unbelief

Fascinating portrait of the British literary giants
I picked it up over the weekend and was fascinated by Pierce's portrait of the 20th century Christian literary world. I could be very wrong, but I have trouble imagining any of the contemporary Christian writers interacting much with each other. But early in the 20th century, it seems things were much different. I never guessed that writers as diverse as Lewis, Sayers, Tolkien, Williams, Waugh, ...

Fleming Rutledge
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
, 2004
Words for People Wanting to Believe
In her second book of sermons, Fleming Rutledge weaves contemporary concerns into the Biblical story. She manages to expound scripture while speaking to moral and social concerns. In the process, the book affirms faith while owning the difficulty of believing for many of us. She mixes a clear affirmation of traditional doctrines with a disarming humility that understands the writer's own ...

James C. Turner
The Johns Hopkins University Press
, 1986
A must-read for understanding the state of (un)belief
This book is excellently written and very illuminating on the subject of how it came to be possible that a person could say 'I don't believe in God.' Turner takes the reader through history from the Rennaissance to the mid-19th century to show the progress of unbelief. Interestingly, his thesis, which is very well argued, is that it was the Church herself who let in the demons of unbelief, ...

I have been needing to read something that offers some type of comfort for my situation. This did offer that. It is a very truthful book and very personal. It was nice to know that I am not alone.

excellent unpacking of book Future Grace
I highly recommend this video series of John Piper's 10 30-minute talks, where he "unpacks" his book, Future Grace. When I bought it, I assumed that the talks would correspond with the 10 areas of application to specific sins mentioned in Future Grace and in Battling Unbelief (the book). These sessions do not line up that way, but he establishes a Biblical background first for "faith in future ...
Belief and Unbelief in Medieval Europe
John H. Arnold
A Hodder Arnold Publication
, 2005
For most people in the middle ages--for thousands upon thousands who lived within Christendom in the period considered by this book, 1100-1500--we have no record of what they believed or did not believe. John Arnold sifts through the traces left behind by our ancestors across Europe and assembles a more complete picture than ever before. Religion in mediveal Europe was hugely important, and impinged upon the most mundane aspects of everyday ...

Prometheus Books

Great reference
Just received this book and have skimmed over a lot of the history and the biographies of the people cited in the book. It is well put to gather and well thought out, I would recommend this to all atheists, agnostics and free thinkers who would like to catch up on famous and not so famous people who had the brains to think for themselves.

The Problem of Unbelief in the 16th Century: The Religion of Rabelais
1 review
Lucien Febvre
Harvard University Press
, 1985
All-Time Classic
It's a realy pity this is out of print, because it's fabulous. The Annales school is known for social history, but Febvre was at least as competent as an intellectual/cultural historian, and this is a masterpiece. The thesis is that Rabelais was an Erasmian humanist, and that this was on the one hand a view of Christianity that had wide tolerance for things we wouldn't expect, but on the other he ...
