    Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian, as well as a participant in the German Resistance movement against Nazism. He was hung for his part in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. This book contains "reconstructed lectures given by Bonhoeffer in 1933 on the theme of christology... this is not Bonhoeffer's text---it has been reconstructed from notes by his students."

    He states that "christology is the centre of all disciplines. It is the unknown and hidden centre of the university of learning." (Pg. 28) Christ is "the Counter-Logos. Classification is no longer a possibility, because the existence of this Logos spells the end of the human logos. Only the question, 'Who are you?' will do." (Pg. 30) He adds, "In theological terms: it is only from God that man knows who he is." (Pg. 31)

    He observes, "the work of Jesus drives me to despair about myself, because I cannot follow his example. But if Jesus is the Christ, the Word of God, then ... I am met in his work as one who cannot possibly do the work he does. It is through his work that I recognize the gracious God." (Pg. 38) He adds, "Christ stands for (our) new humanity before God... There where mankind should stand, he stands as a representative... He is the Church." (Pg. 48)

    He suggests that "the content of the addressing Word... is not the uncovering of hidden truths, nor the imparting of a new concept of God, nor a new moral teaching. It is far more concerned with the personal appeal of God to men to assume responsibility." (Pg. 51) He insists, "There is no way from history to the absolute. There is no absolute ground for faith derived from history... There is only the witness of the risen one to himself, by which the Church bears witness of the risen one to himself, by which the Church bears witness to him 'in history.'" (Pg. 72) More provocatively, he says, "Simply stating the sinlessness of Jesus fails if it is based upon the observable acts of Jesus. His acts ... are not sinless, but ambiguous. One can and should see both good and failure in them." (Pg. 109)

    Bonhoeffer is of continuing interest to theologians and students from a wide variety of backgrounds; this volume should be similarly popular.

    "What nonbelievers reject is often not God, but the caricature of God that theologians have synthesized over the centuries. A faith based on that caricature is poorly suited to the hard facts of the real world. These authors masterfully retrace how that caricature was drawn, show where its distortions lie and offer a sound alternative to it."

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the most influential Christian martyrs in history, bequeathed to humanity a legacy of theological creativity and spirituality that continues to intrigue people from a variety of backgrounds. Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, a sixteen volume series, offers a fresh, critical translation of Bonhoeffer's writings, with introductions, annotations, and interpretations.

    The stimulus for the writing of Life Together was the closing of the preacher's seminary at Finkenwalde. The treatise contains Bonhoeffer's thoughts about the nature of Christian community based on the common life that he and his seminarians experienced at the seminary and in the "Brother's House" there. Bonhoeffer completed the writing of Life Together in 1938.

    Was God telling the truth when He said, you will seek me and find Me when you seek me with all your heart?

    In his first bestseller The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel examined the claims of Christ, reaching the hard-won verdict that Jesus is God and His unique son. In this book,  The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief  the eight heart barriers to faith.

                The Sickness unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition of Edification & Awakening by Anti-Climax
                Søren Kierkegaard

                The Sickness unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition of Edification & Awakening by Anti-Climax

                $70.00

                A companion piece to The Concept of Anxiety, this work continues Søren Kierkegaard's radical and comprehensive analysis of human nature in a spectrum of possibilities of existence. Present here is a remarkable combination of the insight of the poet and the contemplation of the philosopher.

                In The Sickness unto Death, Kierkegaard moves beyond anxiety on the mental-emotional level to the spiritual level, where--in contact with the eternal--anxiety becomes despair. Both anxiety and despair reflect the misrelation that arises in the self when the elements of the synthesis--the infinite and the finite--do not come into proper relation to each other. Despair is a deeper expression for anxiety and is a mark of the eternal, which is intended to penetrate temporal existence.

                  $150.00

                  Where did the Bible come from? Author Craig D. Allert encourages more evangelicals to ask that question. In A High View of Scripture? Allert introduces his audience to the diverse history of the canon's development and what impact it has today on how we view Scripture. Allert affirms divine inspiration of the Bible and, in fact, urges the very people who proclaim the ultimate authority of the Bible to be informed about how it came to be. This book, the latest in the Evangelical Ressourcement series, will be valuable as a college or seminary text and for readers interested in issues of canon development and biblical authority.
