| This was a bit of a slog, since it is so focused on the economic situation of Britain in the 1800s. Chalmers was a polymath, and so it is fun to see a theologian and pastor tackling economic questions. I agree with his basic premise--no amount of gov ...more | |

Historical Theology: An Introduction to the History of Christian Thought:
"Intelligible for this historical theology ignoramus. I've been looking for thorough but introductory book on this topic, and this did not disappoint! There are a few historical inaccuracies here and there, but McGrath didn't butcher Constantinianism "

| A lot of good material in here. Lots to digest and learn from--don't expect to master all of this in 1 year. They provide a trajectory for a life-long journey into more effective teaching and learning. The main annoyance was the pervasive use of "she ...more | |

| An important Christian (though Catholic) counterpoint to Machiavelli's "real politik". Botero provides practical and theoretical advice to political rulers and leaders, with many examples drawn from history. His comments about the pesky Calvinist her ...more | |

| This is a wonderful, comprehensive, introduction to civics from a conservative Christian point of view. Perhaps more importantly, the author (who I know personally) puts her theory into practice. In fact, the book grew out of her own journey of civic ...more | |

| Lots of good material here. Woods understandably relies on many seconary sources, which is fine in an introductory overview. We Protestants need to give the Catholic church its due. My only quibble is that he subsumes the early and patristic church u ...more | |

| Fascinating history! Although not a Christian himself, Moyn is honest with the evidence that it was Christian theologians, politicians and writers who advocated and implented the notion of "human rights" in the modern period. ...more | |

| Very thorough scholarship. Essential reading for anyone engaged in economics, political theology, or mercy ministry. | |
“Another real danger to young men is thoughtlessness and lack of consideration. Lack of thought is one simple reason why thousands of souls are cast away forever. Men will not consider,-will not look forward,-will not look around them,-will not reflect on the end of their present course, and the sure consequences of their present ways,-and awake at last to find they are damned for lack of thinking.”

“Be very sure of this,-people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well; they understand that it condemns their own behavior; they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment.”

“Christians were never meant to be normal. We’ve always been holy troublemakers, we’ve always been creators of uncertainty, agents of dimension that’s incompatible with the status quo; we do not accept the world as it is, but we insist on the world becoming the way that God wants it to be. And the Kingdom of God is different from the patterns of this world.”

“Christianity has from its beginning portrayed itself as a gospel of peace, a way of reconciliation (with God, with other creatures), and a new model of human community, offering the 'peace which passes understanding' to a world enmeshed in sin and violence. (1)”
