Sinossi

"Norway Without God" explores the pivotal role of Christian values in shaping Norway's national identity, legal system, and social cohesion from the Viking Age to the present day. This thought-provoking book challenges readers to consider the implications of secularization on modern societies, using Norway as a compelling case study.

The author argues that Christian principles have been instrumental in building a stable and prosperous nation, and questions whether abandoning this foundation could lead to unforeseen societal challenges. The book traces Norway's historical development, examining how Christian values became intertwined with law and governance. It highlights the gradual integration of religious principles into Norwegian society, from the Viking era through the Middle Ages and beyond.

By drawing on a rich tapestry of historical documents, legal texts, and archaeological evidence, the author paints a comprehensive picture of Norway's religious and cultural evolution. As the narrative progresses, "Norway Without God" delves into contemporary Norwegian society, analyzing the potential consequences of the rising tide of atheism and materialism.

The book's unique approach lies in its critical examination of secularization, challenging readers to reconsider the often-positive narrative surrounding the retreat of religion from public life. By connecting history, law, sociology, and religious studies, this work offers valuable insights into the complex relationship between religious heritage and modern pluralism in Norway and beyond.

Testimony - Inside the...

Jon Ward

Jon Ward's life is divided in half: two decades inside the evangelical Christian bubble and two decades outside of it. 
 
 
 
In Testimony, Ward tells the engaging story of his upbringing in, and eventual break from, an influential evangelical church in the 1980s and 1990s. Ward sheds light on the evangelical movement's troubling political and cultural dimensions, tracing the ways in which the Jesus People movement was seduced by materialism and other factors to become politically captive rather than prophetic. 
 
 
 
A respected journalist, Ward asks uncomfortable but necessary questions, calling those inside and outside conservative Christian circles to embrace truth, complexity, and nuance. He recounts his growing alarm and grief over the last several years as evangelical conservatives attacked truth, rejected personal character, and embraced authoritarianism and conspiracism. He shares his search for a faith that embodies the values he was taught as a child. 
 
 
 
Ward's experience and reflections will resonate with many listeners who grew up in the evangelical movement as well as all those who have an interest in the health of the church and its impact on American life.

Heaven

Dwight L. Moody

Perhaps the greatest American evangelist of the nineteenth century, Dwight L. Moody inspired millions with his sermons. Although a century and a half separates us from his impassioned explications of the Bible, Moody’s ardor rings with overtones of today’s fundamentalist Christianity and can offer critical clues to understanding the orthodox religious outlook still dramatically influencing our culture in the twenty-first century. 
Moody explains why Christians believe that the Bible is invariably correct (“None of the other religious volumes, like the Koran, that claim a divine origin, agree with common sense.”); who resides in heaven (“The inhabitants of Heaven will be select.”); and that they are set apart from the larger culture (“We must go against the current of this world.”); and more.
