Sinopsis

In "Trial of C. B. Reynolds For Blasphemy, at Morristown, N. J., May 1887: Defence," Robert Green Ingersoll delves into the complexities of legal and moral philosophy surrounding the blasphemy trial of C. B. Reynolds. With a rich, rhetorical style that reflects Ingersoll's background as an orator and attorney, the book offers a robust defense of Reynolds, challenging the societal and legal norms of 19th-century America. Through vivid prose and incisive argumentation, Ingersoll critiques the intersection of religion and law, advocating for the importance of free thought and individual rights in a period marked by rampant dogmatism and intolerance. Ingersoll, a prominent agnostic and one of the most influential speakers of the 19th century, drew on his profound disdain for religious dogma and fervent belief in humanism, civil liberties, and rationalism in crafting this defense. His experiences in a society contentious over religion and morality informed his perspective, presenting an urgent commentary on the state of free expression and the legal repercussions facing dissenters in his time. This work is essential for readers interested in the historical intersection of law, religion, and individual rights. Ingersoll provides insights that remain relevant today, making this text not only a legal defense but also a powerful manifesto advocating for the liberation of thought from the shackles of oppressive moral codes.

    Max Lucado's first book that journeys from the birth of Christ to His resurrection. 
    Drawing from his classic writing on Jesus combined with new reflections and breathtaking art, Max Lucado again opens our eyes—and hearts—to the life and work of the Savior in a way that will change lives forever.  “Jesus was, at once, common and not; alternately normal and heroic. One minute blending in with the domino players in the park, the next commanding the hell out of madmen, disease out of the dying, and death out of the dead.”  Who was this man who spoke as easily with kids and fishermen as widows and waves? It is the question that has echoed down through the centuries to us today, and here is a visually stunning book that answers aspects of that question.

    Read by the author. 
    A new and inviting introduction to the Acts of the Apostles from New Testament scholar and theologian N. T. Wright. 
    Acts is a substantial book. It sits right in the middle of the New Testament, looking back to the four Gospels and ahead to the mission of the early church. It provides a framework for our understanding of the letters; but it does more than that. Acts offers a sophisticated and nuanced view of what it means to think of the gospel of Jesus, Israel's Messiah, going out into the world over which Israel's Messiah claims the status of Lord. 
    This Christian movement and thinking, detailed in Acts, entailed confronting the wider culture of the Greek and Roman world, as well as the culture of the Jewish world, which provides us today with an important message as we ourselves face new questions about gospel and contemporary culture. 
    From the renowned author of Into the Heart of Romans, N. T. Wright brings to the book of Acts his expert's eye on theological nuance and cultural context, distilling it down into an introductory commentary, perfect for anyone looking to take their own reading a little deeper and discover the profound (and often forgotten) potential of the church and the Way of Jesus Christ. 
    Suggestions for further reading can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Contemporary American evangelicalism is suffering from an identity crisis—and a lot of bad press. 
     
     
     
    In this book, acclaimed author Karen Swallow Prior examines evangelical history, both good and bad. By analyzing the literature, art, and popular culture that has surrounded evangelicalism, she unpacks some of the movement's most deeply held concepts, ideas, values, and practices to consider what is Christian rather than merely cultural. The result is a clearer path forward for evangelicals amid their current identity crisis—and insight for others who want a deeper understanding of what the term "evangelical" means today. 
     
     
     
    This book explores ideas including conversion, domesticity, empire, sentimentality, and more. In the end, it goes beyond evangelicalism to show us how we might be influenced by images, stories, and metaphors in ways we cannot always see.
