  Stories We Live By: Audio Bible...

  Michael Keller, Timothy Keller

  "You are the stories that you believe." Tim Keller used this phrase to make the point that stories transmit beliefs and assumptions in packageable sizes. Our culture has many such stories. We don't necessarily call them beliefs but rather say, "This is the just the way things are." They are everywhere in societies today—and are much more influential on our lives that we might think. 
  In fact, just as fish are unaware of the water in which they swim, we can be completely oblivious to the narratives that surround us. Think about it for a moment. Every culture has provided answers to the fundamental questions of life that tell us why we are here (for happiness), what is wrong with us (we aren't being true to ourselves), what will put us right (achieving our authentic identity), how this will put us right (by being free), and how we can do this (by using power to get our freedom). 
  Christians are just as affected by these faulty cultural narratives as everyone else. Even some devout followers of Jesus find parts of the Bible implausible because they've unknowingly absorbed secular narratives that conflict with biblical teaching. They have not engaged, challenged, or dismantled those underlying narratives, and so those stories continue to misshape their understanding of the truth. 
  In Stories We Live By, Michael Keller—son of the late Tim Keller—draws on research collected with his father to identify seven of the most prominent hidden cultural narratives in our world: identity, power, freedom, morality, truth, happiness, and progress. Michael explores what we can affirm and appreciate about each narrative, based on what the Bible tells us and what we must reject. Only then can we see how Christianity offers a more complete story that fulfills our deepest longings.

  You Shall Be as Gods - Pagans...

  Our country doesn't have a partisan problem, a political problem, a social problem, or an economic problem. We have a spiritual problem. 
   
   
   
  As Christianity has been pushed aside, the Progressive Left has developed a new pagan religion. But the radical roots of the new secular religion are ancient. We've seen it all before. In You Shall Be as Gods, Erick Erickson traces the religion's roots from Paganism and Gnosticism through the Age of Enlightenment all the way into the Postmodernism of the twenty-first century. At the heart of the ancient religion is a self-centered culture. 
   
   
   
  The Christian church today has been weakened by compromising with the neo-pagan religion, leaving the faithful ill-prepared to counter the claims of society's present-day doctrine. Yet there remains a significant remnant in America that refuses to bow to the rising belief system. 
   
   
   
  Just as in Rome and countless societies throughout history, the religions present two opposing stories of reality which necessitates conflict. In an era where the "Christian thing" to do seems to be to go along and get along, Erickson makes clear that the two cultures cannot peacefully coexist and calls the listener to speak the truth in love.

  Educating in Faith - A History...

  Mark Cleary

  Roman Catholic public schools in England emerged from the early 1800s as part of the wider educational mission of a Catholic church seeking to support a growing Catholic population.
  
   
  Around a dozen such schools – male, boarding, upper class and staffed by priests, monks and brothers from the dioceses and religious orders – had emerged by the early twentieth century. Some – Ampleforth, Stonyhurst, St Edmund’s, Beaumont, the Oratory, Downside, or Prior Park – catered for an aristocratic clientele, whilst others – Douai, Mt St Mary, Ratcliffe or Cotton – sought more middle class pupils. Their objectives were similar: the creation of a new Catholic elite which might take its place in the Establishment.
  
   
  By the mid-twentieth century, they were at their zenith, but at the millennium they faced the challenges of declining vocations to the religious life, a stagnant Catholic population, and a series of child sexual abuse cases.
  
   
  Educating in Faith seeks to place a diverse set of school histories within the wider demographic, social and religious development of Roman Catholicism in England. It seeks to move beyond the finer detail of school histories to better understand the place of the public schools within the Catholic educational mission and the nature of the academic, cultural and spiritual character of these institutions. As co-education, increasing competition, the disappearance of a religious workforce in the schools and the child sexual abuse crises altered school environments, the book reflects on the contemporary relevance, place and character of these schools.
