  How will the Christian faith survive in a skeptical world? Modernists in the early twentieth century considered the solution to be clear. Thinking the church needed to be rescued from irrelevance, they laid aside unpopular teachings from the Bible and recast Christianity simply as a way of life. Resisting these attempts, J. Gresham Machen gave an unbending response: Christian doctrine isn’t the problem—unbelief is.   This one-hundredth anniversary edition of Christianity and Liberalism shows a new generation that God’s message of salvation is timeless. In defending essential Christian doctrines and exposing liberalism as a false religion, Machen reminds the church that we are entrusted with the truth that the world needs most.

  An intriguing supplement to the Book of Genesis, “The First and Second Books of Adam and Eve” remains an ancient text of great interest to modern readers. 
  We are given intriguing insights into what life was like in the almost 1,600 years leading up to the biblical Great Flood of Noah, and how evil came to dominate the whole Earth due to Satan and the cursed Fallen Angels, who still seek to tempt, corrupt and destroy the world today. 
  These books bring out the astounding knowledge and dynamic details as to how emotional it was for Adam and Eve — physically and spiritually — to have to leave the Garden of Eden, where they had personal interaction with God the Father, and be thrust out into the physical world due to their disobedience.  
  When “The First and Second Books of Adam and Eve” were written and by whom remains a mystery. Parts of this ancient book are found in the Talmud, the Koran, and also in the early writings of the Greeks, Syrians, Egyptians, Abyssinians, Hebrews, and other ancient peoples, showing what a vital role it played in ancient wisdom literature.  
  This audiobook version is read by Christopher Glyn from the English translation by Dr. S.C. Malan, working from the Ethiopic translation of the Arabic original. It was first published in 1882 as part of “The Forgotten Books of Eden”.

  The Doctrine of Good Works -...

  In Titus, Paul says Christ redeemed a people "zealous for good works." Despite this declaration and others like it, the doctrine of good works has fallen on hard times in contemporary Protestant theology and practice. At best, it's neglected—as in most systematic theologies and in too much church teaching. At worst, it's viewed with suspicion—as a threat to salvation by grace alone through faith alone. 
   
   
   
  In this important work addressing a significant gap in current theological literature, the authors argue that by jettisoning a doctrine of good works, the contemporary church contradicts historical Protestantism and, more importantly, biblical teaching. They combine their areas of expertise—exegesis, systematic and historical theology, and practical theology—to help listeners recover and embrace a positive doctrine of good works. They survey historical Protestant teaching to show the importance of the doctrine to our forebears, engage the scriptural testimony on the role of good works, formulate a theology of salvation and good works, and explore pastoral applications.

  Acceptance and Meaning in Grief

  Finding Purpose in Grief.  
  Grief not only puts our loss and our own life in perspective but it also offers the opportunity to re-visit and review the meaning of our life.   
  Our world may seem as if it is over and we might find it difficult to find a reason to carry on living. If we can find meaning in our grief, it protects us and our health both physically and mentally.  
  Victor Frankl observed many times that the ones who survived the Holocaust of the German concentration camps were the ones who could find meaning. He supports Nietzsche’s words, ‘He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how.’ [1]  
  Deciding if someone is likely to commit suicide is deemed much more unlikely if they have ‘protective’ factors in their life, such as close family or a project they need to finish. 
  That is they have meaning in their life. The principle of having enough meaning in their life to consider it worthwhile continuing living is used by all those assessing someone for suicidal risk.  
  It is not difficult to find ‘meaning’ in our own life, to have something or someone to live for. But trying to understand ‘the meaning of life’ is a different thing altogether. Perhaps this is best explained simply by the most highly regarded scientist and the most highly regarded sage of the last century. 
  Albert Einstein says the aim is to stop seeing our self as being separated from the part of the whole, the “Universe.” He calls it a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. Ramana Maharshi says our knowledge and identity of what we are is false. He describes our deeper inner Self as ‘eternal,’ which arises and returns to the same source.  
  So essentially, they both say our experience of who we think we are, our experience of ourselves as separate individuals is incorrect and that we are part of everything.
