It is often said that “no one spoke more about hell than Jesus.” This book examines the words of the Savior of the World to see if that statement is true. What if the teaching that there is a place of never-ending punishment is the result of bad interpretations of things Jesus said? And what if the teaching that there is a “hell” was not passed on by the original disciples? Is never-ending torment consistent with what Jesus said about love and forgiveness?

What is the relationship between charity and knowledge in the theology of Thomas Aquinas? Did Aquinas in his mature thought portray charity's act as antecedent to and independent of practical reasoning? Did he view charity's motion as rendering us morally good before God, apart from whether or not we do what is right in our actions? A dominant stream in contemporary Catholic ethics holds for precisely such a concept of charity, and many recent commentators on Aquinas maintain that this is his position as well.

The first section summarizes the case laws. The author tenderly illustrates how the law is for our good, and makes clear the difference between the sacrificial laws and those that apply today. The second section vividly shows the practical implications of the law. The examples catch the reader's attention; the author clearly has had much experience discussing God's law. The third section shows that would-be challengers to God's law produce only poison and death. Only God's law can claim to express God's "covenant grace in helping us."

How did science replace God and deceive the whole world? How did math replace God and deceive all of us? There’s an entire hidden history that reveals how science and math usurped God, but it’s a history that has never been told. Christians and pastors are generally unaware of this history. It's time to address this issue, because many have tried to eliminate God entirely from the discussion of creation, and expunge God as the cause of all that has been created in the heavens and on earth. The driving force of this new thrust to usurp God entirely from existence and from all possible ...

Viewing human nature as one that seeks the dichotomy of both imagination and reason, he argues that the Christian faith is the only true fulfillment of both of those needs. Chesterson explains that Christianity is the only faith that can answer the basic needs and desires of all humans because it has both in its very structure. A rigid morality combined with an allowance for some interpretation of truth and way of life, Christianity resolves the human need for a life that follows both logic and romance.

We live in a genuinely unique period of human history, one in which the alarmist's hackneyed warning that "the end is near!" could actually come true. The world is cluttered with increasingly powerful advanced technologies. Global warming and biodiversity loss are unchecked catastrophes that will likely push society to the brink of collapse. How are we to respond to this situation? What can we do to maximize the probability of a positive outcome for our species?
