ASTONISHING GRACE
Quay, who is clearly a Greek scholar, does not make the reader feel stupid or inadequate by his erudition in explaining and applying the meaning of Greek words.
He opens by giving the reader a brief outline of Paul's authorship, his audience, the Judaizers and the major themes in Galatians.

he Bible Theft: Guarding Against Those who Steal God's Word from the Church
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
"Here is a series of penetrating expositions which are clearer and contemporary, bringing God's changeless Word to bear on a confused and changing World. Such preaching has been called 'logic on fire' -- some of these sermons are white hot. A much-needed message for today. Highly recommended reading."

Vicar, St. John Newland, Hull

The Spreading Cancer of Cultural Marxism in The West
This highly readable book examines the spreading cancer of cultural Marxism in the Western world through the lens of two stories. One is CS Lewis's 1945 science fiction novel, That Hideous Strength, about a bunch of godless technocrats in the National Institute of Co-ordinated Experiments (N.I.C.E) whose goal is the 'scientific reconstruction of the human race in the direction of increased efficiency'.

Just Love -- a journey of self-acceptance
Just Love is her story. It is lightweight, gossipy, disjointed but otherwise easy to read. One does not need to read far to become strangely uncomfortable. Her story is an extraordinary, emotional roller-coaster. She plunges into the depths of despair then rises to the heights of exhilaration -- again and again. Resolution, which I anticipated from the title, never comes.

THE GLOBAL ANGLICAN COMMUNION
Noll begins, "Since the 1960s, the Episcopal Church and other Western churches have been undermining the road, removing the ancient paving stones, and leaving behind huge potholes for people to stumble into. Three of those paving stones are the authority of the Bible, the divine institution of marriage, and the doctrine and discipline of the church.

Book review: Reimagining Britain: Foundations of Hope by Justin Welby
Time and again Welby brings us back to 1945, the last occasion, he suggests, when Britain was forced to reimagine itself. His enthusiasm for William Beveridge, the 1944 Education Act, the NHS and the massive housebuilding programme of the postwar Attlee government remains utterly undimmed. Those who are inclined to see the welfare state as the incubator of many of our present ills will not find much succour in these pages.

How 'Imagining the Divine' got it wrong
The exhibition thus poses some fundamental philosophical and theological questions to which it appears to assume the answers are clear: namely that all religion ( note the use of the singular in the quote) is the expression of one underlying idea which as it emerges and spreads in various areas takes on facets of what it already finds there to present it in a new way.
