'You don't honestly believe all that stuff in the Bible!'
Challenged by her friends, and later as a student by theological
teachers, Amy Orr-Ewing was determined to leave no stone unturned
in her eagerness to prove that the Bible was unique and wholly
reliable. Her passion drove her to complete an in-depth study of
the answers to ten of the most frequently raised objections she
encountered, including: * Isn't it all a matter of interpretation?
* Can we know anything about history? * Are the original
manuscripts reliable? * What about the canon? * What about other
holy books? * Isn't the Bible sexist? * What about all the wars? *
Isn't the Bible out of date on sex? * How can I know? Sensitively
yet convincingly, the author addresses the issues and the
arguments, showing that we have every reason to trust the Bible
today.
Other than baby Jesus, the central character of the Christmas story
is a woman named Mary. At Christmastime we remember that an
ordinary, young, poor, oppressed woman was chosen to play a
significant and breakthrough role in the redemption of the world.
It is no mistake that a woman gets to be a part of all this, and
that her voice, her questions, her fears, and her actions matter.
Mary's faith and her wisdom form an astonishing aspect of the story
of how God became a person for the love of this world. And in our
weary world that is waiting and longing for light, meaning, peace,
and love, we can do as Mary did when she "treasured up all these
things and pondered them in her heart."
Your relationship with God is just a psychological crutch. Belief
in God is dangerous. I used to believe, but I've given it all up.
Is God real? Is it possible to know anything, let alone know him?
Why do bad things happen to people who worship this God? What about
the spiritual experiences of other faiths? All of these
accusations, objections and questions have come directly from
real-life situations. Amy Orr-Ewing writes, 'I hope that the
thoughts offered here will help you see what the Christian faith
has to say amid all the pain, confusion and complexity of life.'
"We write this account of the Taliban with probably a unique
experience and perspective on them. We have a story that
intertwines our lives with theirs long before the twin towers were
destroyed and the appalling attacks on America had wreaked their
havoc. For much of the Western press, the Taliban were just another
fundamentalist regime, renowned for their treatment of women, and
their ultra-orthodoxy. They are a group now ingrained upon the
visual imagination of the western world."Frog and Amy Orr-Ewing
