About the Author: Nancy Randolph Pearcey is the Francis A. Schaeffer Scholar at the World Journalism Institute, where she teaches a worldview course based on the study guide edition of Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity. In 2005, Total Truth won the ECPA Gold Medallion Award in the Christianity & Society category, in addition to an Award of Merit in the Christianity Today book awards. After graduating from Iowa State University with a Distributed Studies degree (philosophy, German, music), she earned a master’s degree in Biblical Studies from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, then pursued further graduate work in the history of philosophy at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto (with emphases on ancient and Reformational philosophy). Pearcey is currently a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, where the focus of her work is on the cultural and philosophical implications of the evolution controversy. A frequent public lecturer, Pearcey has spoken to actors and screenwriters in Hollywood; students and faculty at universities such as Dartmouth, Stanford, USC, and Princeton; scientists at national labs such as Sandia and Los Alamos; staffers at Congress and the White House; and various activist and church groups around the country, including the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. She has appeared on NPR, and a lecture based on Total Truth was broadcast by C-SPAN.

In 1991 she became the founding editor of “BreakPoint,” a national daily radio commentary program, and continued as the program’s executive editor for nearly nine years, heading up a team of writers. Under her leadership, the program grew into an influential organ for teaching a Christian worldview perspective on current events, with an estimated weekly audience of five million. She was also policy director and senior fellow of the Wilberforce Forum, and for five years coauthored a monthly column in Christianity Today. Pearcey has served as a visiting scholar at Biola University’s Torrey Honors Institute, managing editor of the science journal Origins & Design, an editorial board member for Salem Communications Network, and a commentator on Public Square Radio.

The Soul of Science: Christian Faith and Natural Philosophy book pdf download By Nancy Pearcey

“I consider The Soul of Science to be a most significant book which, in our scientific age, should be required reading for all thinking Christians and all practicing scientists. The authors demonstrate how the flowering of modern science depended upon the Judeo-Christian worldview of the existence of a real physical contingent universe, created and held in being by an omnipotent personal God, with man having the capabilities of rationality and creativity, and thus being capable of investigating it. Pearcey and Thaxton make excellent use of analogies to elucidate difficult concepts, and the clarity of their explanations for the nonspecialist, for example, of Einstein’s relativity theories or of the informational content of DNA and its consequences for theories of prebiotic evolution, are quite exceptional, alone making the volume worth purchasing.” –Dr. David Shotton, Lecturer in Cell Biology, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford “Pearcey and Thaxton show that the alliance between atheism and science is a temporary aberration and that, far from being inimical to science, Christian theism has played and will continue to play an important role in the growth of scientific understanding. This brilliant book deserves wide readership.” –Phillip E. Johnson, University of California, Berkeley “This book would be an excellent text for courses on science and religion, and it should be read by all Christians interested in the relationship between science and their theological commitments.” –J.P. Moreland, Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity book pdf download By Nancy Pearcey

Is God a public figure? Does Christianity have a legitimate role to play in the public realm of politics, business, law, and education? Or are secularists right? When they relegate religion to the strictly private realm of faith and feelings? In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the split between public and private, fact and feelings. She reveals the strategies of secularist gatekeepers who use this division to banish biblical principles from the cultural mainstream, stripping Christianity of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture. How can we overcome this divide? Unify our fragmented lives? Recover authentic spirituality? With compelling examples from the struggles of real people, Pearcey shows how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical, hands-on steps for developing a full-orbed Christian worldview. Finally, she makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. It is total truth. This new Study Guide Edition of Total Truth is filled with fresh stories, examples, and illustrations. Based on questions and comments raised by readers of the book, it is ideal for individual or group study. Total Truth received the Award of Merit in the Christianity & Culture category in Christianity Today’s 2005 book awards, and it won the 2005 ECPA Gold Medallion Award for best book in the Christianity & Society category. “COMPELLING” EXCEPTIONAL… the rare long book that leaves one wanting to read more.” —Publishers Weekly “A book of UNUSUAL IMPORTANCE by an author of UNUSUAL ABILITY.” —Phillip Johnson, UC Berkeley, from the Foreword “SPLENDID, COMPREHENSIVE, PERSONAL MAGNUM OPUS… Every page is loaded with trenchant insights.” —Ralph Winter, U.S. Center for World Mission “UNIQUE COMBINATION of apologetics, worldview analysis, social commentary, and instruction manual. Pearcey’s knowledge, insight, and faith place her among the TOP HANDFUL OF RELEVANT CHRISTIAN THINKERS of our time.” —David Limbaugh, Columnist, Author, Persecution “BRILLIANT… Pearcey has a mind like a jewel.” —Lael Arrington, Author, Worldproofing Your Kids “PROFOUND… Pearcey makes complex issues clear as no one else has.” —Ted Baehr, Founder, Movieguide “MARVELOUS CLARITY… Pearcey explains how modern science reinforces Christianity—and why more Christians should be aware of it.” —Michael Behe, Author, Darwin’s Black Box “AMAZING in the depth of its worldview analysis” SUPERBLY CRAFTED” BEST WORK of cultural analysis from a Christian standpoint available today.” —James Sire, Author, The Universe Next Door “BOLD MANIFESTO… May well be one of the most important Christian books of our times.” —Al Mohler, President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “Pearcey is FIRING ON ALL PISTONS… I love her stubborn and intelligent insistence on the gospel’s truth and relevance to all of life.” —Kelly Monroe Kullberg, Coauthor & Editor, Finding God at Harvard “BREAKS NEW GROUND in worldview analysis” the most insightful applications since Francis Schaeffer.” —Gene Edward Veith, Culture Editor, World “ALL WILL PROFIT MIGHTILY from what is written here.” Pearcey takes us into truer and worthier witness in our increasingly secularized world.” —J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College “ASTUTE CULTURAL CRITIC and one of the few female intellectuals in evangelicalism.” —The Evangelical Outpost “If you feel lost in the fog of today’s cultural confusions, READ THIS BOOK.” —James Skillen, President, Center for Public Justice

How Now Shall We Live book pdf download By Nancy Pearcey

Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that not only answers life’s basic questions—Where did we come from, and who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?—but also shows us how we should live as a result of those answers. How Now Shall We Live? gives Christians the understanding, the confidence, and the tools to confront the world’s bankrupt worldviews and to restore and redeem every aspect of contemporary culture: family, education, ethics, work, law, politics, science, art, music. This book will change every Christian who reads it. It will change the church in the new millennium.

San Pablo (Saúl de Tarso) es uno de los personajes más controvertidos del cristianismo y ha sido el gran apóstol de la religión, escribiendo 14 de los 27 libros del Nuevo Testamento. Además ha difundido las enseñanzas cristianas con tanto éxito que logró convertir a una oscura secta minoritaria en la más grande religión de la civilización occidental. Muchos de sus escritos, analizados desde la modernidad, dan lugar a que San Pablo sea uno de los apóstoles más cuestionados por gente de toda ideología, acusándolo de misógino, esclavista y totalitario entre otras cosas. Ahora la autora intenta situar al personaje histórico en su debido contexto para poder ver con ecuanimidad su contribución a la historia.

Author: John Polkinghorne

About the Author: John Carlton Polkinghorn, British theoretical physicist, religious thinker, writer, and Anglican priest, born in 1930 As president of Queen’s College Cambridge from 1988 to 1996, Polkinghorne authored five books on physics and twenty-six books on the relationship between science and religion. His books include Quantum World 1989, Quantum Physics and Theology: An Unexpected Connection 2005, Exploring Truth: The Intertwining of Science and Religion 2007 , Questions of Truth 2009, A Polkinghorn Reader (edited by Thomas J. Ord) and providing key summaries of Polkinghorn’s most influential books, knighted in 1997 and awarded a £1m Templeton Prize in 2002 for his outstanding contributions to affirming the spiritual dimension of life.

The Faith of a Physicist: Reflections of a Bottom-Up Thinker book pdf download By John Polkinghorne

Is it possible to think like a scientist and yet have the faith of a Christian? Although many Westerners might say no, there are also many critically minded individuals who entertain what John Polkinghorne calls a “wistful wariness” toward religion–they feel unable to accept religion on rational grounds yet cannot dismiss it completely. Polkinghorne, both a particle physicist and Anglican priest, here explores just what rational grounds there could be for Christian beliefs, maintaining that the quest for motivated understanding is a concern shared by scientists and religious thinkers alike. Anyone who assumes that religion is based on unquestioning certainties, or that it need not take into account empirical knowledge, will be challenged by Polkinghorne’s bottom-up examination of Christian beliefs about events ranging from creation to the resurrection. The author organizes his inquiry around the Nicene Creed, an early statement that continues to summarize Christian beliefs. He applies to each of its tenets the question, “What is the evidence that makes you think this might be true?” The evidence Polkinghorne weighs includes the Hebrew and Christian scriptures–their historical contexts and the possible motivations for their having been written–scientific theories, and human self-consciousness as revealed in literary, philosophical, and psychological works. He begins with the words, “We believe,” and presents understandings of the nature of humanity, showing, for example, that Cartesian theory, evolution, and natural selection do not tell the entire story of what humans are about, especially in light of many sources that attest to our spirituality. Moving through the Creed, Polkinghorne considers the concept of divinity and God as creator in discussions that cover the Theory of Everything, the Big Bang Theory, and the possibility of divine presence within reality so that God is not simply an outside observer. Chapters on Jesus analyze the different ways events are described in the Gospels and the way motivation for belief is conveyed–for example, how do these writings explain why a young man killed in public disgrace could inspire a following, when other major world religious leaders lived to become highly revered elders in their communities? “Faith seeking understanding” is, according to Polkinghorne, like the scientific quest. Both are journeys of intellectual discovery in which those who survey experience from an initially chosen point of view must be open to correction in the light of further experience. “Religion,” he writes, “has long known that ultimately every human image of God proves to be an inadequate idol.” The Faith of a Physicist, based on the prestigious 1993 Gifford Lectures, delivers a powerful message to scientists and theologians, theists and atheists alike.

Author: Walter Brueggemann

About the Author: Walter Brueggemann (born March 11, 1933) is an American Protestant Old Testament scholar and theologian who is widely considered one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of the last several decades. He is an important figure in modern progressive Christianity whose work often focuses on the Hebrew prophetic tradition and sociopolitical imagination of the Church. He argues that the Church must provide a counter-narrative to the dominant forces of consumerism, militarism, and nationalism.

Materiality as Resistance: Five Elements for Moral Action in the Real World book pdf download By Walter Brueggemann

What is materiality?
Jesus practiced materiality when he healed the bodies of the sick, proclaimed Jubilee to the poor, and fed the five thousand. He practiced materiality over materialism. In Materiality as Resistance, Walter Brueggemann defines materiality as the use of the material aspects of the Christian faith, as opposed to materialism, which places possessions and physical comfort over spiritual values. In this concise volume, Brueggemann lays out how we as Christians may reengage our materiality for the common good. How does materiality inform our faith when it comes to food, money, the body, time, and place? How does it force us to act? Likewise, how is the church obligated to use its time, money, abundance of food, the care and use of our bodies, observance of Sabbath, and stewardship of our world and those with whom we share it? With a foreword from Jim Wallis, Materiality as Resistance serves as a manifesto of Walter Brueggemann’s most important work and as an engaging call to action. It is suited for group or individual study.

He aquí un libro para todo cristiano que pretenda hallar el fundamento desde donde poder vivir una vida más auténtica y construir una sociedad más perfecta. El célebre escriturista Walter Brueggemann ha visto en los profetas (principalmente en Jeremías e Isaías) y, posteriormente, en Jesús el verdadero sello de la imaginación profética, y presenta este rasgo como algo a imitar urgentemente por el cristiano de hoy. En un estilo coloquial , y en ocasiones apasionado, Brueggemann muestra en qué consiste la imaginación profética y porqué puede transformar, de un modo profundo e inusitado, el presente. Describe la imaginación profética como una fuerza capaz de reconciliar las tradiciones religiosas con las realidades de nuestra sociedad contemporánea. Una comprensión nítida de la imaginación profética que conjugue su rica referencia veterotestamentaria con el misterio profético de Jesús podrá dar lugar al desarrollo de una “conciencia alternativa” para nuestro tiempo. WALTER BRUEGGEMANN es Profesor de Antiguo Testamento y Decano del “Eden Theological Seminary”, en Webster Groves, Missouri.
