Mere Apologetics

Joanna Collicutt McGrath

Addressing the conclusions of 'The God Delusion' with the insight of a molecular biologist turned theologian, McGrath dismantles the argument that science should lead to atheism, and shows instead that Dawkins has abandoned his rationality to embrace an embittered manifesto of dogmatic atheist fundamentalism.

This Companion brings together new contributions from internationally renowned scholars in order to examine the past, present and future of Protestantism. The volume opens with an investigation into the formation of Protestant identity, looking at its historical development across Europe, North America, Asia, Australasia and Africa. This section includes coverage of leading Protestant thinkers, such as Luther, Calvin, Schleiermacher and Barth. The Companion then goes on to consider the interaction of Protestantism with different areas of modern life, including the arts, politics, the law and science. A final section looks to the future of Protestantism, debating what will happen to both Western and non-Western Protestant movements. The Companion takes seriously the shift in Protestantism from a predominantly North Atlantic perspective to a more global reality.; A strength of the volume is contributions by indigenous scholars on regional Protestant history and context as well as essays that examine the nature of neo-Protestant forms and the future of historic Protestantism identities as a consequence of increasing secularity and the emergence of 'new' non-Eurocentric or American Protestants.

Science, Faith, and how We Make Sense of Things

Surprised by Meaning

This book brings together a collection of original essays exploring important themes within Lewis' work, offering new connections and insights into his theology.

The Intellectual World of C. S. Lewis

The Bible is a narrative--the story of God's creation, humankind's fall, and God's plan of redemption. And it is filled with countless smaller stories that teach us about people, history, and the nature of God. It's no surprise that God would choose to reveal himself to us in story--after all, he hardwired us for story. Despite this, we so often attempt to share our faith with others not through story but through systems, arguments, and talking points--methods that appeal only to our mind and neglect our imagination and our emotions. In this groundbreaking book, scholar and author Alister McGrath lays a foundation for narrative apologetics. Exploring four major biblical narratives, enduring stories from our culture such as Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, and personal narratives from people such as Augustine of Hippo and Chuck Colson, McGrath shows how we can both understand and share our faith in terms of story.

Narrative Apologetics

Natural theology, in the view of many, is in crisis. In this long-awaited book, Alister McGrath sets out a new vision for natural theology, re-establishing its legitimacy and utility. A timely and innovative resource on natural theology: the exploration of knowledge of God as it is observed through nature Written by internationally regarded theologian and author of numerous bestselling books, Alister McGrath Develops an intellectually rigorous vision of natural theology as a point of convergence between the Christian faith, the arts and literature, and the natural sciences, opening up important possibilities for dialogue and cross-fertilization Treats natural theology as a cultural phenomenon, broader than Christianity itself yet always possessing a distinctively Christian embodiment Explores topics including beauty, goodness, truth, and the theological imagination; how investigating nature gives rise to both theological and scientific theories; the idea of a distinctively Christian approach to nature; and how natural theology can function as a bridge between Christianity and other faiths
