Alan Morrison, 740pp, red cloth
It is widely believed today that the world is now moving into a post-Christian Era, and that this will be an age of peace, justice and human brotherhood. But the religion of this New Age has all the hallmarks of the ancient heresy of Gnosticism which so plagued the early Christian Church. Not only has this religion penetrated many areas of cultural life today - science, the ...

An examination of Paul's instructions to Timothy
by Phil Roberts, 84pp, booklet
The question of whether women may teach and exercise authority in the church is the subject of debate as never before. Historically, eldership has been solely a male preserve. Was this a product of culture or a response to biblical teaching?

'I have never been more comfortable with the fact that I don't believe in God.'
This declaration of unbelief, uttered by a member of the British public on BBC Five Live a week after 'nine-eleven', epitomizes the response of many to the violence and bloodshed currently being perpetrated in the name of religion. It bespeaks the new urgency and intensity of today's popular debate about God.
In his scholarly and well-written study, Philip Blair traces and analyses man's attitude to the divine from earliest times to the present day, paying special attention to the witness of Jesus of Nazareth. After careful consideration of the data available, he concludes that belief in God is both normative and rational.
Dr Blair takes full account of atheistic contributions to the God-debate by thinkers and scientists such as Ludovic Kennedy, A.N. Wilson and, most recently, Richard Dawkins, exposing the weakness of their position with fact and cogent argument.
