Käre Greg! Din idé om en dialog kring kristendomen verkar väldigt intressant och jag ställer gärna upp. Jag har den tid som behövs...
Du inbjöd mig att komma fram med alla invändningar mot kristendomen som jag kunde komma på, så jag börjar direkt. En sak som jag har undrat öv[...]
The church was established to serve the world with Christ-like love, not to rule the world. It is called to look like a corporate Jesus, dying on the cross for those who crucified him, not a religious version of Caesar. It is called to manifest the kingdom of the cross in contrast to the kingdom of [...]
According to Scot McKnight, "kingdom" is the biblical term most misused by Christians today. It has taken on meanings that are completely at odds with what the Bible says. "Kingdom" has become a buzzword for both social justice and redemption so that it has lost its connection with Israel and with t[...]
Greg Boyd and his father, Ed, were on opposite sides of a great divide. Greg was a newfound Christian, while his father was a longtime agnostic. So Greg offered his father an invitation: Ed could write with any questions on Christianity, and his son would offer a response."Letters from a Skeptic" co[...]
En meget interessant bok, der en far som er ateist, skriver brev til sin sønn som er teolog. Faren utfordrer sønnen på mange av de spørsmål folk har i dag: Hvordan kunne Gud som er god skape Satan? Hva med all nøden i verden? En brevveksling som strakte seg over tre år og som førte til at fa[...]
Epäilijän kirjeissä tohtori Gregory Boyd ja hänen isänsä Edward Boyd keskustelevat monista kristinuskoa, seurakuntaa ja Raamattua koskevista asioista.- Miksi maailma on niin täynnä kärsimystä?- Tietääkö Jumala tulevaisuuden?- Miten voin uskoa Jeesuksen ylösnousemukseen?- Miksi uskoisin[...]
The artistic relationships among Jackson Pollock (1912 - 1956), Alfonso Ossorio (1916 - 1990), and Jean Dubuffet (1901 - 1985) strongly influenced the development of postwar art. Ossorio, the central figure in the trio, was an early champion of Pollock and the close friend of Dubuffet, whose radical[...]
A world-wide movement is assessed by a former oneness Pentecostal who warns that the time has passed for ignoring this small group. Boyd clarifies misconception that the early church believed a "oneness" gospel and carefully distinguishes the views of oneness believers from trinitarian Pentecostals [...]
This new edition of a popular text presents an accessible yet comprehensive primer that helps readers understand the breadth of viewpoints on major issues in evangelical theology, with chapters using the popular three- or four-views book format. The authors carefully examine positions taken by evang[...]
Perhaps no theological topic is more hotly debated within evangelical Christianity these days than God's foreknowledge. Is the future exhaustively settled, or does it include possibilities ("maybes")? In encountering such questions, a growing number of evangelicals are becoming dissatisfied with the[...]
One of the most common problems with Christians in our modern secularized world is that they don't feel the reality of Jesus. Sure, they believe in him and love him, but he somehow doesn't seem to enter their daily lives in a real sense. Some might say, "You ought to pray more." Others would advise,[...]
We human beings are burdened by our tendencies to harshly judge others and ourselves. Unfortunately for believers, this bent is as prevalent in the church as in the world. Pastor and author Gregory A. Boyd calls readers to a higher standard through understanding the true manner in which God views hu[...]
In some way or another most of us are "stuck" - in a secret sin we can't control or maybe by an inability to stand up for ourselves. In "Escaping the Matrix", authors Gregory A. Boyd and Al Larson use the vehicle of "The Matrix" film trilogy to argue that our struggles with habitual sin, thought pat[...]
Where does evil come from? If there is a sovereign creator God, as Christian faith holds, is this God ultimately responsible for evil? Does God's sovereignty mean that God causes each instance of sin and suffering? How do Satan, his demons and hell fit into God's providential oversight of all creati[...]
In this bold and compelling work, Gregory Boyd undertakes to reframe the central issues of Christian theodicy. By Boyd's estimate, theologians still draw too heavily on Augustine's response to the problem of evil, attributing pain and suffering to the mysterious "good" purposes of God. Accordingly, [...]
Is God to blame? This is often the question that comes to mind when we confront real suffering in our own lives or in the lives of those we love. Pastor Gregory A. Boyd helps us deal with this question honestly and biblically, while avoiding glib answers. Writing for ordinary Christians, Boyd wrestl[...]
Anabaptist Christians have been around for almost 500 years. But what does Anabaptism look like when not clothed in Mennonite or Amish traditions? Writing from Great Britain, Stuart Murray peels back the layers to reveal the core components of Anabaptism and what they mean for faith in his context a[...]
