The God Delusion order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Richard Dawkins
Published by: Bantam Press
In Stock: 2
"The God Delusion" caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within weeks it became the most hotly debated topic, with Dawkins himself branded as either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types. His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women's and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind. Dawkins attacks God in all his forms. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and ... more

A Book of Uncommon Prayer order quantity

NZ$ 28.00 each
Paperback
Author: Theo Dorgan
Published by: Penguin Books Ltd
In Stock: 1
"A Book of Uncommon Prayer" is a collection of spiritual and devotional texts, drawn from both inside and outside the limits of the world's religious traditions. Intended for believers and non-believers alike, it is organized with attention to the occasions of prayer, prayerful thought, and meditation. "A Book of Uncommon Prayer" is built around the idea that in an age marked at once by religious violence and the falling away of orthodox religious observance in the wealthy countries of the West, genuine spiritual curiosity is on the rise, and may be fed by a book that recognizes - and demonstrates - the universality of prayer.

A People's History of Christianity : The other side of the story order quantity

NZ$ 29.00 each
Paperback
Author: Diana Butler Bass
Published by: HarperPaperbacks
In Stock: 1
For too long, the history of Christianity has been told as the triumph of orthodox doctrine imposed through power. Now, historian Diana Butler Bass sheds new light on the surprising ways that many Christians have refused to conform to a rigid church hierarchy and sought to recapture the radical implications of Jesus's life and message.

A Religious Atheist? Critical Essays on the Work of Lloyd Geering (Out of Print) order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 40.00 each
Paperback
Author: Raymond Pelly & Peter Stuart (eds)
Published by: University of Otago Press
In Stock: 1
During his lifetime, internationally celebrated New Zealand thinker and author Lloyd Geering has published numerous thought-provoking books on the nature of religious belief - and has also been tried for heresy (in 1967).

This book critiques Geering's now well-known religious atheism in terms of its philosophical underpinnings. The authors look at the justifications of 'Geeringism', in particular his rejection of the cognitive content (and other aspects) of Christian belief, and illuminate not only the specifics of his approach to the age-old question 'How are we to live?', but also the wider set of ideas from which such issues have arisen.

Contents:
1 Reading Lloyd Geering
2 Are Religious Beliefs Human Projections?
3 Secularisation: An Outmoded Concept?
4 Lloyd Geering and the End of Resurrection
5 Revisioning the Reality of God
6 Religion without God?
7 The Inventing of Myths, Gods and Paradise
8 Lloyd Geering ... more

Author: Lloyd Geering (Emeritus Professor of Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand)
Published by: Bridget Williams Books

Belief in God has been a cornerstone of Christian faith. But just as the Bible ceased, in the 19th century, to be convincing as the source of divinely revealed knowledge, so the 20th century has witnessed the failure of the conventional idea of God.

Is There a God? order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 29.00 each
Paperback
Author: Richard Swinburne
Published by: Oxford University Press
In Stock: 1
Is There a God? offers a powerful response to modern doubts about the existence of God. It may seem today that the answers to all fundamental questions lie in the province of science, and that the scientific advances of the twentieth century leave little room for God. Cosmologists have rolled back their theories to the moment of the Big Bang, the discovery of DNA reveals the key to life, the theory of evolution explains the development of life...and with each new discovery or development, it seems that we are closer to a complete understanding of how things are. For many people, this gives strength to the belief that God is not needed to explain the universe; that religious belief is not based on reason; and that the existence of God is, intellectually, a lost cause.
Richard Swinburne, one of the most distinguished philosophers of religion of our day, argues that on the contrary, science provides good grounds for belief in ... more

Jesus for the Non-Religious order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each
Paperback
Author: John Shelby Spong
Published by: Harpercollins
In Stock: 1
The controversial and bestselling bishop and moral activist attempts to free Jesus from the binding ties of religion so he can become the spiritual and moral hero our world needs.

John Shelby Spong has been on a lifelong quest to rescue the church from irrelevancy. Now he takes aim at the church's core belief: Who is Jesus?

He strips the superstitious myths that have attached themselves to this incredible person, such as: that Jesus was born of a virgin in Bethlehem, that his father was Joseph, that he did miracles, that he had twelve disciples, and especially that he physically rose from the dead. Spong explains how these traditions arose by the early disciples seeing all that Jesus did through the lens of the Hebrew scriptures. We can then see the true Jesus, a heroic figure who revealed divinity through his humanness and can still guide us today.
