Just Sex: Is it ever just sex?
Guy Brandon, March 2009
Price: £8.50
Described as 'a watershed book' and 'compulsory reading for all serious minded Christians', Just Sex launched the Fair Sex Movement.
People today seem hopelessly confused about sex. On the one hand, it is meant to be something special, the most intimate of relationships. On the other hand, it is casually dismissed as trivial - merely or 'just' sex. This book encourages us to consider whether the impact of our sexual relationships on others around us is fair, or just.
With conviction and pastoral sensitivity, Guy Brandon explains the strength and integrity of the Christian world-view of sex. In doing so, he also addresses the inconsistency and inadequacy of the prevailing idea that consent alone is enough to sanction a sexual relationship. Demonstrating the injustice created by this approach he offers a better, more just way, which brings with it the promise of God's shalom.

Unity and diversity: the Church, race and ethnicity
Sujit Sivasundaram, December 2008 6 comments
Price: £0.99 (free online)
The affirmation of ethnic diversity can give the individual believer and the local congregation a sense of cohesion and belonging. Yet, if ethnicity becomes a primary criterion defining identity, we risk marginalising ethnic minorities. This paper brings the twin principles of unity and diversity to bear on four contexts: the individual Christian, the local congregation, the global church and the church in society. In each case, it advocates the celebration of both the unity of how being in Christ sees ethnic differences disappear and the diversity that emerges in understanding and respecting ethnic differences amongst believers.

The Case for and Nature of Relational Colleges and Universities
Michael Schluter, October 2008
Price: FREE
Despite the fact that over half the British population still identify themselves as Christian, our political leaders now insist that many Christian institutions cannot receive public funding. Even those who would argue in favour of creating Christian universities in Britain today, as Nigel Paterson does in his latest Cambridge Paper, ‘Do we need a Christian university?’, accept that there are a number of barriers that make this unlikely. In countries where governments are hostile to Christian institutions, is there any alternative?

Do we need a Christian university?
Nigel Paterson, September 2008 12 comments
Price: £0.99 (free online)
The concept of a university was substantially a Christian innovation, yet most modern universities are secular institutions. This paper surveys briefly the historical background which shows how this came about and the institutional landscape of higher education today. Next, biblical perspectives applicable to all Christians involved in higher education are explored. At the heart of the paper, there lies a discussion of the arguments for and against a Christian university, and the characteristics of such a new Christian university, as envisaged by the author, are presented. The paper is intended to provoke readers across the world to thought, discussion and a more informed response to the many possibilities for Christian service within higher education.
