Book Review: Creation or Evolution - Do We Have to Choose?
Andrew Halestrap, July 2008
Price: FREE
Many scientists, championed by the likes of Richard Dawkins, argue with an almost evangelical zeal that science has all but disproved God. As these views begin to take root in society it is vital that Christians are able to expose the flaws and inconsistencies in the underlying arguments. Yet this task is made harder by some Christians whose desire to uphold the authority of Scripture has led them to dismiss current scientific understanding of the Universe and especially the theory of Evolution.

The Law of Love
David McIlroy, June 2008
Price: FREE
The Bible is clear that to love God involves seeking to be obedient to God. Being God’s people involves seeking to make wise decisions about the way in which God wants us to live. Jesus commands his followers to love God and our neighbours. In working out what that means, followers of Jesus need to take into account what God has revealed in the Torah about what it means to love him and to love another, as fulfilled, interpreted and modelled by Jesus. The Holy Spirit is given to us to enable us to grow in love. In order to make wise decisions we need to have internalised God’s law and to meditate on it with the help of the Spirit. In heaven, doing what God wants will be second nature. Till then, reflection on God’s law is an indispensable part of discerning what it means in practice to love God and to love our neighbour.

God's Law: All you need is love
John Hayward, June 2008
Price: FREE
In a heavily indebted economy, is the ban on interest merely a dead letter? Ought Christians to be marking one day in seven as special, putting aside work for the whole day? Does it matter if a man and his niece get married? Is there anything wrong with cross-dressing? Should Christians tithe? Should Christians not eat meat with blood in it?

Just Sex?
Guy Brandon, June 2008
Price: FREE
Who are we to tell others what they should feel, or how they should act on those feelings? What consenting adults do in private is none of anyone else’s business. As Woody Allen observed when he married his former girlfriend’s adopted daughter, ‘the heart wants what the heart wants.’

Christian Social Engagement
Michael Schluter, June 2008
Price: FREE
Especially since the 1960s, there has been a new and urgent search to find a biblical framework for Christian social engagement. In South America and South Africa, the major focus has been ‘liberation for the poor’ and the Exodus theme has provided an important source of inspiration. More recently, Ronald Sider and others in the US have been writing about the ways evangelicals can engage with public policy. Across much of continental Europe, the Christian Democratic parties, built on a philosophy with Christian roots called ‘Personalism’, continue to exercise a significant and sometimes dominant political influence. The problem is that each of these approaches is producing very different policy agendas. Which should we follow?
