Bøger om Kristne

Muhammad er Islams profet, han er central i en verdensreligion og i den debat, der præger vores samtid. Han er også verdenskultur: Muhammad (o. 570-632) har formet historien, men den har også formet ham. Ligesom Jesus har profeten en lang fortolkningshistorie, og de historiske udviklinger har gjort ham til den, han er i dag. Professor i islamiske studier Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen indleder sin bog med en fremstilling af, hvad der vides om den historiske Muhammad, centreret omkring de centrale begivenheder i hans liv og karriere, og derpå tages læseren med gennem en fortælling om Muhammad fra tiden efter hans død til i dag. I en række kronologiske og tematiske kapitler skriver Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen en nuanceret, levende og vidtfavnende historie frem om profeten og den måde, enhver tid har set sine idealer og ideer legemliggjort i Muhammad.

Troende eller ateist? Fronterne står stejlt over for hinanden, men er det nødvendigt? Nej, siger forfatteren til Tro og tvivl. Der er nemlig meget, der forener troende og ikke-troende, kristne og ateister. Bogen ser på nogle af de ting, der netop kan forene, og på den fælles verden, kristne og ateister kan tage udgangspunkt i. Tro og tvivl indeholder desuden tre længere interviews:Med en troende: sognepræst, ph.d. og forfatter Pia SøltoftMed en frafalden i troen: filosof og forfatter Peter TudvadMed en erklæret ateist: forfatteren Karl Ove Knausgård.

After receiving news that her closest brother has been shot and killed while fighting in the Civil War, Mary Cabot is distraught. Having lost the majority of her family, Mary is left feeling alone and helpless. She seeks solace in the church, her neighbors, and friends, but is unable to find the comfort she needs. Becoming more reserved and losing her faith, Mary is relieved when her widowed aunt, Winnifred, and young cousin from Kansas decide to visit her in Massachusetts. As the women strengthen their bond and share conversations on their trauma, Winniefred offers a new perspective, describing her understanding and vision of heaven. Despite its divergence from the traditional Christian idea of the afterlife, Mary begins to heal, unaware that more hardships are around the corner. First published over one-hundred and fifty years ago in 1868, The Gates Ajar established author Elizabeth Stuart Phelps' career, earning her fame and recognition for her emotional and reflective spiritualist novel. Inspired by her own experience of losing loved one to the Civil War, Phelps wrote The Gates Ajar to assuage the pain of death in ways the Christian church was not providing. Quickly rising to fame, The Gates Ajar sold thousands of copies and inspired a new vision of heaven that really resonated with its audience, leading to references in music, literature, and even floral arrangements. With sympathetic characters, a relatable plot, and gorgeous imagery, The Gates Ajar remains to stimulate modern readers and addresses timeless topics that remain approachable and relevant. This edition of The Gates Ajar by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps features an eye-catching new cover design and is presented in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to contemporary audiences, restoring The Gates Ajar to modern standards while preserving the original intelligence and impact of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps' work.

Though they are on the steps of the doors to hell, I believe that the unsaved don't want to know God. Everyone has a conscience, which gives an awareness of right and wrong. The Bible says that God has revealed Himself to each individual through their conscience. What more can God do to warn people?Many are aware of heaven and hell but somehow show no concern. The person who rejects God does not understand the real horrors of this Godless place. This may be because they don't believe hell exists or they are convinced it would be tolerably better than heaven and nothing can be further from the truth.At this point, they are not preferring hell over God; they are blind to both. They do not perceive the true glories of God, neither do they perceive the true horrors of hell. When they die, they will be shocked beyond words.What sinners want is not hell but sin. The fact that hell is the inevitable consequence of unforgiven sin does not make the consequence desirable. It is truly not what people want - certainly not what they "want most." Wanting sin is no more equal to wanting hell than wanting chocolate is equal to wanting obesity. However, consuming sin again and again with no regard for repentance will result to eternal damnation.Some want to believe that God would not send anyone to hell. It is a nice thought, but it is simply unbiblical. God certainly does send people to hell. In His justice, He does pass a sentence and executes it. Indeed, worse than that, God does not just send, He throws. Revelation 20:15 reads, "If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire" (ESV). Hell is real. It is a place where many are going but few fully recognize the horrendous fate that awaits them there. It is essential that this truth is not lost but understood and shared.
