The Gagging of God
by DA Carson Grand Rapids, Zondervan 1996
For those of you who are not weak of heart and have a little bit
of time on your hands, this 640 page book by research professor
at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. This book offers an
incredible critique of the view called pluralism based upon the
view called relativism. Dr Carson argues quite effectively that
Jesus Christ is the only that one can come to a saving knowledge
of God. This view is called exclusivism and is vital for
evangelical Christianity.

Love God With All Your Mind
by JP Moreland Grand Rapids Baker 1997
JP Moreland is a professor of Philosophy at Talbot Seminary. He
looks at the historical, theological, and philosophical evidence
as to why Christians need to think concerning their faith.
Unfortunately, we live in what might be called a profound
anti-intellectual period of western civilization. Although we
have passion in our hearts we fail to have intelligence in our
minds. Moreland provides the clarion call to cognitive thinking
with the mind that should result in total commitment with the
heart.

The Closing of the American
Mind
by Alan Bloom 1987 New York, Simon and Schuster
This is an insightful book that deals with the soul of the
American universities today. Bloom was a premier political
science professor at the University of Chicago as well as other
Ivy League schools. He covers a variety of topics but a large
portion of the book deals with the liberal agenda and it’s
desire for political correctness. Although this book is a number
of years old it sets the foundation for what has happened for
our educational system. |
