On the Incarnation
AuthorAthanasius of Alexandria
ISBN0913836400

I was pleased to find On the Incarnation remarkably fresh and engaging, still fierce and still passionate too. Such is rarely the case with works of theology, particularly when orthodoxy has robbed them even of the novelty of heresy, for dry-as-dust disquisitions on settled questions often summon...
City of God
AuthorAugustine of Hippo
ISBN0140448942
This is a truly COLOSSAL book!

You know, there are two ways of getting answers in the world... there’s getting the world’s answers (and that’s sometimes doublethink) and there’s getting TRANSCENDENTAL answers!

Sub specie aeternitatis, transcendental answers are the...
Orthodoxy
AuthorG.K. Chesterton
This book is meant to be a companion to "Heretics," and to put the positive side in addition to the negative. Many critics complained of the book because it merely criticised current philosophies without offering any alternative philosophy. This book is an attempt to answer the challenge. It is the...

Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel
AuthorKate Bowler
ISBN0199827699
How have millions of American Christians come to measure spiritual progress in terms of their financial status and physical well-being? How has the movement variously called Word of Faith, Health and Wealth, Name It and Claim It, or simply prosperity gospel come to dominate much of our contemporary...
The Early Church
AuthorHenry Chadwick
This is the first volume of the penguin history of the church and not the beginning of a history of Christianity.

Implicit in this book is the idea that orthodoxy has always existed. This is a problem and a grave weakness. In the absence of a creed, a canon of agreed genuine holy books there is only...
For the Life of the World: Sacraments and Orthodoxy
AuthorAlexander Schmemann
ISBN0913836087
This is the best book on worldview I have ever read. Hands down. I come from a protestant background but most protestants argue for worldview in gnostic categories. Even the most creational of them merely reduce the Christian faith to the intellectual. This is the oldest heresy the church faced: gnosticism....
The Trinity
AuthorAugustine of Hippo
ISBN0911782966
Upon reading the first 8 books of Augustin’s ‘On The Trinity’ it’s hard to know what I have learned. In many ways I may ask ‘have I been left with more questions then answers? At times reading this work was frustrating and I found myself saying out loud “What on earth are you talking about you...

The Story of Christianity: Volume 2: The Reformation to the Present Day
AuthorJusto L. González
ISBN0060633166
Another excellent survey of Christian history from the Reformation up to the early 21st century. As in his previous volume, Gonzalez is attentive to those voices who have been unrepresented in the Christian narrative, especially women and the Third World. Gonzalez paints a more positive picture...
