Reviews I've Written

  • There Is a God: How the World's Most Notorious ...
    Antony Flew
     

    At first, it looked kind of light, but when I started reading I realized that this book has some very heavy philosophical arguments for the existence of God. Antony Flew is not a Christian, even if he's a theist, but that seems to be the exact strength of his argument. It's reasonable, based on contemporary philosophy and science rather than revelation. Still, N.T. Wright adds a few words in the end just to make the case for Christianity as the most plausible religion. This book stimulated my... (show more)

Still, N.T. Wright adds a few words in the end just to make the case for Christianity as the most plausible religion. This book stimulated my ambition to study philosophy on an academic level. (Apparently, there are lots of theists in the field these days.) (show less)

     
  • Den Vanskelige Balansen
    Clifford Goldstein
     

    God introduktion til et emne, der let bliver trættende at beskæftige sig med. Goldstein stiller ved bogens begyndelse i udsigt, at han vil se lidt på de ubalancerede syn på helligdomstjenesten, men han beskriver kun disse alternativer flygtigt, og slutningen på bogen kommer særdeles uventet. Hvordan helligdomstjenesten helt præcis er med til at balancere den kristnes forhold til tro og gerninger er mig stadig en gåde, da Clifford gik bort fra at tale om helligdomstjenesten for at snakke om he...

    God introduktion til et emne, der let bliver trættende at beskæftige sig med. Goldstein stiller ved bogens begyndelse i udsigt, at han vil se lidt på de ubalancerede syn på helligdomstjenesten, men han beskriver kun disse alternativer flygtigt, og slutningen på bogen kommer særdeles uventet. Hvordan helligdomstjenesten helt præcis er med til at balancere den kristnes forhold til tro og gerninger er mig stadig en gåde, da Clifford gik bort fra at tale om helligdomstjenesten for at snakke om helliggørelsen. Skønt mange gode referencer og logiske argumenter til fordel for mainstream adventistteologi, så skabte Clifford falske forventninger i bogens indledning og gav i stedet en temmelig ordinær og Ellen White-lydig fremstilling af emnet. Bogens store plus er, at den er letforståelig og ikke forudsætter en masse viden hos læseren - den kan således læses af både gamle og nye adventister og andre kristne. (show less)

     
  • The Homiletical Plot: The Sermon As Narrative A...
    Eugene L. Lowry
     

    Short, but concise book on preaching as a narrative art form. Lots of great advice on "what *not* to do", but it's not exactly a "how to" that would easily benefit new lay-preachers. I would recommend this book to people who have already tried preaching and put some thought into the subject in advance.
