Way Of The Modern World
$33.99This telling critique of the modern world not only exposes the foundational worldview of contemporary secular society and the ideas that undergird modern culture; it also shows how, for Christians, one of the most insidious temptations fostered by these ideas is the enticement toward practical atheism. Craig Gay describes the powerful ideas that have built today’s modern complex, exposes the deeper assumptions that lie beneath modern values like “freedom” and “progress,” and shows how these ideas can easily lead us to live as though God does not matter. He also points out the link between modern secularity and the impersonal quality of contemporary social life, suggesting that the classical trinitarian defense of personhood can best resolve the stubborn problems of life today. Arguing for the eviction of certain destructive modern ideas from our churches, Gay’s work demonstrates a biblically sound way to live in but not of the world.

Salt And Light
$12.00In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus puts aside his usual parables and speaks plainly in language anyone can understand.
Like Francis of Assisi and others, Arnold chose to live out Jesus teachings by embracing their self- sacrificing demands. In this collection of talks and essays, he calls us to live for the Sermon s ultimate goal: the overturning of the prevailing order of injustice. In its place, Arnold writes, we must build up a just, peaceable society motivated by love.”

Christian Social Witness And Teaching 2
$50.00The second volume of Rodger Charles’ two volume presentation of the Catholic Tradidition from Genesis to Centesimus Annus addresses the Modern Social Teaching of the Church from the reign of Pope Leo XIII. The encyclical Rerun Novarum(1891) was a response to the problems of liberal capitalism and the industrial revolution in the Western world. Leo’s successors were largely concerned with the ongoing problems of that programme, though Pius XI (1922-39) and more markedly Pius XII (1939-58) were also concerned with international problems. The years following the end of the Second World War demanded even more attention to these. Meanwhile many Western intellectuals doubted the viability of capitalism and some liberation theologians from the 1970s used Marxist social analysis as an integral part of their search for justice. As it happened, the 1980s brought about the collapse of real socialism and the resurgence of liberal capitalism. From the time of John XXIII (1953-63), the pastors of the Church have been responding to these new needs and with the advent of John Paul II, the controversies over liberation theology and the collapse of socialism, the pace of that response has quickened. Rodger Charles, Lecturer and Tutor in Moral and Pastoral Theology at Campion Hall, Oxford, has spent over thirty years researching, lecturing and writing in London, Oxford and San Francisco on the social teaching of the Church and its application. His book provides a masterly and an unrivalled introduction to this topic.
