In Solentiname, a remote archipelago in Lake Nicaragua, the people gathered each Sunday to reflect together on the Gospel reading. From recordings of their dialogue, this extraordinary document of faith in the midst of struggle was composed. First published in four volumes, The Gospel in Solentiname was immediately acclaimed as a classic of liberation theology—a radical reading of the good news of Jesus from the perspective of the poor and the oppressed. (It was also banned by the Somoza dictatorship.) Forty years later The Gospel in Solentiname retains its freshness and power. Though times may have changed, the message of Jesus—as heard by these peasants—continues to challenge the rulers of our age and to inspire the poor with the hope of a different world.
The Collected Works of Martin Luther
The Collected Works of Martin Luther presents a comprehensive compilation of the seminal writings that catalyzed the Reformation and marked a pivotal shift in Christian thought. This anthology encompasses Luther's theological treatises, sermons, and hymns, reflecting his profound engagement with scriptural texts and emphasis on personal faith. Characterized by his direct, unembellished prose, the works are steeped in the socio-political context of 16th-century Europe, revealing a fervent challenge to ecclesiastical authority and an earnest plea for the accessibility of scripture to all believers. Martin Luther (1483-1546) was not only a renowned theologian but also a passionate reformer whose life experiences deeply influenced his writings. Raised in an environment laden with spiritual and ethical dilemmas, he grappled with the church's practices, particularly the sale of indulgences. The pivotal moment of his 'Ninety-Five Theses' launched a movement towards religious reform, rooted in his beliefs in justification by faith and the priesthood of all believers, which resonate throughout his collected works. This collection is essential for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern Protestantism and the transformative theological ideas that emerged from Luther's pen. Scholars, theologians, and interested lay readers alike will find in this compilation not only the historical significance but also the spiritual depth that continues to inspire generations.

This book is about “the meaning of life” or “the spiritual quest”. It offers a selective and critical evaluation of some central strands of Western religious and philosophical thought over two and a half thousand years. It starts with Socrates' philosophy of life, and the Greek tradition of philosophy that he initiated. It gives its own “take” on the teaching of Jesus, and on the long and controversial history of Christianity. There is a chapter devoted to George Fox and the beginning of the Quaker movement, suggesting some surprising parallels between the undogmatic spirituality of the Quakers and the heavyweight philosophy of Immanuel Kant. It recommends a non-literal interpretation of language about God, with some reference to Austin Farrer on “poetic truth”. The book is intended for the intelligent general reader – it is accessible but not “dumbed down”, knowledgeable but not overburdened with detail, critically argumentative but not prejudiced.
