Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion (The Gospel Coalition)
“Compelling reading, not only because of its intellectual rigor but also because of its honest, empathetic humanity.” ―John C. Lennox
Named the 2020 Beautiful Orthodoxy Book of the Year byChristianity Today
Christianity is the most widespread global belief system, and promises to remain so well into the future. But for many educated westerners, biblical Christianity is a dangerous idea―challenging some of their deepest beliefs.
Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, McLaughlin argues, and the reality of suffering, the complexity of sexuality, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world, but our modern world’s best hope.

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, and The Natural History of Religion (Oxford World’s Classics)
David Hume is the greatest and also one of the most provocative philosophers to have written in the English language. No philosopher is more important for his careful, critical, and deeply perceptive examination of the grounds for belief in divine powers and for his sceptical accounts of the causes and consequences of religious belief, expressed most powerfully in the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion and The Natural History of Religion.The Dialogues ask if belief in God can be inferred from the nature of the universe or whether it is even consistent with what we know about the universe. The Natural History of Religion investigates the origins of belief, and follows its development from harmless polytheism to dogmatic monotheism. Together they constitute the most formidable attack upon the rationality of religious belief ever mounted by a philosopher.
This edition also includes Section XI of The Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding and a letter concerning the Dialogues, as well as particularly helpful critical apparatus and abstracts of the main texts, enabling the reader to locate or relocate key topics.
ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World’s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford’s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.Read more

Religion in the Contemporary World: A Sociological Introduction, 3rd Edition
In the new edition of this widely praised text, Alan Aldridge examines the complex realities of religious belief, practice and institutions. Religion is a powerful and controversial force in the contemporary world, even in supposedly secular societies. Almost all societies seek to cultivate religions and faith communities as sources of social stability and engines of social progress. They also try to combat real and imagined abuses and excess, regulating cults that brainwash vulnerable people, containing fundamentalism that threatens democracy and the progress of science, and identifying terrorists who threaten atrocities in the name of religion.
The third edition has been carefully revised to make sure it is fully up to date with recent developments and debates. Major themes in the revised edition include the recently erupted ‘culture war’ between progressive secularists and conservative believers, the diverse manifestations of ‘fundamentalism’ and their impact on the wider society, new individual forms of religious expression in opposition to traditional structures of authority, and the backlash against ‘multiculturalism’ with its controversial implications for the social integration of ethnic and religious minority communities.
Impressive in its scholarly analysis of a vibrant and challenging aspect of human societies, the third edition will appeal strongly to students taking courses in the sociology of religion and religious studies, as well as to everyone interested in the place of religion in the contemporary world.

Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness
Explore the Science Behind Human Consciousness and Make It Work for You
In this extraordinary book, Dr. Valerie Hunt pulls the curtain back on a vast array of human experiences that have lingered just beyond the scope of traditional scientific inquiry.
She explores questions that have mystified humans for centuries: Why do we experience déjà vu? Have you ever wondered about a friend or loved one, only to hear from them shortly after? Why do we sometimes have intuitions about a historic place or a sacred building? What lies behind our strong responses to art and music? What can we learn from our dreams? Why do we sometimes sense things that we cannot see or feel but that seem real?
With 25 years of acclaimed scientific research to her credit, Hunt takes the reader on a journey of self-inquiry and discovery into why humans have mystical experiences and how the sensory, cognitive, motor, and emotional stimuli they elicit ties us all to a deep, hidden reality.
As a tenured faculty member at a major university in the 1970s, when few women held such roles, Hunt knew she was taking a risk when she first began her inquiry. From this work, she created a comprehensive model of human energy fields to reveal the science behind the vibrations of human consciousness. This was pivotal to understanding how vibrational patterns shift through pain, disease, and illness, as well as emotional and spiritual states.
In Infinite Mind Hunt, who holds advanced degrees in psychology and physiological science from Columbia University, provides scientific evidence of individualized field signatures and subtle energetic happenings between people and within groups. She demonstrates how electromagnetic radiation fields can change during human interaction, depending on environmental conditions, and how to harness them to improve health, live a more enriched life, and seek greater spiritual enlightenment.

“A fascinating insight into the living legacy of Islam in Europe” – Levison Wood
“A richly detailed travelogue by a humane and compassionate pilgrim” – Tim Mackintosh-Smith
“A fascinating book” – Sunday Express
A magical, eye-opening account of a journey into a Europe that rarely makes the news and is in danger of being erased altogether. Another Europe. A Europe few people believe exists and many wish didn’t. Muslim Europe.
Writer Tharik Hussain sets off with his wife and young daughters around the Western Balkans, home to the largest indigenous Muslim population in Europe, to explore a region where Islam has shaped places and people for more than half a millennium.
Encountering blonde-haired, blue-eyed Muslims, visiting mystical Islamic lodges clinging to the side of mountains, and praying in mosques older than the Sistine Chapel, he paints a picture of a hidden Muslim Europe, a vibrant place with a breathtaking history, spellbinding culture and unique identity.
Minarets in The Mountains the first English travel narrative by a Muslim writer on this subject, also explores the historical roots of European Islamophobia. Tharik and his family learn lessons about themselves and their own identity as Britons, Europeans, and Muslims. Following in the footsteps of renowned Ottoman traveller Evliya Celebi, they remind us that Europe is as Muslim as it is Christian, Jewish or pagan.
Like William Dalrymple’s In Xanadu, this is a vivid reimagining of a region’s cultural heritage, unveiling forgotten Muslim communities, empires and their rulers; and like Kapka Kassabova’s Border, it is a quest that forces us to consider what makes up our own identities, and more importantly, who decides?

The Perennial Philosophy (P.S.)
An inspired gathering of religious writings that reveals the “divine reality” common to all faiths, collected by Aldous Huxley
“The Perennial Philosophy,” Aldous Huxley writes, “may be found among the traditional lore of peoples in every region of the world, and in its fully developed forms it has a place in every one of the higher religions.”
With great wit and stunning intellect–drawing on a diverse array of faiths, including Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christian mysticism, and Islam–Huxley examines the spiritual beliefs of various religious traditions and explains how they are united by a common human yearning to experience the divine. The Perennial Philosophy includes selections from Meister Eckhart, Rumi, and Lao Tzu, as well as the Bhagavad Gita, Tibetan Book of the Dead, Diamond Sutra, and Upanishads, among many others.

The Gospel of Inclusion: A Christian Case for LGBT+ Inclusion in the Church
One of the most fiercely debated topics in modern Christianity centers on the inclusion of sexual and gender minorities into the full life of the church. Dozens of scholars have stepped forward, seeking to make a compelling case for LGBT+ inclusion based on their contextualized reading of the six traditional passages that refer to homosexuality in Scripture. But these arguments alone fall short of providing a comprehensive framework for radical inclusion of LGBT+ people. In The Gospel of Inclusion, pastor and public theologian Brandan Robertson offers a compelling assessment of the biblical texts, cultural context, and modern social movements to suggest that the entire thrust of the Christian gospel calls the church towards the deconstruction of all oppressive systems and structures and towards the creation of a world that celebrates the full spectrum of human diversity as a reflection of God’s creative intention.Read more
