Whether our notions of "God" are personal projections or inherited traditions, author and theologian Brad Jersak proposes a radical reassessment, arguing for a more Christlike God and a more beautiful Gospel. A More Christlike God suggests that such a God would be very good news indeed - a God who Jesus "unwrathed" from dead religion, a love that is always toward us, and a grace that pours into this suffering world through willing, human partners.

Story
David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament in the spirit of "etsi doctrina non daretur", "as if doctrine is not given". Reproducing the texts' often fragmentary formulations without augmentation or correction, he has produced a pitilessly literal translation, one that captures the texts' impenetrability and unfinished quality while awakening listeners to an uncanniness that often lies hidden beneath doctrinal layers.

Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance.

As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God’s power or God’s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God - if such exists - allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea, David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering.

Peter Hiett argues that Genesis chapter one is the history of time - all time. And his-story is the genesis of you. The deepest story is that God is making you in his image and will not fail. Jesus is his word, and even when we nail him to the tree - especially when we nail him to the tree - he does not fail. Even though we wrote ourselves out of the story; even though we cursed the word, crucified the plot and damned ourselves, even that is a story within the story - the father’s story: The History of Time and the Genesis of You.

What if the Bible actually keeps us from hearing the Word of God? For many Christians, the Bible is the only way to know anything about God. But according to that same Bible, everyone can know God directly through an actual relationship with Jesus. Jesus Unbound is an urgent call for the followers of Jesus to know Him intimately because the Gospel is not mere information about God, but a transformational experience with a Christ who is closer to us than our own heartbeat.

Letter to the Pharisees

Publisher's Summary
Grace is amazing. About this all Christians agree. Yet nearly all forms of Christianity put significant limits on grace. Those forms of Christianity that proclaim grace alone actually saves typically don’t believe God gives grace to everyone; while those forms of Christianity that proclaim God gives grace to everyone typically don’t believe grace alone actually saves. Must grace either be that which saves alone but doesn’t go to all or that which goes to all but doesn’t save alone?
In Grace Saves All, David Artman argues that grace saves alone and goes to all. This inclusive approach to Christianity is variously called universal reconciliation, universal salvation, or perhaps most accurately, Christian universalism. He contends that the inclusive/Christian universalist approach is necessary because it offers the only Christian theology which successfully defends the goodness of God. For it logically follows that if God is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful, then God must also be all-saving.
Often dismissed as a modern feel-good theology, Christian universalism is an ancient, orthodox, and biblical theology which was expounded by early Christians and early church fathers. Artman brings much deserved attention to this wonderful spirituality.

God's Goodness Expounded
I listened to this book over the last week. David Artman clearly articulates three views on salvation-transactional, exclusive and inclusive. And in so doing, he reverently shows how only one of those views magnifies the Goodness of our loving Heavenly Father. I appreciated him sharing his own journey to this understanding and found his journey similar to my own. It was encouraging to hear him share how the understanding of God's unfailing grace to save all is gaining wider acceptance and recently has come to have a place at the table in conservative evangelical circles. The recommended reading list in the book is excellent. Thank you, David for stepping out and writing this much needed understanding of God's never-ending pursuit of his fallen sons and daughters until we are all back home.
