Acerca de esta escucha
A solid grounding in the history of the Reformation and its leading ideas, and the inclusion of "Questions for Discussion" and "Suggestions for Further Reading" make this book excellent for study groups, or as a refresher "course" for students - and even as a good starting point for those interested in the larger discipline of church history.

Why You Think the Way You Do traces the development of the worldviews that underpin the Western world. Professor and historian Glenn S. Sunshine demonstrates the decisive impact that the growth of Christianity had in transforming the outlook of pagan Roman culture into one that—based on biblical concepts of humanity and its relationship with God—established virtually all the positive aspects of Western civilization.

Thomas Aquinas was one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Christianity and in Western Civilization. Yet his theological views can seem complex and presume acquaintance with technical philosophical language. Now Renick has produced an attractive and accessible account of Aquinas's thought and life that will make his views clear to non-specialists.

In Slaying Leviathan, historian Glenn S. Sunshine surveys some of the stories and key elements of Christian political thought from Augustine to the Declaration of Independence. Specifically, the audiobook introduces theories of limited government that were synthesized into a coherent political philosophy by John Locke. Locke, of course, influenced the American founders and was, like us, fighting against the spirit of Leviathan in his day. But his is only one of the many stories in this audiobook.

In 1956, toward the end of Reverend John Ames's life, he begins a letter to his young son, an account of himself and his forebears. Ames is the son of an Iowan preacher and the grandson of a minister who, as a young man in Maine, saw a vision of Christ bound in chains and came west to Kansas to fight for abolition: He "preached men into the Civil War", then, at age 50, became a chaplain in the Union Army, losing his right eye in battle.

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

"You are your own, and you belong to yourself." This is the fundamental assumption of modern life. And if we are our own, then it's up to us to forge our own identities and to make our lives significant. But while that may sound empowering, it turns out to be a crushing responsibility - one that never actually delivers on its promise of a free and fulfilled life, but instead leaves us burned out, depressed, anxious, and alone. This phenomenon is mapped out onto the very structures of our society, and helps explain our society's underlying disorder.

Forgiving anyone in a meaningful way is one of the hardest things a person has to do. If you do not, resentment and vengeance begin to consume you. It is nearly impossible to move past transgression without forgiveness, but few people have the resources and the tools to forgive others fully and move on with their lives.

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Author A. J. Sherrill still remembers the moment when his life was forever changed by a word he didn't even understand at the time: Enneagram. A personality theory that includes nine different "types", the Enneagram has become a popular tool for self-awareness and improvement. But in this book, Sherrill goes deeper, exploring with Christians how the Enneagram can be a pathway to profound spiritual transformation.

How should Christians live their faith in the public arena? In an era when Christianity is being attacked from every side - books being written charging Christians with being theocrats and trying to impose their views on an unwilling culture - what is the message of the Christian church?

Appealing to scripture, reason, and history, this audiobook tackles society's most pressing and divisive issues.

Once in a generation, a historian will redefine his field, producing a book that demands to be read or heard - a product of electrifying scholarship conveyed with commanding skill. Diarmaid MacCulloch's Christianity is such a book. Breathtaking in ambition, it ranges back to the origins of the Hebrew Bible and covers the world, following the three main strands of the Christian faith.

Sunshine Shines Brightly!
Where does The Reformation for Armchair Theologians rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is one of the best books on the Reformation I've ever listened to/read. There are many good ones that go deeper into depth, but if you want a really great overall summary, this is the book I would recommend. I study the Reformation at a very deep level, but I was very surprised at how well written and correct the history is!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Reformation for Armchair Theologians?
Since this in non fiction, there's not a fictional character, but Luther was highlighted very well and, well all of them so it's hard to choose.
Have you listened to any of Kate Reading’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. This is the first one. Kate is an AMAZING narrator. She's got a beautiful, captivating voice and she's an intelligent narrator. I was impressed by her as there were names and places that are foreign to the English language and her pronunciation of these names and places were spot on. Her diction is clear and she keeps the energy lively and when there's an amusing moment, Kate nails it!!! As a narrator myself, I am really critical of other narrators because I do long form narration myself. She held my attention and I learned a lot from her. She's one of the finest female book narrators I've ever heard! Great job!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No, it was just simply....wonderful.
Any additional comments?
I hope Mr. Sunshine writes more books like this and uses Kate as his narrator. They make a fine duo!

A Fun, Quick jaunt through the Reformation!
I really liked this short book! It gives a nice, surface level survey of the history around and through the time of the Reformation, while also stopping to delve deeper into the theology.
The reader had a clear voice and great cadence. Felt like listening to an engaging lecture
