Get
Serious: Who Ever Said
Christianity Was Nice?
The Church's Stand on Contemporary Culture
by Peter and Helen Evans
"They are topics that many times we avoid discussing:
war, abortion, genetic engineering, animal rights, welfare, and euthanasia.
However, we all think about these and frequently wonder what our stance
should be.
Now, you can Get Serious with authors Peter and Helen
Evans. In discussions with experts from different faiths, thoughtful people
will finally get the answers to the questions plaguing their hearts and
minds.
With intriguing questions and thought-provoking
answers, Peter, Helen, and their interviewees take readers through every
tough topic honestly seeking the truth and not trying to push a certain
opinion. Every discussion provides examples, thorough coverage, and insight
into the church's viewpoint, cutting away the niceties to get to the heart
of the issue.
Now is the time to Get Serious. After all, Who Ever
Said Christianity Was Nice?"

Living in God's
Creation
Orthodox
Perspectives On Ecology
by Elizabeth Theokritoff
Few realize
how ecological the vision of
Orthodox Christianity
really is. Yet it portrays
creation as an epiphany of God,
and the human person as a
workshop of unity, a
connecting link
uniting
creation and Creator. This lofty
ideal is to be achieved at a
very practical level: we are to
manifest our love for God, for
other people,
and for the world,
through "the right use of
material things." To communicate
this vision, Elizabeth Theokritoff draws on
ancient
sources - the Fathers, the
liturgy, and saints' lives -
on
modern commentators, and on
practical examples from our
lived experience. She presents
fresh wisdom and insight into
Orthodox tradition in a way that
is both accessible and relevant
to theologians
and
non-theologians. The thematic
arrangement makes it a
convenient resource for
teachers. It is compelling
reading, and demonstrates that
environmental concerns have deep
roots
in
Christian tradition.
Elizabeth Theokritoff is
an
independent scholar and
freelance
theological translator
from Greek. She holds a
doctorate
in theology from
Oxford.
