Banyak distorsi terjadi pada konsep tentang "kasih" yang menyebabkan orang memiliki pandangan yang keliru tentang kasih Allah sebagai kasih yang lembek. D. A. Carson membukakan perspektif Alkitab bagaimana kasih Allah tidak bisa terlepas dari kedaulatan, keadilan, dan kekudusan-Nya, dan justru ini yang banyak ditolak oleh dunia.

It can no longer be assumed that most people—or even most Christians—have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don't know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper context with which to understand God's story…
Pontius Pilate's question has found its echo in today's society: What is truth? For many, it's a negotiable item. But God doesn't change, and his character and purposes aren't subject to social whims. Living the gospel in our contemporary culture demands that we understand and internalize the truth about God and his plan for the world. Paul's letter to the Romans remains one of the most impo…
In 1943, when all hope was threatened by the inhumanity of war, C.S. Lewis was invited to give a series of BBC lectures addressing the central issues of modern life.

In many ways C. S. Lewis predicted the future. "He foresaw the rise of trends we're currently experiencing: ethical emotivism, the sometimes unquestioned authority of science, and the increasing use of technology by states to control their populations." -The Gospel Coalition, Joseph A. Kohm Jr. The Abolition of Man discusses why we shouldn't always listen to only reason and cut out our emoti…
In The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer finds himself in Hell boarding a bus bound for Heaven. The amazing opportunity is that anyone who wants to stay in Heaven, can. This is a starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, grace and judgment. Lewis?s revolutionary idea is the discovery that the gates of Hell a…
Selected from sermons delivered by C. S. Lewis during World War II, these nine addresses show the beloved author and theologian bringing hope and courage in a time of great doubt.
