Where possible, urls to the full sermons referenced are provided in the text (as of 2021)...

Ahead of the pivotal 2020 elections, momentum is building across America to revisit the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that struck down laws protecting unborn children and their mothers nationwide.

We're made to look passive, dissociated, and defeated. If we're not pot-bellied beer drinkers or egoistic morons, no one wants to watch the broadcast. What happened to John Wayne, Matt Dillon, and G.I. Joe? Men who knew their strengths, understood their roles, believed in hard-nosed Christian values. Well, they're not dead; in fact, they're alive and well buried inside each one of us, waiting to emerge like the heroes they are. All they need is a reminder of what our God-given nature is. It's time for us to go back to the very beginning and dissect exactly who we are as men.

When the pews grow empty and the sermons ring hollow, where does faith go?

In Finding God Beyond the Church, Harry Birkenhead—an Episcopal priest for over 35 years—shares a candid and inspiring journey through the beauty, struggles, and ultimate shortcomings of institutional religion. With warmth, wisdom, and unflinching honesty, he invites readers to step beyond creeds and walls to discover a living, breathing relationship with the Divine. ...

THE LAMBS WORKBOOK shows the reader that being sexually abused as a child (or at least an adolescent) was experienced by at least one of the Old Testament patriarchs. It also shows that Jesus Christ himself has shared in suffering unjustly at the hands of false religious leaders. The book offers one lesson per week, with wonderful explanatory devotions to read for each day between the lessons. This format is an amazing tool and is, in my opinion, Jeri Massi's finest work in her outreach to victims of clergy abuse. The workbook offers valuable lessons and simple instruction for those who ...

Religionen werden maßgeblich durch ihre Medien geprägt – z. B. Judentum, Christentum und Islam von ihren jeweiligen Alphabeten und dem darauf basierenden Denken. Digitalisierung bedeutet daher auch, dass Kirchen und Religionen immer weniger als unabhängige Akteure erscheinen, sondern als Varianten von "Religion" insgesamt wahrgenommen werden. Gegen den Trend zur globalen Vereinheitlichung stemmen sich religiöse Fundamentalisten, die seriöse Wissenschaften, freiheitliche Gesellschaften und andere Religionen bekämpfen.

An eye-opening and hard-hitting work, When Religion is an Addiction not only puts the political activities of the right-wing in a new perspective, but explains how liberal responses have often enabled religious addiction to thrive. Dr. Minor applies contemporary understandings of addictions to the extreme Christian right-wing in the United States and concludes that for them religion is functioning as a process addiction. Crucial to the addictiveness of such religion is its obsession with human depravity, the ultimate expression of low self-worth.

From Graeme Wood comes the definitive book on the history, psychology, character and aims of the Islamic State. Based on Wood's unprecedented access to supporters, recruiters and high-ranking members of the most infamous jihadist group in the world, The Way of the Strangers is a riveting, fast-paced deep dive into the apocalyptic dogma that informs the group's worldview, from the ideas that motivate it to the 'fatwa factory' that produces its laws to its very specific plans for the future.

Christian Fundamentalism is a doctrine and a discourse in tension. Fundamentalists describe themselves as both marginal and a majority. They announce the imminent end of the world, while building massive megachurches and political lobbying organizations. They speak of the need for purity and separation from the outside world, while continually innovating in their search for more effective and persuasive ways to communicate with and convert outsiders.

The modern Christian Church is in a state of serious decline. But this was prophesied all through the New Testament. The World Christian Encyclopedia estimates there are over 40,000 denominations worldwide. Even if the truth were only 10% of that number, this would be a ludicrous situation. Many of these denominations are relatively small and localized, but others are large and widely recognized. And that number does not include quasi-Christian movements like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. But the reason there are so many denominations is because there are that many belief systems. ...
