Letters from a Master Painter on Faith, Hope, and Art
by Bruce Herman
Foreword by Malcolm GuiteAn Artist's Look at Theology, Art, and Philosophy
Dear Tom,
Thanks for writing again—and for this unusually philosophical response to my letter! In response: my theology of art is my theology. Period.

paperbackPocket Dictionary of Ethics
Over 300 Terms Ideas Clearly Concisely Defined
The IVP Pocket Reference Series
by Stanley J. Grenz and Jay T. Smith
Ethics is as old as the city-state and as new as cyberspace. Guided by the wagon tracks of moral tradition, it nevertheless rides the cutting edge of science and technology. Increasingly it is moving into the corner offices of law, business, medicine, science and technology.

paperbackShaping a Digital World
Faith, Culture and Computer Technology
by Derek C. Schuurman
Digital technology has become a ubiquitous feature of modern life. Our increasingly fast-paced world seems more and more remote from the world narrated in Scripture.

Fortunately, the Bible tells us a different story. Over and over again, we are reminded that God is both great and good, and that we are cared for and fully known by him. So God welcomes ...

paperbackReligions on Trial
A Lawyer Examines Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and More
by W. Mark Lanier
People today encounter a dizzying array of religious options. We might consider mystical faiths like Buddhism and Hinduism, historical religions like Islam and Mormonism, or more nebulous modern expressions of being spiritual but not religious or religious but not spiritual. How do we know what is true? Is one faith just as good as another?
Trial lawyer Mark Lanier presents ...
