Books like Ewiges Leben? by Hans Küng

C.S. Lewis’ radio talks, later published as three books, are compiled in "Mere Christianity," a clear apologia that explores core Christian beliefs and ethics across denominations.

Karen Armstrong traces humanity’s lifelong quest to answer profound questions through the evolving concept of God, focusing on Western monotheistic traditions, especially Christianity.

The author presents an easily understood study of what eternal life means from a Catholic/Christian view. Drawing heavily from the Christian tradition, he identifies sections of Holy Scripture that are relevant to eschatology, which is the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and humankind. He is able to connect Scriptural representations of the afterlife with the ramifications of eternal life in our present everyday life.--

"The Reformation and the Counter-Reformation it provoked are one of the great discontinuities in European and world history. The dramatic changes that began when Martin Luther proclaimed his ninety-five theses in Wittenberg in 1517 were of a different order to anything that had gone before. In the following two hundred years, the Christian world broke apart and the nature not just of religion but also of politics, thought, society and culture all changed utterly. The course of history down to our own time has been decisively shaped by this revolution." "Diarmaid MacCulloch describes the changing late medieval world into which Luther, Calvin and the other reformers erupted. He proposes an original understanding of the often confusing origins of the exceptionally violent disagreements that divided men and women of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries - disagreements for which they were prepared to kill and be killed. He examines the personalities of the leading Reformers and their opponents and the mix of ideas, prejudices and accidents that shaped the various versions of Protestantism and Catholicism."--BOOK JACKET.
