SPCK Alister McGrath Collection Update (2 vols.)
Overview
Anglican belief and practice allows that God communicates through his Word as well as through the beauty of his works. The trick, of course, is to keep the two sources of communication in balance. Nowhere is this balance better struck than in the writings of the atheist-turned-Anglican-clergyman Alister McGrath. McGrath takes Scripture very seriously as an unshakable source of truth for belief. In these two volumes, he examines the essentials of discipleship and spiritual living, challenging the reader to go beyond a superficial faith and toward Christian wisdom, grounded in historical Christian doctrine and creed.
McGrath recognizes that God also communicates through art and literature. Each of these books teaches us more about God and about how to live in light of what he has communicated. McGrath, through his own journey from atheism to faith, offers a thoroughgoing defense of God’s existence, again drawing not only evidence from Scripture but from the beauty of creation.
