Plato. Aquinas. Descartes. Kant. Freud. These great thinkers are still impacting the culture today—from public-policy decisions to world events, theology, the arts, education, and even everyday conversations. In this classic book, the late R. C. Sproul expertly surveys history's most influential streams of thought, proving that ideas are not just passing fads—they have consequences for generations to come. Helping readers better understand how many of these ideas have shaped their own thinking, this audiobook will empower Christians to be a Christlike influence in the world.

From the classroom to mainstream media, Christians regularly find their fundamental beliefs discounted by opponents who consider faith to be incompatible with reason. Faith is viewed as subjective, emotional, and a crutch for those who find the real world too hard. The late R. C. Sproul, however, claims faith reveals just how rational Christianity truly is. This audiobook surveys the history and fundamentals of apologetics to demonstrate how reason and scientific inquiry actually support Christianity's claims—thus equipping believers to defend the existence of God and the Bible's authority.

In a May 2024 Pew poll, more than two-thirds of Americans indicated they thought that in vitro fertilization (IVF) is good and should be accessible to anyone who wants it. Even among social conservatives—including the current U.S. administration—there is a push for wider accessibility for artificial procreation options. But is IVF truly the gift for infertile couples that it’s perceived to be?

Until now, the standard narrative of American religious history has begun with English settlers in Jamestown or Plymouth and remained predominantly Protestant and Atlantic. Driven by his strong sense of the historical and moral shortcomings of the usual story, Thomas A. Tweed offers a very different narrative in this ambitious new history.

No word in our language is more misunderstood than the word “heart.’ And almost no word is more important, for it refers to what is at the very center of our soul. We have mapped the outer world, in fact the whole universe, with amazing exactness . . . but we have neglected the world within. This new book by venerable Catholic thinker Peter Kreeft offers a map of that inner world, of the self. In it, he takes up the mantle of Dietrich von Hildebrand and plumbs the depths of that most misunderstood (by the world) and overlooked (by philosophers and theologians) part of the human being.

Islam will be the world’s largest religion by 2075. Why? Derek P. Gilbert, author of the groundbreaking books The Great Inception and Last Clash of the Titans, argues that Islam is too big and too successful to be the work of just one spirit. Tracing the pagan religions of the nations around ancient Israel, Gilbert makes the bold claim that the religion of Muhammad is actually a collaboration by the old gods of Mesopotamia, a desperate partnership of fallen angels who were caught off-guard by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In this early Christian apologetic work, Theophilus to Autolycus offers a reasoned and literary defense of the Christian faith to a skeptical pagan audience. Written in the late second century by Theophilus, bishop of Antioch, the treatise addresses his friend Autolycus, a cultured and intelligent critic of Christianity, who had dismissed the faith as irrational and unworthy of serious thought. In response, Theophilus draws on philosophy, historical records, and Scripture to articulate a compelling case for the truth of Christian doctrine. This short work unfolds in three books.

La auténtica herencia de Martín Lutero ya no se encuentra en las miles de congregaciones que se proclaman “protestantes”, sino en el corazón mismo de la Iglesia Católica. Ello es así porque Lutero no quería dividir a la Iglesia, sino reformarla. La Iglesia Católica ya fue reformada a partir del Concilio Vaticano II y por eso los luteranos hoy son católicos. Con fuerza argumentativa y una fe encarnada en la historia, el libro desmantela los mitos que rodean la Reforma, la corrupción doctrinal de muchas iglesias modernas -que se dicen luteranas pero solo hacen un gran negocio ...

Mariani tracks the fate of Chinese Catholicism in the wake of these transformative leadership changes, focusing on the influential Catholic community in Shanghai.
