So it is keenly disappointing to read Mailer's most recent novel, The Gospel According to the Son . The best that can be said of it is that it is well-researched -- Mailer is clearly familiar with the Gospels, the Apocrypha and the scholarship regarding them -- and that he chose...

For two thousand years, the brief ministry of a young Nazarene preacher has remained the largest single determinant of Western civilization's triumphs and disasters. Now, Norman Mailer has written a novel about Jesus's life. Is God speaking to me? Jesus asks. Or am I hearing voices? If the voices are from God, why has He chosen me as His son? And if they are not from God, then who gave me the power to perform these miracles? It soon becomes evident that we are being told the story of a skilled and most devout...

Following The New Testament closely, Norman Mailer recreates the life of Jesus and the Holy Land of 2,000 years ago. Jesus, a skilled and devout carpenter asks himself: Is God speaking to me? Do the voices I hear come from God? And if so, why has he chosen me? Meanwhile, the public world into which Jesus is thrust by his visions is governed by a complacent but fearful establishment that rules over a despairing middle class. As his sermons and miracles rock that world, the son of God emerges as a...

April 25, 2007: The editorial reviews really have it wrong about this book. Why complain that it doesn't go into depth about the song lyrics when Steve Turner already wrote A Hard Day's Write, considering every single Beatles song? What some reviewers see as the weakness is, to me, the strength of this book, and a key to its uniqueness in the pantheon of Beatleania. Turner considers the press releases and reviews of the time, not merely the word of mouth and usually wrong...

New - Mark Pinsky takes a look at the various and often pointed ways that the TV show THE SIMPSONS deals with religion and morality. This popular animated series, noted more for its sarcasm than its piety, is able to touch on religious pluralism and moral issues without being heavy-handed, according to Pinsky, and he provides new perspectives on favorite episodes.

The Gospel According to Coco Chanel is a captivating, offbeat look at style, celebrity, and self-invention—all held together with Karbo’s droll Chanel-style commentary and culled from an examination of Chanel’s difficult childhood and triumphant adulthood, passionate love affairs, career choices, habits, eccentricities, and personal philosophies. Weaving Chanel’s life story into chapter themes that subtly convey life lessons, and with Chesley McLaren’s charming illustrations, it will leave the reader...

Ever since the days of the apostles Paul and James, Christians have struggled to define the proper tension between faith and works. Salvation, Paul stresses is "not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). But James argues, "Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works" (2:18).

On Sunday, September 13th 2001, we gathered at Route 44 Studios to put together a tribute to Stu. The breeze was soft and warm, the sky crystal blue. Harry and Kim were mixing the tracks that Stu had laid down a few years before. Connie and Mary Ellen arrived and with Harry at the controls, the harmonies of 7th Heaven were unleashed. The crunch of rock and the squeal of wheels announced the arrival of Kathy Blank along with daughters, Emma and Audrey, and son, Louis. Emma and Audrey stepped up to...

Imagine an alien savant who wants to study Christianity and who is able to visit planet Earth at widely spaced intervals. His first visit occurs in A.D. 37 at a gathering of believers in Jerusalem where the ways in which this church differs from a Jewish sect are hard to discern. The Christians honor the seventh day, meet in the temple, read from the Hebrew Scriptures, and circumcise their sons. Only by unusual interpretations of parts of those Hebrew Scriptures, specifically by relating Jewish accounts...

The Gospel According to the Apostles
Used - John MacArthur's earlier book "The Gospel According to Jesus" made him a theological lightning rod for people who think they understand what the Bible teaches about faith and works.He could not have chosen a more sensitive topic that would draw more fire.Ever since the days of the apostles Paul and James, Christians have struggled to define the proper tension between faith and works. Salvation, Paul stresses is "not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2: 8-9). But James argues,
