We live in a time of conflict and change in the church. I write with both conviction …
Kita sedang hidup dalam suatu zaman di mana anda dapat mempercayai apa saja, selama anda tidak mengklaimnya sebagai kebenaran. Dengan mengatasnamakan "toleransi," budaya postmodern kita merangkul segala sesuatu dari mistisisme Timur sampai spiritualitas New Age. Tetapi sebagaimana dipaparkan oleh Ravi Zacharias, menerima segala hal rohani secara mentah-mentah sungguh tidak masuk akal. Jelaslah …

Yet the title is one that Marcus …

Political leaders face two key challenges when they decide to use mili-tary force: winning the war itself, and winning support at home. In the past two decades, the United States has pursued a technological solution to these problems by developing combat drones—weapons that can both selectively target opponents and minimize the costs and risks of combat. In this book, …

Global warming is ushering us into a new mosquito epoch. Ready or not, mos-quitoes are coming faster than before, both indigenous and non-, human-biting and not, disease-carrying and sometimes–disease-carrying.

The glorious city of God is my theme in this work, which you, my dearest son Marcellinus, suggested, and which is due to you by my promise. I have undertaken its defence against those who prefer their own gods to the Founder of this city,—a city surpassingly glorious, whether we view it as it still lives by faith in this fleeting course of time, and sojourns as a stranger in the midst of the…
