What is man? Who am I? What gives me identity? Is there an answer? These fundamental questions have occupied the attention of poets, dramatists and novelists of the last fifteen years. Some of them have expressed bitter anger at the superficial values of a hypocritical society. Some have faced despair at life's apparent meaninglessness. The result has been a determined attack through literature on the Establishment, and the rise of such movements as the Theatre of the Absurd. Other writers have tried to find constructive solutions. They have suggested that man's individual identity lies in the work he does, the values he holds, the relationships he enters into. Ruth Etchells, lecturer in English at Durham University, examines these trends in contemporary English literature, quoting frequently from writers of both verse and prose. She shows that the Christian, too, finds the clue to his identity, understands a meaning in life as a while, through a relationship. But this is not an unstable experience, at the mercy of man's changing feelings and affections: it is the sure relationship between man and God.

SCHAEFFER, Francis A.

In his basically practical letter written to those scattered throughout the early Christian world, James shows how a genuine faith is a tested faith; how encounter with difficulties is an essential part of the growth to Christian maturity. He speaks too of the control of the tongue; of concern for the needy and helpless; of a life of daily purity.

What is human? (I.V.P. pocketbook)

Kitwood, T.M.

To enclaves of young converts tucked away in the mountains of Asia Minor, Paul wrote what is perhaps the oldest document in the New Testament--the letter to the Galatians. What problems were they facing? Among a variety of religious authorities espousing different teachings, how were they to know who was right? How were men and women to be put right with God? How could Christians in the midst of a pagan culture live lives truly pleasing to God? 'Only one way--' ansered Paul, 'through Jesus Christ.' His answer holds true for us as well. The details of our struggle have changed since Paul's day, but the principles he sets forth are as timeless as the Lord he exalts. In this book John Stott helpf us to understand and apply the message of Galatians in the face of contemporary challenges to our faith.

Modern Art And The Death Of A Culture

This disturbing but illuminating classic is a brilliant perspective on the cultural turmoil of the radical sixties and its impact on today's world, especially as reflected in the art of the time. Rookmaaker's enduring analysis looks at modern art in a broad historical, social, and philosophical context, laying bare the despair and nihilism that pervade our era. He also shows the role Christian artists can play in proclaiming truth through their work. Rookmaaker's brilliant articulation of faith and scholarship is insightful and inspiring. The book moves freely and with a sense of urgency between the worlds of high culture, popular art and music, and Christian faith. This reissue makes his foundational work available to a new generation. "A landmark book in the story of contemporary Christians in the arts." --Os Guinness, author of The American Hour
