The Qur’an claims that Allah and the God of the Bible is one and the same. It can be politically convenient to hold this view and may appear to promote tolerance. Yet, for true tolerance and effective dialogue, a deeper understanding of one another’s religious claims is imperative. In this book Solomon and Debs draw on Qur’anic scholarship to present a compelling case against this doctrine of 'sameness'. The characteristics of the God of the Bible are far removed from the Allah presented in the Qur’an. The Lord God of the Bible looks for a loving relationship with humankind whom he created in his image; in full revelation of himself, God became man on earth and dwells by his Holy Spirit in the hearts of all who ask him.

Samuel Burgess examines the Christian foundations of the thinking of Edmund Burke, widely regarded as the philosophical father of conservatism. Burke's critique of the secular humanist ideologies that inspired the French Revolution are more than ever relevant today, since these ideologies now dominate public policy, undermining the organic structures of society.

In this book, Christian thinkers in the fields of philosophy, sociology, theology, literature and medicine explain the background to this ‘new normal’ and why it damages both the individuals concerned and the wider society.

How should we think about Christian apologetics in a society where people are encouraged to discover, determine, and live their own truth? In this short book, Joe Boot explains that Christ-centred gospel witness is about getting to the heart of a person, for the root of unbelief is a heart condition, not a lack of evidence or convincing arguments. Sin has a profound impact on the heart and human understanding. Dr Boot considers some of the prevailing worldviews in the West today, demonstrating that their foundational problem is a refusal to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King. As we think about and engage in witnessing to the gospel of the Kingdom, the heart and its attachment to cherished lies must be taken into account.

At many times in the two World Wars the nation was saved from disaster in circumstances that defied probabilities. There were sudden changes in the weather, inexplicable mistakes in strategy and tactics by the enemy and other extraordinary events. Beyond the Odds explores turning points in the World Wars, with in-depth accounts of diplomacy and wartime operations. Leaders and commanders in the Second World War, such as Churchill and his Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Alan Brooke, saw the outworking of providence in that war. Recording the beliefs of commanders and National Days of Prayer, the book provides fresh perspectives on momentous occurrences, as seen by those who experienced them.\nThree chapters focus on the First World War – 1914 and 1918 – when the Allies were perilously close to defeat, and the 1917 campaign in Palestine. The five chapters on the Second World War include the fall of France, the Dunkirk evacuation and the Battle of Britain in 1940, as well as the war in North Africa, Italy, Russia and the Pacific in 1941-1943, and D-Day in 1944. Further chapters encompass the siege of Malta in the Second World War and the Falklands conflict of 1982, and there is a revealing discussion of Churchill’s Christianity.\nThe book includes surprising accounts from contemporary sources. These include the evacuation of Channel ports by the French in 1914 – the Germans failed to see that they could take these (as they then did in 1940); the experiences of the soldiers who captured Jerusalem in 1917; British diplomacy in 1938 and 1939, with a remarkable admission by Chamberlain to Hitler about the opening of the First World War; and incidents in the Dunkirk evacuation, including one recounted to the writer by his father.\nThe authors do not shrink from the calamities of war and describe failures as well as successes, but the resilience of the wartime generations shines through. The book is strong on accessible narrative history.\nExtracts from commendations 
This terrific book … describing events in a compelling narrative … I am therefore delighted to commend this account which faithfully documents the wartime providence of God, in a previously unseen level of detail and historical credibility. 
MAJOR GENERAL (RETD) TIM CROSS, CBE\nIf you like history, you will really like this book. Well researched, clear and engaging, this account of conflict from a UK perspective, from WW1 to the Falklands, is enlightening and compelling. 
MAJOR GENERAL (RETD) CHRIS MCPADDEN, FORMER DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, US ARMY\nRich in the way the military overcome acute personal danger or the burden of high command. There is something here to make every reader stop and think. 
LIEUTENANT GENERAL (RETD) ROBIN BRIMS, CB, CBE, DSO\nA sweeping narrative spanning three wars and almost a century. The story of the leaders is an inspiring one, fully knit into the narrative of war, and full of wisdom for today. 
DR CARL E. ARMERDING, CAPTAIN (RETD)US NAVY, PROFESSOR EMERITUS, REGENT COLLEGE VANCOUVER\nThe degree of attention to allied and enemy perspectives is especially refreshing. And, beyond this, here is an account that without loss of scholarly objectivity opens up the question of the place of God in it all. 
PROFESSOR JOHN NOLLAND, PHD (CANTAB), TRINITY COLLEGE, BRISTOL\nAbout the authors 
John Scriven read history and law at Trinity College, Cambridge and served as a Captain in 6/7 Battalion (Territorial Army), The Queen’s Regiment.

We are living in an era where the cult of the expert enables the increasing encroachment of civil government into areas of cultural and societal life where it does not belong. This growing statism must be countered by a distinctly Christian response. But what should a Christian proposal for social order look like? In this book, Joe Boot critiques the world as it is today and provides the critical basis for a Christian response to the socio-political crisis of our time. Ruler of Kings is contextual and current, but its solutions are biblically rooted and therefore enduring.\nPortions of this book are excerpted from other works, also by Joe Boot, and published by Ezra Press and the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity:\n- For Government: Towards a Christian View of authority (2020) 
- For Politics: The Christian, the Church and the State (2021) 
- For the Kingdom of God: a Scriptural Response to a Utopian Social Vision (2021)\nUsing rigorous theological, philosophical and historical analysis, the author challenges traditional Western church leaders' assumptions and responses to Christian participation in cultural, socio-economic and political life. In its place, he sets out a clearly articulated and scripturally grounded political vision.
