Books on Christian faith, history and spirituality. Reza Aslan's Zealot looks at the historical Jesus: a Jewish preacher in first-century Palestine under Roman occupation, set against the many would-be messiahs of his time.

Christian Theology

Christian theology asks what Christians believe about God, Christ and the world, and why. Richard Rohr's The Universal Christ proposes a broad and hopeful theology: that "Christ" names God's presence in all of creation from the beginning, not only the historical Jesus, and that this changes how believers see nature, other people and other faiths. An accessible book that invites reflection and discussion. More theology will join this category; see Christianity for more.

Christian History

The history of Christianity begins with a Jewish preacher in a land ruled by Rome. Reza Aslan's Zealot reconstructs that world: first-century Palestine, full of rebels, prophets and messianic movements, and the Jesus who emerges when the Gospels are read against it. Aslan's portrait of Jesus as a revolutionary figure became a bestseller and sparked wide debate among scholars and believers alike. A readable entry point into the historical study of Jesus.

Christian Practice & Spirituality

Christian spirituality is about living faith through prayer, contemplation and action. Richard Rohr, a Franciscan priest and founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, offers in The Universal Christ a vision of Christ as present in all of creation, inviting readers to see God in everyone and everything, and to practise faith with openness rather than fear. Warm and accessible, it has found readers well beyond any one church. More books will join this category; see Christianity and Religion & Spirituality.
