We live in a day of profound confusion. Because of our advanced technology and because of high literacy rates worldwide, we are all regularly deluged with more information than we can handle. Information about world events, philosophy, and religion from all sorts of perspectives is available to us and our children. The world is talking to itself as perhaps it never has before, and we are compelled to listen.Given this situation, we may be tempted to shut our students' ears. "Don't listen to what they're saying," we sometimes feel we should say. "It will poison your minds." Certainly, such an approach is easy. But it is doomed to failure. The chatter of competing worldviews cannot be ignored because it cannot be escaped. What the ungodly think about our world saturated our culture. If we tell the young people under our charge simply to ignore other worldviews, we will send them into life unprepared and vulnerable. We must familiarize them with the leading non-Christian worldviews of our day.

Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, writes eloquently and persuasively about how one can live as a serious Christian in today's secular world. He talks in depth about the true meaning of faith, hope, and love--the love of God and the love of neighbor.'He also discusses at length the crucial importance of a lived faith, for the believer himself as well as being a witness for our age, and striving to bring faith in line with the present age that has veered off into rampant secularism and materialism. He passionately encourages the reader to practice a deep, abiding Christian faith that seeks to be at the service of humanity.'' As Joseph Ratzinger mentions in the preface, "the book presents in written form three sermons that the author preached in the Cathedral at Muenster to a congregation from the Catholic Student Chaplaincy, December 13-15, 1964." ''In other words, these are essays derived from sermons preached to college students toward the end of Vatican II. They are remarkable, among other reasons, for their insights into the ongoing Christian struggle to understand and realize in action "what it means to be a Christian".'' Contents'' First Sermon: "Are We Saved? Or, Job Talks with God" ' Christianity as Advent ' The Unfulfilled Promise ' Are We Saved? ' The Hidden God ' ' Second Sermon: "Faith as Service" ' The Salvation of Christians and the Salvation of the World ' God Becomes Man, Man Becomes Christlike ' The Meaning of Salvation History ' ' Third Sermon: "Above All: Love" ' Love is Enough ' Why Do We Need Faith? ' The Law of Superabundance ' Faith, Hope, and Love ' '"In our generation the Christian Faith finds itself in a much deeper crisis than at any other time in the past. In this situation it is no solution to shut our eyes in fear in the face of pressing problems, or to simply pass over them. If faith is to survive this age, then it must be lived, and above all, lived in this age. And this is possible only if a manifestation of faith is shown to have value for our present day, by growing to knowledge and fulfillment."

Pastor and author John Piper gathers many of Jesus’ demands, outlined in the gospels, and places them within a redemptive-historical context, teaching all of us to know and love Him better.
In what are billed as culture wars, people on the political right and the political left cite Jesus as endorsing their views. Garry Wills argues that Jesus subscribed to no political program. He was far more radical than that. In a fresh reading of the Gospels, Wills explores the meaning of the reign of heaven Jesus not only promised for the future but brought with him into this life. This is a book that will challenge the assumptions of almost everyone who brings religion into politics-Christian socialists as well as biblical theocrats.
