Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Turning Points is a pocket history of the world with a deliberately persuasive edge. Vaughan Roberts, young rector of a lively city-centre Anglican church in Oxford, sets out to narrate "history as God sees it"--and to show the connection between events described in the Bible and today's post-modern age. The turning points he refers to are: the creation, the fall of humanity from original innocence, events in Old Testament Israel, the coming of Jesus, his death, his resurrection, the giving of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the end of the world.

Roberts seeks to show how those events give ultimate meaning to human existence and are still relevant at the start of a new millennium. His declared aim is to help his readers to reach their own "turning point"-by starting (or continuing in greater depth) a friendship with Jesus Christ. Widely read, Roberts peppers his text with contemporary illustrations, humorous quotes and references from other writers. A summary diagram is provided at the end of each chapter, building up to a complete time-line of history according to the Bible.

Turning Points will find two sorts of readers: the academic type prepared to give Christianity some serious investigation and the Christian who feels they need a firmer foundation to their faith. Along the way, the book doesn't shrink from tackling difficult issues, like questions of truth and authority, other religions and the nature of heaven and hell. --Al Horn



Review

'Racy and profound, brilliant and biblical, this book is a powerful apologetic and magnet to Jesus Christ.' Michael Green, Adviser in Evangelism to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York

5.0 out of 5 stars A thought-provoking commentary on modern life., 6 April 1999
By A Customer
Vaughan Roberts looks at modern lifestyles, at their emptiness and lack of hope. He compares them with what the Bible has to say, and sees reason for hope, and a way out of despair and meaninglessness. His book is easy to read, with plenty of illustrations based on quotes by popular modern figures. I recommend it to anyone who has ever wondered whether there's any meaning to existence.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sharp, interesting, and engaging book, 18 Nov 2002
By Mr. P. Craig "dancingphil" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This is a good book for several reasons: it uses modern, engaging illustrations to get its points across; it uses some modern scholarship, but as part of the general, easy-to-read text; it challenges people to assess their own motives and lives- to suggest a meaning and purpose for life based on the testimony of the Bible.
Probably not as good for the person who's been investigating the Bible and Jesus' claims for a while, but an excellent introduction to what Christianity's about: it gives a clear Christian answer to the eternal problem- How to know God.

4.0 out of 5 stars A short history of everything, 14 Jan 2008
By L. Davidson (Belfast, N.Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I have read several of Vaughan Roberts' books on Christianity and I have found all of them to be enjoyable and interesting. The author writes in an informal style using anecdotes to good effect and I think that his books should appeal to committed Christians and to non Christians alike. "Turning Points" is like a sort of potted history of the Bible; an examination of "God's Big Picture" starting at the Creation and ending with the New Heaven and New Earth. This book has helped me to understand better the time line of the Bible from a "macro" perspective and I would recommend it to anyone interested in Bible study.
