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.
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
