The Story of Christianity: An Illustrated History of 2000 Years of the Christian FaithThe Story of Christianity: An Illustrated History of 2000 Years of the Christian Faith by David Bentley Hart


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A happy mix between the church histories that overdo the lavish at the expense of the comprehensive, and those that overdo the comprehensive at the expense of your eyesight. David Bentley Hart appears to have read everyone, from all the Gnostics, through Nietzsche,...

The Story of Christianity by David Bentley Hart
" I wish I could give this six stars. This is far and away the best book I have ever read (and, I think, will ever read) on Christian history. The illustrations are great, the explanations insightful, and the flow and pace are perfect. Hart tells th... "

Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku
Enjoyable romp through the future, as being already developed in physics labs around the world. It lost a star in my review because the author, whenever he departs from his talks and interviews with technologists, reverts to Received Wisdom, the accu...more

C'est La Folie by Michael Wright
C'est La Folie
by Michael Wright
read in March, 2013
Amiable story of an eccentric Englishman who bought a run-down farmhouse in France in search of a more heroic life than that of being a professional critic. Happy, lazy, pleasant book.
Glenn Myers is on page 150 of 389 of Physics of the Future: The famous quote by William Gibson 'The future is already here. It is just unevenly distributed' is what makes this book so wothwhile. Michio Kaku has talked to people sampling the future and is smart enough to understand what they are saying. The result is a book many times better than the sum of newspaper articles about this or that new invention. Instead discoveries are put in their context.

There Is a God by Antony Flew
Enjoyable, brief ramble from the former to the probably final state of philosopher Antony Flew's thinking, particularly about God, and including how he changed his mind from atheism to Deism. It is bookended by a lengthy introduction and an appendix...more

“If we are seeking to serve the God of truth then we should really welcome truth from whatever source it comes. We shouldn’t fear the truth. Some of it will be from science, obviously, but by no means all of it. It will sometimes by perplexing, how this bit of truth relates to that bit of truth; we know that within science itself often enough and we find it outside of science as well. The crucial thing is to be honest."

William Carey
“When I left England, my hope of India's conversion was very strong; but amongst so many obstacles, it would die, unless upheld by God. Well, I have God, and His Word is true. Though the superstitions of the heathen were a thousand times stronger than they are, and the example of the Europeans a thousand times worse; though I were deserted by all and persecuted by all, yet my faith, fixed on the sure Word, would rise above all obstructions and overcome every trial. God's cause will triumph. (William Carey, quoted in Iain Murray, The Puritan Hope, Banner of Truth 1971, p 140.)”

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

David Bentley Hart
“Lest we forget, the birth of modern physics and cosmology was achieved by Galileo, Kepler and Newton breaking free not from the close confining prison of faith (all three were believing Christians, of one sort or another) but from the enormous burden of the millennial authority of Aristotelian science. The scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was not a revival of Hellenistic science but its final defeat.”
David Bentley Hart, Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies

David Bentley Hart
“Among all the many great transitions that have marked the evolution of Western civilisation ... there has been only one—the triumph of Christianity —that can be called in the fullest sense a "revolution": a truly massive and epochal revision of humanity's prevailing vision of reality, so pervasive in its influence and so vast in its consequences as to actually have created a new conception of the world, of history, of human nature, of time, and of the moral good.”
