No God But God
Helps clear the way to a fruitful dialogue between Christians and Muslims by addressing several questions that are usually grounds for misunderstandings between the two.
Pittsburgh Jesus
Jesus promised, "I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world." Should it surprise us that Jesus would make it to the Three Rivers City and live among us, in word, spirit and truth? And, the gospels tell us, 'He went about everywhere doing good.' - that means in your home town, too. A.Christian van Gorder takes the "cookies" of faith and puts them on a shelf where anyone can reach them and delight in their sweetness.

Jews and Christians Together
Rabbi Gordon Fuller and Dr. Christian van Gorder are committed to helping people of both faith traditions gain, as far as is possible, a participant's appreciation of those from the other community. This means addressing misconceptions and misrepresentations as well as challenging widely held assumptions. Jews and Christians Together delves into the strained relationship between these two faith communities and exposes why these communities need to come to a better understanding and appreciation of the other. Events such as the attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania demonstrate why society must address and foil anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism wherever and whenever such views appear. The efforts of Fuller and van Gorder to explore these issues with their own faith communities can provide a helpful starting-point to confront trends of increasing hate and bigotry towards Jews today. Fuller and van Gorder ask us to acknowledge the marred history of Christianity and anti-Semitism, so that we can explore healthy Jewish-Christian dialogue and gain a shared and constructive mutual respect.
