More to Think About
Over the last decade, there has been a remarkable resurgence of theological work that attempts to rethink and re-enliven Christianity. George Ricker has worked through sermons, newspaper columns, Sunday school classes and radio spots, seeking a mature faith that is authentic to the historic witness and also credible to the postmodern, even post-Christian world. George is a marvel. At 89, he serves as Pastor Emeritus at University United Methodist Church in Austin, Texas and he continues to teach and write about the meaning of the Christian faith.
A New Look at the Old Commandments
The Ten Commandments are so familiar that it is difficult to imagine how a book about them could be both illuminating and traditional, in the best sense. But George Ricker manages to throw new light on this ancient subject while at the same time not straying so far afield from a mainstream understanding as to make the reader feel alienated. Dr. Ricker has provided a thought provoking look at the Ten Commandments. He presents the material in a format appropriate for Bible study. His use of holistic models as an interpretive key to reading the Ten Commandments will be helpful to a great many readers.
Something to Think About
In this volume are thoughts on twenty-five subjects encouraging readers to think. The topics include: truth, reason, prayer, time, abortion and homosexuality, religious freedom, church and state, male and female, Bible, miracles, life and death, believing, prophecy, creation, religion and several other current subjects of interest. Questions at the end of each chapter encourage thinking. The individual or class can accept, reject, or add to the thoughts expressed. This publication is either for personal reflection or to be considered for class or study group sessions. Other books by Dr. Ricker include What You Don't Have To Believe To Be a Christian, New Look at the Old Commandments, and Faith Once Given.
What You Don't Have to Believe to Be a Christian
Many Christians live with doubts about certain traditional Christian beliefs, and their doubts often result in guilt. Others are led to reject the faith out of disagreement with beliefs that seem to be absurd and anti-intellectual. Despite the notoriety of the fundamentalist world-view, some stories need not to be taken as literal or historical; and learning to separate fact from symbol, metaphor, or myth may actually strengthen the Christian witness. Liberation from literalism open the possibilities for greater depth of meaning to be found in what have been traditional beliefs. Bishop J.A.T. Robinson put it this way; "It is the things one doesn't have to believe, and finds one doesn't have to believe, which are truly liberating as the thingds one does." "What You Don't Have to Believe to Be a Christian," is a helpful guide to discovering the non-essential in Christian beliefs.
