The Blind Watch has a twofold purpose. Firstly, it aims to expose some of the salient inadequacies and fallacies of modern atheism. Secondly, and more fundamentally, it is intended to expand our thinking about nature in general and about the meaning of nature for a Christian understanding of human beings. For systematic reasons, the book focuses on Richard Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker, which has become a classic on modern atheism. In contrast to Dawkins' work, the present book describes the watch, i.e. the atheistic scientist, not the watchmaker, as blind, insofar as the scientist calculates everything, but sees very little. By confronting the atheism of Dawkins with the philosophical (Heraclitus and the Stoics) and the theological (the Apostle Paul and Augustine) traditions, the book develops a fundamental understanding of nature as nature that leads to a definition of life quite different from that of the evolutionary biologists.
The essays in On the Writing of New Testament Commentaries survey relevant questions related to the writing of commentaries on the books of the New Testament.
What does the New Testament have to say about the attitude of Christians and the church toward those who exercise political authority? Few topics have caused more controversy in the history of the church than the relationship between church and state-from the first century to the present. Pilgrim offers an analysis of the various attitudes of New Testament writers on this difficult subject, ranging from submission to overt resistance by the church. The volume also excursus on "Church and State in Luke-Acts" and a concluding chapter on hermeneutics.

Die "Heilige Kirche" hat schon früh die "Sache Jesu" aufgegeben und sich jener Macht verschrieben, der Jesus in den Versuchungen der Wüste widerstanden hatte. Seither zeigt ihr Handeln diabolischen Charakter. In vielen Jahrhunderten bis heute hat sie dies perfektioniert. Hinter ihrem vorgetäuschten Heiligenschein agiert sie oft weltlicher, unmenschlicher, sublimer und zugleich brutaler als die "böse" weltliche Welt. Diese Kirche ist nicht reformierbar, nicht zu retten. Wer die "Sache Jesu" aufgreifen möchte, sollte das System Kirche sich selbst überlassen und neue, eigene Wege gehen.
Wer sich weiterhin für das Christentum interessiert, aber den Lehren und Handlungsweisen der Amtskirchen kritisch gegenübersteht, findet in diesem Buch Bestätigung - und das wissenschaftlich fundiert. Aufgrund seiner praktischen und wissenschaftlichen Erfahrungen bietet der Autor einen eigenständigen Denkweg. Dieser ermöglicht ihm spannende Darstellungen der Gesamtzusammenhänge. Darüber hinaus vermittelt das Buch Anregungen für die Gestaltung eines persönlichen christlichen Glaubens. Die Vision einer ökumenischen und offenen Kirche weist einen Weg in die Zukunft.
