Consuming Glory
In the late 1990s, Open Theism took the theological world by storm. Advocated by several prominent theologians, among them Clark H. Pinnock, the view argues that human beings cannot have a genuine relationship with God if God possesses what classical theology has affirmed to be exhaustive foreknowledge of future events. Such foreknowledge, open theists claim, would make human freedom (and salvation itself) meaningless and divine power akin to little more than meaningless, cosmic puppeteering. While several works have taken the important step of addressing open theisms scriptural deficiencies in its denial of Gods foreknowledge, none have dealt with the vital issue of divine-human relationali...

A Liminal Space
This book takes one step further the long-standing debate among scholars of religious antiquity over when and why a parting of the ways happened between Judaism and Christianity in the early centuries of the Common Era.

The book envisions a religion that stands between historical Judaism and Christianity—a counterfactual construction that challenges Jews and Christians to rethink their actual identities today.

The Eucharistic Sacrifice of Jesus
This book is original and much is a result of reflective enraptured listening to many scholars and reflective reading of books by scholars on the subject. All the above people have shown me that the Eucharist is something very special and that it is not just a cult, but a celebration of ‘self giving’ , as Jesus said, “ This is my Body given up for you.” “DO this in memory of me” 50% of the proceeds will be donated to Catholic Relief Organizations. --------------------------- Christopher Anandappa was a popular weekly writer for the Catholic Universe Newspaper before its demise, so I was thrilled when he agreed to write for the newly launched Universe Catholic Weekly.
