Sexual Liberation
Sex sells, they say, but even today, it is considered forbidden, wrong, or sinful by many in the Western world.

It tells the story of how sex came to be regarded by societies throughout the ages as perverse, sinful, and wrong, and how the motivations of a few have lasted centuries and colored our view of sex and sexuality even today.

Paper Dragons
Beginning with the author’s earliest memories of adventures as a young boy in a small Kentucky town, Paper Dragons is a story of a long journey--a journey through time in the life of an ordinary person living in a very extraordinary world. Extraordinary, in that it moves through dramatically changing times--spanning five decades of music, war, civil unrest, and cultural evolution. "Paper Dragons” is not just stories from the author’s life, but a tale of inner battles and self-discovery. On a self-guided tour of life’s roads, our restless hero sets out to find his Arcadia with intentions of escaping his non-inspiring life. From the bluegrass meadows of Kentucky to the mountains of New Hampshire, he pursues and finds a life he has dreamed of. Once found, his new world presents a fresh and unique set of adversaries to conquer and sends him on a much different quest. Following his new precedence, he travels through a land of monsters and dragons, where he discovers unforeseen truths about his life. Armed with a great weapon bestowed upon him as a child, he battles his enemies and finds his true Shangri-La in a most unlikely place.
Alive in God
Timothy Radcliffe considers the strength of the Christian imagination in its ability inspire others. How can Christianity touch the imagination of our contemporaries when ever fewer people in the West identify as religious? Timothy Radcliffe argues we must show how everything we believe is an invitation to live fully. God says: "I put before you life and death: choose life." Anyone who understands the beauty and messiness of human life--novelists, poets, filmmakers and so on--can be our allies, whether they believe or not. The challenge is not today's secularism but its banality. We accompany the disciples as they struggle to understand this strange man who heals, casts out demons and offers endless forgiveness. In the face of death, he teaches them what it means to be alive in God. Then he embraces all that afflicts and crushes humanity. Finally, Radcliffe explores what it means for us to be alive spiritually, physically, sacramentally, justly and prayerfully. The result is a compelling new understanding of the words of Jesus: "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

Μετά Θεόν
“Τὸ νέο βιβλίο τοῦ διαπρεποῦς καθηγητοῦ τῆς Φιλοσοφίας τῆς Ἰατρικῆς κ. Herman Tristram Engelhardt μὲ τὸν τίτλο «Μετὰ Θεόν. Ἠθικὴ καὶ Βιοηθικὴ στὸν αἰώνα τῆς ἐκκοσμίκευσης», παρουσιάζει μὲ ἰδιαίτερη σαφήνεια τὴν κατάσταση στὴν ὁποία βρίσκεται ἡ Ἠθικὴ καὶ ἡ Βιοηθικὴ στὴν «μετὰ Θεὸν» καὶ ἄνευ Θεοῦ φάση της καὶ ἐκθέτει τὶς κρίσεις καὶ τὶς προτάσεις του. Μέσα στὴ σύγχρονη ἠθικὴ καὶ κοινωνικὴ διάλυση καὶ ἀσυναρτησία ὁ σοβαρὸς καὶ ὑπεύθυνος ἐπιστημονικὸς λόγος, ποὺ σέβεται καὶ πληροφορεῖ ἀνιδιοτελῶς τὸν ἄνθρωπο ἀποτελεῖ ἀνεκτίμητο θησαυρό.” (Από τον πρόλογο του βιβλίου)
