Uma teoria de tudo (que importa)
Albert Einstein é merecidamente reconhecido como um dos grandes gênios da humanidade. Suas descobertas revolucionaram a compreensão do nosso planeta e do Universo. Mas a figura fascinante de Einstein não pode ser reduzida às suas conquistas como cientista, por mais espetaculares que sejam.Alister McGrath aponta que um dos grandes méritos de Einstein foi sua busca incessante por integrar ciência, ética e fé para alcançar uma descrição mais rica da realidade: uma teoria de tudo que importa. Ainda que se tratasse de campos bem diferentes, a composição de um quadro abrangente que permitisse encapsular um todo coerente lançou nosso gênio numa jornada singular, para a qual esta obra nos remete.

Christian Belief for Everyone
The Christian Belief for Everyone series comprises five guides to the basic ideas of the Christian faith. Full of stories and helpful illustrations, these guides have been written primarily for ordinary churchgoers, though they will no doubt also appeal to interested readers outside the church. The approach Alister McGrath adopts is non-denominational, very similar to the 'mere Christianity' advocated by C. S. Lewis. Indeed, the series may be seen as a guide to 'mere Christianity', focusing clearly as it does on the life of faith. We look at why Christians believe what they do; how we can best understand these ideas, and the difference they make to the way we think about ourselves and our world.

Mere Discipleship
For those involved in discipling others and anyone looking for a deeper, richer relationship with God.Are you looking to move beyond a superficial grasp of faith and find the riches that God promises in His Word?Learn how we can hold on to hope while journeying through darkness, and live meaningfully in a world where things don't always seem to make sense.In exploring Christian discipleship, Alister McGrath encourages us to move beyond a superficial grasp of our faith to discover its depth and riches. He sees discipleship as a process of growth in wisdom: we absorb a Christian vision of reality, allow it to percolate in our minds and then inform how we see things, think about them and act. Helpfully drawing on the astute and illuminating insights of Dorothy L. Sayers, C. S. Lewis, John Stott and J. I. Packer, the author suggests how we can hold on to hope while journeying through darkness, and live meaningfully in a world where things don't always seem to make sense.'Alister McGrath offers an appealing and lucid demonstration of theology understood as a "reflective inhabitation" of the Christian faith. This wise and elegant book shows the urgent importance of a Christian mind for faithful discipleship that engages the contemporary world. It should be essential reading for every pastor and every thoughtful Christian layperson.'Jeffrey P. Greenman, President, Regent College, Vancouver

Enriching our Vision of Reality
In this exceptional volume, Alister McGrath writes for scientists with an interest in theology, and Christians and theologians who are aware of the importance of the natural sciences. A scene-setting chapter explores the importance of the human quest for intelligibility. The focus then moves to three leading figures who have stimulated discussion about the relationship between science and theology[LC1] in recent years: Charles Coulson, an Oxford professor of theoretical chemistry who was also a prominent Methodist lay preacher; Thomas F. Torrance, perhaps the finest British theologian of the twentieth century; and John Polkinghorne, a theoretical physicist, theologian and Anglican priest. The latter part of the book features six parallel 'conversations' between science and theology, which lay the groundwork for the kind of enriched vision of reality the author hopes to encourage. Here, we are inspired to enjoy individual aspects of nature while seeking to interpret them in the light of deeper revelations about our gloriously strange universe. 'Enriching our Vision of Reality is elegant, erudite, and animated by a constant enthusiasm for its subject. There is everything here - science, theology, philosophy, biography, even some poetry - all enlisted to help us to see the world as it is, both more clearly and with greater delight.'The Revd Dr Andrew Davison, Starbridge Lecturer in Theology and Natural Sciences, University of Cambridge, and Fellow in Theology at Corpus Christi College
