What is my purpose in life? Who am I meant to be? How can I live a successful life? Why is there so much wrong with our world today? Am I part of the problem? What can I do to help change that? These are the big, seemingly unanswerable questions that everyone must ask and then answer in life. In Encounters With Jesus, New York Times-bestselling author and renowned pastor Timothy Keller explores Jesus' answers to life's biggest questions by showing what happened to those who met Jesus personally. Jesus changed the lives of nearly every person he met in the Gospels. These were powerful experiences that can have a profound effect on us today and help explain not only different aspects of Christianity, but the deep questions of life itself. Timothy Keller highlights ten of these encounters, including his meeting a sceptical student, a religious insider, an outcast, even Satan himself, and proves how invaluable the lessons from these encounters are for contemporary readers.

Other helpful features include: brief summaries of basic tenants and sources of authority; helpful charts for quick reference; an in-depth doctrinal appendix for further study..." -- BACK COVER.

Buku ini mengantar pembaca menjelajahi pertanyaan mendasar yang sering dilompati: dari mana pengetahuan berasal, bagaimana kita bisa mengetahui sesuatu, dan sejauh mana sesuatu bisa disebut “benar”? Dengan gaya bertutur yang jernih dan tidak menggurui, penulis merangkum gagasan-gagasan besar dalam epistemologi, mulai dari teori kebenaran, sumber pengetahuan, hingga kritik terhadap kekuasaan dalam produksi pengetahuan. Disusun secara sistematis dan bernapas panjang, buku ini memperkenalkan berbagai aliran dan tokoh kunci dalam filsafat pengetahuan—dari rasionalisme hingga positivisme, dari Gettier hingga Nozick—serta mengaitkannya dengan isu-isu kontemporer, seperti epistemologi feminis, kritik postkolonial, dan tantangan di era digital. Pengetahuan tak lagi netral, dan buku ini membantu kita membaca ulang siapa yang bicara, mewakili siapa, dan untuk kepentingan apa. Lebih dari sekadar buku teks, Epistemologi: Mengenal Filsafat Pengetahuan adalah ajakan untuk menimbang ulang keyakinan yang terlalu tenang dan merawat kepekaan terhadap apa yang kita anggap “pasti”. Cocok untuk mahasiswa, pengajar, atau siapa pun yang ingin berpikir lebih pelan di tengah dunia yang serba tergesa.

In this “extraordinary family memoir,”* the National Book Award–winning author of The Future Is History reveals the story of her two grandmothers, who defied Fascism and Communism during a time when tyranny reigned. *The New York Times Book Review In the 1930s, as waves of war and persecution were crashing over Europe, two young Jewish women began separate journeys of survival. Ester Goldberg was a rebel from Bialystok, Poland, where virtually the entire Jewish community would be sent to Hitler’s concentration camps. Ruzya Solodovnik was a Russian-born intellectual who would become a high-level censor under Stalin’s regime. At war’s end, both women found themselves in Moscow. Over the years each woman had to find her way in a country that aimed to make every citizen a cog in the wheel of murder and repression. One became a hero in her children’s and grandchildren’s eyes; the other became a collaborator. With grace, candor, and meticulous research, Masha Gessen, one of the most trenchant observers of Russia and its history today, peels back the layers of time to reveal her grandmothers’ lives—and to show that neither story is quite what it seems. Praise for Masha Gessen “One of the most important activists and journalists Russia has known in a generation.”—David Remnick, The New Yorker “Masha Gessen is humbly erudite, deftly unconventional, and courageously honest.”—Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny

"Eternal Security is the teaching that God shall with no uncertainty bring into their eternal inheritance those who are actually justified-delivered from the curse of the law and have the righteousness of Christ reckoned to their account-and who have been begotten by the Spirit of God. And further it is the teaching that God shall do this in a way glorifying to Himself, in harmony with His nature and consistent with the teaching of Scripture concerning the nature of those who are called saints. Why is this important? Why is it important for every Christian to know that once God has taken him for His own, He will never let him go? Arthur W. Pink gives many reasons for this in this book on Eternal Security. For one thing, it is necessary in order to strengthen young and fearful Christians in their faith-by safeguarding the honor and integrity of God and His Word. And it is also necessary in order to preserve one of the grand and distinctive blessings of the Gospel, which to deny is to attack the very foundations of the believer's comfort and assurance." Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death, ' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.

'Ethics after Christendom' proposes that the special moral challenge facing churches in post-Christian societies is to center Christian ethics ecclesially while also keeping it both evangelical and catholic. Siding with the diagnosis that North American Christendom has drawn to an end, Vigen Guroian provides an analysis of the present cultural context in which Christian ethics must now be done, discusses the role of churches after Christendom, and shows - through the application of ecclesial ethics to family, medicine, and ecology - how liturgy enriches and deepens the Christian ethical vision.

Memotret geliat bisnis di negeri indah ini memang menarik. Buku dengan tajuk tak lain menyoroti praktik -praktik bisnis etis yang sekarang marak terjadi. Sekaligus juga membidik praktik bisnis curang yang ternyata mulai ditinggalkan para pelanggannya.
