Böcker av Kenneth Wilson

Dr. Ken Wilson leads us on a fascinating journey through the historical and present perceptions on purgatory. Beginning with Jewish teachings during the time of Christ and the Apostles, he explores their thoughts on God's judgment in the afterlife. He guides us through the subsequent views of earliest Christianity (Roman Catholic and Orthodox) and then the later Protestant Reformation theologies. Finally, Wilson helps us to understand the modern Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish thinking on purgatory, and why Protestants today reject Christian punishment after death. As a Protestant theologian, Dr. Ken Wilson critiques the common Protestant logical and scriptural arguments against purgatory. He rejects the traditional medieval Roman Catholic concept of a formal Purgatory. Yet, he offers a compelling case that God does punish his own children both on earth and after death. Through Scripture, real life scenarios, and analogies, Dr. Wilson helps us as Protestants to understand how God's purifying judgment and mercy are required to answer the problem of injustice.

This isn't an ordinary journey. Old enough to know better, Kenneth Wilson sets off to cycle from Hadrian's Wall to Rome - with a cello on the back of his bike. Every day en route he makes music - at impromptu as well as formal concerts, busking, and just responding to the people and events of each day. Highway Cello is about the 1800 mile journey through England and France, over the Alps and into Italy, and the music and the mishaps along the way. But it's about more than that too. Through the medium of travel and cello, of encounter and exhaustion, of people and places, Kenneth unpacks the real questions of what life is really all about.

Tokyo 1941. Japan är allierad med Tyskland och Japan har ännu inte anfallit Pearl Harbor. Tokyo är mötesplatsen för diplomater, representanter från främmande makters underrättelsetjänster och högt uppsatta militärer. När berättelsen Spionen Richard Sorges trettonde bekännelse börjar arbetar Richard Sorge, korrespondent för tidningen Frankfurter Zeitung, på den tyska ambassaden som pressattaché. Samtidigt leder han ett spionnätverk i syfte att skaffa viktiga upplysningar, som han skickar till Moskva. Spionen Richard Sorges trettonde bekännelse är en berättelse om hur krigets fasor demoraliserar människor, men också om vänskap, en pojkes sökande efter en fadersgestalt och om moraliska konflikter.
