Becoming a Christian
What influences the decision to become a Christian? In the seventeenth century the famous scientist Blaise Pascal viewed this as a game, with truth our adversary. Pascal argued that we are in the game whether we like it or not. Christianity is either true or not, and we have to weigh the two alternatives. According to Pascal's Wager we have everything to win and nothing to lose by taking a leap of faith and becoming a Christian. In this book Ola Hossjer extends Pascal's Wager and argues that we respond to the Christian message very differently. There are three main attitudes among people: the first group follows Pascal's advice, even if evidence before the decision is incomplete; the second group requires convincing evidence at first; and members of the third group will not become Christians regardless of evidence. Hossjer contends that the decision consists of three components: a religious disposition from birth, evidence, and a willingness to act. Although we weigh evidence and will
Vargavinter i paradiset, E-bok
Sverige genomlider en sträng vinter – en riktig vargavinter! Även politiskt hårdnar klimatet. Den unge piloten Pascal känner sig nedstämd, slutar flyga och har återkommande mardrömmar om vargar. Motvilligt övertalas Pascal att resa till Thailand. Men det blir ingen semester i turistparadiset. Tillsammans med barndomsvännen Kajsa – numera posterad på Sveriges ambassad i Bangkok – bevittnar Pascal ett bombattentat i Krabi. Thailändska militären beskyller snabbt den mystiske separatistledaren Khun Katarsis för samröre med oppositionen och genomför en statskupp. Samtidigt ser Sverige sin chans att sälja fler stridsflygplan till Thailand. Pär Skånbergs roman ”Vargavinter i paradiset” är den andra, och fristående, delen i serien ”Pascals äventyr”. Det är en humorfylld spänningsroman om mörka politiska krafter. Samtidigt får vi följa en ung mans uppgörelse med sitt eget inre mörker. Pär Skånberg är en svensk diplomat med tjänstgöringar från Utrikesdepartementet och ambassaderna i Riyadh, Bangkok och Athen.
