Possession and Persuasion: The Rhetoric of Christian Faith	Robert Hach	"To say that biblical faith is a matter of rhetoric is not to reduce it to the level of politics or advertising, to which the term 'rhetoric' is, in popular usage, typically applied. It is, rather, to affirm that all matters which require belief are matters of rhetoric--the persuasive use of language--and that biblical faith, unlike virtually all other forms of religious faith, plainly acknowledges this fact."
The Doctrine of the Trinity: Christianity's Self-Inflicted Wound	Anthony Buzzard and Charles Hunting	"This book provides a definitive presentation of a Christology rooted in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The authors present a sharply-argued appeal for an understanding of God and Jesus in the context of Christianity's original, Apostolic, unitary monotheism."
They Never Told Me This In Church	Greg Deuble	"Subtle foreign influences, mostly from pagan Greek philosophy, which neither Jesus nor his first-centure followers would recognize or endorse, have obscured the original gospel as Jesus preached it. Most churchgoers accept without question, unbiblical traditions which they have never seriously investigated."
The Amazing Aims and Claims of Jesus: What You Didn't Learn In Church	Anthony Buzzard	"Jesus came to reveal the way to life in the future Kingdom of God. Jesus' Gospel or Good News was concentrated on one topic. Our destiny as human beings is to achieve indestructible life through future resurrection into the coming age of the Kingdom on earth. That is the heart of the Christian Gospel."
Project Apostasy: The Development and Propagation of the Trinitarian Doctrine	Jesse Acuff	"Project Apostasy and the Holy Trinity challenges the reader to search out the truth behind the development of the Trinitarian doctrine. It behooves us to emulate the Bereans who searched the Scriptures daily seeking the truth. It is time we returned to the Gospel the Apostles first delivered."
Jesus Was Not a Trinitarian: A Call to Return to the Creed of Jesus	Anthony Buzzard	Anthony Buzzard invites scholars and laymen alike to take seriously Jesus' Jewish creed, his recitation of the Shema, "Hear, O Israel," which proclaims God to be one single Lord. Defining God and His Son biblically remains part of the unfinished work of the Reformation.
