14. The New Atheism and the Erosion of Freedom, Robert A. Morey, Bethany, 1986. A primer on how materialists put their case, its flaws and damaging implications for freedom. It also illustrates how to respond effectively. 15. The Challenge of Marxism, Klaus Bockmuehl, IVP. An introductory look at Marxism, a key case illustrating the implications of evolutionary materialism. For economic issues, see Mark Blaug's Economic Theory in Retrospect, Cambridge, 1978, (3rd edn.), especially the chapter on Marxian economics and the introduction. 16. Capitalism and Progress. Goudzwaard, Bob. (Carlyle, UK: Paternoster Press, 1997.) A groundbreaking study of the rise of modern economies as the medieval worldview broke down, and an elaboration of its challenges and prospects. The discussion of the contrast between oikonomia and chrematistike [roughly: stewardship in the interests of all stakeholders of an enterprise vs. greed and exploitation], pp. 211 – 216, is a telling critique of modern market economies, in the interests of truly sustainable economics. More relevant today than when it was published in 1978, in Dutch. 17.
A Christian’s Pocket Guide to Islam, Patrick Sookhdeo, Christian Focus/Isaac, 2002. A short and well-documented, evangelistically oriented summary of Islam for Christians by a Theologian familiar with Islam in his native Guyana. Colin Chapman’s Cross and Crescent (IVP, 1995) provides more details. (The web site, http://www.answering-islam.org.uk/ is an online dialogue of Christians and Muslims. The Christian Resources section is very useful, and includes good training materials.)
