However, try this book, can be found in our national library. The first chapter on Luther is a must-read! It is essentially a summary of the protestant faith.

Not sure whether you like more factual New Testament studies. No theology inside. No usual Christian stuff. Just an academic study of early Christianity.Originally posted by davidche:Cool, got other more good reads?
I recommend books by Ehrman. But don't reach for his books yet. Read the study guide on his textbook on the New Testament. It is a summary of what he will be writing in his other books.
I have collated the text on the book website onto a Word document. Enjoy!

The Da Vinci Code

Hope you enjoy the books that you get to read. I don't have book recommendations for you, just a word of caution to be careful when reading such books. When it comes to religion, I doubt there are many books (if at all) that are truly neutral and 'fact-based', even if it purports itself to be so.Originally posted by davidche:Any recommended religious-based books? Prefer christian based and more fact based, less POV based. Prefer one that is according to correct teachings.. ...
For example, a seemingly neutral and to many, a logical opening like, "Let's start by agreeing that the Christian bible is the only true word of God, everything that God wants to tell us is found in this most holy of book and no where else ... ", would in itself be based on the views and prejudices of the author because a great number of Christians (eg: the Catholic Church) do not agree with this statement. Their position is that God's word comes to us through the Church and the bible, not bible alone. It was the Church that preceded the bible and nowhere in the bible does it say or claim to be the be-all and the end-all of God's word.
So bottomline is to have a critical mind as you journey through these readings. Cheers.

Most my Christian books are in Indonesian.
"The torn veil", the story of sister Gulshan Esther
Those titles that I try to translate into English for you:
Chasing the dragon, by Jakcie Pullinger with Andrew Quicke
"If I have to die" Esther Ahn Kim
"Shee Mu Awn" by Kim Dong Kim with Jimi Miller
Brother Yun testament book "The heavenly man"
Those are the books that still intrigue me even until today. Ordinary people with remarkable faith and the extraordinary challenge they faced and overcame. -

Read "Our Duty and Our Joy" by Kuan Kim Seng. In this book, Canon Kuan writes about true worship defined in the bible.
