About the author
Klaus Nürnberger
20 books3 followers"I sometimes think of myself as a "residual colonialist" – a Westerner dropped in Africa by birth and entangled with Africa without his consent. What am I doing here? Well, this is my home and I love it.klaus-thumb
I am a Christian. A Lutheran. A committed ecumenist. I believe that there is only one church of Christ, but there are various gifts to serve each other, and various insights to correct and enrich each other.
I am a theologian. But I also have a natural sciences and economics background. My passion has been to translate the biblical message into thought patterns of today. I work on an interdisciplinary basis.
I have been called to serve a predominantly black church in South Africa. African traditional spirituality, its interaction with modernity and the social consequences have fascinated and challenged me.
As a privileged person I am afflicted by the discrepancies in income and life chances between economic centres and peripheries. I devoted a considerable part of my career on causes and possible remedies.
With many of my generation I have witnessed the agonies and conflicts produced by nationalism, colonialism and apartheid. I cannot shake off the burden of my belonging to the perpetrators.
On the website you will find a list of my publications, abstracts of my major books, some ad hoc 'position papers' on selected themes, chapters from recent books, and a few recent sermons and songs.
Here follows my life story for those who need to know more."

April 5, 2013Even in the description I find an issue. Naturalists and Atheists do not believe they are "responsible only to themselves" where it is completely the opposite. We believe we are responsible to everything and everyone. We know that our decisions effect it all living things in an evironmental sense and social sense. Knowing that is where you are coming from it makes it hard to want to read your book. Though I will and I will give an honet rating and review when that time comes. I just hope your book doesnt work on as many false ideas such as that.

February 3, 2011This is a book that I have written. Please add it to your advertised list. Dawkins' book is an international bestseller and merits a professional response from a Christian theologian.

Amazing book. What is written is always outside the box, different from what most believe. Some opinions the narrator mentioned actually clicked something in my mind. Some are easily to be argued about.all in all,it is a great book to read because the writer is an athius, so his opinion which he mentioned in the book that no need for a great power like god to be the one who created life..science is the proof. An interesting opinion he said: there is nothing called creater,only a discoverer.ex humans didnt creat the car,they discovered all the materials and built the machine.
