Mark Coppenger Books

A collection of quirky and thought-provoking court cases explores various philosophical concepts through absurd scenarios, including a dying man's unusual request, a customs official's faux pas, and a farmer's grievances with military aircraft. Each case, from a monkey's selfie to a minister's unconventional wedding, serves as a backdrop for discussions on libertarianism, speciesism, and the nature of speech acts, offering a unique blend of humor and philosophical inquiry.

The book explores the transformative journey of a Fortune 500 CEO and a veteran Muppeteer, both newly awakened in their faith. Influenced by the prophetic teachings of Times Square Church and the legacy of William Wilberforce, they engage with the moral challenges of the West and the inspiring actions of Anglican archbishops from the Global South. Their collaboration leads to a diverse array of impactful publications, productions, gatherings, and endowments, reflecting their commitment to creating a meaningful legacy.

The book delves into the spiritual context and impact of the plane crash that devastated the Marshall University football team, an aspect often overlooked in the film "We Are Marshall" and the documentary "Marshall University: Ashes to Glory." It examines the profound emotional and spiritual journey of the community as they cope with their loss and rebuild their team, highlighting themes of resilience, hope, and healing in the face of tragedy.

It is reasonable to expect that the followers of Jesus Christ would exude the same sort of moral goodness that he did. But what does it mean to be good? What does it mean for the reality of the Christian faith that Christians fail to live up to the standards set by the Bible? Mark Coppenger engages with these questions. Contents include: Introduction A Few Questions About the Question I Suppose We Asked For It Some You Might Have Missed The Bible Tells Me So Are You Sure About That? The Problem of False Professors Are You Sure About That? Doubtful Narratives Who's Counting? Antibodies: Devotional and Congregational Antibodies: Beyond Home and Congregation Environmental Protection The Rest of the Story Each chapter includes a summary of the main points. The Big Ten: Critical Questions Answered is a Christian apologetics series which addresses ten commonly asked questions about God, the Bible, and Christianity. Each book, while easy to read, is challenging and thought-provoking, dealing with subjects ranging from hell to science. A good read whatever your present opinions.
