Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Best selling novelist and George MacDonald editor and biographer Michael Phillips is also a biblical scholar with more than two-dozen lesser known devotional and biblical-based non-fiction titles. One of the hallmarks of his writing is his fearless dedication to probe the depths of difficult scriptural conundrums with straightforward common sense. His conclusions do not always fit into the tidy formulas of traditional orthodoxy. Following in the footsteps of his mentor George MacDonald, Phillips therefore incurs frequent criticism from certain quarters for his "bold thinking." His self-proclaimed objective, however, is to encourage Christians to think about the tenets of their faith, even occasionally to think outside the box. Three of his recent titles which accomplish that purpose more than most are the fantasy Hell and Beyond and George MacDonald and the Late Great Hell Debate, along with Phillips' signature work, Bold Thinking Christianty.
