David W. Gooding je emeritní profesor starozákonní řečtiny na Queen's University v Belfastu a člen Královské irské akademie.

Lukášovo evangelium: neboť Syn člověka přišel, aby hledal a spasil, co zahynulo. Práce z pera profesora starozákonní řečtiny na universitě v Belfastu se svou precizností a netradičními pohledy řadí k nejzajímavějším výkladům Lukášova evangelia.
Existuje Bůh? Univerzitní profesoři, jeden matematik, druhý klasický řečtinář, zaujmou jednoduchostí argumentace, proč křesťanství. „Jak může dobrý a všemocný Bůh dopouštět utrpení?“ „Jak můžeš věřit v jedinou pravdu, když je tu mnoho dalších náboženství?“ nebo na názory „Víra dusí vědu.“ „Bible je kniha kterou využívá církev k manipulování lidí.“
Just before his execution, Jesus Christ invited his disciples to join him at a borrowed house in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. As he faced betrayal, arrest and crucifixion, he taught them about the very heart of the Christian faith, namely, holiness. When the time came to leave the house, he continued his teaching. As they made their way through darkened streets that were filled with hostility to him, he spoke of how he would empower them to be his witnesses in a world that would often hate them too. Jesus was the teacher; the disciples were his pupils. It was the school of Christ. David Gooding's exposition reveals the significance of the lessons Jesus taught inside the upper room (chs. 13-14), their connection to the lessons taught outside in the streets (chs. 15-16) and how both parts of this course on holiness relate to the Teacher's prayer to his Father (ch. 17). With a scholar's care for the text of Scripture, he expounds both the devotional richness and the practical nature of the lessons. He shows that to understand Christ's teaching on holiness is to know his power to change lives.

We need a coherent picture of our world. Life’s realities won’t let us ignore its fundamental questions, but with so many opposing views, how will we choose answers that are reliable? In this series of books, David Gooding and John Lennox offer a fair analysis of religious and philosophical attempts to find the truth about the world and our place in it. By listening to the Bible alongside other leading voices, they show that it is not only answering life’s biggest questions—it is asking better questions than we ever thought to ask. In Book 1 – Being Truly Human, Gooding and Lennox address issues surround¬ing the value of humans. They consider the nature and basis of morality, compare what morality means in different systems, and assess the dangerous way freedom is often devalued. What should guide our use of power? What should limit our choices? And to what extent can our choices keep us from fulfilling our potential?
