Permanently changes your thinking about the book of Genesis.
If you believe, this is simply one of the best books you'll ever read. It literally changes your whole perspective on life. A classic. A textbook in Bible colleges, yet very easy to read.

Sermons on the first chapters of Genesis.
Outstanding sermons on the meaning of the opening chapters of Genesis, the meaning of creation, God, man, sin, and our journey of faith. Very readable.

When I find another book ofhis sermons I'll buy it too!
I expected this to be scolarly and hard to understand. WOW what a joy to find these are excellently researched and prepared yet easy to read. They are right where we live! They relate to our daily lives!

Outstanding book of sermons on the parables of Jesus
This book is outstanding. Thielicke's sermons place the reader in the middle of the meaning of the parables and of life's journey. Thielicke was a pastor during World War II, and his sermons reflect the depth of his rich experience of what it means to be human and loved by God. If you enjoy Max Lucado, you will enjoy and be blessed by Thielicke.

Nothing new under the sun
I first read this book by Helmut Thielicke a time ago when I was struggling heavily with the inability to be able to prove my christian faith to my own satisfaction.Researching modern apologetics books on the subject brought be little more satisfaction.I guess its another one of those paradoxes in life that I came across this book in an old second hand bookstore in panama while travelling through,for even to find a good english book wouldve been surprising. Im grateful to the author for this heart warming book that helped me realise that the questions we ask arent new,and that reason,although a pointer towards truth,simply cannot carry you in commitment into a truthful relationship in life.Yep,one of the unavoidable joys in life is the risk we have to face,for faith of some kind is compulsory for every person. I welcomed the writer's honesty and the depth with which he examines the simple stories in the Bible where everyday people meet Jesus and are changed.Its an eye-opener and a wealth of hidden lessons often overlooked.It brought back to heart a consciousness of the person of Jesus Ive regretfully been encouraged to ignore. It also helped me to begin to look a little closer in my Bible-reading.I gave the book a 5 because it achieved its purpose for me and I felt it would be an injustice to remain silent. I would encourage anyone struggling with the apparent contradiction between proof and faith to read it.Actually, I would encourage anyone searching for meaning in life to read it.


Nihilism: Its Origin and Nature--With a Christian Answer
Published in Hardcover by Greenwood Publishing Group (1981)
Author: Helmut Thielicke
Amazon base price: $62.95
Used price: $6.99
Collectible price: $20.00
Average review score:

An extraordinary look at nihilism
This is one of the most stimulating (and damning)
investigations into what Thielicke calls
"the lonely ism", nihilism.

Avoiding a cold rationalist approach, Thielicke
instead investigates the "fruits" of nihilism,
arguing that there are only two possibilities
of belief, namely theism and nihilism.
Thielicke then goes to great lengths to
demonstrate that true nihilism is itself not
possible in action.

This is truly a classic work of apologetics, written
by a master theologian with a brilliant
and perceptive mind. A "must read" for theists,
philosophers, and theologians, but still
accessible to the layman.


Prayer That Spans the World
Published in Hardcover by Attic Pr (1978)
Authors: Helmut Thielicke and J. W. Doberstein
Amazon base price: $17.95
Average review score:

Best book of sermons on Lord's Prayer available.
Sermons were preached in Germany during the Allied bombing of WWII. They show the depth of Thielicke's thinking and experience as a man of faith. If you like Max Lucado, you will love Thielicke's sermons.


Little Exercise for Young Theologians
Published in Paperback by Attic Pr (1997)

Good advice to warn the new theologian
Helmut Thielicke, well known throughout the theological world for his prolific writing, sermons and theological prowess has written a remarkably gentle and pastoral book that should be essential for anyone venturing into the world of academics and theology.

Perhaps many of us had experience with people who, when they begin theological studies, they have a way about them of thinking they know more than the typical "lay" person, that they have risen above simplistic faith. I too struggle with this feeling as I read the great theologians who are out there. Not that I know more; its just that sometimes I think I do!

His warning and advice, then, comes as a stern but loving warning to be careful and wary. For os it not more important that we be people who help the people of God, rather than divide because of our elitist attitude? Thielicke perhaps not only is writing this to the "young" theologians who read it, but to himself, a man who is steeped in so much knowledge.

An essential and edifying book for all. Read and enjoy.

Excellent must have
I was introduced to this work by a friend who was a recent seminary graduate. I think this work should be read by everyone who has the Spiritual gift of teaching/preaching as it will be an effective help to prevent burnout, boasting, pride, and arrogance. All of those are frequent sins associated with teaching the word.

This book is excellent for the pastor, seminary student, and any other person who is equipped (or being equipped) for a teaching/pastoral based ministry.

Should Be Required Exercises For All Theologians
Even though 20+ years old, timeless wisdom gently whispers from these pages from a veteran theologian. Not only young practitioners should heed this sage preacher's advice, but all who seek to communicate God's truth should re-read this volume at least once a year to review the fundamentals, re-focus on the hows and whys of basic hermeneutics, and abide by the Biblical dictum, "Do not go beyond what is written." Variety at the expense of verity is vanity. This book is must reading at thrice the price!
