Confident Witness: Evangelism and Apologetics for the 21st Century
Essay Collection Offers Colleges and Students a Practical Introduction to Evangelism. Inclusivism, universalism, and other secular cultural trends are dominating higher education and the world at large. Are Christian universities making the most of their unique position to advance the gospel in the 21st century? Compiling essays from various Christian scholars, Confident Witness helps educators and students understand the importance of evangelism in every generation. Edited by David S. Dockery, president of the International Alliance for Christian Education, the chapters cover a variety of topics, including the theological foundation of evangelism; discipleship and apologetics; evangelism in church history; and evangelism in a post-Christian context. Uniting influential voices in Christian higher education, Confident Witness challenges students to take an active part in God’s salvation work through direct, urgent communication of the gospel.
Marriage: Its Foundation, Theology, and Mission in a Changing World
What we believe about marriage reflects what we believe about God. God designed marriage to tell us about Himself—to showcase His love, commitment and redemption. What does it mean, then, that many Christians today aren’t sure what marriage is or why it matters? Could it be that while we were busy defending marriage (or trying not to offend the world) we actually lost sight of its original purpose and beauty? We must learn to speak wisely, biblically, and winsomely about marriage. The book you hold in your hand represents 4 years and thousands of hours of work from 40 experts on this crucial topic. These theologians, professors, pastors, and counselors have written on diverse topics related to marriage—from the way neuroscience upholds love to the challenges of dealing with broken relationships. All so that you can better understand and express the beauty and truth of God-honoring and world-changing marriage. Marriage is the great issue of our day. If you want to lead well, it’s time to prepare yourself for the conversations ahead.
Godly Jealousy: A Theology of Intolerant Love
As human jealousy is seldom uncontaminated with sin, it tends only to be understood as a negative emotion. However, the Bible tells us that God is a jealous God, and Erik Thoennes offers us unique insights into Godly Jealousy as taught in Scripture, and also looks closely at biblical leaders who displayed Godly human jealousy. Thoennes masterfully draws ethical and theological implications from godly jealousy for the 21st Century. This book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned with character development and who seeks to know the central values needed in the church today.
