The revised edition of A Theology for the Church retains its original structure, organized under these traditional theological categories: revelation, God, humanity, Christ, the Holy Spirit, salvation, the church, and last things. Each chapter within these sections contains answers to the following four questions: What does the Bible say? What has the church believed? How does it all fit together? How does this doctrine impact the church today? Contributions from leading Baptist thinkers R. Albert Mohler, Jr., Paige Patterson, and Mark Dever among others will also appeal to the broader evangelical community. Included in this revision are new chapters on theological method from a missional perspective (Bruce Ashford and Keith Whitfield) and theology of creation, providence, and Sabbath that engages current research in science and philosophy (Chad Owen Brand). Chapters on special revelation (David Dockery) and human nature (John Hammett) have also been updated.
What if modern bureaucrats led our country toward a genocidal end which rivaled history's most wicked regimes? What if Christians helped them do it? And what does any of this have to do with autism? This book demonstrates how U.S. policy and social evolution has followed a trajectory eerily like the one which seated the Nazis, and how Germany's most-notorious human rights abuses began with violating the human rights of children with disabilities like autism. Evidence suggests that Germany's Christians unwittingly contributed to their catastrophic outcomes by remaining silent when speaking out might have made a difference. Today we see a growing trend of abuse against vulnerable people in the USA, and like Germany's Christians, we are not speaking out. It seems that without intelligent Christian opposition, the creep toward genocide in the USA has begun. We are now seeing the first indications of a genocidal tyranny which infected Germany, now appearing in the USA. It could soon grow up to overshadow the world's memory of Nazi Germany--but there is hope. This book offers biblically-sound, research-based evidence which intelligently refutes popular anti-biblical views on history, philosophy, and science. It also offers new possibilities for the discovery and defeat of prejudicial attitudes that have divided human populations for centuries. In these pages, the reader will find renewed confidence in the reliability of the scriptures while discovering the Bible's relevance to topics like genetics and DNA, the origins of human life, and the seat of human rights. Finally, the reader will understand why these Christian perspectives matter to all people everywhere, regardless of their personal religious inclinations.
Foster Care is at the heart of the Gospel. It’s easy to start, highly rewarding, and unlocks spiritual growth you never knew possible! The fact is, you are called by God to stand in the gap for vulnerable children in your community every day that need hope. You are heroic when you provide a safe home or even just simple supplies to a child that has nothing. To them, you are their hero! Dr. Bob Griffith and his wife Wendy tell their story of how God started a wave of impact in their church and community when they decided to obey James 1:27 and live out true religion. Through their story of loss, redemption, and miraculous conformation, you will be encouraged to help vulnerable children today and not wait for tomorrow. You will see how through foster care; you will live out the heart of the gospel in a fresh way and learn more about who God is than ever before! Every church wants to change their city in the name of Christ, but the question is how? The Griffith’s share how a few families stepped out in faith to foster children and their example started a movement within their church. As a result of their efforts, 30% of all the foster families in their county attended their local church. They provide real systems, scholarly research, and solutions used over 10 years that will help churches be a hero in their community through foster care ministry. The Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) believes that when every church and Christian does something to support foster children, the church will change the world!
Engaging Deconstructive Theology presents an evangelical approach for theological conversation with postmodern thinkers. Themes are considered from Derrida, Foucault, Mark C. Taylor, Rorty, and Cupitt, developing dialogue from an open-minded evangelical perspective. Ron Michener draws upon insights from radical postmodern thought and seeks to advance an apologetic approach to the Christian faith that acknowledges a mosaic of human sources including experience, literature, and the imagination.
