Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Western missionary movement, which the BJP portrayed as the villain of modern India, was, in fact, the most important force that created contemporary India. But thanks to Shourie’s books, the missionaries began to be accused of being dangerous CIA agents. #2 The sun does not have to set on the West. Europe and America can be revived. Light can again shine on nations that have been confused and misled by Western universities and media.

Cross and Culture

Autor: Kurt Mahlburg

Número de Páginas: 356

Is There Hope in the Chaos? Our civilisation is unstable. Everyone can feel it. We face a looming mental health crisis. Slavery, censorship and superstition are back. Our politics are polarising. All the affluence in the world can’t seem to quench our thirst for meaning and purpose. But maybe there is hope—if we know where to look. In this timely book, Kurt Mahlburg shows how profoundly the West has been shaped by the life and teachings of Jesus—from our democratic freedoms and our pursuit of reason and science to our belief that every life is precious. Could rediscovering Jesus be the answer to our crisis?

Expect Great Things, Attempt Great Things

Autor: Allen Yeh , Chris Chun

Número de Páginas: 152

William Carey, often dubbed "The Father of Modern Missions," and Adoniram Judson, America's first intercontinental missionary, were pioneers whose missions overlapped in chronology, geography, and purpose. However, rarely are they both featured in the same volume or compared and contrasted. Here we have unique material by some of the world's leading experts on these two giants of missionary history, with perspectives on these men in ways never seen before. Especially relevant to this current age of World Christianity are the perspectives from India and Burma, the lands which received these men for their missionary enterprise.

Discover profound insight into God's attributes and learn practical ways to live a God-centered life that bridges the gap between abstract theology and awe-inspiring devotion. The chief reason we exist is to glorify and enjoy God.

La traición de los filósofos

Autor: Edmundo Castillo Salazar

Número de Páginas: 1072

"La Corte y la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos muestran, en sus resoluciones, una acusada influencia del pensamiento filosófico de la posmodernidad, cuyas vertientes predominantes niegan la existencia de la verdad, la razón, la naturaleza y, ni digamos, la metafísica. Esto se advierte en temas controversiales como el aborto, el matrimonio igualitario y el inicio de la vida en la fecundación in vitro. Y no hay razones para suponer que -estos órganos interamericanos- seguirán un derrotero diferente en temas como la maternidad subrogada, la homoparentalidad y la eutanasia. Esto hace que cualquier “idea moral”, que haya podido estar en la base de los Derechos Humanos se desvanezca causando que, en lo sucesivo, estos Derechos evolucionen como productos ciegos de una dinámica social impuesta por los militantes de un pensamiento posmoderno y nihilista, que se instala progresivamente en la cultura. A la circunstancia anterior contribuye: i) El carácter mixto de un tribunal internacional, integrado con juristas de diferentes tradiciones jurídicas (Common Law y Civil Law), con un posicionamiento distinto frente a la norma jurídica escrita; ii) El impacto de las...

Kingdom Without Borders

Autor: Miriam Adeney

Número de Páginas: 299

The twenty-first century has opened with a rapidly changing map of Christianity. While its influence is waning in some of its traditional Western strongholds, it is growing at a phenomenal pace in the global South. And yet this story has largely eluded the corporate news brokers of the West. Layered as it is with countless personal and corporate stories of remarkable faith and witness, it nevertheless lies ghostlike behind the newsprint and webpages of our print media, outside the camera's vision on the network evening news. Miriam Adeney has lived, traveled and ministered widely. She has walked with Christians in and from the far reaches of the globe. As she pulls back the veil on real Christians--their faith, their hardships, their triumphs and, yes, their failures--an inspiring and challenging story of a kingdom that knows no borders takes shape. This is a book that coaxes us out of our comfortable lives. It beckons us to expand our vision and experience of the possibilities and promise of a faith that continues to shape lives, communities and nations.

Au secours, je suis Sioniste!

Autor: Timothée Larribau

Número de Páginas: 186

Le Sionisme est un sujet qui divise à notre époque. Pour beaucoup, synonyme de nazisme, d'apartheid, de brutalité policière et militaire, de colonialisme décomplexé, d'extrémisme religieux de droite, d'ultra-libéralisme capitaliste inhumain et d'organisation d'une stratégie mondiale de domination et de contrôle des masses par la peur et la finance. Pour moi, il représente des valeurs positives et humanistes et qui n'ont rien en commun avec ces terribles accusations. Face à ce décalage de perception, l me fallait me livrer à une introspection: Ai-je glissé vers une affreuse noirceur d'âme ou bien beaucoup de mes contemporains font-ils une abyssale méprise au sujet du Sionisme?

Simple comme bonjour : Annoncer Dieu au quotidien

Autor: Jérémy De Pablos , Alexandre De Pablos

Número de Páginas: 160

Arrivez-vous à témoigner facilement de votre foi chrétienne autour de vous ? Êtes-vous plutôt du genre à saisir toutes les occasions pour parler de Dieu, ou au contraire un tantinet discret, voire complètement muet sur le sujet ? Soyons réalistes, la grande motivation dont nous avons été animés le dimanche matin sur les bancs de l'église retombe souvent comme un soufflet quand il s'agit de passer à l'action. Alexandre et Jérémie de Pablos sont des passionnés de l'évangélisation : que ce soit auprès de leurs amis, dans le cadre professionnel, dans la rue, en boîte de nuit ou chez le coiffeur, toutes les occasions sont bonnes. Car pour eux, l'évangélisation est avant tout une rencontre humaine, gratuite, sans obligation de résultat. Pourtant, il n'est pas rare qu'elle débouche sur un temps de prière authentique et une vie touchée par Dieu. Mais quel est leur secret ? Dans ce premier ouvrage, ils proposent un enseignement solide et très pratique pour avoir toutes les cartes en mains.

The Oxford Handbook of Ecclesiology

Autor: Paul Avis

Número de Páginas: 1132

The Oxford Handbook of Ecclesiology is a unique scholarly resource for the study of the Christian Church as we find it in the Bible, in history, and today. As the scholarly study of how we understand the Christian Church's identity and mission, ecclesiology is at the centre of today's theological research, reflection, and debate. Ecclesiology is the theological driver of the ecumenical movement. The main focus of the intense ecumenical engagement and dialogue of the past half-century has been ecclesiological and this is the area where the most intractable differences remain to be tackled. Ecclesiology investigates the Church's manifold self-understanding in relation to a number of areas: the origins, structures, authority, doctrine, ministry, sacraments, unity, diversity, and mission of the Church, including its relation to the state and to society and culture. The sources of ecclesiological reflection are the Bible (interpreted in the light of scholarly research), Church history, and the wealth of the Christian theological tradition, together with the information and insights that emerge from other relevant academic disciplines. This Handbook considers the biblical resources,...

EMPOWERED! Discovering Your Place in God's Story

Autor: Stuart Simpson

Número de Páginas: 290

Surveys indicate that most Christians feel disempowered. Wrong (dualistic) thinking, which separates the whole of life into 'spiritual' and 'secular', and creates a division within the Church between those in 'full‐time' ministry and those who are not, has robbed many believers of the joy of knowing their life can make a difference. The purpose of this book is to help give every Christian believer the realization that they have a special, God-given role and place in the fulfillment of God's Story and the Great Commission. Our life‐story fits into God's bigger story (HIStory). Our mission and purpose in life, fits within his global mission and purpose. God is calling us today towards the consummation of his story and his mission. This task is not just for church workers or overseas missionaries. Whatever your vocation in life, you have a destiny to fulfill and a unique contribution to make. With practical tools and study questions.

Compelling evidence that the Bible is God's Holy Word. Using the memorable acronym MAPS, radio host and Bible scholar Hank Hanegraaff masterfully reveals four proofs that confirm the divine origin of the Bible. M represents the strength of the manuscript itself as many actual fragments have been located A stands for the archaeological proofs that have been uncovered P is for the prophecy that has accurately predicted events S represents the scriptural synergy found in the unity, consistency, and harmony of the sixty-six books These clearly presented proofs provide powerful indicators that confirm the trustworthiness and divine nature of Scripture, that God has indeed spoken, and that the Bible is the reliable repository of His words.

Christianity and Eastern Religions

Autor: Rose Publishing

Número de Páginas: 47

A century ago the average person knew little to nothing about Eastern religions like Buddhism or Hinduism. But as globalization has brought the East and West together, eastern religious teachings and practices are rapidly influencing more and more western culture and beliefs. For example, in 1900 an estimated 1% of North Americans believed in Hindu or Buddhist reincarnation compared with approximately 25% of the U.S. population who believe in reincarnation today. With missionary zeal, Hindu gurus and Buddhist monks—such as the Dali Lama of Tibetan Buddhism and the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi of Transcendental Meditation—have traveled to the West to spread their beliefs. Some eastern religious beliefs and practices have been popularized in western culture through meditation, feng shui, martial arts, acupuncture, and Asian medicine. But the foundational beliefs of the eastern religious worldview remain in stark contrast to the Christian worldview. Christianity and Eastern Religions helps Christians understand their own beliefs as well as those of other religions. The pamphlet contains a detailed comparison of Christianity with 11 Eastern religions, including the major types of...

God and Governing

Autor: Roger N. Overton

Número de Páginas: 145

Abortion. Poverty. Pornography. More than thirty years ago evangelical conservatives, moderates, and liberals alike began tackling these and other major social problems head on through concerted political effort. The intervening decades witnessed the rise of groups such as the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition, which supported numerous politicians and religiously driven policies. Why is it, then, that despite the seemingly great potential of these and other similar groups, the same pervading social problems still persist? How is it that evangelicals have been so ineffective at changing the political and social landscape of the United States in a positive way? Based on a conference organized by Trinity Law School, God and Governing brings together theologians, politicians, law professors, and cultural critics in order to examine the root causes of evangelical political failure over the past thirty years. With a Foreword by Charles Colson, the additional contributors and the topic of their respective essays include: David Wells - Why Being Good is so Political Paul Marshall - The Travails of Evangelical Politics Os Guinness - The Golden Triangle of Freedom Patrick Nolan -...

Sonic Theology

Autor: Guy L. Beck

Número de Páginas: 310

A comparative approach to understanding the centrality of sound to Hindu religious practices The Hindu world is permeated by sound: drums, bells, gongs, cymbals, conches, flutes, and an array of vocalizations play a central role in worship. Guy L. Beck contends that the traditional Western focus on Hinduism's visual component has often been at the expense of the religion's most important feature—its emphasis on sound. In Sonic Theology Beck addresses this longstanding imbalance, contending that Hinduism is essentially a sonic theology. Beck argues that sound participates at every level of the Hindu cosmos. Comparing the centrality of sound in Hindu theology to its place in other religions, Beck raises issues about sound and language that not only reshape our understanding of Hindu worship but also invite a fresh approach to comparative theology.
