The Sermon on the Mount in Our Secular Age
Author: Douglas D. Webster
Publisher: Regent College Publishing
ISBN: 9781573835800
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
"With his characteristic balance, which avoids the common pitfalls of spiritually anemic superficiality or spiritually oppressive moralism, Doug Webster reclaims the Sermon on the Mount as the key to a robust, grace-centered life in Christ. Through a trenchant analysis of the unique features and cross pressures of our secular age, Webster reveals why this is still the best sermon ever preached. Webster's guide to the Jesus way is necessary for every follower of Christ today. I highly recommend it." --Jason Harris, Central Presbyterian Church, Manhattan, New York "I've read many commentaries on the Sermon on the Mount with great benefit, but none of them have related Jesus' classic message to the twenty-first century like Douglas Webster's short overview. With references to Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Newbigin, Taylor, Hunter, and many others, Doug shows us, at a deep level, how radical this sermon really is. After you read this and think about it, you'll want to ask God to help you be an authentic follower of Jesus in our age." --Sandy Willson, pastor emeritus, Second Presbyterian Church, Memphis Douglas D. Webster (PhD, University of St. Michael's College, University of Toronto) is professor of pastoral theology and Christian preaching at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama. He was the senior pastor at First Presbyterian Church of San Diego (1993-2007) and has taught at Tyndale Seminary in Toronto, Canada, and served churches in Toronto, Bloomington, Indiana, and Denver, Colorado.

Book Description
Why do scientists do experiments? What do their experiments reveal? Scientifically, can we decide what to believe? Is evolution a scientific theory? Such apparently simple questions are brilliantly investigated by celebrated philosopher and professor Alan Musgrave in order to interrogate the worldviews we inhabit and their consequences. Musgrave brings to these questions an expansive historical knowledge, provoking readers to enter the now-discredited belief-systems of earlier ages in order to compare these with their own beliefs. Discursive, entertaining, and provocative, Secular Sermons contains fourteen essays by Musgrave New Zealand's leading contemporary philosopher examining the basic assumptions of science, religion, and mathematics.

The Sacred Secular
Author: Dottie Escobedo-Frank
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1501810456
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
The Sacred Secular examines cultural spaces where people are experiencing something sacred. These places are not in the church. They’re in yoga studios, neighborhood potlucks, and TED Talks. Dottie Escobedo-Frank and Rob Rynders see lessons for the church in these spaces. They see new ways we can convey to people that the church is uniquely sacred and significant and that Jesus is for them. These glimpses into the sacred-secular will inspire creative church leaders to set aside their assumptions about what church looks like. The Sacred Secular nurtures empowerment, creativity, spiritual movement, and the courage to embody the sacredness and substance of our faith. “Many of us in the church (including clergy) feel we have more in common with the ‘spiritual but not religious’ than we have with lots of church folks these days. We are just as spiritually hungry and thirsty as ever, but we’re open to finding God in surprising places and spaces . . . including ‘secular’ ones. This beautifully written book is all about that phenomenon. I think you’re going to love it.” —Brian D. McLaren, author/speaker, brianmclaren.net “Be prepared to hear contemporary stories akin to the Apostle Peter discovering God in an ‘outsider’—Cornelius—in twenty-first–century urban America. This book is a jewel from two missional church practitioners in The United Methodist Church. It offers wisdom, vision, creativity, and humility that will mark the gospel-bearing church of the future. I highly recommend The Sacred Secular to pastors, church planters, and laity who want their congregations to know how to develop culturally connected faith communities in our rapidly changing world.” —Elaine A. Heath, Dean, Duke Divinity School, Duke University, Durham, NC

Jesus Among Secular Gods
Author: Ravi Zacharias
Publisher: FaithWords
ISBN: 1455569143
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale defend the absolute claims of Christ against modern belief in the "secular gods" of atheism, scientism, relativism, and more. The rise of these secular gods presents the most serious challenge to the absolute claims of Christ since the founding of Christianity itself. The Christian worldview has not only been devalued and dismissed by modern culture, but its believers are openly ridiculed as irrelevant. In Jesus Among Secular Gods, Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale challenge the popular "isms" of the day, skillfully pointing out the fallacies in their claims and presenting compelling evidence for revealed absolute truth as found in Jesus. This book is fresh, insightful, and important, and faces head on today's most urgent challenges to Christian faith. It will help seekers to explore the claims of Christ and will provide Christians with the knowledge to articulate why they believe that Jesus stands tall above all other gods.
