Gospel Witness
Author: David M. Gustafson
Publisher: Eerdmans
ISBN: 9780802876805
Category : Church
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Verbally sharing the gospel is only part of evangelism, asserts author David Gustafson. We must also live out the good news, both as individuals and as communities. In this book Gustafson expertly lays out the foundations of and approaches to evangelism that are crucial for the church today. In light of our increasingly post-Christian Western contexts, Gustafson offers a mission-oriented ecclesiology that moves from missional theory to practices of missional engagement. Introduc-ing "God's human drama" as a way to explain the gospel within God's redemptive story, he outlines specific ways for pastors and church leaders to shape a "gospeling" culture within their congregations. Gustafson's biblical, theological, historical, cultural, and practical approach will make this book an ideal text for evangelical pastors, professors, students, and Christian leaders.

Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus Christ, and the Gospel of John
Author: Robert M. Bowman
Publisher: Baker Publishing Group (MI)
ISBN: 9780801009556
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
"'...And the word was a god.' This mistranslation of John 1:1 by Jehovah's Witnesses has been vigorously refuted by Christians, and rightly so. Now, because the JWs have changed their line of reasoning in defending this key text, past refutations are obsolete. The new JW arguments are more sophisticated and their line of reasoning is far more subtle. To meet these new and dangerous misconceptions, this book focuses on the implications of the mistranslation of John 1:1 and John 8:58. Fallacies are exposed and dismissed in precise language that can be easily misunderstood by laypersons who have no knowledge of Greek. The misconceptions and mistranslations so enthusiastically propounded by JWs no longer need to be intimidating. Christians can intelligently and easily counterattack, using the clear and convincing evaluations given in this book" -- BACK COVER.

Cold-Case Christianity
Author: J. Warner Wallace
Publisher: David C Cook
ISBN: 1434705463
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
