Reclaiming an Evangelical History of Activism In recent years,
there has been renewed interest by evangelicals in the topic of
biblical social justice. Younger evangelicals and millennials, in
particular, have shown increased concern for social issues. But
this is not a recent development. Following World War II, a new
movement of American evangelicals emerged who gradually increased
their efforts on behalf of justice. This work explains the
important historical context for evangelical reengagement with
social justice issues. The authors provide an overview of
post-World War II evangelical social justice and compassion
ministries, introducing key figures and seminal organizations that
propelled the rediscovery of biblical justice. They explore
historical and theological lessons learned and offer a way forward
for contemporary Christians.
This beautiful softcover economy outreach full-text Bible features the
New Living Translation, a clear, faithful rendering of God’s Word in
contemporary English. This Bible is designed to be used by churches,
ministries, and other Christian organizations for outreach efforts.
Features such as “Welcome to the Bible,” “How to Know Jesus
Personally,” “Where Can I Find It”, and “The Apostles’ Creed Bible
Reading Plan” provide helpful guidance to readers who may be
encountering the Bible for the first time or who need to reconnect with
its words of hope and healing.
In a post-9/11 world, Christian. Muslim. Friend. lays out a path
toward authentic friendship between Christians and Muslims. Most
similar books either teach Christians to evangelize Muslims or else
downplay their Christian commitments. The author, who has lived and
worked among and befriended Muslims for more than fifty years,
offers readers a third way: holding onto the Christ-centered
commitments of their faith while cultivating peaceful friendship
with Muslims.

chosen and edited by Alistair Begg, in order to bring the richness
of the Prince of Preachers' insights into your daily study of God's
Word. Features include: Introductory biography of Charles Spurgeon,

meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage

others.
