In The Day the Revolution Began Tom Wright invites you to consider
the full meaning of the event at the heart of the Christian faith -
Jesus' crucifixion. As he did in his acclaimed Surprised by Hope,
Wright once again challenges commonly held beliefs, this time
arguing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in
reshaping our understanding of the Cross. With his characteristic
rigour and incisiveness, he goes back to the New Testament to show
that Jesus' death not only releases us from the guilt and power of
sin, but is nothing less than the beginning of a world-wide
revolution that continues to this day - a revolution that creates
and energizes a movement responsible for restoring and reconciling
the whole of God's creation. The Day the Revolution Began will take
you to a new level in your appreciation of the meaning of Jesus'
sacrifice: opening up its powerful and amazing implications,
inspiring you with a renewed sense of purpose and hope, and
reminding you of the crucial role you can play in the
world-transforming movement that Jesus started.
Based in the riches of Christian worship and tradition, this brief,
eloquently written introduction to Christian thinking and worldview
helps readers put back together again faith and reason, truth and
beauty, and the fragmented academic disciplines. By reclaiming the
classic liberal arts and viewing disciplines such as science and
mathematics through a poetic lens, the author explains that unity
is present within diversity. Now repackaged with a new foreword by
Ken Myers, this book will continue to benefit parents,
homeschoolers, lifelong learners, Christian students, and readers
interested in the history of ideas.
Would you recognize an angel if you saw one? The majority of
earth's inhabitants believe in Angels. Yet so few of us can claim
to have seen one. Why? Perhaps it's because in order to encounter
one, we first have to learn what to look for, and how to look! We
live in a world where the natural and supernatural overlap. Angels
are constantly on mission from God, and constantly at work in this
world. From the Garden of Eden to the Book of Revelation, Scripture
is filled with hundreds of references to these wondrous creatures.
In this creative work, Scot McKnight explores what the Bible says -
and doesn't say - about these majestic beings. And that's deeply
important, because angels are still on mission today. They express
God's love, confirm His presence, and even lead humans in
redemptive worship. Don't just believe in angels. Learn how to
recognise these messengers of God that are all around us and know
how God might be using them to affect our lives.
