This volume brings together a prominent group of Christian
economists and theologians to provide an interdisciplinary look at
how we might use the tools of economic and theological reasoning to
cultivate more just and moral economies for the 21st century.
In this all-embracing Christian church history, E. H. Broadbent
details the growth, traditions and teachings of churches and
denominations through the ages. Intended as an introduction to
organized Christianity, the Pilgrim Church selects examples from
the time of Christ onward of Christian denominations. From the
beginning, Broadbent is keen to emphasize how gaps in history mean
much of the church history is simply obscured. How exactly
Christians almost two thousand years ago, or in the pre-Reformation
Middle Ages, worshipped and practiced their faith is simply a
mystery for theologians and historians. The central argument of
Broadbent's book is that the Catholic church, in its effort to
suppress divergence it deemed as heresy, destroyed much of the
evidence of other churches. Much of the book is composed with this
underpinning principle; a truth that resounds through the entire
text, which is informed by the undoubted scholarship of the author.
Life in this world is challenging. Brokenness and sin surround us. Controversies and confusion about complicated issues seem endless. It’s easy for Christians to be overwhelmed as they struggle to remain faithful to God’s teaching in a rapidly changing world. Along with the changes have come great problems and difficult questions.
What kind of future does Africa have? What, if anything, can the children of God do for their native lands and peoples?
Problems are not solved until we acknowledge them and face them openly, honestly, and courageously. In Biblical Christianity in Modern Africa, Wilbur O’Donovan addresses the problems facing the church in Africa from a biblical perspective. He wisely and boldly confronts issues that challenge the church in Africa, such as: Urbanization, Pornography, Poverty, False teaching, Broken marriages.
Denominationalism Although modern Africa’s problems are great, they are not intimidating to God. God does not change, and remembering what God did for his people in the past will help us know what he can do today. Biblical Christianity in Modern Africa reminds us that the wisdom of God is the answer to the problems of Africa today, just as they were to the people who lived thousands of years ago.
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature
according to its kind." At the beginning of creation, Adam and Eve
were holy, undefiled by sin, and it was that "kind," that
consecrated state of mind, that God commanded be reproduced. Of all
His commands, it is this command that both lost and saved have
chosen to obey. The lost, who see no need of God or His church,
reproduce after their kind: Like father, like son. Then look at the
saved and you'll find his "kind" in fellowship with God and with
His church: "Like father, like son." (LL157) Jerry Blout's series
of devotional messages give guidance to face every practical bump
on the road of our journey here on Earth. I found that in some of
these lessons, Jerry's personal experiences modeled many of my own,
and the counsel coming from the Bible verses he cites made me feel
I was hearing directly from Jesus. I highly recommend these
messages of life lessons to those who desire spiritual growth.
Pastor Randall James, Immediate Past Chairman Southern Baptist
Convention's Executive Committee I have been reading your daily
devotional messages and have been blessed. I know that Adrian would
be honored that you took his thoughts and wrote devotionals from
them. May God bless many lives through this book of devotional
thoughts. Joyce (Mrs. Adrian) Rogers
