The ministry is more than preaching, but preaching is its priority.
This conviction is one Dr. Ngien has lived and worked with. As a
sequel to A Faith Worth Believing, Commending and Living, and
Giving Wings to the Soul, Interpretation of Love: God's Love and
Ours is a third collection of sermons and talks, preached with
rigor and humor, reverence and relevance. Basic to the book is the
assertion that the one possessed of a penetrating eye, coupled with
a compassionate heart, could interpret, and thus be an effective
agency of love. We are saved not so that we might be good, but so
that we are God's--chosen and set apart to be his holy, beloved
family. Because we are his, we are to dress ourselves differently
(Col. 3:12-13). The wardrobe of the holy saints is full of love.
The imperative of the new self is to reflect Christ's holiness in
the way that we relate to each other. The selfishness that was at
the core of our existence now gives way to a loving self-sacrifice
for the good of others, resulting in a theology of radical
reversal, which is the theology of a holy life: (i) compassion
instead of contempt for or indifference to others; (ii) kindness
instead of malice; (iii) humility instead of arrogance; (iv)
gentleness instead of rudeness; (v) patience instead of anger; (vi)
forbearance instead of resentment; and (vii) forgiveness instead of
revenge. This is the fruit of Christ's redemptive act on the cross
manifest in those who live in joyous obedience and willful
submission to the Holy Spirit. Readers will be drawn into the depth
of biblical and theological truths presented with anecdotes and
antidotes. "Divested of scholarly language, Ngien's disarmingly
simple treatise on love exposes a compassionate, humble mind that
revels in scholarly exegesis while redeeming a word divested of
meaning in a secularized society. From the pen of a man who oft
quips that 'good theology is a good apologetic' comes an
interpretation of love that, if practiced, would transform society
and retrieve the identity of veritable disciples of Christ." --Ken
Gamble, MD, President, Missionary Health Institute, Toronto "It has
been my privilege to know Dennis Ngien for many years. He is the
rare scholar-pastor who combines sublimity, simplicity, and
truth-telling with great compassion. His sermons always refresh and
challenge me, and I know this new collection will minister to you
as well. I enthusiastically recommend An Interpretation of Love."
--Ravi Zacharias, Author and Speaker Dennis Ngien is Professor of
Systematic Theology at Tyndale University College and Seminary in
Toronto and Research Scholar in Theology at Blackfriars Hall,
Oxford University. He is the author of seven books including The
Suffering of God's according to Martin Luther's "Theologia Crucis"
(1995) and Apologetic for Filioque in Medieval Theology (2005). A
founder of the Centre for Mentorship and Theological Reflection, he
focuses on mentoring scholars, pastors, church leaders, and
theological students.
