Gaining form and momentum over the second half of the 20th century,
the Church Growth movement has become an enormous shaping force on
the Western church today. You may love it, you may hate it, but you
can t deny its impact. But what exactly is Church Growth? In what
ways has the movement actually brought growth to the church, and
how effective has it been in doing so? What are its strengths and
weaknesses? This timely book addresses such questions. After
providing a richly informative history and overview, it
explores---in a first-ever roundtable of their leading
voices---five main perspectives, both pro and con, on the classic
Church Growth movement: *Effective Evangelism View (Elmer Towns)
*Gospel in Our Culture View (Craig Van Gelder) *Centrist View
(Charles Van Engen) *Reformist View (Gailyn Van Rheenan) *Renewal
View (Howard Snyder) As in other Counterpoints books, each view is
first presented by its proponent, then critiqued by his
co-contributors. The book concludes with reflections by three
seasoned pastors who have grappled with the practical implications
of Church Growth. The interactive and fair-minded nature of the
Counterpoints format allows the reader to consider the strengths
and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal
conclusions. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for
comparison and critique of different views on issues important to
Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life
and Exploring Theology. Complete your library with other books in

Can we have a world that reflects God's goals rather than our own?
And what does that mean for us and for our environment? Our problem
is not just polluted rivers or a changing climate or an unjust
economic system. Our problem is that our rebellion against God has
consequences. If the ideas Ed Brown articulates here are taken
seriously, they will force us to rethink everything we do as human
beings.
Is evil evidence against the existence of God? Even if God and
evil are compatible, it remains hotly contested whether evil
renders belief in God unreasonable. The Evidential Argument from
Evil presents five classic statements on this issue by eminent
philosophers and theologians and places them in dialogue with
eleven original essays reflecting new thinking by these and other
scholars. The volume focuses on two versions of the argument. The
first affirms that there is no reason for God to permit either
certain specific horrors or the variety and profusion of undeserved
suffering. The second asserts that pleasure and pain, given their
biological role, are better explained by hypotheses other than
theism.

Russell, Eleonore Stump, Richard G. Swinburne, Peter van Inwagen,
