Every Christian, church leader and layperson alike, has been called
by Christ to make disciples. But often there is so much focus in
our churches on the first part of Christ's
command--evangelism--that the second part--teaching new believers
to obey all that Christ commanded--is forgotten. New believers find
themselves on their own, trying to figure out what their new life
is supposed to look like.
In this well-loved book, Bill Hull explains why disciple-making
must be the focus of every believer's life and shows how each of us
can do it. With practical examples drawn from vast ministry
experience, Hull helps the church deepen and enrich the lives of
believers as they learn to truly follow Christ.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
To think with Nietzsche against Nietzsche. Thus the editors
describe the strategy adopted in this volume to soften the
destructive effects of Nietzsche's philosophy with a hammer on
French philosophy since the 1960s. Frustrated by the infinite
inclusiveness of deconstructionism, the contributors to this volume
seek to renew the Enlightenment quest for rationality. Though
linked by no common dogma, these essays all argue that the French
Nietzsche transmitted through the deconstructionists must be
reexamined in light of the original context in which Nietzsche
worked. Each essay questions the viability of Nietzsche's thought
in the modern world, variously critiquing his philosophy of history
as obsessed with hierarchy, his views on religion and art as myopic
and irrational, and his stance on science as hopelessly
reactionary. Contending that we must abandon the Nietzsche propped
up as patron saint by French deconstructionists in order to return
to reason, these essays will stimulate debate not just among
Nietzscheans but among all with a stake in modern French
philosophy. Contributors are Alain Boyer, Andre Compte-Sponville,
Vincent Descombes, Luc Ferry, Robert Legros, Philippe Raynaud,
Alain Renault, and Pierre-Andre Taguieff.
With the publication of French Philosophy of the Sixties, Alain
Renaut and Luc Ferry in 1985 launched their famous critique against
canonical figures such as Foucault, Derrida, and Lacan, bringing
under rigorous scrutiny the entire post-structuralist project that
had dominated Western intellectual life for over two decades. Their
goal was to defend the accomplishments of liberal democracy,
particularly in terms of basic human rights, and to trace the
reigning philosophers' distrust of liberalism to an "antihumanism"
inherited mainly from Heidegger. In The Era of the Individual,
widely hailed as Renaut's magnum opus, the author explores the most
salient feature of post-structuralism: the elimination of the human
subject. At the root of this thinking lies the belief that humans
cannot know or control their basic natures, a premise that led to
Heidegger's distrust of an individualistic, capitalist modern
society and that allied him briefly with Hitler's National
Socialist Party. While acknowledging some of Heidegger's misgivings
toward modernity as legitimate, Renaut argues that it is
nevertheless wrong to equate modernity with the triumph of
individualism. Here he distinguishes between individualism and
subjectivity and, by offering a history of the two, powerfully
redirects the course of current thinking away from potentially
dangerous, reductionist views of humanity. Renaut argues that
modern philosophy contains within itself two opposed ways of
conceiving the human person. The first, which has its roots in
Descartes and Kant, views human beings as subjects capable of
arriving at universal moral judgments. The second, stemming from
Leibniz, Hegel, and Nietzsche, presents human beings as independent
individuals sharing nothing with others. In a careful recounting of
this philosophical tradition, Renaut shows the resonances of these
traditions in more recent philosophers such as Heidegger and in the
social anthropology of Louis Dumont. Renaut's distinction between
individualism and subjectivity has become an important issue for
young thinkers dissatisfied with the intellectual tradition
originating in Nietzsche and Heidegger. Moreover, his proclivity
toward the Kantian tradition, combined with his insights into the
shortcomings of modernity, will interest anyone concerned about
today's shifting cultural attitudes toward liberalism. Originally
