In Building Unity in the Church of the New Millennium, Dr. Dwight
Perry and twenty other scholars and practitioners address
discrimination specifically within the evangelical church. But they
do not deal solely with racial discrimination, but also gender,
age, physical disability and class discrimination. "Dr. Dwight
Perry and a diverse group of gifted contributing authors use great
insight and wisdom in dealing with key contemporary issues that
threaten unity within the Body of Christ. Building Unity in the
Church f the New Millennium is sure to awaken in the heart of every
believer a desire for oneness and true scriptural unity. It is a
must-read for Christian leaders who are serious about
reconciliation and building bridges that will unite the fractured
church." Dr. Joseph Stowell, President, Cornerstone University
"This book leads us to a new, more holistic way of understanding
just what it is that separates us as Christians as well a how we
can work for a more united church." - Elisa Morgan, President
Emerita, MOPS International "My dear friend Dr. Dwight Perry has
done the body of Christ an invaluable service in putting together
Building Unity in the Church of the New Millennium ... The authors
speak from a biblical perspective on issues that have fragmented
and divided the church ... This is a clear, compelling call to
pursue and demonstrate the unity of the body of Christ ... You must
read this book " - Dr. Crawford Loritts, Jr., Senior Pastor,
Fellowship Bible Church, Roswell, GA; Author; Speaker; Radio Host;
former Associate Director, Campus Crusade for Christ, USA
Natural law has long been a cornerstone of Christian political
thought, providing moral norms that ground law in a shareable
account of human goods and obligations. Despite this history,
twentieth and twenty-first-century evangelicals have proved quite
reticent to embrace natural law, casting it as a relic of
scholastic Roman Catholicism that underestimates the import of
scripture and the division between Christians and non-Christians.
As recent critics have noted, this reluctance has posed significant
problems for the coherence and completeness of evangelical
political reflections. Responding to evangelically-minded thinkers'
increasing calls for a re-engagement with natural law, this volume
explores the problems and prospects attending evangelical
rapprochement with natural law. Many of the chapters are optimistic
about an evangelical re-appropriation of natural law, but note ways
in which evangelical commitments might lend distinctive shape to
this engagement.
