The Layman's Manual on Christian Apologetics

Bridging the Essentials of Apologetics from the Ivory Tower to the Everyday Christian

By: Brian G. Chilton

Modern Christians have been bombarded by objections launched against the Christian faith from popular secular authors, bloggers, and stars from the entertainment industry. The church is quickly beginning to acknowledge the need for apologetics due to the number of youth and adults alike leaving the faith. But how does one respond to these objections? For the laity of the church, this is especially difficult, as many are left without the proper training to know how to answer these objections. In The Layman’s Manual on Christian Apologetics, the essentials of apologetics are taken from the ivory towers of academia and are made available to those who have not obtained seminary training or for those thinking about attending seminary. In this book, three major areas of apologetics are covered. The first unit engages the nature of truth and what can be known. The second unit deals with the existence of God and issues involving God’s existence. The last unit tackles historical objections to the resurrection of Jesus and early Christianity. The Layman’s Manual on Christian Apologetics delivers heavy apologetic issues with the laity in mind and blends in personal illustrations to make the material applicable.

Conversations about Heaven

Difficult Questions about Our Eternal Home

By: Brian G. Chilton

Will heaven be boring? What will God and heaven look like? Will I enjoy heaven? Are animals in heaven? These questions, among others, often enter the hearts and minds of people envisioning their final heavenly home. Often, theologians and pastors have placed unnecessary restrictions on heaven, whereas others have claimed that heaven should not be discussed because of so many uncertainties. But is this helpful? Furthermore, is it even biblical? In the book Conversations about Heaven, Dr. Brian Chilton reflects on a conversation he had with a lady from Huntsville Baptist Church who asked some of the most challenging questions he ever received. They both discovered that if God is the greatest possible being and heaven is God’s greatest gift, then heaven is a place that is far greater than anything ever imagined. Conversations about Heaven challenges you to vastly expand your thoughts on heaven, as heaven will far exceed even our greatest imaginations, and it encourages you to regularly reflect on the great things that lie ahead in your heavenly home.

Bearings

Getting Our Bearings Again in the Light of the Gospel

By: Dave Andrews,Helen Beazley

How does Jesus, and the ancient Scriptures he held sacred, help us get our bearings in this multifarious, complicated, conflicted, and increasingly endangered planet? First, seek theological insight that can guide our practice. In Navigating the Meanings of Being a Christian, Mark Deleaney invites us on his journey of theological reflection twenty years after his certainties were shaken by a life-changing encounter in an Indian slum. In Evangelism in a Pluralist Society, Ross Farley applies his experience of evangelism in sensitive contexts to a careful review of evangelism in the New Testament and finds that what we call evangelism bears little relationship to the Gospel and Acts. On the subject of HIV epidemics, Greg Manning and Dave Andrews have joined the struggle to reduce HIV infection rates and witnessed the stigmatization of vulnerable people based on misapplied Christian moral teaching. In Supporting HIV Prevention as People of Faith, they consider the Sermon on the Mount as a valuable framework for dealing sensitively and effectively with people vulnerable to HIV infection. Second, critically reflect on possible distortions that come from our own perspectives. In his essay Liberation Theologians Speak to Evangelicals, Charles Ringma shows how Liberation Theologians can shed light on the inadequacies of the evangelical movement in its perspective on God's love for the poor. Helen Beazley's essay Antidote for a Poisoned Planet? examines whether stewardship--the dominant framework informing evangelical perspectives on the environment--can alone radically reorient Christians in their relationship to creation so necessary for its renewal. Third, look for the challenges in the Bible that critique our current orientations and call us to be reconverted. In An Evangelical Approach to Interfaith Engagement, Dave Andrews takes one of our most precious articles of exclusive faith, Jesus is the Way, and makes it a framework for inclusive interfaith dialogue by exploring the Way that Jesus in the Gospels advocated engaging with people from other traditions and religions. In Australia--Whose Land? Peter Adams allows himself to be utterly transformed by the Bible's clear ethical teaching, which, he convincingly argues, must be applied in all its fullness to the injustice of Europeans towards indigenous Australians.

Unconditional?

Small group discussion guide

By: Brian Zahnd

This is a six-week small group discussion guide for the Brian Zahnd book, Unconditional? It provides material and instruction for studying Unconditional? is a small group setting. Each week readers will prepare at home by reading the chapter from Unconditional? that corresponds with the week's study. Each week's study is broken into five sections. They are all key parts of learning to practice Christ's radical vision of forgiveness. The READ sections of each chapter explain what to read at home, and they give a brief summary of the main parts in those chapters. The REFLECT sections are intended to get you into the Word so you can study the topic before the discussion begins. That way everyone will have had time to think deeply about these concepts before talking them over with the group. The DISCUSS sections are just that--questions for you to discuss and explore together as a group. Ideas for continuing the application of the important truths in each chapter will be found in the WRAP UP section at the end of each chapter. Each chapter ends with a POWER WORD, motivating readers to write God's Words on your heart, and to grow in your knowledge and understanding of Christlike forgiveness.

The Genesis Effect

Personal and Organizational Transformations

By: Brian P. Hall

What are your values? What impact do they have on your personal growth, your family life, your professional life? 'The Genesis Effect is' a groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between values and growth. Bringing twenty years of research to his subject, Dr. Brian P. Hall shows how human, spiritual, and institutional growth are interconnected and form a dynamic whole. The author explains how values develop when a person's internal images and ideas interact with the external world. The Genesis Effect is the growth that takes place when these values create transformations in ourselves, in others, and in the organizations we belong to.

The Therapy of the Christian Body

A Theological Exposition of Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, Volume 2

By: Brian Brock,Bernd Wannenwetsch

The troubles and ills of the church today can only be understood and healed when Christians begin to face up to their hidden alliances with the Corinthians of the first century and embrace both the Apostle’s diagnosis and therapy offered in the epistle. This is the challenge of The Malady and Therapy of the Christian Body, a two-volume commentary by two leading theologians that presents the fruits of a reading strategy that deliberately reflects ecclesial commitment by “reading the Apostle over against ourselves.” Sharing their discoveries about the way Paul deals with questions of factionalism, sexuality, legal conflict, idolatry, dress codes, and eating habits, Brock and Wannenwetsch demonstrate how neither the malady nor the therapy that Paul describes conforms to dominant analyses of the malaise of the contemporary church, which tend to be as “organ centered” as modern medicine. The authors describe the way the Apostle engages in “feeling-into” the organic whole of the body in order to detect blockages to the healthy flow of powers by redirecting their vision to how God is working among them toward the “building up” of the Christian body. The book breaks new ground in crossing the traditional disciplinary boundaries between biblical studies, systematic theology, and theological ethics.

Trust the Process

Trust the Process

By: Brian L. Darden

Have you ever felt like you were being punished for doing good? Have you suffered setbacks even though you have stepped up and taken over in uncertain and shaky situations? Or maybe you have been passed up on promotions because of forces of darkness that you didn't even know were against you? Have you been "persecuted for righteousness' sake"? Trust the Process can help you navigate some of life's challenges. What I have learned and am still learning is sometimes what God has for you is bigger than the place that you are in. What you are going through isn't fair, and it seems like around every corner the enemy is trying to make you give up. The dream God has placed in you is too big; the vision just seems to be so far out of reach because of your current situation. Your dreams and visions require resources that physically seem impossible, and your soul is in anguish because it feels like you have been believing in a move of God for a lifetime. Trust the Process will shine some light in these uncertain and trying times.

Boundaries

Rediscovering the Ten Commandments for the Twenty-First Century

By: Brian N. Winslade

In an age of moral relativity, is there a place for rules? They govern acceptable behavior on the sports field, but do they have a position in general life and relationships? 3,500 years ago, a new nation emerged as Moses led the Israelites on a journey toward the land God had promised them. They needed boundaries that would govern their worship, interpersonal relationships, and property, and God wrote them down. We refer to them as the Ten Commandments. Over the centuries, they have formed the basis for rule of law in most countries of the world, defining boundaries of fairness and interaction, within which we live and have our being. But are they still relevant in and for the twenty-first century? Some regard them as anachronistic and outdated, superseded by more enlightened thinking. For others, they are timeless. Clearly, Jesus regarded them as pertinent for all who follow him, although in many instances he clarified their intent and application. This book takes a fresh look at the boundaries God gave his emerging special race and how they apply in our current age—a resource for pastors, individual Christ-followers, and a discussion-starter for small groups.
