Resisting Tyranny : Covid, The Church, And Christian Duty
$18.81
Sincere believers are asking:
*As we watch the dying of the West and demise of the free world, how should Christians respond?
*Should the Church have any prophetic voice in society against tyranny and for freedom?
*How should Christians respond to coercion and mandates (masks, vaccines) in the workplace, at school, and elsewhere?
*Should believers defend human rights and civil liberties as coworkers, neighbours and citizens? If so, when and how do we resist tyranny without confusing the mission of the Church or harming our Christian witness?
*How do we know when political agendas have wrongly polarised us or not?
*What is the place of godly patriotism in the Great Commission, without confusing the cross and the flag?
*Is ‘For God and country’ a biblical motivation?
*What does being ‘gospel-centred’ mean when applying the gospel and Christ’s lordship to moral and ethical issues of our day?
*How do we think biblically about a theology of the face, and about free speech and dissent?
*What happens when the ‘tyranny of the weaker brother’ or the ‘greater good’ rules a church, a society?
*In seeking biblical answers to the above questions, what can we also learn from church history and modern examples?

“There are only two possible forms of government: Either people rule themselves and the government exists to protect that freedom; or government dominates people and they have no freedom. Right now we’re moving from the former to the latter. People are giving up their freedom in order for government to take care of them. To pull that off, you have to be lied to, truth must be obscured, chaos must reign. Then in the ignorance and confusion of it all, fear drives people to run to government for security. Cantrell unmasks that in this important book and offers a biblical response, showing the role of the Church as ‘the pillar of truth’ in a world of lies (1 Tim. 3:15). I’ve used this material extensively and can recommend it to you wholeheartedly.”

Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth
$22.99God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice.
Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn’t social is like talking about water that isn’t wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible’s call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to “truly execute justice.” The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to “test everything” and “hold fast to what is good.”
Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams, makes the case that we must be discerning if we are to “truly execute justice” as Scripture commands. Not everything called “social justice” today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice. Topics addressed include:
Racism
Sexuality
Socialism
Culture War
Abortion
Tribalism
Critical Theory
Identity PoliticsConfronting Injustice without Compromising Truth also brings in unique voices to talk about their experiences with these various social justice issues, including:
Michelle-Lee Barnwall
Suresh Budhaprithi
Eddie Byun
Freddie Cardoza
Becket Cook
Bella Danusiar
Monique Duson
Ojo Okeye
Edwin Ramirez
Samuel Sey
Neil Shenvi
Walt SobchakIn Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, Thaddeus Williams transcends our religious and political tribalism and challenges readers to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God’s image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life’s biggest questions.

Bruce Shelley’s classic history of the church brings the story of global Christianity into the twenty-first century. Like a skilled screenwriter, Shelley begins each chapter with three elements: characters, setting, plot. Taking readers from the early centuries of the church up through the modern era he tells his readers a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, provides a window into the circumstances and historical context, and from there develops the story of a major period or theme of Christian history. Covering recent events, this book also:
*Details the rapid growth of evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity in the southern hemisphere*Addresses the decline in traditional mainline denominations
*Examines the influence of technology on the spread of the gospel
*Discusses how Christianity intersects with other religions in countries all over the world
For this fifth edition, Marshall Shelley brought together a team of historians, historical theologians, and editors to revise and update this father’s classic text. The new edition adds important stories of the development of Christianity in Asia, India, and Africa, both in the early church as well as in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It also highlights the stories of women and non-Europeans who significantly influenced the development of Christianity but whose contributions are often overlooked in previous overviews of church history.
This concise book provides an easy-to-read guide to church history with intellectual substance. The new edition of Church History in Plain Language promises to set a new standard for readable church history.
