  Church History In Plain Language

  $39.99

  Over 330,000 copies sold. This is the story of the church for today’s readers.

  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.

  Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth

  $22.99

  God 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 Politics

  Confronting 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 Sobchak

  In 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.
