    Hearing God's Words

    Exploring Biblical Spirituality

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Peter Adam
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    Many discussions of Christian spirituality draw on a range of traditions and "disciplines." Little attention, however, appears to have been given to the Bible itself for its teaching on this theme or as a source of spirituality. Similarly, it is commonly assumed that, when it comes to spirituality, the evangelical tradition has little to offer. In response, Peter Adam urges us to renew our confidence ...

    Teaching the Faith, Forming the Faithful

    A Biblical Vision for Education in the Church

    by Gary A. Parrett and S. Steve Kang
    Foreword by J. I. Packer

    Why does the church teach? And what should it teach? In recent years, traditional Sunday school and education programs have declined in influence and effectiveness. Education in the church is often sidelined by other competing priorities, and our efforts become haphazard and random. As a result, many Christians have not learned the fundamental doctrinal content of the faith. As a response, a ...

    The Holy Spirit in Mission

    Prophetic Speech and Action in Christian Witness

    by Gary Tyra

Since the church's mission to and into the world is both evangelistic and prophetic, ...

    Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood ...
