by Craig L. Blomberg and Stephen E. Robinson
- Voted one of Christianity Today's 1998 Books of the Year

Cautions for Those Who Hear God's Voice

In those rare moments during a day when talking ceases or when we're ...

Reading a Century of German Mission Theology
Missiological Engagements
by John G. Flett and Henning Wrogemann
The gospel is for every tribe, tongue, and nation (Revelation 7:9), but there is no single biblical or theological model for the relationship between the gospel and these diverse cultures.

Christian Doctrine in Global Context
Edited by Gene L. Green, Stephen T. Pardue, and K. K. Yeo
More Christians now live in the Majority World than in Europe and North America. Yet most theological literature does not reflect the rising tide of Christian reflection coming from these regions. If we take seriously the Spirit's movement around the world, we must consider how the rich textures of Christianity in the Majority World can enliven, inform, and challenge all who are ...
