    The Truth About Tolerance

    Pluralism, Diversity and the Culture Wars

    by Brad Stetson and Joseph G. Conti

    We all want to be tolerant. No one wants to be intolerant. But does that mean we have to accept all truth claims as true? Does this virtue rule out having any strongly held moral convictions? In this book Brad Stetson and Joseph G. Conti explore the use and misuse of this important value in academic circles and popular media. They note that the pursuit of truth and the pursuit of tolerance ...

    Addiction and Virtue

    Beyond the Models of Disease and Choice

    Strategic Initiatives in Evangelical Theology

    by Kent Dunnington

    What is the nature of addiction? Neither of the two dominant models (disease or choice) adequately accounts for the experience of those who are addicted or of those who are seeking to help them.

    Christ in Conflict

    Lessons from Jesus and His Controversies

    by John Stott

    We often imagine Jesus as the ultimate peacemaker, as one who saw all sides and kindly overlooked differences of belief or practice. The Gospels say this was not so. Jesus drew sharp lines.

What conflicts did he have?

    From Antecedents to Opportunities

    by Richard Rice

    Open theism has reached its adolescence. How did it get here? And where does it go from here?

  • Liturgical Theology: The Church as Worshiping Community, By Simon  Chan
    paperback

    Liturgical Theology

    The Church as Worshiping Community

    by Simon Chan

    Bad worship produces bad theology, and bad theology produces an unhealthy church. In Liturgical Theology, Simon Chan issues a call to evangelicals to develop a mature theology of the church--an ecclesiology that is grounded in the church's identity as a worshiping community. Evangelicals, he argues, are confused about the meaning and purpose of the church in part because they have an inadequate ...
