| N.T. Wright, a world-renowned New Testament scholar and bishop of Durham in the Church of England, has spent years studying the apostle Paul's writings and has offered a "fresh perspective" on Paul's theology. Among his conclusions are that "the discussions of justification in much of the history of the churchcertainly since Augustinegot off on the wrong foot, at least in terms of understanding Pauland they have stayed there ever since."Wright's confidence that the church has gotten it wrong for 1,500 years, given his enormous influence, has set off warning bells for Christian leaders such as John Piper, a pastor and New Testament scholar. If Wright's framework for interpreting the New Testament text and his understanding of justification find a home in the church, not only could the doctrine of justification be distorted for generations to come, but the New Testament writers' original intent could be silenced. So Piper is sounding a crucial warning in this book, reminding all Christians to exercise great caution regarding "fresh" interpretations of the Bible and to hold fast to the biblical view of justification. |

| Over the past several years churches have engaged in an ongoing debate between two different styles of worship, loosely categorized as traditional and contemporary. Here, professor and longtime pastor Ronald Byars argues that many of the differences between the two styles are superficial--and that ultimately both styles embrace the same anthropocentric worldview that grew out of the Enlightenment. Authentic worship, he challenges, is theocentric, not anthropocentric, and therefore worship can and must be both responsive to contemporary culture and grounded in history and tradition. The answer to the debate is not found in pleasing congregants but in exploring worship that is biblical, that honors our communion with the saints, and that takes seriously the ways that our culture is reshaping us. Byars concludes with a narrative description of a Protestant worship service that is both authentic and postmodern. |

| The Reality Check series makes just one assumption: that you9re serious enough about your spiritual journey to investigate Christianity with an open mind. This isn9t about joining anyone9s religious club_it9s about being real with yourself and with the others in your group. Since no one has all the answers, there9s plenty of room for discussion. After all, if there is any truth to the Bible9s stories about Jesus, then one thing he9d welcome are questions and opinions that come from honest, earnest hearts. What do you think the future holds? Right now it looks pretty scary. And Bible prophecy hardly brightens the picture_not with its mind-boggling images of singing saints, ten-horned monsters, mystical numbers, and a lake of fire. What does it all mean? Fortunately, it does mean something. A great deal. And while the Bible paints a grim future for a world bent on worshiping its own ways, it offers great hope for those whose hearts are set on God. Future Shock includes these sessions: Will Jesus Return This Year? * The Scroll Opener * After the Gavel Falls . . . * Ultimate Evil: The Antichrist, the Beast, and 666 * Happily Ever After? * Flight Training For the Group Leader Reality Check is for spiritual seekers of every persuasion. Uncompromisingly Christian in its perspective, it steers wide of pat answers and aims at honesty. This innovative and thought-provoking series will challenge you and those in your group to connect heart to heart as together you explore the interface between Jesus, the Bible, and the realities of this world in which we live. |

| In The Gagging of God, Professor D. A. Carson helps evangelicals respond with a clear, scholarly voice to the question, "Is Jesus the only way to God?" This book affirms the deep need for the Gospel's exclusive message in today's increasingly pluralistic global community. Most of the recent writings on religious pluralism have focused on specific aspects of the subject: shifts in Western thought and interpretation, the growing cultural and racial diversity of Western nations, the fraying of evangelical thought and life, and related topics. In contrast, The Gagging of God offers an in-depth look at the big picture. It shows how the many ramifications of pluralism are all parts of a whole, then offers a systemic Christian experience. |
