IVP Print On Demand Title“Scant decades ago most Westerners agreed that…lifelong monogamy was ideal…mothers should stay home with the children…premarital sex was to be discouraged …heterosexuality was the unquestioned norm…popular culture should not corrupt children. Today not a single one of these expectations is uncontroversial.” So writes Rodney Clapp in assessing the status of the family in postmodern Western society. In response many evangelicals have been quick to defend the so-called traditional family, assuming that it exemplifies the biblical model. Clapp challenges that assumption, arguing that the “traditional” family is a reflection more of the nineteenth-century middle-class family than of any family one can find in Scripture. At the same time, he recognizes that many modern and postmodern options are not acceptable to Christians. Returning to the biblical story afresh, Clapp articulates a challenge to both sides of a critical debate.

Discipleship Of The Mind
$30.99Christians who are serious about their faith want to love God with all that they are-heart and mind and strength.

After looking at the atitudes toward God and ourselves necessary for the journey, he introduces us to the basics of the Christian world view. Separate chapaters discuss the foundations of knowledge and the relationship between knowing and doing. With an eye to the practical, Sire offers specific suggestions on getting to know what is good and getting to know the world. He also provides valuable insights on how Christians might approach various academic disciplines as disciples of Christ.

Contemporary Christian
$45.99The Contempory Christian, Applying God’s Word to Today’s World by John Stott from Intervarsity Press is now available in convenient softcover. John Stott makes a trumpet call to all disciples of Christ to be both contemporary and Biblical. The first means to live and move with the times. The second requires that we retain unswerving loyalty to God’s Word. Combining the two is not an easy task. Today people reject Christianity, not because they think it is false, but because they think it is irrelevant. Disciples, he says, can prepare for this task by cultivating a listening ear, embracing both mind and emotions, and finding God’s true guidance. In addition, he sympathetically uncovers the emptiness of secular men and women, demonstrating how the church can meet their quests with the truth and grace of Jesus Christ. John Stott is knwon worldwide as a gifted evangelist, preacher, scholar and Christian statesman. Among his books are Basic Christianity, The Cross of Christ, and Romans.

Powers Of Darkness
$30.99The last two decades have witnessed a vast upsurge in occult activity. Scores of popular books have warned Christians of the dangers and urged them to do battle against these spiritual forces. Few books, however, have developed a careful biblical theology on demons, principalities and powers. Clinton Arnold seeks to fill this gap, providing an in-depth look at Paul’s letters and what they teach on the subject. For perspective, he examines first-century Greek, Roman and Jewish beliefs as well as Jesus’ teaching about magic, sorcery and divination. Arnold contends that the New Testament view is that principalities and powers are organized, personal beings which Jesus defeated at the cross and will bring into full subjection at his return. Arnold also suggests practical ways in which Christians today can contend with the forces of evil.

Peculiar People : The Church As Culture In A Postchristian Society
$30.99Contents
/12 Chapters
Additional Info
Christians feel increasingly useless, argues Rodney Clapp, not because we have nothing to offer a post-Christian society, but because we are trying to serve as “sponsoring chaplains” to a civilization that no longer sees Christianity as necessary to its existence. In our individualistic, technologically oriented, consumer-based culture, Christianity has become largely irrelevant.The solution is not to sentimentally capitulate to the way things are. Nor is it to retrench in an effort to regain power and influence as the sponsor of Western civilization. What is needed is for Christians to reclaim our heritage as a peculiar people, as unapologetic followers of The Way.

Conclusion: Faith And Ethics
Notes
IndexAdditional Info
In this excellent outline of Christian ethics, Robin W. Lovin achieves a balance between the questions and issues which form the core of the study of ethics, and the life situations from which those questions arise.Eschewing a sectarian approach which dismisses other understandings of the moral life, Lovin nonetheless lays claim to a specifically Christian understanding of ethics. He begins with basic Christian convictions about the reality of God and human redemption and weaves these convictions into the fabric of moral concerns that are widely shared in contemporary society. He takes note of the problems that arise when Christians try to act on or enforce their convictions in a pluralistic society and recognizes the variety of theological and moral beliefs that are held within the Christian community, as well as in the wider society.
