Ken Ham, CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis-US, the highly acclaimed Creation Museum, and the world-renowned Ark Encounter, sounds the call for Reformation bringing God’s people back to the authority of the Word of God beginning in Genesis. Can the church regain a position of influence among this generation of “truth seekers” who reject God and His Word?

Download or read book Evangelicalism Divided written by Iain Hamish Murray and published by Banner of Truth. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murray analyses major changes in the evangelical movement in the years 1950 to 2000, clarifying the issues raised & assessing events in the light of biblical teaching. The period under review saw the fundamental difference between two contrasting approaches to Christian unity, ecumenism & evangelicalism, gradually obscured. In their desire to distance themselves from the older fundamentalism, some evangelical leaders were too willing, in Murray's view, to jettison, or at least to tone down, previously cherished convictions concerning the nature of Christian conversion, the authority of Scripture & the primacy of gospel truth over denominational loyalty. Leaders whose roles in these changes are discussed include Billy Graham, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, J. I. Packer & John R. W. Scott. Particular attention is given to the evangelical movement within the Anglican communion, the problematic nature of evangelical involvement in the world of scholarship & moves to break down barriers between evangelicalism & Roman Catholicism. Murray emphasizes the basic question, What is a Christian? & its implications for evangelical faith & life.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The acclaimed social psychologist challenges conventional thinking about morality, politics, and religion in a way that speaks to conservatives and liberals alike—a “landmark contribution to humanity’s understanding of itself” (The New York Times Book Review). Drawing on his twenty-five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology, Jonathan Haidt shows how moral judgments arise not from reason but from gut feelings. He shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong, and he shows why each side is actually right about many of its central concerns. In this subtle yet accessible book, Haidt gives you the key to understanding the miracle of human cooperation, as well as the curse of our eternal divisions and conflicts. If you’re ready to trade in anger for understanding, read The Righteous Mind.

Download or read book Overcoming Apartheid written by James L. Gibson and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2004-04-15 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no country in history has so directly and thoroughly confronted its past in an effort to shape its future as has South Africa. Working from the belief that understanding the past will help build a more peaceful and democratic future, South Africa has made a concerted, institutionalized effort to come to grips with its history of apartheid through its Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In Overcoming Apartheid, James L. Gibson provides the first systematic assessment of whether South Africa's truth and reconciliation process has been successful. Has the process allowed South Africa to let go of its painful past and move on? Or has it exacerbated racial tensions by revisiting painful human rights violations and granting amnesty to their perpetrators? Overcoming Apartheid reports on the largest and most comprehensive study of post-apartheid attitudes in South Africa to date, involving a representative sample of all major racial, ethnic, and linguistic groups. Grounding his analysis of truth in theories of collective memory, Gibson discovers that the process has been most successful in creating a common understanding of the nature of apartheid. His analysis then demonstrates how this common understanding is helping to foster reconciliation, as defined by the acceptance of basic principles of human rights and political tolerance, rejection of racial prejudice, and acceptance of the institutions of a new political order. Gibson identifies key elements in the process—such as acknowledging shared responsibility for atrocities of the past—that are essential if reconciliation is to move forward. He concludes that without the truth and reconciliation process, the prospects for a reconciled, democratic South Africa would diminish considerably. Gibson also speculates about whether the South African experience provides any lessons for other countries around the globe trying to overcome their repressive pasts. A groundbreaking work of social science research, Overcoming Apartheid is also a primer for utilizing innovative conceptual and methodological tools in analyzing truth processes throughout the world. It is sure to be a valuable resource for political scientists, social scientists, group relations theorists, and students of transitional justice and human rights.

Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the Civil War to our combustible present, White Rage reframes the continuing conversation about race in America, chronicling the history of the powerful forces opposed to black progress. Since the abolishment of slavery in 1865, every time African Americans have made advances towards full democratic participation, white reaction has fuelled a rollback of any gains. Carefully linking historical flashpoints – from the post-Civil War Black Codes and Jim Crow to expressions of white rage after the election of America's first black president – Carol Anderson renders visible the long lineage of white rage and the different names under which it hides. Compelling and dramatic in the history it relates, White Rage adds a vital new dimension to the conversation about race in America.

Download or read book Divided We Fall written by Alice M. Rivlin and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partisan warfare and gridlock in Washington threaten to squander America’s opportunity to show the world that democracy can solve serious economic problems and ensure widely shared prosperity. Instead of working together to meet the challenges ahead—an aging work force, exploding inequality, climate change, rising debt—our elected leaders are sabotaging our economic future by blaming and demonizing each other in hopes of winning big in the next election. They are weakening America’s capacity for world leadership and the case for democracy here and abroad. Alice M. Rivlin, with decades of experience in economic policy making, argues that proven economic policies could lead to sustainable American prosperity and opportunity for all, but crafting them requires the tough, time-consuming work of consensus building and bipartisan negotiation. In a divided country with shifting majorities, major policies must have bipartisan buy-in and broad public support. Otherwise we will have either destabilizing swings in policy or total gridlock in the face of challenges looming at us. Rivlin believes that Americans can and must save our hyper-partisan politicians from themselves. She makes the case that on many practical economic issues the public is far less divided than partisan politicians and sensationalist media would have us believe. She draws attention to numerous hopeful efforts to bridge partisan and ideological divides in Washington, in state capitols and city governments, and communities around the country, and advocates a major national effort to enable citizens and future leaders to learn and practice the art of listening to each other and working together to find common ground. This book is a practical guide for Americans across the political spectrum who are agonizing over partisan warfare, incivility, and policy gridlock and looking for ways they can help to get our democratic policy process back on a constructive track before it is too late.

Download or read book One Book Rightly Divided written by Douglas Stauffer and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God has given man the Bible, yet the scriptures are debated with less agreement today than in any previous generation. The resultant widespread error propagated by churches and cults has compelled the republication of this highly acclaimed title. One Book Rightly Divided addresses many difficult and confusing questions, such as:When did the New Testament begin? Immediately following Malachi (Matthew 1:1) or not until after Christ s death (Hebrews 9:17).What happened to the souls of those in the Old Testament of whom it was said that God's Spirit departed (1 Samuel 16:14; Psalm 51:11)? What is the purpose of water baptism? Some teach that water baptism brings salvation (Acts 2:38); others teach that it simply illustrates salvation; while others teach that water baptism serves no purpose at all.When Christ returns to establish His Kingdom, will it be the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven ? Some teach that one of these is physical and the other strictly spiritual (Luke 17:20; Romans 14:17) while others adamantly claim they are both the same (Matthew 19:23-24).What does the Bible mean when it refers to the blotting out of one s name from the Book of Life (Revelation 3:5)?When are names recorded in the Book of Life? Since the Bible contains no contradictions, how does one reconcile For by grace are ye saved through faith ... not of works ... (Ephesians 2:8-9) with by works a man is justified and not by faith only (James 2:24)? Can both be true? Did Peter and Paul write two different gospels to the same group one teaching the loss of salvation and the other teaching salvation by grace with eternal security (2 Peter 3:15-16)?The answers to these important questions serve as the tip of the iceberg with which the reader will become familiar in this work. In fact, One Book Rightly Divided with its 6,745 Bible references will enable the diligent student to answer the critic and solve his own personal uncertainties concerning difficult passages from God s word.

Download or read book Friends Divided written by Gordon S. Wood and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017 A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2017 From the great historian of the American Revolution, New York Times-bestselling and Pulitzer-winning Gordon Wood, comes a majestic dual biography of two of America's most enduringly fascinating figures, whose partnership helped birth a nation, and whose subsequent falling out did much to fix its course. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams could scarcely have come from more different worlds, or been more different in temperament. Jefferson, the optimist with enough faith in the innate goodness of his fellow man to be democracy's champion, was an aristocratic Southern slaveowner, while Adams, the overachiever from New England's rising middling classes, painfully aware he was no aristocrat, was a skeptic about popular rule and a defender of a more elitist view of government. They worked closely in the crucible of revolution, crafting the Declaration of Independence and leading, with Franklin, the diplomatic effort that brought France into the fight. But ultimately, their profound differences would lead to a fundamental crisis, in their friendship and in the nation writ large, as they became the figureheads of two entirely new forces, the first American political parties. It was a bitter breach, lasting through the presidential administrations of both men, and beyond. But late in life, something remarkable happened: these two men were nudged into reconciliation. What started as a grudging trickle of correspondence became a great flood, and a friendship was rekindled, over the course of hundreds of letters. In their final years they were the last surviving founding fathers and cherished their role in this mighty young republic as it approached the half century mark in 1826. At last, on the afternoon of July 4th, 50 years to the day after the signing of the Declaration, Adams let out a sigh and said, At least Jefferson still lives. He died soon thereafter. In fact, a few hours earlier on that same day, far to the south in his home in Monticello, Jefferson died as well. Arguably no relationship in this country's history carries as much freight as that of John Adams of Massachusetts and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. Gordon Wood has more than done justice to these entwined lives and their meaning; he has written a magnificent new addition to America's collective story.

Download or read book A House Divided 7 Events Before Rapture the Coming Christian Holocaust written by Michael Johnson and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as Jesus Christ promised, a book that simplifies and clarifies the End Times prophecies, is finally here. A House Divided chronicles, in easy-to-understand terms, the ENTIRE End Times scenario, including SEVEN easy-to-remember End Events. After years of scouring numerous passages and gathering all the prophecies scattered throughout the Old and New Testaments of The Bible, the author has been able to piece together the prophecies to form a single, coherent picture of the End Times. During the process of gathering together the prophecies, the Author also discovered a profound prophecy concerning the emergence of a book in the End Times that outlines seven events. In The Revelation, Chapter 10, John witnesses a powerful Angel descending from Heaven who holds open a book while he utters seven thunders. Although John heard the thunders and was about to write them down, he was told to conceal them. The author of A House Divided feels that he has uncovered what those "seven thunders" are. By themselves, the seven End Events only scratch the surface of all the new prophetic interpretations that are presented in this book. There are at least twenty COMPLETELY NEW interpretations of prophecy, never before presented, that are detailed in the book. Many of the author's interpretations are as bold in its assertions as The Revelation is mysterious. Jews also, will find this work especially intriguing. In rather blunt terms, the author exalts Jews while diminishing the importance of many religious, social and political organizations of our day, including organized Christian hierarchy and the Catholic Church. The book uses a minimum of scriptural quotes and explains, in everyday language and terms, what Christians must know to prepare themselves for a terrible Christian holocaust in the future. And the book has been formatted to appeal to the "less-educated" Christian. Formerly, most prophecy authors have ignored the larger portion of Christians who are not "schooled" in ancient text, translations and scholarly jargon. A House Divided dispenses with the scholarly chitchat that has inhibited understanding in past prophecy works. It omits diplomacy and gets straight to the point. Without a doubt, A House Divided is as profound in fresh and new End Times understanding, in this day, as The Revelation was in the day of John. Do not miss this opportunity to know, understand and REMEMBER what has eluded all of us to this day: the final revealing of the mystery of God and the WHOLE End Times Truth.
