City Of God City Of Satan
$26.99Why is the city a battleground of hostile principalities and powers? What is the mission of the church in the city? How can the church be supported in accomplishing that mission? These are the questions that Robert Linthicum treats in his comprehensive and probing biblical theology of the city. In the Bible the city is depicted both as a dwelling place of God and his people and as a center of power for Satan and his minions. The city is one primary stage on which the drama of salvation is played out. And that is no less the case at the end of this pivotal century as megacities become the focal point of most human activity and aspirations around the world. This is a timely theology of the city that weaves the theological images of the Bible and the social realities of the contemporary world into a revealing tapestry of truths about the urban experience. Its purpose is to define clearly the mission of the church in the midst of the urban realities and to support well the work of the church in the urban world.

Cultural Anthropology : Christian Perspective (Reprinted)
$22.99This volume on cultural anthropology by Stephen Grunlan and Marvin Mayers presents precisely what its subtitle indicates, namely, “a Christian perspective.” Stephen Grunlan, who formerly taught at Moody Bible Institute and at St. Paul Bible College, is now senior pastor at the Appleton Alliance Church, Appleton, Wisconsin. He first studied anthropology under Dr. Marvin Mayers at Wheaton College and later was engaged in work among Chicanos in California and the Chicago area. Dr. Mayers engaged sponsorship of the Wycliffe Bible Translators before teaching for nine years at Wheaton College, during which time he also had some field experience in the Philippines. He was director of the program for the Summer Institute of Linguistics in Dallas, Texas, and professor of linguistics at the University of Texas at Arlington for many years. He is currently dean at the School of Intercultural Studies at Biola University. Cultural Anthropology: A Christian Perspective is addressed primarily to Bible school students of conservative evangelical backgrounds, with the hope that a sympathetic approach to the problems of cultural diversity thoughout the world will help young people overcome typical North American cultural biases and make them more able to understand and appreciate the diversitites of behavior and thought that exist in a culturally heterogeneous world. Grunlan and Mayers take the position of “functional creationism”; and though they discuss some of the problems implied in traditional interpretations of the age of the world and especially of the creation of the human race, they do not attempt to deal with either physical anthropology or the origins of man. They do, however, attempt to deal meaningfully with the problems posed by biblical absolutism and cultural relativism, and their practice of concluding chapters with a series of thought-provoking questions should prove to be of real help to the nonprofessional teacher of anthropology, who has been specifically in mind as they prepared this text.

Christianity Confronts Culture (Revised)
$37.12Christianity Confronts Culture is a practical guide to effective communications in the crosscultural setting — which exists, in fact, when any one person meets another. Dr. Mayers discusses crosscultural communication by means of four models, each of which approaches the subject in the light of a different discipline: social psychology, sociology, anthropology, and crosscultural education. The second part of the book presents a series of case studies illustrating each of the four models. Pastors, future pastors, missionaries, Christian educators — any who find themselves in constant contact with foreign cultures or North American cultures — will find this book invaluable.

This collection brings together almost 40 of his best writings. In a style that is both academic and personal, he deals first with missiological theory then with anthropological and historical dimensions of missiology. He then treats a number of specific missiological problems from these perspectives including seminal material on power encounters.

Lausanne 1974 Ralph D. Winters Writings With Responses
$23.51Lausanne ’74 chronicles Ralph D. Winter’s impact on North American mission efforts. Some would expand that globally. Many see his presentation at the Lausanne Congress as the starting point-or tipping point-of that impact. Certainly, the Lausanne stage helped catapult the idea of the “unreached” into mission planning and board rooms around the world. This book puts together Winter’s thinking leading up to and including that July day in Lausanne Switzerland and seeks to show how Winter’s own presentation impacted his work and future. It also attempts to demonstrate how the ideas were and are understood, and how they impacted our strategy for Kingdom service today. This book is a foundational reference for understanding strategic mission considerations, now and in the future.

Song Of Ascents
$37.99In this Song of Ascents not one single note is here by right. I deserve nothing; I have everything. God is the heart of this everything. I have everything – everything I need, and more. … What I had – Jesus, God, the Kingdom of God – was all I wanted and needed. I didn’t want anything different. I only wanted more of what I had. (from the Introduction)
The spiritual autobiography of E. Stanley Jones remains relevant for readers in any age, from any background, of any faith, in any place in the world. Jones’ message centers on the good news of Jesus Christ that Jones lived and preached around the world for 60+ years.

In India, he primarily preached to the intellectual class; however, his reach was to all Indians. He also traveled to just about every part of the world preaching Jesus–China, Japan, Europe, South America and the United States.
