I’ve got two reviews on Asbury Seminary‘s resource site, Seedbed.
One is for Hijacked: Responding to the Partisan Church Divide, by Mike Slaughter and Chuck Gutenson. It addresses the issue of churches becoming overly characterized by political affiliations rather than their commitment to the gospel. Mike Slaughter is pastor of Ginghamsburg UMC, a large church in Ohio. Chuck Gutenson has a PhD in philosophical theology (also a prof of mine and good guy!).
The latest is for God is Red: The Secret Story of How Christianity Survived and Flourished in Communist China, by Liao Yiwu (translated by Wenguang Huang). It is an amazing collection of interviews with Christians in China. Through their own stories, the author introduces us to incredible testimonies of faith and shares his own exploration of Christianity.
