Zondervan, 2003 - Всего страниц: 174

A ministry resource for motivating all Christians to become thoughtful apologists of their faith Although apologetics is as crucial today as it has ever been, the classical model for defending the faith often seems irrelevant to the 21st century where people listen with their eyes and think with their emotions. Is Your Church Ready? Presents a team of highly qualified Christian thinkers--including Ravi Zacharias, John Guest, Jay Budziszewski, Judy Salisbury, Dean Halverson, and Peter Grant--who build a case for the place of apologetics in the local church, home, and school. Using personal examples and illustrations they address: - How to answer objections to Christianity - How to equip children in the home and prepare youth to remain committed to Christ after they leave for college - How to reach international students and the foreign-born Included are discussion questions and a "Church Leaders Resource Guide" to the best books, articles, organizations, and websites on the subject.

Стр. 14 - Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

RAVI ZACHARIAS spent forty-eight years commending the Christian faith and addressing life's great existential questions of origin, meaning, morality, and destiny with eloquence and grace. As a world-renowned apologist and evangelist, his ultimate mission was to present the truth of Jesus Christ that others might find life in Him.He authored and coauthored thirty books and studies, including the award-winning Can Man Live Without God? and The Logic of God. He was founder and chairman of the board of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM), headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and host of two radio programs, Let My People Think and Just Thinking. He and his wife, Margie, were married forty-eight years. Norman Geisler was born on July 21, 1932, in Warren, Mich. He is the author of Christian texts that promote the Bible and morality and serve to provide sound advice and reasoning for the Christian faith. A fervent believer in the inerrancy of the Bible, his books When Skeptics Ask and When Critics Ask provide answers to those who question discrepancies in the Bible or challenge its authority. In Legislating Morality, he discusses why laws should be passed and enforced to create a moral, Christian society. Geisler is a frequent speaker and debater, providing learned answers about religion and society. He was educated at Wheaton College, the Detroit Bible College, and Loyola University. He is currently the Dean of the Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina.
