Radical Discipleship
"Christ is living amongst us. Not in the churches of the English middle-class but in the slums of Bombay, the horrors of Cambodia, the savage feudal was of Central America. He is the same today as he was 2,000 years ago, when he made friends woth the outcasts, the lepers, the prostitutes, the tax-collectors, and condemned the Pharisees for their hardness of heart. We crucify Him every day we do not protest against the evil which allows two thirds of the world's population to starve, which allows oppression, injustice, racial and class prejudice to rage unchecked, every day in which we do not alleviate their suffering and pray that our indifference might be forgiven. We can truly experience the liberating freedom which the cross brought if we surrender to the demands Christ makes of us. Isn't it about time we stepped down from our pedestals, got our hands dirty and took the whole gospel seriously? Chris Sugden presents a challenging and entirly biblical analysis of the of the calling to a truly Christian lifestyle."--Back cover.

Transformation After Lausanne
"Lausanne '74 inspired evangelicals around the world to take seriously the full implications of the Gospel for mission. This was especially true of a worldwide network of radical evangelical mission theologians and practitioners, whose post-Lausanne reflections found harbour in the notion of "Mission as Transformation". This missiology integrated evangelism and social concern like no other, and it lifted up theological voices coming from the Two Thirds World to places of prominence. This book documents the definitive gatherings, theological tensions, and social forces within and without evangelicalism that led up to Mission as Transformation. And it does so through a global-local grid that points the way toward greater holistic mission in the 21st century."--BOOK JACKET.
Warfare and Waves
"Why is the Church of England perceived by many as homophobic, misogynist, or just plain weird? Because two movements within it, the Calvinists and the Charismatics, have recently achieved a degree of influence disproportionate to their numerical strength. The Calvinists have played the media and ecclesiastical politics games with skill and determination, while sternly identifying themselves as guardians of the one true Reformed doctrine. The Charismatics have taken a different approach, embracing many elements of late-modern culture while retaining a distinctly premodern worldview. Peter Herriot argues that to recover from the opportunity costs and reputational damage that it has suffered a...

Who are the Evangelicals?
"Classical or pentecostal, charismatic or reformed, the spectrum of evanglical belief and practice today is infinitely varied. Evangelicalism transcends national and denominational differences and enjoys considerable worldwide influence yet it is frequently taken less than seriously by religious commentators and is often known to the wider world only by caricature. Evanglicals themselves sometimes have only a scanty knowledge of their historical and theological identity, which frequently manifests itself in narrowness of vision and rigidity of judgement. Only by understanding our past can we know ourselves today, argues Derek Tidball, and in this warm and enjoyable account he surveys the modern evangelical movement around the world, tracing its historic and doctrinal roots in order to explain today's exciting diversity of expression. Evangelicalism is portrayed as a dynamic faith, not a static religion, and this informed and wise guide is essential reading for all who are concerned to establish whether the many new trends appearing are authentic expressions of biblical Christianity." - From Back of Book.
Who Do You Say that I Am?
Can we respect other religions and still view Christ as normative for all? Yes, says Calvin E. Shenk. For Christians, candid commitment to the uniqueness of Christ is to be accompanied by the integrity of Christ, opening the way for nonconfrontational dialogue.
