Authors C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien have captured the imagination of millions of readers across languages and cultures with unforgettable stories enchanting the familiar and transforming the way we look at lions, lampposts, and rings. They have also touched the way many see weightier matters of life, moral brokenness, and death. As powerful as they are, fantasy stories are primarily created for the imaginative delight of the author and the reader, and they are good in and of themselves. But are there secondary goods for stories like The Chronicles of Narnia? One lesser-known potential is that stories like these can powerfully communicate across cultures. More importantly, they can help ...
Although Christianity has significantly influenced many of Western civilization’s cherished ideals and values, it faces ongoing criticism regarding its truth, goodness, and beauty. Critics argue that Christianity is at odds with science, human flourishing, and the dignity of women; that it is disconnected from modern views on sexuality; and that its Scriptures support slavery and genocide. They also claim that the historical evidence for Jesus’ bodily resurrection is weak and his claims of exclusivity are narrow-minded. Additionally, the problem of evil and the hiddenness of God are major points of contention. In response, a group of scholars has provided a comprehensive, well-reasoned, yet accessible resource to address these accusations for both the church and the broader public.
How can you share the gospel with someone who doesn’t care? As Western culture becomes increasingly indifferent to questions of faith, diverted by secularism, comfort, and distraction, believers encounter many people who don’t so much doubt God as they are apathetic toward him. In Apatheism, Kyle Beshears urges us to recapture the joy of our salvation and demonstrates how to faithfully display the love of Christ to apatheist friends and neighbors.

Paul Wilson believes God is poised to perform a mighty work through “believers in the workplace”—including the secular university. The Rev. Billy Graham had the same insight. But Christ followers in secular institutions must explicitly embrace secular work as God’s work. Likewise, seminaries, churches, and pastors must step up their efforts. In this book, the author shares his struggles of being a follower of Christ at secular places of learning. At times, he felt there was little or no integration of his faith and vocation due to a lack of courage and time. Get answers to questions such as: • What are the perils of living a double life by not identifying yourself as a follower of Christ? • How can Christ regain a foothold at secular institutions of learning? • How can educators help students move closer to the Lord outside of class? • What does a faithful presence look like in the academy? A Sacred Journey presents a Gospel-centered framework for Christian witness on campus where Ph.D. students, faculty, and staff, can serve as salt, light, and leaven in their secular university environments. We must reclaim the sacredness of our academic vocations.
