Micah's Challenge

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:03:00 +0000

The Church's Responsibility to the Global Poor
"I warmly welcome this book", writes UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown in his foreword to Micah's Challenge, "it is harnessing faith to unite Christians globally…to deepen...commitment to people living in poverty through prayer, service and advocacy."

Micah Challenge unites Christians from both hemispheres, urging our respective governments to grasp this historic opportunity to deliver on the promises they have made. We consider that a book, consisting of contributions by theologians and practitioners from various continents exploring the theological, ethical and practical dimensions of this call to act with justice, mercy and humility. It will be of interest to all.

Faith, Health and Prosperity

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:16:00 +0000

Edited by Andrew Perriman

The Word of Faith movement is one of the most controversial forms of modern Christianity. It has been accused of distorting Scripture and exporting the worst of American tele-evangelism around the world. This book acknowledges the movement's shortcomings but takes historical, religious and cultural circumstances into account. Subsequently it offers a ground for mutual understanding and a biblical analysis on prosperity.

God and the Generations

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:34:00 +0000

Edited by David Hilborn & Matt Bird

Divisions between different generations are much discussed in western Christianity today. Church growth theorists, evangelists and missiologists increasingly segment communities and congregations into defined groups. This report highlights the relevance of such generation-based analysis for contemporary Christian life, but also offers a constructive critique of existing work in the field.
