The Centrality of Christ in Contemporary Missions

Can we learn from the model of Jesus how to be more effective mission workers? This volume (Number 12) of the annual Evangelical Missiological Society series offers answers to these questions and more as it discusses the clear and relevant communication of the centrality of Jesus Christ.
The Certainty Trap: Can Christians and Muslims afford the luxury of fundamentalism?
A certainty trap has sprung up within both Islam and Christianity, resulting in a world struggling with the fallout from extremist and violent interpretations of what the word of God might mean. In The Certainty Trap, Musk looks at the phenomenon of fundamentalism in Christianity and its contributions toward the messy state of international affairs in which many—especially Muslims—find themselves today. By scrutinizing sacred book interpretation in both the Islamic and Christian heritages, The Certainty Trap challenges contemporary religious fundamentalism and is a timely contribution to Muslim-Christian relations.

Its purpose is to uncover the hidden paths that ‘John’ intended. Contrasts like ‘Signs’ of Jesus Christ and many more, in John, when compared with other three gospels are well explained.

The Incomparable Christ
A 2002 Logos Association Best Book award winner
Everyone has something to say about Jesus. Sorting through the numerous books of recent years, you may find yourself lost in a thicket of viewpoints, some troubling to faith, some puzzling to the intellect. But John Stott, one of the outstanding evangelical voices of the last half century, offers in The Incomparable Christ an enriching vision of Jesus that defies measurment. In this newly Americanized, paperback edition Stott invites you to view Jesus from four perspectives: The Original Jesus: How the New Testament witnesses to Jesus in the Gospels, Acts and the Letters The Ecclesiastical Jesus: How the church has presented Jesus historically, from Justin Martyr, Benedict and Anselm, to Thomas à Kempis, Martin Luther and Thomas Jefferson, to Gustavo Guitiérrez, N. T. Wright, and the Edinburgh and Lausanne missionary confessions of the twentieth century The Influential Jesus: How people from St. Francis to Tolstoy, from Gandhi to Roland Allen, from Father Damien to William Wilberforce have taken inspiriation from him The Eternal Jesus: How he continually challenges today’s men and women through ten visions from the book of Revelation This is the Jesus who is like no other–worthy of your worship, your confession and your obedience as you follow him into the future.

The Letters of Jude and Second Peter: An Introduction and Study Guide
This Guide surveys the more important historical, socio-cultural, theological, and literary factors we must grapple with in understanding the two letters of Jude and Second Peter, between which there are very strong similarities. It appears that the letter of Jude was almost entirely ‘plagiarized’ by the letter of Second Peter. George Aichele’s main approach is the method of semiotics, examining signifying mechanisms in each of the texts both independently and when they are read together.
In both of the letters, Jesus Christ is called the ‘master’, with a Greek word that means ‘slave-owner’, and the authors of both books refer to themselves and other Christians as the slaves of Christ. Furthermore, both writings report situations of paranoid fear within Christian communities of their time as they picture heretical infiltrators who threaten to pervert and perhaps even destroy the community.
In addition to this, in an adventurous excursion, the letter of Jude is read intertextually with the classic science fiction/horror film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Siegel 1956), in order to explore the dynamics of paranoia.

“A fascinating account . . . [Freedman] is adept at untangling the complex history of bible translation . . . A complex and important story told in clear, non-academic language that should appeal to anyone with an interest in history or bible studies.” ―Historical Novel Society
“An entertaining, lucid look at the history of Biblical translations . . . This is a serious popular history and–unlike so many of the Biblical translations it discusses–has no particular religious agenda.” ―Bookfilter
