Beschreibung

When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen?
Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male. The myth of the white male God has had a devastating effect as it enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe. Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and shows what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God. Rediscovering God as Spirit leads us to a more just faith and a better church and world.

    The second story in the Chosen to Serve series brings Jimmy Westbrook to be the keynote speaker at a seminary’s week-long yearly conference. Jimmy gives five daily speeches during the week and shares services he has rendered in the Lord’s name to those he has been sent to serve. 
     The story focuses on the why behind so much of the Lord’s service to each of us. Seeing our condition first-hand and in the flesh – how we are like sheep without a shepherd – our Lord was moved with compassion. 
     Jimmy shares with the students of the seminary how the Lord is still moved with His compassion and still responding in miraculous love, by sharing four stories of how the Lord has used him to serve others. In such a setting, where all present consider themselves to be authorities on God, Jimmy’s message is not one of scholarship, but rather personal experience. The focus is not on God’s miracles, but the WHY of those miracles. 
     Jimmy’s sharing of his own ministry in a typically conservative seminary is controversial and unsettling. Bible principles are delivered with a remarkable application to daily life. 
     The resulting story is an engrossing journey of how the Lord works in our lives.

    Why Missions and Evangelism Are an Overflow of Delighting in God 
    Evangelism and missions are parts of the Christian life often accompanied by fears, insecurities, and cultural pressures. In this addition to the Union series, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves argue that an individual's relationship with God influences their evangelism and missions more than anything else. Scripture clearly shows that a believer's responsibility is to make God known in the world, but this cannot be done without first knowing and enjoying God.
    To illustrate how knowledge of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope. There is hope for those who find these topics intimidating—when believers focus on the glory of the lamb of God, the gospel will shine through them.
