Sinossi

Origins of Sin explores the concept of sin across major world religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, examining its historical evolution and enduring influence on morality. It delves into how different faiths conceptualize sin, highlighting both shared themes and theological divergences. Intriguingly, the book reveals how the concept of sin functions as a mechanism for social control and personal accountability, and how societal shifts, such as the Reformation and the Enlightenment, reshaped religious thinking about sin.

 
The book presents a structured analysis, beginning with an introduction to core concepts of sin in various religions, then assessing the moral implications of these definitions, and finally examining the evolution of sin in secular ethics and modern legal systems. One significant point is how secular ethical frameworks have adopted elements of sin-based thinking, influencing legal systems and individual moral reasoning. This approach provides a unique lens for critically examining moral assumptions and fostering thoughtful discussions about ethics in an increasingly diverse world.

How to Be a Patriotic Christian...

Richard J. Mouw

What does it mean to love our country? 
 
 
 
Some Christians see loyalty to America as central to our faith and identity. Other Christians are skeptical that our nation warrants such devotion or attachment. But Richard Mouw encourages Christians to have a healthy sense of national peoplehood that promotes civic kinship and responsible citizenship. He navigates between Christian nationalism on one hand and cynicism about country on the other to avoid the perils of both idolatry and disengagement. 
 
 
 
Mouw grapples with sticky questions such as how to honor national holidays in church and the place of protests in forging a more perfect union. Placing love of country in the context of Christian love of neighbor, he sees patriotism as an expression of our heavenly citizenship and a call to help our country be a place where all people can thrive in peace. 
 
 
 
Mouw's winsome and wise reflections direct our patriotic affections toward the civic good of others within our churches and in our communities. This guide helps us travel together on a shared national journey toward liberty and justice for all.

Passionate Pursuit - Sustaining...

Kim Owens, Corey Russell

In an age of excess, the primary enemy of revival is "enough." When you're comfortable and full, you lose the desperation required to keep a heart on fire for Jesus. Ultimately, our "enough" leads not to fullness, but to empty, cold hearts. 
 
 
 
Igniting the fires of personal revival, seasoned revivalist and pastor Kim Owens shows that a heart on fire for Jesus is the antidote to apathy and complacency. Sharing vital revelations, biblical wisdom, and practical principles discovered in a ten-year-sustained revival, Pastor Kim equips you to transform a life of spiritual dryness into one with spiritual zeal; maintain a holy desperation for God; prioritize a passionate pursuit of Jesus; and experience a vibrant, contagious relationship with Christ. 
 
 
 
There will be no personal revival if there's no personal pursuit. In these difficult times before Christ's return, it's imperative we live in his presence and fullness, on fire with zeal and passion. This is not optional. This is what Jesus shed his blood for.
