That Christian missionary efforts have long gone hand-in-hand with European colonization and American imperialist expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries is well recognized. The linchpin role played in those efforts by the "Great Commission"--The risen Christ's command to "go into all the world" and "teach all nations"--has more often been observed than analyzed, however. With the rise of European colonialism, the Great Commission was suddenly taken up with an eschatological urgency, often explicit in the founding statements of missionary societies; the differentiation of "teachers" and "nations" waiting to be "taught" proved a ready-made sacred sanction for the racialized and androcentric logics of conquest and "civilization."

It is based in the greatest city of the ancient world: Babylon. It contains some of the most famous stories known: like the three men in the fiery furnace and a praying prophet in the lions' den - who all lived to tell the tale. But it is more than a history book, travel log and grand story. It contains the key to understanding all last days Biblical prophecy. This is the greatness of the Book of Daniel. In 'The Prophet from Babylon: Understanding the Book of Daniel, ' you will be led through this most inspiring, colorful and complex subject. Gain insight to the Nebuchadnezzar's grand dream of a multi-metal statue - representing four great world empires. Daniel 9:24-27 is called the '70 Weeks Prophecy' and it is the foundation stone for all end time prophecy. In these four verses you will learn about the timing of Messiah's appearance, his death and the abomination of desolation. This prophecy proves Messiah had to publicly appear before the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 AD. The Book of Daniel helps you understand the Book of Revelation, and vice-versa. Rather than mystify you, The Prophet from Babylon will motivate you to learn more about Biblical prophecy, which is a bright 'light that shines in a dark place' (2 Peter 1:19).

The Bible tells us what to believe––the gospel. Did you know it also shows how to contextualize the gospel? In One Gospel for All Nations, Jackson Wu does more than talk about principles. He gets practical. When the biblical writers explain the gospel, they consistently use a pattern that is both firm and flexible. Wu builds on this insight to demonstrate a model of contextualization that starts with interpretation and can be applied in any culture. In the process, he explains practically why we must not choose between the Bible and culture. Wu highlights various implications for both missionaries and theologians. Contextualization should be practical, not pragmatic; theological, not theoretical.

'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.

How can the church move forward in unity amid such political strife and cultural contention? As Christians, we’ve felt pushed to the outskirts of national public life, yet even within our congregations we are divided about how to respond. Some want to strengthen the evangelical voting bloc. Others focus on social justice causes, and still others would abandon the public square altogether. What do we do when brothers and sisters in Christ sit next to each other in the pews but feel divided and angry? Is there a way forward? In How the Nations Rage, political theology scholar and pastor Jonathan Leeman challenges Christians from across the spectrum to hit the restart button by shifting our focus from redeeming the nation to living as a nation already redeemed rejecting the false allure of building heaven on earth while living faithfully as citizens of a heavenly kingdom letting Jesus’ teaching shape our public engagement as we love our neighbors and seek justice When we identify with Christ more than a political party or social grouping, we can return to the church’s unchanging political task: to become the salt and light Jesus calls us to be and offer the hope of his kingdom to the nations.

Cleopatra Brown's Called to Teach All Nations skillfully expresses the concept that every Christian functions as a follower of Christ and a teacher to the Christian community. This innovative notion explores a variety of in-depth concepts, aspirations and motives behind Christian-based education. Cleopatra carefully incorporates stimulating commentary ideal for conceptualizing the fundamentals of Christian epistemic. She also states that the Holy Spirit is a catalyst of learning and outlines a variety of stimulating insights readers and teachers can utilize in any curriculum: The Holy Spirit as teacher is not limited by time or space. His role as teacher permeates every aspect of the teaching-learning process. He is the Agent who guides the teacher and learner into all truth. The Holy Spirit is ultimately responsible for all learning, leading people to know and apply truth. He ministers through at least five elements of the teaching-learning process: the teacher, the learner, the Word of God, the interpersonal interaction and the environment. Cleopatra equally calls attention to the Christian need for human educators who are genuine, knowledgeable and will function as reliable role models for students: One should not misinterpret or insinuate that believers have no need for human teachers because of the Holy Spirit's direct teaching ministry Cleopatra's exceptional knowledge on the Christian teacher-student dynamic provides readers with strong overtones of credibility and intellectually-sound insights, while thoughtfully conveying the responsibilities of Christian teachers. This compelling read is highly recommended for teachers and students alike, as Cleopatra provides methods to inspire teachers to improve upon their curriculum. Cleopatra additionally provides readers with knowledge-enhancement tools to later become successful Christian educators. Called to Teach All Nations is a timeless reference guide, inspiring teachers to develop new suggestions and encourages them to model education styles based on the ministry of Christ. Both teacher and student will gain an appreciation for their unique roles as they walk in the Spirit.
