J.P. MorelandChristian philosopher, theologian, and apologistissues a call to recapture the drama and power of kingdom livingto cultivate a revolution of Evangelical life, spirituality, thought, and Spirit-led power.Drawing insights from the early church, he unpacks three essential ingredients of this revolution:Recovery of the Christian mind.Renovation of Christian spirituality.Restoration of the power of the Holy Spirit.Western society is in crisis: the result of our culture's embrace of naturalism and postmodernism, and a biblical worldview has been pushed to the margins. Christians have been strongly influenced by these trends, with the result that their personal lives often reflect the surrounding culture more than the way of Christ, and the church's transforming influence on society has waned as a result.Kingdom Triangle is divided into two major sections:The first examines and provides a critique of secular worldviews and shows how they have ushered in the current societal crisis.The second lays out a strategy for the Christian community to regain the potency of kingdom life and influence in the world.Moreland believes that evangelical Christianity can mature and lead the surrounding society out of the meaningless morass it finds itself in with humility and vision. With clear insight, he puts the thoughtful Christian in a position to understand our current cultural struggle and to return to a responsible presentation of "e;the way of Christ"e; as not just a way of right living, but also a way of knowledge and meaningful life.

Think of it this way . . . Our beliefs are challenged from many directions. Every day it seems more difficult to explain to our friends, families, and neighbors what we believe and why. When our ideas and arguments fail to persuade them, what then? Is there another approach we can take?Veteran apologists and communicators J. P. Moreland and Tim Muehlhoff say that the best way to win over others is with a good story. Stories have the ability to get behind our preconceptions and defenses. They appeal to the whole person rather than just to the mind. This expanded edition includes new chapters and updated stories and illustrations throughout. In these pages the authors enhance the logic and evidence found in other books defending the faith with things that your friends, relatives, or coworkers will ponder long after a conversation is over. Here is sound, empathetic coaching for those of us who long to communicate our faith more effectively.
