A Great review from Apologetics 315

WHAT CHRISTIAN LEADERS ARE SAYING:
“As someone who has devoted many years of ministry to teaching Christian worldview. I am thrilled to see dynamic and faithful worldview leaders like Jonathan Morrow stepping to the fore. Think Christianly…equips Christians young and old to engage the culture winsomely, intelligently, and with confidence.”-Chuck Colson, colsoncenter.org

“We Christians love to lob rhetorical grenades at the surrounding culture from the safety of our holy huddle. What’s far more difficult…is to engage the issues of our day with intelligence, moral clarity, and biblical wisdom. That’s exactly what Jonathan Morrow does in Think Christianly.”-Drew Dyck, Managing editor of Leadership Journal

“In a time when truth is distorted and biblical teachings are misunderstood, our commitment to engaging culture must not be compromised…Think Christianly is a much needed resource as we seek to honor God in both what we believe and how we live.”-Jason Hayes, National Young Adult Ministry Specialist, LifeWay Christian Resources

“Think Christianly is a remarkable and important achievement. Written in an…accessible style, it covers an exhaustive range of topics. Indeed, I know of no other book like it in this regard, and it is now the first book to which to turn for learning the specifics of how to think Christianly.”-J. P. Moreland, author of The God Question

(From Back Cover) In Think Christianly, Jonathan Morrow gives church leaders the biblical framework and practical resources for helping churchgoers boldy engage today’s cultural moments. Addressing issues such as injustice, sexuality, suffering, politics, science, the exclusivity of Jesus and what it means to be human, Morrow refuses to shy away from tough questions and includes interviews with some of today’s most influential Christian leaders, including:

  • Dennis Rainey (Family Life)
  • William Lane Craig (Reasonable Faith)
  • Barrett Ward (The Mocha Club)
  • Sean McDowell (Worldview Ministries)
  • Reggie Joiner (Orange)
  • Jay Richards (Discovery Institute)
  • Kyle Strobel (Metamorpha)
  • Kelly Monroe Kullberg (The Veritas Forum)
  • more…

The Bible doesn’t make us choose between cultivating a thoughtful faith and demonstrating radical love. Why should the church?

    Turns Out Most DNA Is Not Junk After All

    “The thought before the start of the project, said Thomas Gingeras, an Encode researcher from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, was that only 5 to 10 percent of the DNA in a human being was actually being used.

    The big surprise was not only that almost all of the DNA is used but also that a large proportion of it is gene switches. Before Encode, said Dr. John Stamatoyannopoulos, a University of Washington scientist who was part of the project, “if you had said half of the genome and probably more has instructions for turning genes on and off, I don’t think people would have believed you.”

    By the time the National Human Genome Research Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, embarked on Encode, major advances in DNA sequencing and computational biology had made it conceivable to try to understand the dark matter of human DNA. Even so, the analysis was daunting — the researchers generated 15 trillion bytes of raw data. Analyzing the data required the equivalent of more than 300 years of computer time.” – (read the rest here)

    Why hasn’t Christianity had more influence on major intellectual institutions?

    “One reason Christianity has failed to exert much influence on the major intellectual institutions of America is that too many Christians hold their beliefs in an uninformed and precarious fashion. Instead of pursuing answers to the toughest questions an unbelieving world can marshal, they attempt to preserve certainty through ignorance and isolation, relying on platitudes rather than arguments.”-Douglas Groothuis (Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith)

    In short, a faith founded on unstable feelings and blind irrationality will not make much of an impact on the unbelieving world. Maybe that’s also why this kind of faith has so little impact on the believing world too.

    We can do better. I lay out a vision for how Christians can cultivate a thoughtful faith in chapter 5 of my latest book. You can learn more about it here.
