Description
We're celebrating the 30th anniversary of this Judson Press best-seller! The best of biblical scholarship and theological reflection is combined in these sermons that speak eloquently about a question of vital importance to all Christians—what does it mean to be a person under God? In these thirteen sermons, Proctor and Watley:
• Emphasize the urgent need for interdependence of all people in order to fulfill God's compassionate will for individuals, nations, and the world
• Examine the cultural, social, political, economic, and religious realities of our world as they are and as they should be if Christians are to take God's Word seriously.
• Offer hope and direction for living in steadfast confidence as people of God.
Also includes a foreword by noted emerging preacher and theologian Adam L. Bond who reflects on the impact and legacy of these two giants.
