Bodies, Fat Minds
Os Guinness, Hourglass 1994
Subtitled: 'Why Evangelicals Don't Think, and what to do about
it.'
Followers of Christ are sometimes accused of having happy hearts
and empty brains. Unfortunately this accusation can have more
than a grain of truth in it. We are in danger of failing to love
God with our minds as well as our hearts. Guinness examines different
kinds of failure to think Biblically:
- Polarization
- Pietism
- Primitivism
- Populism
- Pluralism
- Pragmatism
- Philistinism
- Premillenialism
He also evaluates
how our culture is driving us, through the influence of the mass
media, consumerism, postmodernism etc.
Dr Os Guinness
is director of the Trinity Forum, and the author of a number of
books.

Evangelism
Made Slightly Less Difficult
Nick Pollard,
IVP 1997
For
most of us, personal evangelism is never going to be easy. But
we sometimes make it seem more difficult than it need be. Based
on many years' experience with school and college students, Nick
Pollard recommends an approach he calls 'Positive Deconstruction'.
This just means trying to understand someone's beliefs, and recognize
what's true, and what's false.
By affirming what is true and rejecting what is false, we can
find starting points to share the Good News with them. We can
help them begin to see how the Good News is relevant to their
lives, and to consider the claims of Christ for themselves.
Nick Pollard
is director of Damaris, and
a well known writer and speaker in colleges and universities.
