Taking into account cultural influences and how they affect the church's capacity to carry out its evangelistic mission, Tuck proposes practical ideas based in a biblical theology of evangelism that can enable church members to evangelize with greater sensitivity and effectiveness.

Authentic Evangelism: Sharing the Good News With Sense and Sensitivity

Judson Pr

Jesus is the central figure in the Christian faith. Nevertheless, the Church has struggled to bring into clear focus their understanding of that phrase. The meaning of the phrase the more than man, which the Church has declared about Jesus for two centuries has been difficult to understand and has been interpreted in varied ways by biblical scholars, theologians, philosophers, poets, artist, and ordinary persons. This volume is the author's reflection on his lifelong quest on the question of Christology. In seeking to discern who Jesus is, the author has explored the meaning of the Incarnation, Christ as a teacher, healer, and the rejected, crucified, and risen one. Finally he probes the meaning of the Christ as a present reality today and how he can still be known. The ink drawings by Israel Galindo invite the reader to probe in a visual manner the rich interpretation of the compelling faces of Jesus.

Few prayers are as familiar as the Lord’s Prayer. Every word and petition is filled with powerful images. For many, however, the constant repetition of the words have made the richness of this prayer grow dim. Repetition without understanding cannot be adequate. A reflective study of Jesus’ model prayer can help us to understand and follow more clearly the teaching of this prayer. 
Our familiarity with the Model Prayer sometimes costs us its impact. Prayer is seldom easy. It requires time, discipline, study, reflection and commitment when genuine spiritual growth is desired. By examining each petition of the Lord’s Prayer, William Powell Tuck hopes that we can move beyond the common rote of the prayer and explore the depths of its meaning for our daily lives. The phrases of the Lord’s Prayer move us to focus on the divine presence of God and remind us of our ultimate dependence on God and responsibility to others. This prayer helps us to see the inclusiveness of God and gets us beyond our desire to be exclusive. 
William Powell Tuck invites us all to take a spiritual journey down the pathway of the Lord’s Prayer. Waiting for us there will be a greater awareness of the rich meaning of prayer.

Baptists have a rich and wonderful heritage. But I have discovered through listening and reading that many persons in our Baptist churches are unfamiliar with this legacy. There are many fine books that have been written about our Baptist history, but I have observed that few persons, especially laypersons, are willing to read these lengthy books. I have attempted in these chapters to present our Baptist heritage in a few pages. Included in this revised edition is a leaders guide terrific for facilitating group discussion and study.

Our Baptist Tradition

Without question the word “love” sums up the essence of our Christian faith; we are commanded to love God, our neighbors, ourselves, and our enemies. Nonetheless, many Christians struggle with living by this high standard of love in a world filled with injustice, cruelty, war, and division. To love in the face of these realities seems difficult, if not impossible. Sometimes Christians are afraid to practice love for fear of ridicule or being seen as weak. Is Jesus’ ethic of love, as some people assert, unrealistic for the modern world? William Tuck believes we cannot—must not—give way to this negative philosophy. Jesus has challenged us to move to a higher way, a way that offers us light, guidance, and hope on this difficult path. Love as a Way of Living will help readers understand the New Testament meaning of love and incorporate this love into daily living. We love because God first loved us. It is then our responsibility to understand, practice, and live authentically the way of love.

Love as a Way of Living

A Revolutionary Gospel focuses on the centrality of Rauschenbusch’s concept of salvation—his view of both personal and social salvation—in its relationship to the Kingdom of God in the teachings of Jesus. Rauschenbusch believed that Jesus’ teachings were revolutionary and aimed to bring about the moral transformation of the individual and society. William Powell Tuck describes how Rauschenbusch’s concept of redemption requires a transformation of society as well as individuals—and that no one can genuinely be redeemed without this redemption affecting the social culture as well. A Revolutionary Gospel shows us how Rauschenbusch’s revolutionary concept of salvation is still relevant today.
