Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, The Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory, was a pioneer in inclusion. At a time when exclusion was the norm, when people with disabilities were essentially locked out of "mainstream" schools, the workforce, and society at large, when families with loved ones who were not deemed "typical" often splintered due to social pressures and stigma, the Rebbe advocated and called for inclusion. With love, compassion, and respect, the Rebbe drew in those whom society all too often pushed away. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Rebbe's approach to inclusion was how perfectly natural it was to him. The Rebbe's call for inclusion did not result from the latest medical studies, societal shifts, or external pressures; it came from within. Inclusion and the Power of the Individual tells a remarkable story of the Rebbe's perspective on, and advocacy for, inclusion by recounting his teachings, writings, and conversations on this topic throughout the four decades of his public leadership of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The Rebbe's message remained steadfast and unwaivering: Every single human being is worthy of dignity, respect, love, and inclusion. These are the accounts of the Rebbe's call for inclusion.

This is a work of practical theology and cultural philosophy, demonstrating the religious nature of all human actions and institutions. In The Mission of God, Joe Boot examines the historic biblical perspective on everyday cultural matters, demonstrating the abiding validity and authority of the whole word of God for every area of life. He writes in the introduction, "What is the calling of God's covenant people in history? What is the kingdom of God and how does it manifest itself? What does the reign of God look like and how are we to discern God working? What is the relationship between faith and public morality and policy? What should be the relationship between church and state? Is religious pluralism a biblically compatible and workable theology of state? Does the church have a future in history? Are Christians called to transform cultures? In short, what is the mission of God and what part do we have to play? These questions have become increasingly pertinent for the church today, especially in the Western world, because it is widely recognized that Western civilization is facing an epochal turning point." The Mission of God is an exhortation to rediscover and return to a robust biblical faith in the lordship of Christ for every area of life.

Philosophy

Culture is something we build, something we do with creation; it is the outward expression of a people’s worship, in terms of which they cultivate their society, including its law, education, arts and customs and much more besides. Whether we realize it or not, we all participate daily in culture-building of one form or another. The gospel of the kingdom is the good news that Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords, and that he is at work to redeem this fallen world, remaking it in accordance with his good purposes. To speak of gospel culture, then, is to speak of a total meaning for the cosmos, a design plan. The gospel has something to say about the way we go about all our cultural activities. God’s Word is a total structuration of life and thought. If we would see Jesus Christ honoured and worshipped, if we would see our Lord’s will done on earth as it is in heaven, then we must faithfully consider the scriptural view of the gospel and its implications for culture. “Dr. Joseph Boot…is a rigorous thinker, uncompromisingly committed to biblical truth and unafraid to articulate it in the boldest way. He is a cultural theologian of the highest order.”—P. Andrew Sandlin, Founder and President, Center for Cultural Leadership, Coulterville, California, U.S.A.

Social Sciences

How should we think about Christian apologetics in a society where people are encouraged to discover, determine and live their own truth? In this short book, Joe Boot explains that Christ-centred gospel witness is about getting to the heart of a person, for the root of unbelief is a heart condition, not a lack of evidence or convincing arguments. Dr. Boot considers some of the prevailing worldviews in the West today, demonstrating that their foundational problem is a refusal to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King. As we engage in witnessing to the gospel of the Kingdom, the heart and its attachment to cherished lies must be taken into account. Gospel Witness is part of the Cornerstones series of short books for Christians wishing to strengthen their understanding of the scope and implications of the gospel in the twenty-first century.

The 'Two Kingdoms' controversy has become a matter of increasing scholarly debate in recent decades. However, this is one debate which is not confined to the academy. As Willem J. Ouweneel demonstrates in The World is Christ's, behind the scholarly terms lie very practical, everyday questions, such as where to shop, whether and how to vote, and how to educate our children. The Two Kingdoms controversy is at root a question of how we ought to understand and live in a world that refuses to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord. Dr. Ouweneel details a number of historical, logical, and exegetical considerations surrounding these questions, and helps readers understand that everything we do is an act of worship--the issue is whether our worship is directed toward God or away from him. It is through us that God wants to realize his kingdom, every day a bit further, in every domain of life, because the world is Christ's.

The very different meanings of the rainbow symbol in our world reflect a fundamental worldview divide. Understanding how our view of homosexuality is linked to our view of spirituality and to our view of God will help us see the deep theological implications for Christians as they seek to minister to homosexual, lesbian and gender-confused neighbours and friends.

Cardiologist Dr. Ted Fenske is no armchair director when it comes to living out his Christian obedience at work. In Keeping Faith in Medicine, Ted invites us to walk alongside him through the years of medical school, residency, and early practice, when he was fiercely focused on professional performance. His own deeply personal story of a temporary loss of this all-consuming professional identity through sudden illness leads to his story of recovering his identity in Christ above all others, and how this has prepared him to take on the priestly role of the doctor in the service of the Great Physician.

"Behold your King, before Him lowly bend." The words of this Christmas carol are familiar to most of us, but how well have we understood the scope of their message? The Christmas season is a time for us to remember that glorious event, the incarnation of our King. But it is also a time of anticipation. In remembering the arrival of our King, we see the beginnings of the fulfillment of God's promises, that in Jesus Christ, He is reconciling the whole world to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19).This daily Advent guide is meant to help God's people approach the Advent season in a spirit of anticipation, to relive and reflect on the nativity story, and to remember that because of King Jesus, we who were once His enemies are made His friends.
