This volume is issued in accordance with a plan formed by Mr. Spurgeon; indeed, he had already prepared the greater part of the material here published, and the rest of his manusripts have been inserted after only slight revision. It was his intention to deliver to the students of the Pastors' College a short course of Lectures upon what he termed"that most royal employment" SOUL-WINNING, and, having completed the series, he purposed to collect his previous utterances to other audiences upon the same theme, and to publish the whole for the guidance of all who desired to become soul-winners, and with the hope also of inducing many more professing Christians to engage in this truly blessed service for the Saviour.

Jesus is in the news as much now as  ever before. Whenever there is new  evidence or a new analysis about Jesus,  the newspapers get interested. Many  continued to be fascinated by the  person of Jesus and by whether or not  he actually did and said what the New  Testament Gospels say he  did.This new book, written in a  lively, non-technical style by biblical  theologian Tom Wright, is an ideal  introduction for anyone approaching the  subject of the "historical Jesus" for  the first time.In The  Original Jesus Wright focuses on  key stages in Jesus' life and on key  elements of his teaching. In the  process, Wright presents a vivid  reconstruction of what Jesus himself  was aiming to achieve and how the  movement he began can best be  understood in relation to the turbulent  politics and fervent aspirations of his  day. Wright also looks at the way we  interpret the different Gospel  narratives about Jesus, showing how  modern readers coming fresh to these  texts can do so in an informed and  discriminating way.Based on  rigorous historical research and  featuring numerous full-color  illustrations as well as short, clear  chapters, The Original Jesus  offers compelling insight into what  Jesus really stood for, why he was  crucified, and how it was that his  followers came to regard him as nothing  less than the human face of  God.

Has something indeed happened to evangelical theology and to evangelical churches? According to David Wells, the evidence indicates that evangelical pastors have abandoned their traditional role as ministers of the Word to become therapists and "managers of the small enterprises we call churches." Along with their parishioners, they have abandoned genuine Christianity and biblical truth in favor of the sort of inner-directed experiential religion that now pervades Western society. Specifically, Wells explores the wholesale disappearance of theology in the church, the academy, and modern culture. Western culture as a whole, argues Wells, has been transformed by modernity, and the church has simply gone with the flow. The new environment in which we live, with its huge cities, triumphant capitalism, invasive technology, and pervasive amusements, has vanquished and homogenized the entire world. While the modern world has produced astonishing abundance, it has also taken a toll on the human spirit, emptying it of enduring meaning and morality. Seeking respite from the acids of modernity, people today have increasingly turned to religions and therapies centered on the self. And, whether consciously or not, evangelicals have taken the same path, refashioning their faith into a religion of the self. They have been coopted by modernity, have sold their soul for a mess of pottage. According to Wells, they have lost the truth that God stands outside all human experience, that he still summons sinners to repentance and belief regardless of their self-image, and that he calls his church to stand fast in his truth against the blandishments of a godless world. The first of three volumes meant to encourage renewal in evangelical theology (the other two to be written by Cornelius Plantinga Jr. and Mark Noll), No Place for Truth is a contemporary jeremiad, a clarion call to all evangelicals to note well what a pass they have come to in capitulating to modernity, what a risk they are running by abandoning historic orthodoxy. It is provocative reading for scholars, ministers, seminary students, and all theologically concerned individuals.

This unique collection of six "letters" written by Denise Ackermann to family and friends both living and dead is one woman's account of her life, faith, and work as an Anglican theologian during South Africa's apartheid years and afterwards. 
In the letters, which are intensely personal memoirs as well as reviews of the theological and political issues that have marked her career as a feminist Christian in a deeply wounded society, Ackermann discusses such issues as identity and difference, her struggles with sexism and racism, the power of naming, the evils of the apartheid years, the scourge of AIDS, and the function of faith in the midst of misery and conflict. 
"After the Locusts" will interest a great range of readers; few will fail to find insights of profound relevance to the task of living Christianly in today's trying world.
