Описание книги

What is the good news? If the gospel that Jesus taught is so good, why are Christians so bad? How can Christians relate to people of other faiths or of no faith at all? Bible teacher Henry Neufeld wrestles with these issues in this book. This is not a book of theology. It is his personal testimony of what Jesus means in his life, and how one can be both a serious, committed Christian and a strong proponent of diversity and dialogue. In fact, he finds in the gospel not just permission to be tolerant, but a command to be open, honest, and clear in his convictions, and yet non-judgmental of the views of others. Henry's understanding of Christianity is built around the incarnation. If God can cross the gap between the infinite and the finite to experience life with us, surely we can cross the gap between ourselves and our fellow human beings. «You are never more God-like than when you open your heart's door to another person. The more different they are, the more God-like that action is,» he says in describing how Christians should seek to build relationships.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel

Confessions of a Liberal Charismatic

But let me go one step further. Let’s not unite as Christians in order to combat all those of other religions or people of no religion. Let’s unite as a witness. Let’s unite to show what God’s love can do when it is displayed through a group of people who care more about loving one another than they do about whether their theology is in perfect order, or whether their beliefs are perfectly correct, or whether they are socially acceptable to us. Let’s not be embarrassed over who we associate with any more than Jesus was.

There are some who will ask whether this book is intended as evangelistic. In one sense, I will say yes. I have gained great peace through my relationship to God through Jesus Christ, and I value my experiences. I’m sharing that in this book. If you don’t want to read what I have to share, don’t read the book. I say that seriously and without offense. You can tell me directly that you’re not interested if you like. It’s not a problem. I firmly believe your relationship to God, if any, is strictly your business and God’s.
