Publisher's Description
Must you believe something to be saved? Does the kingdom of God include non-Christians? Is hell for real and forever? These are big questions. Hard questions. Questions that divide Christians along conservative and liberal lines. Conservatives love their beliefs and liberals believe in their love. Each pushes the other to opposite extremes. Fundamentalists imply that it doesn’t matter how we live as long as we believe in Jesus, while some Emergent Christians respond that it doesn’t matter what we believe as long as we live like him. Theologian Michael Wittmer calls both sides out of bounds and crafts a third way that retains the insights of each. He examines ten key questions that confront contemporary Christians and shows why both right belief and right practice are necessary for authentic Christianity. Here is an urgent reminder that best practices can only arise from true beliefs. Genuine Christians never stop serving because they never stop loving, and they never stop loving because they never stop believing.

“Mike Wittmer wisely navigates through the rough waters of Christian extremism, showing that robust theological confession (belief ) and Christlike practical compassion (behavior) are always meant to go hand in hand.”
“the church today with great wisdom, simplicity, and refreshing clarity.”
Dr. Michael Horton
“As a raving fan of living like Jesus, I am delighted that Michael Wittmer has so effectively reminded us that you can run to Jesus but you can’t hide from the important belief structure that undergirds the way Jesus lived. This is an important read for all of us—especially for those of us who want to impact our world with the power of Jesus’ presence through us.”
