Afflicting the Comfortable, Comforting the Afflicted

Preaching & Worship

“One of the apostle Paul's secondary benefits after his Damascus Christ-encounter was his new 'Aha!' about the Hebrew Scriptures. What was new? Two very different covenants: one law and one promise. Today's Crossings Community, standing in this tradition, also celebrates this 'Aha!' about the Bible. The mantra: Read the Bible with law/promise lenses. Glenn Monson shows us how it's done--and, even more important--the payoff that follows for Christian proclamation. Yes, finally it is life or death.”

Mission Shaped by Promise

Evangelism & Missions

“The gospel is a promise; faith is trusting that promise. This is the cornerstone of Luther's theology. Kaariainen takes that cornerstone and builds a theology for Christian mission on it. He does so by attending to today's global context awash in a sea of faiths. Along the way, he weaves Luther's axiom into conversation with major voices in current, ecumenical mission studies. It's a game-changing accomplishment.”
