God Calling

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“How can Christians learn God’s specific will for daily life? Not by observing signs, nor by practicing over-subjective ‘conversational prayer,’ nor by ascetic disciplines such as fasting, but by growing into Christ’s character as described in the general precepts of Scripture, then making sensible decisions to meet needs around us, empowered by God’s Spirit. Kilmartin offers a sane (and in places controversial) corrective to individualism, materialism, and hyperspirituality in the North American church.”

Reading Revelation After Supersessionism

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Has God rejected Israel and transferred his covenant to the church?—a claim based not least on the Christian Apocalypse. Korner, a specialist in its ecclesiology, argues not: the Revelation’s portrayal of God’s multi-ethnic people in terms of Jewish history, imagery, and literary techniques, far from displacing Israel, ‘emplaces’ the church within God’s irrevocable covenant with Abraham’s children. Korner’s challenge to supersessionism in this NT book should prompt careful review of our exegetical tradition.”
