Built upon the Rock

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Today’s evangelical world abounds with hidden, worldly assumptions about the nature of the church which, in turn, have led to wrong-headed approaches to pastoral leadership and practice. Whether we like it or not, western culture has conditioned us to view successful churches and their ministries in terms of size and numbers. We have created a toxic culture where pragmatism rules and self-promotion flourishes. Bobby Jamieson, Mark Dever and Jonathan Leeman provide the antidote by giving us a healthy dose of the doctrine of the church in Built upon the Rock: The Church in a way that is thoroughly biblical, personal and accessible. Church leaders will discover that this is an important resource that will challenge and enlarge our understanding of the church and invites us to recalibrate our views and expectations about ministry. I will be recommending this book to our students as a ‘must-read.’”

Moral Choices

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“I regard Scott Rae’s latest book, the fourth edition of Moral Choices, as the most impressive work on Christian ethics that I have read in the last few decades. Written by an outstanding teacher and scholar, this is the one book that I would recommend to students, church leaders, and political decision-makers who want a sophisticated but easy-to-read guide through the maze of modern ethical decision-making. Situating ethics within an overall framework of worldview, this work masterfully explains and evaluates the various ethical systems, provides a suggested model for moral decision-making, and offers up-to-date and real life working examples of some sensible and satisfying solutions available to modern ethicists.”
