Pursuing Moral Faithfulness

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“From his rich experiences as both pastor and professor, Gary Tyra has put his finger on the relatively overall poor condition of Christians' moral discipleship to Jesus, especially due to a pervasive relativism, postmodernism and moralistic therapeutic deism. But he is not just offering here a textbook on moral theories and the identification of what has gone wrong. Nor is he simply trying to develop a decision-making procedure we can methodically apply when facing ethical dilemmas. Much more importantly, he presents a deeply needed corrective to this discipleship deficit. He helps us see the need for balance in our lives between embodying biblical moral principles and virtues, and the need to consider carefully the results of our actions and be responsible for them. Most importantly, he shows us how we can draw upon and listen to the heart of God for guidance in a deeply intimate, personal relationship with him. I highly recommend it.”

Apologetics

“Andrew Shepardson has done evangelicals a great service. He carefully has exposited and assessed the views of several leading postmodern evangelicals who reject natural theology and apologetics. Contrary to their claims, he makes a compelling case that these tools are not dead in our postmodern milieu; indeed, they are vitally needed. His recommendations for Christian education and churches should be taken to heart. This book should be read carefully by evangelical academics, pastors, and students.”
