Publisher's Description

▼▲

What does it mean for someone to be saved? Can someone every lose his salvation? Why is church important? What is the purpose of being regularly involved in church?

Every world religion tries to answer the question of what’s wrong with the human condition and tries to offer a solution, essentially asserting their own version of what it means to be saved or made right with God. Of course, most religions’ solutions focus on good deeds. They say if we behave a certain way and persist in a lifestyle of good works, then all will be well for us in the end.

Unlike the world religions, Christianity’s answer doesn’t involve earning God’s favor and grace through good works. Instead, it teaches something radically different: God’s grace through the work of Jesus on our behalf.

In Volume 5 of Milestones, we explore questions surrounding the doctrine of salvation, as well as questions surrounding the doctrine of the church. Over the course of eight sessions, students will:

uncover key theological truths about salvation and the church.
unpack why those truths are important.
discover ways to engage their community and culture in light of them.

It is our hope that by going through this volume, students will grow in their personal knowledge and understanding of God and His bride, the church. We also hope God will use this study to equip another generation to boldly proclaim the truth about who Jesus is and the message of hope He has provided through the gospel to a world that desperately needs it.

Editorial Reviews

Believers need to know the story of their own faith, and Christianity: The Biography is a great place to start. It covers fascinating figures, movements and trends across two millennia without ever getting bogged down or side-tracked. It is not only clear and accessible, but also inspiring and wise. -- Timothy Larsen, McManis Professor of Christian Thought, Wheaton College

Christians today have largely lost their historical memory, and it is no surprise that as a result many are struggling to agree on the right way ahead for the church. Ian Shaw's remarkable book, encompassing in one volume the entire chronological and geographical range of Christian history, will prove invaluable in helping Christians to recover their historical memory and hence to find wisdom for the future. -- Brian Stanley, Professor of World Christianity, University of Edinburgh

I've enjoyed Christianity: The Biography enormously! What an original idea. It presents the current scholarship in church history in a very engaging way. I hope this book is widely read... An absolutely outstanding volume! -- Ian Randall, Senior Research Fellow, Spurgeons College

So-called 'histories of the church' are often essentially histories only of the church in the West. It is a joy to meet one that recognizes that 'world Christianity' began in the early centuries, and that the story of the Christian faith is a six-continent one. It is a joy also to find it so helpful and well written -- Professor Andrew F. Walls, University of Edinburgh, Liverpool Hope University and Akrofi-Christaller Institute, Ghana

The more we learn about Christianity's global reach, the more urgent is the need to re-frame how we understand Christian history. This book gets it right. It offers fascinating accounts of Christianity entering the ancient civilizations of Persia, India and China and its transformation of Ethiopia, Egypt and the Sudan -- even while it was reaching the wild tribes of the remote British Isles. We learn too about the rise of Islam, the modern missions movement and the rapid worldwide spread of Pentecostalism. In sum, this text is a lively treatment of a truly global faith. -- Professor Joel Carpenter, Nagel Institute for the Study of World Christianity, Calvin College, Grand Rapids
