Confucius For Christians
$18.99Add to cartThis book by Gregg Ten Elshof explores ways of using resources from the Confucian wisdom tradition to inform Christian living. Neither highlighting nor diminishing the differences between Confucianism and Christianity, Ten Elshof reflects on perennial human questions with the teachings of both Jesus and Confucius in mind.In examining such subjects as family, learning, and ethics, Ten Elshof sets the typical Western worldview against the Confucian worldview and considers how each of them lines up with the teachings of Jesus. Ten Elshof points to much that is deep and helpful in the Confucian tradition, and he shows how reflection on the teachings of Confucius can inspire a deeper and richer understanding of what it really means to live the Jesus way.

Christian Scholarship In The 21st Century
$25.99Add to cartThe Christian intellectual tradition, spanning thousands of years, provides considerable insight into perennial questions about human flourishing, virtue, justice, wealth and poverty, art and culture, spiritual growth, and more. This book springs out of the conviction that Christian scholars can do an enormous amount of good by bringing the resources of this tradition into conversation with the academy, the church, and the broader culture.Ten essays by such eminent scholars as Nicholas Wolterstorff and Alvin Plantinga offer deep and thought-provoking discussions of the habits and commitments of the Christian scholar, the methodology and pedagogy of Christian scholarship, the role of the Holy Spirit in education, the nature of Christ-shaped philosophy, Christian approaches to art and literature, and more.
