"Knowing Christ Today: Why we can trust spiritual knowledge" is Dallas Willard's latest book. In it he encourages our Christian spiritual formation by arguing that Christian thought is true knowledge and not merely the product of preferences and emotion. Chapters seven and eight alone are worth the price of admission. In them, Willard tackles these two important and timely subjects: "Knowledge of Christ and Christian Pluralism" and "Pastors as Teachers of the Nations."
Pastor Bill's summer reading included The Courage To Be Protestant: Truth-Lovers, Marketers, And Emergents In The Postmodern World, by David F. Wells. As the title suggests, Professor Wells believes that in the attempt to be "relevant" to our age, something of the core of Protestant faith has been lost.
