Invloedryke Christianity Today se boek-toekennings vir die jaar
Die invloedryke evangeliese tydskrif Christianity Today se jaarlikse toekennings vir uitstekende publikasies is altyd ‘n bron van goeie leesstof. Dit bly waar van die toekennings vir 2024.
Die toekennings word in verskillende kategorieë gedoen. Die algehele wenner is ‘n boek wat aandui hoe die Bybel moderne kultuur uitlê. Tim Keller skryf in dié publikasie, Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible’s Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture, se voorwoord “a good theory make[s] visible the deep structures of a culture in order to expose and change them.”
Christopher Watkins, die outeur, beklemtoon:
Scripture does this better than anything else. Other critical theories—derived from deep analyses of race, gender, psychology, language, and law—might apply useful lenses to reality. But all are clouded or cracked to some degree, requiring a higher wisdom and a truer story to polish off the smudges and patch together the broken shards. God’s Word, in this sense, does more than explain God to the world. In unsurpassed fashion, it explains the world to itself.
Die moeite werd om te lees.
