A Christian Response To Islam: Is Islam A Peaceful Religion?, Steven E. Tsoukalas Jan 2006

A Christian Response To Islam: Is Islam A Peaceful Religion?, Steven E. Tsoukalas

The Asbury Journal

The following is a lecture delivered on 6 October 2005 as part of the Theta Phi Lecture Series at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky As a Christian response to Islam, it covers several topics in relatively brief fashion. In the evangelistic encounter, the goal of which is a holistic encounter, the Christian must keep in mind the social-religious dynamics ofMuslims and incorporate this knowledge into a missiologically healthy approach that is built on a sound epistemological foundation. In short, for both a Christian response to Islam and evangelism of Muslims, Christians must possess a solid epistemology as foundational to "a …


The Third Moment Of Muslim Witness: John Wesley Had It Right, Terry C. Muck Jan 2006

The Third Moment Of Muslim Witness: John Wesley Had It Right, Terry C. Muck

Using two sermons by John Wesley, Sermon 63, "The General Spread of the Gospel" …

"How Wide Thy Healing Streams Are Spread": Constructing A Wesleyan Pentecostal Model Of Healing For The Twenty-First Century, Kimberly Ervin Alexander

The Asbury Journal

Eternal depth of love divine,

In Jesus, God with us, displayed;

How bright Thy beaming glories shine!

How wide Thy healing streams are spread!

With whom dost Thou delight to dwell?

Sinners, a vile and thankless race:

O God, what tongue aright can tell

How vas They love, how great They grace!

The dictates of Thy sovereign will

With joy our grateful hearts receive:

All Thy delight in us fulfil;

Lo! All we are to Thee we give

To They sure love, Thy tender care,

Our flesh, soul, spirit, we resign:

O fix They sacred presence there,

And seal the …
