When over 900 followers of the Peoples Temple religious group committed suicide in 1978, they left a legacy of suspicion and fear. Most accounts of this mass suicide describe the members as brainwashed dupes and overlook the Christian and socialist ideals that originally inspired Peoples Temple members. Hearing the Voices of Jonestown restores the individual voices that have been erased so that we can better understand what was created-and destroyed-at...

It is reported that on average Americans change their religious affiliation at least once during their lives. Today, a number of evangelical Christians are converting to Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism. As such, there is great need for a resource that cogently presents an evangelical response to these competing faith traditions. Evangelical Christians, however, need not only theological answers, but a deeper understanding of the obvious...

I frequently comment about the great energy in the local church in the 70's. The services were powerful and the fellowship electrifying. Acts chapter 2 was alive and fully functional. What has happened? Has God changed? Of course not! The church has shifted to a reclusive state and that atmosphere of disunity has affected multitudes of Christians. The fertile ground and foundation of the church are intact and ready to be built upon, once again.

Solvable?
Absolutely.
Three focus areas get us moving in the right direction.

La littérature sur le thème des Églises d'initiative africaine est très abondante en anglais, mais ce phénomène n'est pas encore un sujet de réflexion très abordé et approfondi dans le monde francophone. Il suscite souvent des réactions stéréotypées et négatives qui contrastent avec l'appréciation positive des membres et des promoteurs des Églises d'initiative africaine. Comment faut-il donc voir ce mouvement d'envergure croissante?
