| Résumé : |
Take an Active Stand for Christ to Make a Difference in Today’s World.
The major social and global issues of our day have polarized Christians — while some believe we need to take a radical stance, others believe we should not get involved with the world’s concerns. Human Rights and Human Wrongs shows you that it is our responsibility to demonstrate Christs love through participation in social action. John Stott begins this discussion by documenting the evangelical heritage of service that originated with the ministry of Jesus Christ and the apostles and culminated with the social reforms and economical improvements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He then examines today's critical issues and stresses the urgent need to meet the crises of our time with "a Christian mind". |
