Résumé : |
"We live in an unprecedented and explosive day. Never before has the world been so pregnant with the possibility of peace and yet so horribly wracked by poverty, revolution, environmental destruction and despair. Where to go from here is not an academic question - it is a matter of life and death. And those of us who have eternity alive in our hearts have the awesome privilege of entering into the pain and promise of this world, bringing with us all the resources of Jesus’ kingdom."
So writes world traveler Gordon Aeschliman at the beginning of this insightful book. GlobalTrends is vital reading for Christians who long to understand the events of the day and what they mean for the church's mission. Key trends include: - The spread of Islam - The threat of ecological disaster - The epoch-making revolutions in Eastern Europ - The disintegration of the Soviet empire - The declining influence of the US |
