Does Christianity mean anything outside the walls of your church?Does the rule of Christ extend beyond the confines of your heart?Christians have forgotten the comprehensive nature of our faith and abandoned almost every area of cultural influence. We have retreated within our church walls and kept only a slight grip on what we consider spiritual things while surrendering the earth and all that is in it, to the enemies of Christ. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. We must not continue to fall back but advance!Advancing the Kingdom is a sixteen chapter Christian worldview workbook. Schanzenbach writes with the understanding that there is no area of study or work in this world that is neutral. All things are created by God which gives Christians tremendous opportunity to glorify God in their work and study and by applying themselves to a broad variety of vocations.Most Christians today apply God's Word only to the areas of morals and evangelism. Dr. Schanzenbach demonstrates that the Bible has much more to say than that. It has wisdom and application for us in every vocation as we take every thought captive to Christ and His Word.The Advancing the Kingdom workbook includes chapters on history, biology, philosophy, civil law, education, government, mathematics, geography, sociology, psychology, literature, economics, the arts, and more. This 2nd edition is revised and updated to reflect current statistics and research.This book is excellent for personal or group study and is suitable for teens and adults.
