Description

One of the greatest challenges facing Christians today is the powerful influence of secular thinking. From all directions we’re fed a constant barrage of persuasive—yet unbiblical—worldviews. This makes it difficult to know where to stand on today’s most talked-about issues.

The leadership team at Grace Community Church, along with their pastor, John MacArthur, provide much-needed discernment and clarity in the midst of rampant confusion. Using the Bible as the foundation, you’ll learn how to develop a Christian perspective on key issues. Also included is a topical reference guide of Bible verses that address key concerns—a guide that will arm you with right thinking and biblical answers to challenging questions.

Spring ’19 J-Term

Required AFLBS textbook for J-Term: Virtue Ethics course, taught by Dr. Nathan Olson.

While there are a number of things that John MacArthur and I disagree on (e.g. Sacramental Theology, Soteriology, Eschatology, etc.), one of the things that he provides in his book Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong is a helpful framework and launching point for a discussion about the intersection of the Christian life with a number of current and controversial ethical discussions. Throughout this work, the Christian reader will be confronted with a biblical reaction to topics such as God-honoring romance and Christian boundaries, the right to life, gender identity, political interaction, and the problem of suffering. It’s my hope that this book causes you to think critically about these issues and to honestly evaluate what the Bible has to say about them.
