This is the first collection of essays to discuss the impact of the Cold War (1945-1990) on Christianity in East Asia. In historical overviews, case studies and theological reflections, scholars from Asia, Europe and North America explore the variety of ways in which the Cold War has shaped the churches' involvement in society, politics and culture. The Cold War continues to have an impact the Korean peninsula, in Greater China and throughout the region. Churches are challenged to address the issues of the past that affect Christian life today. [Die in diesem Band gesammelten Aufsätze setzen sich erstmals aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit den Auswirkungen des Kalten Krieges (1945-1990) auf das Christentum in Ostasien auseinander. In geschichtlichen Übersichten, Fallbeispielen und theologischen Erörterungen erkunden Wissenschaftler aus Asien, Europa und Nordamerika die vielfältigen Wege in denen er das Engagement der Kirchen in Gesellschaft, Politik und Kultur beeinflußt hat. Der Kalte Krieg wirkt auf der Koreanischen Halbinsel, China und vielen anderen Ländern der Region noch stets nach. Die Kirchen sind herausgefordert, sich diesem geschichtlichem Erbe zu stellen, das Auswirkungen bis in das christliche Leben heute hat.]
Islam is on the rise all over the West, including America. In this compelling new book, bestselling author Erwin Lutzer urges Christians to see this as both an opportunity to share the gospel and a reason for concern. We have now reached a tipping point—the spread of Islam is rapidly altering the way we live. These changes are cause for alarm, for they endanger our freedoms of speech and religion. At the same time, this opens an incredible door of ministry for Christians, for Muslims normally do not have access to the gospel in their own lands. In The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, readers will discover helpful answers to these questions and more: How does Islam’s growing influence affect me personally? In what ways are our freedoms of speech and religion in danger? How can I extend Christ’s love to Muslims around me? A sensitive, responsible, and highly informative must-read!
