Synopsis

J.P. Moreland—Christian philosopher, theologian, and apologist—issues a call to recapture the drama and power of kingdom living—to cultivate a revolution of Evangelical life, spirituality, thought, and Spirit-led power.Drawing insights from the early church, he unpacks three essential ingredients of this revolution:Recovery of the Christian mind.Renovation of Christian spirituality.Restoration of the power of the Holy Spirit.Western society is in crisis: the result of our culture's embrace of naturalism and postmodernism, and a biblical worldview has been pushed to the margins. Christians have been strongly influenced by these trends, with the result that their personal lives often reflect the surrounding culture more than the way of Christ, and the church's transforming influence on society has waned as a result.Kingdom Triangle is divided into two major sections:The first examines and provides a critique of secular worldviews and shows how they have ushered in the current societal crisis.The second lays out a strategy for the Christian community to regain the potency of kingdom life and influence in the world.Moreland believes that evangelical Christianity can mature and lead the surrounding society out of the meaningless morass it finds itself in with humility and vision. With clear insight, he puts the thoughtful Christian in a position to understand our current cultural struggle and to return to a responsible presentation of "the way of Christ" as not just a way of right living, but also a way of knowledge and meaningful life.

Learned more about Moreland than I knew from his other, more philosophical works. A refreshing book that is an encouragement toward total discipleship, not just intellectual discipleship.......more

Goodreads review by Bud on September 01, 2009

J. P. Moreland is one of my favorite authors, but this book only gets three stars for a couple of reasons. The material in the first several chapters was largely a restatement of things covered in his other books already listed on my Goodreads account. The material in the last chapter was interestin......more

Goodreads review by Eric on November 11, 2014

Moreland, ever faithful to the Lord, offers a fine (and challenging) effort in his attempt to bridge and find balance between two seemingly antithetical poles of the Christian experience: rigid anti-spiritual intellectualism and prevailing anti-intellectual spiritualism. The story of Moreland's pers......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on August 27, 2017

I was prepared to love this book, & maybe that was the problem: it wasn't ANYTHING like I thought it would be, after having read the book's description. Essentially a philosophical critique of postmodernism, more than anything else. Moreland has always been a sharp thinker, but this book missed the......more

Le but de J.P Moreland est d'encourager et montrer la voie vers la Réforme de notre église. Réussit-il sa mission? Oui sans réserve, de tous les livres qui parlent du sujet, il est celui qui touche le plus juste. Le livre est constitué en deux parties: 1. La crise de notre époque (description du pays......more
