いのちのことば社
「良き知らせ」をもっているはずの教会に、人々が足を運ばないのはどうしてか。教会が社会から遊離しているように見えるのは、なぜか。世の人々がクリスチャンをどう見ているかを省みつつ、消え失せてしまったと見える恵みを、枯渇した現代社会に伝える教会の使命とありようを問う。

Vanishing Grace
(Kakusareta Megumi)
Philip Yancey
Christians need to be as grace-filled in their behavior as they are in declaring their beliefs. Yancey asks why Christians continue to lose respect, influence, and reputation in modern culture. He explores what may have contributed to hostility toward Evangelicals, especially in their mixing of faith and politics instead of embracing more grace-filled ways of presenting the gospel. Yet while the opinions about Christianity are dropping, interest in spirituality is rising. Why the disconnect? People everywhere still thirst for grace. Grace can bring together Christianity and our post-Christian culture, inviting outsiders as well as insiders to take a deep second look at why our faith matters and about what could reignite its appeal to future generations. He offers illuminating stories of how faith can be expressed in ways that disarm even the most cynical critics. Then he explores what is Good News and what is worth preserving in a culture that thinks it has rejected Christian faith. B6* size, 464 pp.
