In the Shadow of the Cross
Today I had the honor of speaking with Glenn Penner, the author of this great new book called In the Shadow of the Cross.
Glenn is such a great guy who genuinely loves the persecuted church and has a tremendous desire to inform and educate others about what is happening to the suffering Body of Christ.
Glenn tells us a little bit about what his new book is about:
The Bible (especially the New Testament) was written by persecuted believers to persecuted believers. This context cannot be ignored without it having profoundly negative implications for how we read and apply the Bible and how we follow Christ individually and corporately. A cross-centered gospel requires cross-carrying messengers." —Glenn M. Penner, from In the Shadow of the Cross
Did you catch that...the Bible was written by persecuted believers to persecuted believers. Never forget that.
With In the Shadow of the Cross, you can join Glenn Penner as he explores suffering and persecution through the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.
Included are observations and studies from nearly 200 Christian scholars, both ancient and modern. Never before has such an intensive study of persecution in the Bible been assembled.No student of the Bible should be without this incredible resource!
Sounds great doesn't it? I think so, and so much so that I've asked Glenn to do an audio interview with us so that we may discuss his book a little bit more. So stay tuned for this upcoming event. You will not want to miss it!
