<p>Religion today comes in many forms. The arrival of the twenty-first century brought with it a wave of religious tolerance and indifference unlike any before. As Christians struggle to unfold the truth tangled by modernity and postmodernity, many choose to radically and disrespectfully oppose other religions or passively accept their possible validity for the sake of tolerance. The effects of religious pluralism in our world today make it increasingly difficult for the life-giving message of Christ to reach the hearts of those who need to hear it. How should Christians attempt to tell the Gospel story in a world that believes no one religion is right? How should Christians live and speak in the crowded marketplace of world religions?With Cords of Love presents Christians with an introduction to religious pluralism and offers a sound, loving response drawn from the essential doctrinal features of the Wesleyan theological tradition. This thorough examination discusses the historical, philosophical, and cultural factors that have contributed to religious pluralism and explores the major responses currently embraced in some Christian circles. In addition to this historical overview, it also outlines ways the Church can bear a hopeful, effective, and intelligible witness for the message of Christ. Using Paul’s response to the Athenians in the Book of Acts, With Cords of Love compels us to approach people from other religions with both respect and compassion, urging us to allow God to direct and guide our words and actions as we help to complete the work He’s already begun in their hearts.</p>

<p>What do people see when they look at us? Someone who reminds them of Jesus?Reflecting the Image is about moving closer to Christ so that we reflect his image brilliantly, as if in a mirror. It’s about getting so immersed in our relationship with Jesus that when people see us, they see him. The closer we are to him, the greater is his reflection in us.Drawing on Scripture and personal experiences, Reflecting the Image is an inspiring call to the individual and the church as a whole to turn completely to God and allow his grace to restore us fully to Christ’s image. Allow him to polish you so that when others see you, they see him instead.</p>
