Europe has changed, not only because of the refugee flows of 2015, but first and foremost because of a fundamental political change of climate. The hopes that many had associated with a united and free Europe have given way to fears and insecurity, which in many cases have opened the door to populism and nationalism right up into the heart of government. Instead of hope, pessimism prevails inmany cases today, and fear shapes the social climate.But Schirrmacher writes: "Hope is typical for Christians" and "Hope creates real future." These two examples show that the author's 66 theses have lost none of their relevance, and that it is perhaps even more important today that Christians reappraise the biblical-theological basis of their hope.It ismy hope that this book about hope will contribute to a better and biblically founded understanding of hope.Rev. Dr. Frank Hinkelmann, President of the European Evangelical Alliance

Die meisten Leute sind der Meinung, dass sie nur schlecht auswendig lernen können, aber Andrew Page hat die Entdeckung gemacht, dass man sich die Reihenfolge der Ereignisse im Markus-Evangelium sehr leicht merken kann. Dieses Buch will kein Kommentar sein, sondern zu einem Experiment einladen: Jesus neu kennen lernen, indem man sich die Jesus-Geschichte selbst erzählt. Damit bietet das Markus-Experiment einen neuen und faszinierenden Zugang zur Bibel. Ein Resultat dieses Buches ist das Markus-Theater, bei dem 15 Christen einer Gemeinde oder einer Studentengruppe jede Begebenheit des Markusevangeliums als Rundtheater aufführen. Das Markus-Theater findet in zahlreichen Ländern statt.

The Mark Experiment

This book is based on a series of lectures which the author delivered during the fall of 2003 as a guest professor at the prestigious Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea.  Aware that the Korean Church has now taken over the lion's share of the recruitment and world-wide deployment of trans-cultural missionaries, the author seeks to equip students spiritually for the encounter with adherents of non-Christian belief systems and of anti-Christian movements. Avoiding mere alarmism, the intention is to give positive guidelines for persuasively presenting the biblical truth. Today the Gospel's claim that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life, apart from whom salvation cannot be attained, is contested not only externally by rival religions and quasi-religious ideologies; it is challenged  within Christendom itself by those who deny the objectivity of biblical revelation and advocate an inter-faith dialogue aiming at a mere friendly sharing of spiritual experiences. Giving in to such a mentality severs  the very roots of the Christian missionary vocation, as we see, alas, within a large segment of Western  Christians today. Since the days of the Apostles and Church Fathers, evangelistic witness to and apologetic defence of the truth have always constituted two inseparable prongs of missionary outreach. The publication of these lectures is guided by the hope that the book may open many minds to the urgent relevance of this insight.

Mission and Apologetics

Beyerhaus, Peter

What would you do if someone gave you a leopard cat kitten that was far too small to survive on its own? How would you convince an Indonesian bus driver to take one more passenger, when the bus is already full? Why did the house of the missionary become an asylum for the older women by night? Why would a German computer scientist translate the New Testament into the language of an Indonesian people group? Discover the answers to these questions and many more, as the author Hildegard Berg shares her exciting stories. The reader is transported to a small village in Southern Sumatra to join Hildegard in her daily life as Bibletranslator to the Serawai, a small people group in South Sumatra, where God intervened in the most surprising and unconventional ways. "I enjoyed the stories immensely and it awakened within me the desire to visit Sumatra myself. The last chapter reduced me to tears - it was very moving."(Jenny Carter, England)

Trails Through the Jungle: Life Stories from South Sumatra

Berg, Hildegard

This book examines the implications of Newbigin's understanding of the Kingdom of God for his theology of mission. Newbigin's theological thinking is based on an eschatologically oriented historical understanding of revelation. The gospel tells God's story with his world. In Christ the reign of God has been revealed on earth, yet its final consummation is still to come.

Like a wildfire the Anabaptist movement swept through Europe during the Protestant Reformation. The "Third Branch of the Reformation" involved thousands who lived in our cities and streets. Countless numbers suffered martyrdom, among whom was the theologian Dr. Balthasar Hubmaier. In 1528 he was burned alive in Vienna. One noteworthy group was the Hutterites, named after their founder Jakob Hutter. Approximately 50,000 Hutterites live today in colonies and speak an old Austrian German dialect. Their 500-year-old legacy can be traced from Tyrol and Lower Austria to the prairies of North America. The Anabaptist Museum recalls this forgotten chapter of Austrian history and culture. In the Museumsdorf Niedersulz, the biography of the Anabaptists is exhibited in a unique way, from its 16th Century roots up to the evangelical churches of the present.
