Description
Christian, meet your conscience.
What do you do when you disagree with other Christians? How do you determine which convictions are negotiable and which are not? How do you get along with people who have different personal standards?
All of these questions have to do with the conscience. Yet there is hardly a more neglected topic among Christians. In this much-needed book, a New Testament scholar and a cross-cultural missionary explore all thirty passages in the New Testament that deal with the conscience, showing how your conscience impacts virtually every aspect of life, ministry, and missions. As you come to see your conscience as a gift from God and learn how to calibrate it under the lordship of Jesus Christ, you will not only experience the freedom of a clear conscience but also discover how to lovingly interact with those who hold different convictions.
Offers guiding principles for understanding our consciences and engaging with those who hold different convictions
Written by an experienced New Testament scholar and a veteran missionary
Contains practical advice for common cross-cultural ministry pitfalls
Includes helpful diagrams and tables for understanding key concepts
Foreword written by theologian D. A. Carson
