“Different under God is the first substantial, comprehensive and scientific analysis of Christianity in Singapore, covering religious, social and political attitudes. This survey by Terence Chong and Hui Yew-Foong will be enthusiastically welcomed by todays sociologists and historians in the future. An important and timely contribution to the sociology of religion and to the study of Singapore.” —Bryan S. Turner, Presidential Professor of Sociology, the Graduate Centre, the City, University of New York, USA “This is a landmark study of Christianity in Singapore that is sorely needed today, not only to confirm many scholarly guesses, but also to dispel public stereotypes of Christians as homogeneously sheep-like or militant. Scholars and Singaporeans beware, Terence and Yew-Foong have started a fire that will enliven public discourse on religion and society for years to come.” —Daniel P.S. Goh, Assistant Professor of Sociology, National University of Singapore “Analysing individual and discussion-group responses from churchgoers in both mainline denominations and independent churches, this study grapples with a number of highly-relevant, even sensitive issues in contemporary Christianity: issues of moral values and attitudes (including those on sexuality and sexual orientation), money and giving, organizational belonging, governance, and others. While some of the findings and conclusions may reinforce broad perceptions of Christianity and churches in Singapore, others were quite eye-opening. Also useful for researchers, the study contains important data on respondents socio-economic backgrounds. All in all it is a most welcome scholarly contribution, and I expect that it will be a well-cited resource for future scholarship.” —Robbie B.H. Goh, Professor of English Literature, National University of Singapore

Spiritual maturity should manifest (Translate, reflect) in ones day-to-day Social life. This opening line by Lucas Come sets the tone for the pages ahead. It sets the tone for the journey you are about to embark on. It may sound as if the book is about an inward journey in which we are to absorb and yet the book is about sharing and giving as we receive. The life of the disciples is exactly about this. Jesus took time to have conversations with his disciples and with the people he encountered. In this book Lucas seeks to take us to the basics and the basis of life. We are people who are created to be in community and to be a community. This is a concept that has been lost in the 21st Century. Even though our faith calls us to be a people, we have instead chosen to be influenced by the world. The virtue today is to be the best at the expense of others. It is an isolating and lonely way of doing life. Conversations with one another and with God is carefully designed to call us out of our shell to share our stories and maybe only then will we have meaningful connections. This is the first thing that I want to bring forth as you begin to read this enriching bookbeing called out. The book itself is realistic as it tackles some of the issues that we deal with in life as ordinary believers who seek to be faithful disciples. Have you ever pondered the question of focusing on God? Is this not something we struggle to do most of the time? Richard J. Foster knows this truth as he reminds us that the world is always screaming trying to draw our attention. He says, In a culture where the landscape is dotted with shrines to the Golden Arches and an assortment of Pizza Temples, fasting seems out of place, out of step with the times. (Foster R.J.: 1978: Celebration of Discipline: The path to spiritual growth: 41) And yet on the other hand Jesus is this gentle voice that does not nag; this voice that is often drowned by consumerism, selfish promises, momentary success and many other things that offer us false hope. 14 Foreword Lucas invites us to focus on positive things. Those things that enable life not just for us, but others as well. This is another profound lesson for us especially in the Southern Africa today. For us to grow deeper in love with God we need to grow deeper in love for others as well. This way of doing life helps us to wipe our tear off and begin to see other peoples tears. We often focus on ourselves and end up drowning in our own sorrow and misery without any sense of being aware of what we can still do; not only for ourselves, but equally motivated to see our potential in journeying with others. The life of Jesus is marked by a journey that takes him to the people to be with the people. It is marked with people being drawn to Jesus. Jesus is receptive, embracing and loving. I enjoy Lucas perspective of Jesus as a better place. Do we ever get to a place of taking Jesus seriously such that our lives are founded on him? What would our lives look like if we were to put Jesus at the centre of how we do life? Could it be that we would begin to treat one another graciously? Could it mean that we would allow justice to flourish and inhumane habits shrink to almost non-existent? We often say, We are made in the image of God. Do we really understand the depth and the breadth of this phrase? It means God first and God last. It means living within the presence of God. It means living not as we please, but as God would be honoured. It means taking God seriously than wanting to see how much God takes us seriously. We live in a culture that seeks recognition as if God sometimes forgets about us. And yet the reality of Gods holiness comes from God not thinking God, but you and I. Therefore God will not promise to love us and then the next minute hurt us. God never plays games with us. God takes us seriously all the time. God takes us seriously even at times when we ta

Rock and roll is more than just music. Rock is a culture and an ideology, which carries its own ethos. It is forcefully countercultural and exists as a bane in the sight of dominant Western culture. As rock engages and critiques culture, it invariably encounters issues of meaning that are existential and theological. A transformational theology of rock begins with those existential and theological issues raised by and within rock music. With God On Our Side attempts to respond to these queries in a way that is faithful to the work of the kingdom of God on earth by mining our long theological tradition and seeing what cohesive responses can be made to the issues raised by rock music. At its best, rock acknowledges there is something wrong with the world, raises awareness of marginalized voices, and offers an alternative mode of existence within our present reality. By teasing out the theological issues found in rock music, this book synthesizes the findings to create a distinctive cultural theology that is sensitive to the plight of the marginalized in the West. In this way, the book offers a way forward towards a transformational theology of rock and roll.

In this era of distorted ideas about our inherent roles, identities, and purposes as men and women, it has never been as important that we seek reconciliation in marriage and families so there can be a more rational approach to the real problems the whole world suffers. We must disseminate God’s truth and extinguish the lies and myths that Satan has embedded into the hearts and minds of many people. Building on these ideas, in Male and Female Made in God’s Image, author Frances O’Dair offers her perspective on dating, marriage, and family, which she believes reflects the experiences of most married couples before the sexual revolution of the 1960s. She encourages men and women to reflect on the wise or self-serving natures of their past dating and mating choices. If we can stop the reckless self-gratifying use of human sexuality with our children, our loving direction and understanding of God’s truth can set them free from the temptations that have been passed down to recent generations. We must be ready to admit that sexual freedom is a myth and isn’t intended for the well-being of men, women, children, and the unborn. This faith-inspired treatise explores the true source of happiness, meaning, and fulfilment that God has planned for everyone within the sacrament of marriage and the family circle.

Until the end of the eighteenth century, almost everyone believed that the empirical world of science could produce evidence for a wise and loving God. By the twenty-first century this comforting certainty has almost vanished. What caused such a cataclysmic change in attitudes to science and to the world? Science and Spirituality offers a new history of the interaction between Western science and faith, which explores their volatile connection, and challenges the myth of their being locked in inevitable conflict. Journeying from the French Revolution to the present day, and taking in such figures as Francis Bacon, René Descartes, Charles Darwin, Immanuel Kant, Albert Einstein, Mary Shelley and Stephen Hawking, David Knight shows how science evolved from medieval and Renaissance forms of natural theology into the empirical discipline we know today. Focusing on the overthrow of Church and State in revolutionary France, and on the crucial nineteenth century period when a newly emerging scientific community rendered science culturally accessible, Science and Spirituality shows how scientific disenchantment has provided some of our most flexible and powerful metaphors for God, such as the hidden puppet-master and the blind watchmaker, and illustrates how questions of moral and spiritual value continue to intervene in scientific endeavour.

The problem of pain is a perennial one; and for those who undergo particular sufferings it can often be the largest obstacle for trusting in a good and loving God. If such a God exists, why is there so much suffering in the world? And how do we deal with it when it comes into our lives? In his most fullest and most passionately argued book since 2008's bestseller THE REASON FOR GOD, New York pastor and church planter Tim Keller brings his authoritative teaching, sensitivity to contemporary culture and pastoral heart to this pressing question, offering no easy answers but giving guidance, encouragement and inspiration.
