Possession and Persuasion: The Rhetoric of Christian Faith is a rhetorical analysis of Christian history and theology initially prompted by my experience in a fundamentalist Christian sect. The story of this experience is briefly told in the prologue, "The Rhetoric of Surrender," which describes the "surrender" of my life to God through a commitment to an authoritarian Christian sect in Gainesville, Florida, in 1972, when I was a freshman at the University of Florida. I spent the following fifteen years, first, as a student recruit, trainee, and then leader in the founding church in Gainesville, and then, as a recruiter and trainer in other parts of the U.S. until I finally left the movement (now called the International Churches of Christ) in 1987. I subsequently combined graduate study in rhetoric with a continuing interest in biblical and historical scholarship in an effort to understand how my religious experience fit into the broader context of Christian history and theology. I concluded that the New Testament language of faith, originally formulated to persuade hearers of the Christian message by means of understanding, had been radically redefined and its effects rhetorically reengineered by the ecclesiastical Christianity which had gradually emerged after the first century; this process of rhetorical reinvention produced a language of faith that possessed its hearers by means of a mystical form of indoctrination, in the interest of building a religious empire. The degree to which ecclesiastical Christianity, throughout its history, has taken its faith-language seriously--my experience having been produced by a movement that took this language to its logical conclusion --is the degree to which its adherents experience a religious bondage that amounts to the antithesis of the spiritual freedom and social equality of the original experience of Christian faith. Part I, "Faith as Possession," addresses critical changes made by post-apostolic theologians in the apostolic discourse of the New Testament about the message of Jesus, specifically with reference to the rhetorics of "authority" (Chapter One), "knowledge" (Chapter Two), and "justice" (Chapter Three). This rhetorical reengineering of apostolic language facilitated the rise of the institutional Church, which rapidly replaced the apostolic message as the authorized mediator between God and humanity in general and between God and the community of faith in particular. That is, the dynamic of persuasion by an eschatological message was rapidly replaced by the dynamic of possession by an ecclesiastical system. The redefinition and reconceptualization of these apostolic terms amounted to the rhetorical invention of Christianity, a form of Greco-Roman mythology which has little in common with the faith of Jesus as it is revealed in the New Testament. The faith of Christianity became, and continues to be to varying degrees, a form of possession insofar as it consists of, in both a mystical and an institutional sense, belonging to "the Church," which relieves its members of their responsibility for their own identity and destiny. Part II, "Faith as Persuasion," explores the rhetoric of three apostolic ideals, which have generally received little more than lip service by post-apostolic Christianity: "understanding" (Chapter Four), "anticipation" (Chapter Five), and "freedom" (Chapter Six). These concepts are integral to persuasion as the modus operandi of the apostolic Christian faith. Understanding is a prerequisite to authentic persuasion in that persuasion, or belief, without understanding is the essence of possession. In that the meaning and power of the Christian message are a matter of the hope of resurrection to life in the coming kingdom of God, anticipation is the logical response to being understandingly persuaded of the truth of the message. And insofar as internal bondage characterizes life without hope

"People don't abandon faith because they have doubts. People abandon faith because they think they're not allowed to have doubts." Too often, our honest questions about faith are met with cold confidence and easy answers. But false certitude doesn't result in strong faith—it results in disillusionment, or worse, in a dogmatic, overweening faith unable to see itself or its object clearly. Even as a pastor, Austin Fischer has experienced the shadows of doubt and disillusionment. In Faith in the Shadows, he leans into perennial questions about Christianity with raw and fearless integrity. He addresses contemporary science, the problem of evil, hell, God's silence, and other issues, offering not only fresh treatments of these questions but also a fresh paradigm for thinking about doubt itself. Doubt, Fischer contends, is no reason to leave the faith. Instead, it's an invitation to a more honest faith—a faith that's not in control, but that trusts more fully in its Lord.

Behold, I give you faith! Now, you have the ability to move and live and breathe in confidence; that everything you touch will work; all that you think about will become a positive influence and change lives; you will even become wealthy in the process. It would be absolutely wonderful for God to make that pronouncement to us and it becomes so. Fortunately and to what may be the ultimate paradox, the kind of faith we seek will only come by trials, perseverance, and yes, it is a journey that we all must take. Faith increases as it is used and grows exponentially when it is tested. The true depth of these "tests of faith" does not come because you decide to seek or pursue God more; these tests come because "faith" is alive and demands to be fed, even challenged. Admittedly, faith does appear to be somewhat illogical, but most goals or feats of greatness are often met with resistance; in the end, when the goal has been met, the feat obtained and the journey completed, it is only then, in clear hindsight that you realize that this was a test of your faith; subsequently, as you reflect on your travels, you think about all the things that you would have changed or done differently, only to later realize that if things were different you may not be who you are. The Logic of Faith is a reasonable a step along the path of your journey; through personal experiences, some good, some not so good, I share my experiences and trials of faith, so you can be enlightened and encouraged as you continue on your journey of understanding. Once you embrace and unite with your faith, the world will truly become your oyster and it will not matter where you are or what you are facing. My wife, Phyllis and our two sons, Ryan and Corban, are enjoying our journey of faith together; a journey that currently has us residing in Katy, Texas and a faith that will allow us to continue to move and live and have our being in Him.

A recent survey found that a large majority of people who describe themselves as Christians struggle with faith and often succumb to fear and unbelief. The enemy has used our lack of understanding, along with fear and unbelief, to rob us of our inherited blessings through Christ. For many, faith has become a social media hashtag or some positive force that everyone can access to facilitate a better life. However, faith is not a social media hashtag, nor is it some positive force flowing throughout the universe that we tap into like a Star Wars Jedi. The faith of the Bible, also known as kingdom faith, is the key to experiencing the manifestation of what God has freely given to every believer. Everything that our Lord and Savior provided through His death, burial, and resurrection is available and accessible by faith. Throughout the pages of this book, we explore what I call the process of kingdom faith. Webster defines a process as a series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular end. Just as there is a process to installing software on a computer or baking a cake, there is also a process to receiving what God promised in His Word. The process of kingdom faith incorporates various faith principles to move us from an expectation of the promises being fulfilled to experiencing the manifestation of those promises. It is my prayer that this book will lead you to a more intimate relationship with the Lord and will allow you to take full advantage of the benefits that God has given you through faith.

Faith is an all-important subject that really cannot be over-emphasized. The aim of this book is to provide the reader an understanding into the foundational truths of this all important kingdom mystery by which we must live. However, faith like many other important doctrines of scripture has not been properly understood. There have been some misconception and misunderstanding about this subject leading many to error and frustration. God did not make faith to be complex.Sadly, the average Christian knows little about the subject of faith- which by all counts is a primary and foundational doctrine of scripture. Any attempt to define and explain faith by the average Christian will most likely be a hazy and inconclusive analysis of this mystery. This ought not to be. This book is written to fill in this knowledge gap. In addition, a major focus of this book is to explain to the reader how to use the faith he has- that is because every believer has faith. One of the most profound scriptures on the subject of faith is found in Luke 17:5-6.The apostles asked the Lord to increase their faith. One would have expected that the Lord would increase their faith as they had asked, bearing in mind that more than a few times he had rebuked them for their doubt and unbelief. But the Lord answered entirely differently. He said if they had faith as little as a mustard seed, they will say to the sycamine tree, "Be uprooted!", and it will obey". By the Lord's response, it is apparent then that to Him, it definitely was not a matter of faith size first- whether they had little or great. Faith size was not the His major emphasis here. Two points for discussion jumps out from this.First, the apostles were not remotely aware of what they had- that is, they were not aware of the kind of faith they had or what it could do- its potential and power. They didn't know that a mustard-seed sized faith can uproot a tree. Second, they didn't know how to use or operate their faith and it would have done them no good even if they had an increase. It's just like someone who doesn't know how to farm or plant. No matter how much seed he gets he won't be able to make much of it. The disciples were focused on a faith increase. But as Jesus implicitly taught, the emphasis must be to know what this faith can do, and how this faith can be operated. In fact, the only way faith can effectively grow is by use.In Understanding Faith, we discuss and dissect the two points expressed here among others. We look to know the source, power, potential and dynamics of this faith that the believer has, and then we must learn how to operate and use this faith. This is what this book aims to achieve with the reader. I pray that as you read the pages of this book your eyes will be open to see deep truths from God's Word, which will result in a change in your mindset and an overall and effective transformation of your life in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

Trusting Jesus is hard. It requires following the unseen into an unknown, and believing Jesus's words over and against the threats we see or the fears we feel. Through the imaginative retelling of 35 Bible stories, Not by Sight gives us glimpses of what it means to walk by faith and counsel for how to trust God's promises more than our perceptions and to find rest in the faithfulness of God.
