Ever since Martin Luther penned his thoughts in "The Bondage of the Will", Christians have debated over the level of self-determination found in Man. A debate not restricted to the Christian Community alone, but vigorously argued within the Secular realm as well. This book was written to encourage fellow believers, including those still sitting on the fence, not to be polarized by divergent biblical views (which sadly it too often does), but rather critically review what our own understanding is. It motivates as much a self-test and confrontation to review our own ingrained tradition, as well ...
Ever since Martin Luther penned his thoughts in "The Bondage of the Will", Christians have debated over the level of self-determination found in Man. A debate not restricted to the Christian Community alone, but vigorously argued within the Secular realm as well. This book was written to encourage fellow believers, including those still sitting on the fence, not to be polarized by divergent biblical views (which sadly it too often does), but rather critically review what our own understanding is. It motivates as much a self-test and confrontation to review our own ingrained tradition, as well as challenges us not to lean only on tradition on what was heard and how one was brought up in forming our own paradigm for life. To this end the reader will begin a journey that throws light on matters of the disposition of the heart, motive, temperament and other factors that deeply influence our thinking, and thereby shapes our tradition. It is a call to find what we believe of scripture not only to line up with the Word, but also with the Spirit it was written in. At first glance this would appear an obvious calling, but many do not make it. This book will resonate with the Christian and any who are willing to introspect on the human condition, and why it is we think, believe, and behave the way we do.
"It is not that our Bible isn't clear enough, but that we are struggling to accept God's Word in an area of our life we are not ready or willing to relinquish, including things contrary to our tradition and learned belief. Understanding ourselves better through honest introspection, and the reasons for why we think the way we do, will enable us not only to be more empathetic toward others, but also enrich our understanding of our Lord's desire that as far as it depends on us, to be at peace with one another (Rom 12:18). The application of this aids us in fulfilling our portion in the request for forgiveness that we in turn seek from our Lord. Thus, my hope is to move the reader to a deeper understanding of our Lord's will for us and our interaction with others, and ultimately a closer and more fulfilled relationship with Him."
