A New Evangelical Manifesto:
A Kingdom Vision for the Common Good
Edited by David P. Gushee (Chalice)
A 2013 Outreach Resource of the Year

“Imagine sitting around a large, round table—each seat filled with thought-leaders, pastors, theologians and practitioners you respect.

And while you may not agree with every idea offered, you will be more aware and equipped to engage the topics and offer a better way to your friends, neighbors and colleagues.” —Gabe Lyons, from the March/April 2013 issue of Outreach magazine
