A Partnership to Consider
/
Here’s some good news. According to Operation World, evangelical faith exploded in Africa during the 20th century. There are now approximately 182 million believers in Africa, a population nearly double the size of the evangelical community in the United States.

Tracking Down Those “Hard to Find” Sources

We live in an amazing day. Within seconds one can use the internet to locate an electronic copy of an article published in the 1800s or download a... Read More

Interview with a Revitalizer
/
What question do seminary students get asked more than any other? I’ll bet you know even if you’ve never been to seminary or met a real-life seminarian. No, it’s not what brand of lapsarian they are, believe it or not, nor even whether they prefer the Erasmian or modern pronunciation of their Greek vocabulary. It’s... Read More
