Found something interesting in the Hollenweger archives at Vrije Universteit Amsterdam last week. Two assignments by a Bible translator who had worked in Papua New Guinea. He took two famous courses at Fuller in 1985: MC 510 with C. Peter Wagner and John Wimber, MC 511 with Eddie Gibbs and Wimber.

So happy that "On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives" is now out in print! With 19 contributors, the book addresses definitions of CN; historical development; intersections with racism, sexism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia; and practical ways to address the problem.
