8  |  Kregel Publications The Diversity Culture

Creating Conversations of Faith with Buddhist Baristas, Agnostic Students, Aging Hippies, Political Activists, and Everyone in Between Matthew Raley Creating conversations of faith outside of the evangelical norm

A new culture is emerging—one of spiritual openness, moral flexibility, and social diversity. This diversity culture makes evangelicals uncomfortable, not because they feel threatened, but because they feel excluded.

Drawing on analysis of contemporary media, ancient sources, and Scripture, The Diversity Culture examines cultural barriers and how they can be broken, helping Christians understand this cosmopolitan group on their own terms. This incisive and muchneeded book gives believers the understanding and tools they need to cross socioeconomic, ethical, and ideological barriers and heal relationships in the name of Christ. Rights: WW

Los Bienaventurados The Blessed Antonio Cruz

Dr. Antonio Cruz explains the meaning of the Beatitudes for today’s believer

Jesus’ most extensive and important speech is undoubtedly his famous Sermon on the Mount recounted by Matthew in chapters four through six of his gospel.

He is the author of nine books in Spanish, including Darwin no mató a Dios [Darwin Did Not Kill God], a winner of the Gold Medallion award for Spanish in 2005.
