Book Review
(Update June 27: Hear J. P. Moreland discuss this book on Converse With Scholars.)
I had to read twice through J. P. Moreland’s newest book, Kingdom Triangle, before I could even begin writing this review. This is not the way it typically goes for me, but this time it was a challenge to know where to begin. I’ve decided to jump straight to the easy part, which is my overall evaluation:
Get yourself a copy and read it, then read it again. Get your friends to read it. The legs of Moreland’s “Kingdom Triangle” may–or may not–be the three most important things Western Christians must do to make a difference in our world. Two of them, however, are very likely the things we have been most severely lacking.
