Jesus and Elvis offers a host of creative resources for use in schools and churches. Jesus proclaims the book''s unabashed gospel-centered content, Elvis its unapologetic creative style. The book as a whole should appeal to both the young and the old, wide-eyed seekers and battle-scarred churchgoers. This new edition includes Skin Deep, a dynamic play that dramatizes Martin Luther King''s response to the enduring sin of racism in our world.
Important goals of mankind, such as eliminating injustice and attaining a higher quality of life, are achievable. To achieve them, however, requires a will and a way. God provides the will.The focus of A Pen Named Man: Our Destiny is to illustrate the way. The route to social fulfillment is through the establishment of universal institutions designed to enable man to serve as God''s representative on Earth and ""automatically"" satisfy his purpose in life.Family is the most important institution of mankind. It forms the nucleus of social living and fosters a deep sense of love and commitment among biologically related people who live together in an emotionally secure environment. Religion ties human behavior to morality and serves as the pathway between an individual and his God. Government establishes a standardized code of equality and fairness. Where the goal of the institution of religion is a moral world, the role of government is a just world.Employment is the institution that opens the door to attaining one''s purpose in life. A restructured universal institution of employment provides every individual with the opportunity to contribute his time and resources toward the betterment of mankind. By working in an occupation that makes a product or provides a service useful to society, a person is able to earn the necessities of life for himself, attain psychological fulfillment, and provide support to those who are physically or mentally unable to take care of themselves.
What does Christianity have to say about the salvation of the African tribesman who died before the missionaries arrived, and the ""great sorrow"" of the Messianic Jew who grieves for family and friends who did not or will not acknowledge his Jesus as their Messiah? C. S. Lewis said these outsiders represent the ""scandal of exclusivity."" Jim Geiger is a Christian insider and fully committed to the exclusivity of Christ''s atonement. However, he is suggesting an expanded Christology where:- The constant speed of light in E = mc2 corroborates the constant Christ of Heb 13:8.- Special and general relativity model special and general revelation.- The Christ of general revelation represents the hope of salvation for some of Christianity''s outsiders.
