Description: Do you have an opinion?

There is an increasing tendency in Evangelical circles to regard disagreement in our allegedly post-modern world as inherently oppressive. Too many people sit on the fence and ignore, or are unaware of, the fact that Christianity is anhistorical religion. As Laurence Peter once said "History repeats itself because nobody listens."

The point of having a debate is not to have a debate and then agree to differ (sitting around in a mutually affirming love-fest)- the point of debate, as the Apostle Paul clearly demonstrates time and again in the book of Acts, is to establish which position is best.

Carl Trueman's intends to provoke you with this collection of essays into thinking for yourself and to have an opinion on THINGS THAT MATTER!

" Dr. Trueman has the wit of a modern day evangelical Chesterton, the prophetic insight of a Francis Schaeffer and the accessibility of a John Stott. This is a book to read and re-read, this is not the cheap point scoring of tabloid theology."
--Melvin Tinker, Author and Vicar of St John, Newland, Hull.

"I cannot think of a young evangelical writer and theologian whose works I more eagerly read than Carl Trueman."
--Mark Dever: Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington D.C.

"Here we have short, sharp and exciting thoughts on everything from Psalm singing to the homosexual debate within the Anglican Church. His brilliant caricatures and hilarious asides do not detract from his careful thought but rather help to demonstrate a wisdom and clarity much needed today."
--Professor A.T.B. McGowan, Highland Theological College

"This collection of essays and observations shows the author as a master wordsmith. It will challenge, stimulate, inform and teach. It confirms Dr Trueman's place as one of contemporary evangelicalism's most dynamic young theologians."
--Rev Dr Iain D. Campbell, Back Free Church, Isle of Lewis
