Uncommon Ground

Living Faithfully in a World of Difference

De: Timothy Keller, John Inazu

Narrado por: Robert Kiefer, Nan Gurley

Best-selling author Timothy Keller and legal scholar John Inazu bring together a thrilling range of artists, thinkers, and leaders to provide a guide to faithful living in a pluralistic, fractured world.

How can Christians today interact with those around them in a way that shows respect to those whose beliefs are radically different but that also remains faithful to the gospel? Timothy Keller and John Inazu bring together illuminating stories - their own and from others - to answer this vital question. Uncommon Ground gathers an array of perspectives from people thinking deeply and working daily to live with humility, patience, and tolerance in our time. Contributors include:

• Lecrae
• Tish Harrison Warren
• Kristen Deede Johnson
• Claude Richard Alexander
• Shirley Hoogstra
• Sara Groves
• Rudy Carrasco
• Trillia Newbell
• Tom Lin
• Warren Kinghorn

Providing varied and enlightening approaches to reaching faithfully across deep and often painful differences, Uncommon Ground shows us how to live with confidence, joy, and hope in a complex and fragmented age.

"Loving engagement with folks with whom we disagree does not come easily for many of us with strong Christian convictions. Tim Keller and John Inazu are not only models for how to do this well, but in this fine book they have gathered wise conversation partners to offer much needed counsel on how to cultivate the spiritual virtues of humility, patience, and tolerance that are necessary for loving our neighbors in our increasingly pluralistic culture." (Richard Mouw, Professor of Faith and Public Life, Fuller Theological Seminary)

"For anyone struggling to engage well with others in an era of toxic conflict, this book provides a framework, steeped in humility, that is not only insightful but is readily actionable. I'm grateful for the vulnerability and wisdom offered by each of the twelve leaders who contributed to this book. The task of learning to love well - neighbors and enemies alike - is long and urgent, and it can be costly. And yet, as this book shows us, because it is the work of Jesus, we can pursue this love with great hope." (Gary A. Haugen, founder and CEO, International Justice Mission)

Collection of Sound Contributors

Tim Keller's "Uncommon Ground" is an impactful collection with sound theology from a list of select Christ-centered contributors. Definitely work to begin and having to just get through some parts, but altogether worthwhile for a time of pluralism and division.

Excellent!

One of my best reads in 2020-2021. If you want to understand better the issues facing this world today and how a Christian is called to live out the Gospel, this is the book to read!

Thought provoking

It’s easy to demonize people we see as destroying our country. This book helps us develop tools to express love to those who operate out of hate; but deceive themselves into believing they are helping this country when they are tearing it down by putting politics in front of faith.

Timely and compelling

A book that helps to understand the changes being called for today and how to affect change with love and strength. The short stories are relevant even more this moment than when they were written.

Must Read.

Tremendous book, with compelling stories of lived experience and aspirational calling for the Christian life.

A Book for out times.

A must read if you’re trying to navigate these contentious times. Thought provoking and inspiring.

I enjoyed it

The stories from the contributors made it more real to understand the role tolerance plays in peaceful co-existence with people who don't share our world views.

Biblical reasons to be discerning of how we interact with other who have different view

I really enjoyed all of the readings, opened my eyes, heart & mind to how others see situations & how I am called to "listen" and not judge"

great book - narration not so geat

I loved the personal experiences interpreted in light of the Christian scriptures. However the male narrator's voice dropped out at times with his voice tone changes. Female narrator's was more Audible, but I just didn't care for it.

Great book! Audio too quiet.

Had to listen at full volume to hear. On multiple speakers. Other than that, great!
