Do Good to All People as You Have the Opportunity: A Biblical Theology of the Good Deeds Mission of the New Covenant Community
This book argues for a positive, biblically rigorous vision of the local church's (and the individual Christian's) weighty responsibility to do good to all people as they have the opportunity, as well as the continuing priority of the local church's mission of verbal proclamation to those beyond the New Covenant community.
Endorsements"This is an engaging book about the work of missions and raises the important questions about good deeds and lasting fruit."
-Owen Anderson, Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Arizona State University
"As evangelicals we need to think clearly about cultural and political realities and how they relate to the gospel, to the kingdom, and to evangelism. John Wind has thought carefully and deeply about these matters, and in this clearly written work he points a way forward that should be considered by all."
-Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Associate Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Verbal proclamation and social action: which is more important in the church's mission? In his book Do Good to All People as You Have the Opportunity, John Wind helpfully surveys a very important debate in the church and creatively shows how they fit together. He also gives us a timely admonition to use our words carefully lest we dilute the gospel."
-Donald W. Sweeting, President, Colorado Christian University
"John Wind has taken up a controversial subject with a host of practical implications for the life of the church. . . . This work will be a blessing to the church as it pursues the mission Christ has given it."
-David Vandrunen, Robert B. Strimple Professor of Systematic Theology and Christian Ethics, Westminster Seminary California
