Do you wonder why the Christian faith has become weak and ineffectual in dealing with issues of politics, education, the media, and daily life?
Landa Cope had a crisis of faith. Her realization that a large Christian population didn’t benefit a community – and that Christians didn’t seem to care – provoked deep sadness, burning questions, and a passion to uncover how the gospel can truly bless society. The answers to her questions bring new hope. An Introduction to the Old Testament Template is a practical and thought-provoking guide to applying God’s whole biblical revelation to every area of culture. Readers of all professions and backgrounds will rethink long-held beliefs and learn how to bring a righteous influence back into the culture in which they live.
