Excerpt from Old Testament Criticism and the Christian Church To any one who cares at all for the church of Christ the present theological situation must be one of unique interest; to many, indeed, it is one of grave apprehension. It is undeniable that there is a great critical movement within the church, almost within the church, almost within her every branch. What is to be the church's attitude towards that movement? Shall she welcome it, or fear it, or anathematize it? Ignore it she clearly cannot; for the problems are thrust upon her by her own sons, on the right hand and on the left. The situation has its own element of pathos. The energies which might be demoted to positive if not aggressive, religions enterprise, are largely consumed in the discussion of question, which, while they of are of infinity more than academic interest, yet do not constitute the peculiar or essential work which it is the business of the church to do. But the questions cannot be suppressed. They suggest themselves necessarily to minds which participate, even in a small measure, in the intellectual culture of the age.

A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Excerpt from Old Testament Criticism and the Christian Church Bible first began to make its appeal to me; and I write with the tenderest regard for all who feel as I then felt. The times of transition are hard. It would be a grief to me if any word of mine should wound the sensitiveness Of any who love the Lord or the sacred Scriptures. It has been my earnest desire to help all who have been troubled. Of ridicule, abuse, and provocation there has already been more than enough. Not only by familiarizing myself with the literature which represents the opposition to the critical move ment, but also by numerous discussions and conversa tions with laymen, students, and ministers, on both Sides of the Atlantic, I have sought to understand sympathetically the spirit and methods Of the opposi tion, to discover the secret Of its almost vehement earnestness, and the interests which it believes to be imperilled by the advance Of criticism. I have the profoundest sympathy for those who share the views from which this volume is, in part, an implicit dissent; for I know the pang of parting with them. But in parting with the things that can be shaken, one may be confirmed all the more in the things that abide.
