In Inspired Imperfection, Gregory A. Boyd adds another counterintuitive and provocative thesis to his corpus. While conservative scholars and pastors have struggled for years to show that the Bible is without errors, Boyd considers this a fool's errand. Instead, he says, we should embrace the mistakes and contradictions in Scripture, for they show that God chose to use fallible humans to communicate timeless truths.

The problem of identity is universal. It is the foundation of every human crisis. Some people have found it easy to resolve, while others are unable to figure it out. Many define who they are by what they do. Equating what you do to be the same as who you are makes you a human doing and not a human being. If what you do is who you are, you are forced to see yourself as a failure anytime you fail at what you do.

No one is exempt from problems, not even God. God can blink an eye and make them all go away, but he doesn't. The first step to a solution is recognizing the problem. A lot of us live in denial our entire lives. We justify ourselves by saying things like, "oh, that's just the way I am" or "that's the way my father or mother was". Many of us don't recognize we have a problem until we're standing before a judge, or in a hospital, in jail, or just plain beat down.

Ce livre a été écrit à un moment de crise pour moi et pour ceux que le Seigneur a suscités pour être co-ouvriers avec moi dans le ministère. Nous avons fait face et nous sommes en train de faire face à des circonstances dans lesquelles notre seul soutien est le Seigneur. Jusque-là Il a été fidèle. Il a été plus que suffisant et Il est plus que suffisant pour notre besoin. Nous aussi nous trouvons que nous sommes plus que vainqueurs par Celui qui nous a aimés.

Jesus calls us to make disciples of all the nations. Many Christians believe this means enlisting soldiers in a culture war. But putting faith in the service of politics risks remaking God in our own image. How can the church help bring God's kingdom to earth without relying on the political structures of this world? Critiquing our idolization of the values of classical Western liberalism, Steven Félix-Jäger seeks a renewal of the church's public witness.

Why are Muslim men portrayed as inherently violent? Does the veil violate women's rights? Is Islam stopping Muslims from integrating?

Exploding stereotypes from both inside and outside the faith, The Muslim Problem shows that while we may think we know all about Islam we are often wrong about even the most basic facts.
