即使時光演進，到了二十一世紀的今天，女性在教會服事的角色依然備受爭議。一方的主張是男性和女性之間沒有差別。另一邊則是嚴格限制女性在教會服事的範疇。　　施如柏採取折中的角度，認為現代的看法否定了男性和女性的區別，因此提出兩性互補一說：雖然男性和女性是平等的，然而上帝賦予兩性不同的角色，男性和女性唯有透過彼此依賴互補，才能將男女兩性的角色發揮得淋漓盡致。　　本書充分探討女性在教會事奉的內容與其重要性，並從使徒保羅對女性的兩項禁令：　　「我不許女人講道，也不許她轄管男人。」（提前二12）　　「婦女應該閉口不言；因為，不准她們說話，總要順服，正如律法所說的。」（林前十四34）　　詳實透徹剖析其中真義，期使男女兩性都能各按其職，成為神合用的器皿。

Understanding spiritual transformationIt is the heart that is the control center of life and through which God works to change us. But how does this growth take place? In Minding the Heart, Robert L. Saucy offers insightful instruction on what spiritual transformation is and how to achieve it. He shows how renewing one's mind through meditation, action, and community can begin the process of change, but ultimately the final change—the change that brings abundant life—can only come t...

In a society saturated by the doctrine of tolerance and an air of post-modernism, one might wonder about the role and significance of the once almighty Scripture. Despite what some would consider a time of revival in the church, confidence in the Scripture is consistently being undermined by cynical attitudes and critical thinking. Saucy's commentary is relevant for the times and speaks to the questioning heart and mind. He confirms not only our need for Scripture, but also its authority, ...

Debate abounds on the future of Israel and Israel's relation to the church, not only between dispensationalists and non-dispensationalists, but among dispensationalists themselves.

In recent years, however, views have been modified and developed so that the dialogue is increasingly by cooperation and a mutual exploration of diverse ideas. The Case for Progress...

The role of women in the church is a debate that has raged within the church for much of the twentieth century. On one side are those who say there is no difference between men and women. On the other side are those who severely limit women who want to offer ministry to the church. Judith TenElshof and Robert Saucy take the middle approach. Believing that the modern views have denied the distinctions between men and women, the authors adopt a view called complementarianism. TenElshof and S...

Transformation Through the Different Other is the story of Faustin Ntamushobora's transformation through encounters with people of different races, tribes, worldviews, and experiences, and how God has used these experiences to transform his life into the image of Christ. The root cause of racial and tribal problems is not really the difference in color, but the human heart. However, differences in race, tribe, and worldview could widen the gap in people's hearts and cause more separation a...
