Confer, longtime minister for Churches of Christ in the Northeast, presents the case that the book of Revelation was written with a message for people in the first century.

Aimed at those hungering for a deeper life with God, Graves, minister at the Otter Creek church in Nashville, Tenn., explores Jesus’ teaching about discipleship including both the hardships and the triumphs. The first seven chapters focus on “re-imagining Jesus,” while the final five center on stories and guidelines for living the life Jesus offers. The final 30 pages are a chapter-by-chapter study guide.
CHURCH AND STATE
Richard T. Hughes. Christian America and the Kingdom of God. Champaign, Ill.: University of Illinois Press, 2009. 232 pages. $29.95.
Former Pepperdine University professor Hughes takes issue with the position that the United States is a Christian nation.
Finding the American stress on wealth, power, dominance and oppression at odds with biblical teaching, Hughes counters with a biblical vision of the kingdom of God.
The volume traces the rise of fundamentalism and its role in American history. Hughes also shows that the idea of a Christian America is prohibited by the U.S. Constitution.
