Johannes Reimer – författare

Evangelical Christians in many countries shy away from politics. And yet, especially with the rise of the Pentecostal and charismatic movements, the interest and involvement in political activity is becoming a daily reality in evangelical circles. At the same time, evangelical politicians are not exempt from scandals of corruption and complaints of ineffectiveness. Are Christians unable to do better politics than others? Are they less prepared? Is even the whole political involvement of Christians under question?In this book, Dr Johannes Reimer explores the answers to these questions by articulating a theology of the church’s political mission. The church is not a political party, but as God’s ecclesia, it has a prophetic voice and is called out of the world to take responsibility for the world.

Innumerable books have been written about successful outreach and evangelism, yet almost none address the centrality of the family as God's intended vehicle for experiencing life, community, and growth. In this timely and powerful book, Johannes Reimer urges us to rediscover the family as a primary agent for mission in the world. Offering both a theological and practical foundation for understanding the role and significance of families in the vocation of the church, this book also provides creative ideas for implementing a family-centered praxis that offers preparation and support to families living out their calling to make Christ known. To ignore the family, Reimer warns, is to ignore the church s greatest resource for transmitting truth, communicating love, and embodying the gospel. If we are to be effective in making disciples of all nations, we must start in our own homes.

Das Evangelium bedeutet mehr als nur einzelne Seelen zu erretten. Christen sind berufen, ihr Umfeld positiv zu beeinflussen - aber nicht als Einzelkämpfer, sondern gemeinsam als Kirche. Für diese herausfordernde Sicht liefert das Buch von Prof. Dr. Johannes Reimer eine fundierte biblische Begründung und zeigt anwendbare Praxisschritte. Ein unverzichtbarer Diskussionsbeitrag im Gespräch zwischen den theologischen Strömungen der heutigen Christenheit.

Ist die christliche Gemeinde in unserer Gesellschaft ein Fremdkörper? Für Johannes Reimer ist offensichtlich: Gottes außergewöhnliche Botschaft kommt ungewöhnlich schlecht an. Wir verlieren den Kontakt zu den Menschen um uns herum. Deshalb muss sich unbedingt etwas ändern in der Gemeinde.Reimer zeigt, dass evangelistische Verkündigung aus Wort und Tat, aus Raum und Zeit besteht. Er hilft, die eigene Gemeindekultur besser zu verstehen, und verrät, wie eine Kultur des Willkommens und der Gastfreundschaft entwickelt werden kann. Und er fordert heraus, sich auf die Kultur, in der wir leben, einzulassen. Ein Buch für alle, die erleben möchten, wie Gott heute Menschen verändert.
