Stuart Murray – författare

Whenever renewal occurs, everyone in the church is drawn into involvement in the church’s mission. But within a generation or two, vitality wanes and ministry is left to religious specialists. In The Power of All , renewal leaders Stuart and Sian Murray Williams confront this thought-provoking dilemma by asking: how can a New Testament model help empower and renew the church in today’s post-Christian society?

Follow the authors as they outline how early churches were multivoiced, valued the gifts of all, and expected that the Holy Spirit would speak through all members of the community. Discover the growth and opportunities that occur when wenurture the wider community’s spiritual talents.

"Bold, original, and practical, The Power of All is full of stories of congregations in trouble and congregations coming to life. The authors have written a multivoiced book on multivoiced church life; the medium and the message work together. Wonderful."—Alan and Eleanor Kreider, authors of Worship and Mission AfterChristendom

Los cristianos anabautistas existen desde hace alrededor de 500 años. ¿Cómo se ve un anabautismo sin el ropaje de las tradiciones Amish y Menonitas? Stuart Murray intenta quitar las capas que se han acumulado a lo largo de la historia para llegar a los componentes centrales de la fe Anabautista. Intenta explorar lo que esto significa para su propio contexto y el nuestro. El seguimiento de Jesús nos desafía, nos inspira y nos anima a adorarle y seguirle con todo nuestro corazón. Lea este libro y contágiese de una visión de fe radical para su vida!

Murray escribió un libro con el cual me identifico plenamente como alguien que ha abrazado la fe Anabautista recientemente. El libro resume en forma sucinta las razones poderosas que hacen del Anabautismo histórico una opción atractiva y práctica como fieles seguidores de Jesús en el siglo XXI.—Marvin Lorenzana, Director de la Iniciativa Menonita Hispana (MHI).

Murray elabora que los Anabautistas pueden influir la conversación en estos tiempos de post-Cristiandad debido a que son un grupo innovador, conocen las experiencias desde la marginalidad, tienen testimonios de paz para compartir, reconocen la importancia de pertenecer a una comunidad de fe, y buscan estar enfocados en la centralidad de Jesús.—Gilberto Pérez Jr., Pastor Regional, Conferencia de Iglesias Menonitas, Indiana/Michigan

Creo que el Anabautismo al Desnudo es un magnifico libro donde Stuart Murray ha podido conjugar de manera muy dinámica y atractiva la historia, la crítica objetiva, el testimonio y las respuesta a las inquietudes de muchos respecto al espíritu del Anabautismo.—Sergio E. Flores, Pastor de la iglesia Menonita de Boulogne-Buenos Aires- Argentina,Miembro de la Junta Directiva de la Convención de Iglesias Evangélicas Menonitas de Argentina (IEMA)
