El Modelo de Transformacion Social Del Antiguo Testamento
"Old Testament Rediscovering God's Principles for Discipling Nations"
Throughout history, people of faith have thought and acted in ways that influenced communities and nations. These people have affected the development of public education, workers' rights, economic development, the concept of the free press, help for the oppressed and disenfranchised, and more. But is this still true today?
This book is dedicated to the study of what the Bible has to say about all of including government, family, the arts, education, science, communication, economics, and the role of the church. It will help readers rediscover a faith that influences both thinking and action in every arena of living.
Landa Cope shows that just as the keys to evangelism are in the story and life of Jesus and Paul, the keys to transforming communities are in the story and life of Moses. Israel and its journey from slavery to greatness is our Old Testament template of how to disciple a nation. Landa has put the challenge of the principles of the "Old Testament Template" to leaders in politics, business, and the church on every continent. Readers will discover how vital, relevant, and effective biblical Christianity addresses the issues of the tenty-first century in a redemptive way and can bring a righteous influence back into the public arena.

De lo mejor, mejor que he leído del tema. Es una teología bíblica e histórica del gran mandamiento y el mandato cultural correlacionados en uno: discipular a las naciones. La tesis es muy ambiciosa al proponer a los creyentes que, nuestro campo de acción no sólo es la iglesia (como organización eclesiástica) ni en el plano individual o familiar, sino en todas las esferas del mundo.
En realidad el libro una vez que colocó el punto de partida y el diagnóstico actual (una mente divida -dualismo- y un evangelio dividido -que no alcanza para todo), nos intruduce a 8 esferas en las que como iglesia deberíamos participar muy activamente:
1. El gobierno.
2. La familia.
3. Las artes.
4. La educación.
5. La ciencia.
6. La comunicación.
7. La economía.
8. La iglesia.
Será muy útil particularmente para aquellos que no son llamados a servir "dentro" de las cuatro paredes de las congregaciones. Pero esencial para cualquier pastor o maestro que, modelará a las personas a una cosmovisión más firma, profunda y amplificada. Muy recomendado.
