Interior production by Beth Shagene
To those many individuals
those currently living as well as those
who have lived in previous centuries
who love God ,
who want to know Him better ,
and who, caring more for the Truth than for personal comfort ,
have chosen to live their livesand even give their livesfor His glory.
DOUG
To Laura and Iain ,
Channels to me of Gods love and delight ,
May the living God of historic Christianity ever be your supreme joy.

Third, we thank the many who have lent a hand to us along the way. This includes our institutionsNorthwestern College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentuckyand our colleagues and administrators there.

We especially thank Keith Whitfield and Jonathan Leeman for compiling the indexes.
Finally, we thank our wives and children for their vicarious commitment to this project by their support of us in it.

1. Introduction
For much of the twentieth century, the very notion of God was under fire. Belief in God was regarded by most Western intellectuals as a vestige of our premodern heritage, to be shed with all other superstition. The God of the Bible (and of the premodern era) was considered too powerful, too primitive, and too irritable for modern tastes and was let go.
But times have changed. Surveying developments of the past decade, one might think we are in the midst of a postmodern revival. Time and Newsweek are regularly carrying religious cover stories. For years Touched by an Angel has been touching millions in prime time, while by day Oprah was promoting a similar kind of warm and fuzzy spirituality. For more intellectual viewers, public televisionlong home to series like Carl Sagans Cosmos (a universe devoid of God but populated with aliens) or Leo Buscaglias gospel of self-lovehas been airing Bible studies on the book of Genesis. In the 1990s, best-selling books included Conversations with God, God: A Biography , and The History of God , and a singer famously asked, What if God was one of us? A number of movies of loving angels and a heaven for all good people currently compete in the video stores with less spiritual fare. We might not be as surprised that politicians, regardless of political persuasion or personal morality, make repeated reference to God. But when cultural leaders and pop icons throughout America call us to God after a national tragedy like 9/11, it is clear that God has been raised from the dead to which he was consigned in the 1960s. God is back and is being welcomed with open arms.
