Faith in the Mosaic: Finding a Biblical Focus in a Pluralistic World

“Christians must neither ignore the variety of religions around them nor capitulate to the lie that there are many paths to God. McDowell skillfully weaves together the biblical truth of Christ’s uniqueness with an informed consideration of our neighbors’ belief systems. The result is a great encouragement to evangelism.”

—Joel R. Beeke

“What Bruce McDowell provides for us in this remarkable book are the many reasons why we may have utter confidence in the traditional biblical stance. Instead of downplaying the difficult teaching on the exclusivity of the gospel, he turns it into one of our greatest strengths. Read it and be heartened.”

“Navigating our way as Christians through the raging waters of
dogmatic relativism requires clear captains. Bruce McDowell is just such a guide, and I know that you’ll find Faith in the Mosaic a valuable compass.”

“McDowell’s Faith in the Mosaic brings clarity and insight regarding Christianity’s claims to a generation living in a diverse, postmodern, pluralistic world. This is a great book not only to solidify one’s own faith but also to help us engage in gospel conversations with those from different backgrounds.”

—Lloyd Kim

Coordinator, Mission to the World, PCA

“In Faith in the Mosaic, McDowell gives readers a solid theological framework from which they can have complete confidence in Christ, the gospel and Scripture. He also gives excellent guidance on how to graciously live out our Christ-centered lives in the midst of a secular, religiously pluralistic and immensely diverse society. Great book!”

—Patrick Krayer
Executive Director, Interserve USA

“Religious pluralism is hardly new. Since the time of the Old Testament—and also the New Testament—the people of God have always had plenty of spiritual options. Yet somehow they found the faith to stay faithful to the one true and living God. Out of a lifetime of outreach to people from other lands, who worship other gods, Bruce McDowell here applies biblical lessons of truth and grace to the contemporary challenge of religious pluralism.”

—Philip G. Ryken

President, Wheaton College

“This book is not the only attempt to help Christians relate to the world we currently live in. But what Bruce brings to the discussion is a lifetime of challenging the church to actually become engaged in what he calls ‘the mosaic.’ We are not only to stand for ‘the Faith,’ but that faith is to be lived out ‘in the mosaic’ of conflicting ideas and religions. Let Bruce McDowell, pastor and careful teacher of Scripture, be your guide.”
