A Christian Viewpoint on Terrorism and the 9-ll Tragedy
Just as believers in Nigeria responding to the deadly interreligious riots going
on there, as do believers on the West Bank and in Afghanistan and in every corner
of the globe, American Christians need to think biblically and act compassionately
in order to show God's love and truth to a bruised and confused public.

Questions on Everyone's Mind
Rev. Timothy Keller
The pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian in Manhattan--mere blocks from Ground Zero--deals
with some tough questions: How can you trust God after this kind of an event?
Is this a judgment from God on our country? How do both nation and individual
cope with grief? Should America retaliate? How does vengeance not manifest itself
in the Christian community?
Comfort Within the Boundaries
Dr. Robert A. Pyne
Is recent terrorism in America God's judgment? Is this the end? What is a Christian
citizen to do, think? How does it play out with our view of God? Seminary professor
Dr. Robert A. Pyne briefly outlines what we can gather (and what we cannot say)
about tragedy from a biblical perspective.
The Lamb Lays Down for Broadway
Roberto Rivera
If we don't take some lessons away from yesterday's events, if we don't learn
from our mistakes and gain some perspective, then we can add pointlessness to
the injuries inflicted by the terrorists yesterday.
[Spanish Version]
Good Wars
Darrell Cole
"Fighting, killing, making war. Human beings have been doing it almost from
the very beginning and show no signs of an inclination to cease and desist.
Many claim that the Christian tradition is ambivalent when it comes to prosecuting
wars, even in a just cause‹and this, so it is alleged, because the founder of
Christianity rejected all use of force."
The Christian's Response
to Today's Problems
Dr. John Stoll
"A Christian may ask, what is God's purpose in today's world, given the monumental
problems we face, and why doesn't God do something about it? Why is God seemingly
silent in the kingdom of mankind, and when will He bring it all into judgment?
Fortunately the Bible has very specific answers to these questions. It remains
for us to search them out."
