★全新書系Future★☄榮獲2019《今日基督教》雜誌年度好書獎上帝也頑皮？基督徒也可以愛玩嗎？讓澳洲神學家艾格恩，從「遊戲」角度全面更新你的神論！如果說，愛玩遊戲是基督徒必須操練的品格，想必許多人會大跌眼鏡，尤其是教會領袖們。傳統上，教會的門徒訓練總是著重在服事、奉獻、委身等面向，彷彿只有這些嚴肅的工作才配得上我們神的偉大。然而，光是敬拜讚美、禱告聚會、營會短宣等就已經讓基督徒們不堪重負。難道，現在連休息玩樂的時間都要被信仰責任攻佔，讓人無處可逃嗎？其實，遊戲沒有我們想像得那麼簡單，彷彿只是休閒娛樂的一種方式；玩耍也沒有我們以為的那樣與信仰毫不相干。先知撒迦利亞就提到新天新地必充滿笑聲，保羅也提醒我們應該要操練聖靈喜樂的果子；耶穌更是親自教導我們，只有學習孩子們的樣式，才得以進入他的國度……最重要的是，遊戲般的互動方式，才是神渴望與我們建立的關係模式。遊戲的輕盈態度與生活方式，才能恰如其分地回應生命的嚴肅與重量。本書作者艾格恩以遊戲的角度，帶我們重新審視神在我們生命中的種種作為：從信心的角度理解基督徒的呼召，原是在今時這地就活出永恆生命的喜樂；從靈性的角度看到友誼與愛情的本質，在於與一個全然的他者一同遊戲；從恩典的角度發現工作與休息中的趣味，原來從起初直到如今都是神的祝福；也討論到在救贖、痛苦與競爭景況中遊戲的可能性……跟著本書作者，與歷代傑出神學家進行幽默詼諧的趣味對話，在奧古斯丁、阿奎那、馬丁路德、潘霍華、莫特曼的陪伴下，看見遊戲之心原來恰恰位於基督信仰的核心，重新認識那位又真又活、獨行「奇」事的神！有人說，玩耍不僅在童年是舉足輕重的大事，更是我們在天堂的第一要務！不僅如此，艾格恩更是有憑有據地告訴我們，工作、靈性、神學、敬拜……所有事物，都應該充滿遊戲。的確，遊戲根源於神的本質，根植於三一真神「互滲相寓」的活潑關係。但本書可不僅僅關於遊戲的深奧神學反思，而是一個愉快的邀請，邀請我們與這位遊戲的神一同玩耍！――史蒂芬‧西曼茲（Stephen Seamands）亞斯伯理神學院教授（Professor, Asbury Theological Seminary）在這本妙趣橫生的好書中，作者成功點亮我們的心靈、振奮我們的精神、深刻鼓動並啟發了基督徒的心智思考。他認為，所有朝真理邁進的神學，都可以很好地以「遊戲」的角度概括。雖然本書關注的主題並不是神學研究中常見的焦點

Who are the people of God? Luke's purposes in the Acts of the Apostles are to identify the church, to establish the legitimacy of its gospel and to demonstrate that God was an active force in history. He wanted to show that the communities of Jewish and Gentile Christians are the true heirs of God's promises to Israel. He gives the history of the early church from the last decades of the first century as the communities become separated from their Jewish origins, and Paul plays the lead role. Acts offers an apologetic for the mixed mission of the church: to Jews and Gentiles. Luke was an eyewitness to some of what he reports, but his authorship and views have been questioned. This is a theological interpretation of the history of the church within history: Luke is an artist, a narrator rather than a systematic theologian, but writes about the roles of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, and of the church.
