Kingdom Triangle: Recover the Christian Mind, Renovate the Soul, Restore the Spirit's Power
Western society is in crisis, the result of our culture's embrace of naturalism and postmodernism. At the same time, the biblical worldview has been pushed to the margins. Christians have been strongly influenced by these trends, with the result that the personal lives of Christians often reflect the surrounding culture more than the way of Christ, and the church's transfo...more

Moreland begins his book by assessing the crisis of our age, analyzing the two primary competing worldviews—naturalism and postmodernism before suggesting a third alternative, the theistic worldview which he unpacks as the “Kingdom Triangle” in the second part of the book.
I appreciated Moreland’s previous work, Love Your God with All Your Mind, but I found the discussion of crisis of our age in the Kingdom Triangle lacking full dimension. I essentially agree ...more

Moreland's book was excellent. It is a must-read for students who are preparing for college, as it helps them understand the worldviews they will encounter in the university while simultaneously calling them to live a bold life.
It is also helpful for those who are past the college years but who want to live a life that counts for something. Moreland engages both the philosophical and the practical--balancing both very well.

Didn't enjoy this one too much. Sort of a hodge-podge of sensational inciting comments and deeper philosophical/formational subjects. I couldn't figure out who his audience was: to shallow to be deep and to complex to be introductory. I'm not sure who'd I'd ever recommend this to.

“Kingdom Triangle,” J. P. Moreland’s latest book, has received high praise. It was awarded the 2008 Christianity Today Book Award in the category of Spirituality. It has been reviewed favorably elsewhere, and the jacket cover includes endorsements by Chuck Colson, Lee Strobel, and Ravi Zacharias. Kingdom Triangle represents something of a “magnum opus” for this distinguished Christian philosopher and defender of the faith. In responding to the news that his book received the award from Christian...more
J. P. Moreland is one of my favorite authors, but this book only gets three stars for a couple of reasons. The material in the first several chapters was largely a restatement of things covered in his other books already listed on my Goodreads account. The material in the last chapter was interesting and I must say it caused me a certain amount of cognitive dissonance, but I'm still not sold on the Vineyard movement. I need to check it out further, but my initial reaction is somewhat skeptical...more

I wanted to read this book for several months and a friend let me borrow his copy. Unfortunately, I was let down. I have great respect for J. P. Moreland and was surprised by some of his disclosure. I think the chapter, Renovation of the Soul, was difficult for me to embrace. I didn't want to finish the book, but pushed through to the end.
I learned about the different world-views we have in this culture and how people hunger for a greater purpose and are settling for less. We Christians need to be more effective by recovering the mind, renovating the soul and restore the Spirit's power.
I want to live out my life every day growing in the areas discussed in this book. Ditch Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, T.D. Jakes or whoever the pop Christian author is and steep yourself in some real life transforming teaching; here is one to not pass up.

My reading in this book has been so sporadic and inconsistent that it would be better for me to restart it - which I may or may not have time to do this summer. So, for now, I'm moving it to my "To Read" shelf.
A very comprehensive explanation of current culture, how it affects our thinking as Christians, followed by the truth of Christianity and ways to grow in the Spirits power.
