Book excerpt: Here is a quick overview of this book.First of all, I share an important encounter I had with two Jehovah's Witnesses that came to our church door. In many ways, what happened that day provides the true purpose for this book - exactly how do you effectively witness to a Jehovah's Witness?In the second chapter, I show what Jehovah's Witnesses believe about themselves. Most people are shocked to know how they really think about themselves. And no one can effectively minister to a Jehovah's Witness until he understands how he is thinking about his life.The third chapter is just as shocking, and helps answer why Jehovah's Witnesses target weak Christian believers. In this chapter, we learn what they believe about Christians and churches. It is a tragic historical truth, but many Jehovah's Witnesses today were former professing Christians and members of Christian churches. This may be a startling truth to many, but nearly all of the main leaders of the Watchtower Society since its founding in 1879 have been people who were raised in strong, Bible-believing, churches.In the next chapter, we give a brief but detailed overview of the first four presidents of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. We present historical backgrounds on Charles Taze Russell, Judge Joseph Rutherford, Nathan Knorr, and the unofficial "theologian" of the Watchtower, Frederick Franz. As of January 1st of 1976, the executive leadership is under the domain of the Governing Body. This is the group leading the Watchtower Society today.In the fifth chapter, we have the all-important study of the beliefs of the Jehovah's Witnesses. This is a fascinating overview on many of the bizarre doctrinal positions and prophecies that have been formulated over the years. We will look at everything from blood transfusions to saluting the flag, from 1925 to 1975, from memorial services to the Beth Sarim mansion, from the Revised New World Translation to Rutherford's book, Millions Now Living Will Never Die!Finally, based on what we've learned about their history and beliefs, we'll look at some very practical and definite ways that a Christian believer can use to engage a Jehovah's Witness about his theology. Special emphasis will be given to prophetic date-setting and doctrinal flip-flops that have tormented Jehovah's Witnesses for years.

This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many former Jehovah's Witnesses left the organization simply because they followed what was clearly stated in their own book The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life (1968, 1981): "We need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization with which we may be associated. Are its teachings in full harmony with God's Word, or are they based on the traditions of men? If we are lovers of the truth, there is nothing to fear from such an examination" (p. 13).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the historic tensions between Jehovah’s Witnesses and government authorities, civic organisations, established churches and the broader public. Witnesses originated in the 1870s as small, loose-knit groups calling themselves Bible Students. Today, there are some eight million Witnesses worldwide, all actively engaged in evangelism under the direction of the Watch Tower Society. The author analyses issues that have brought them global visibility and even notoriety, including political neutrality, public ministry, blood transfusion, and anti-ecumenism. It also explores anti-Witness discourse, from media portrayals of the community as marginal and exotic to the anti-cult movement. Focusing on varied historical, ideological and national contexts, the book argues that Witnesses have had a defining influence on conceptions of religious tolerance in the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its origins in nineteenth century Adventism until the present day, the Watch Tower Society has become one of the best known but least understood new religious movements. Resisting the tendency to define the movement in terms of the negative, this volume offers an empathetic account of the Jehovah's Witnesses, without defending or seeking to refute their beliefs. George Chryssides critically examines the historical and theological bases of the organization's teachings and practices, and discusses the changes and continuities which have defined it. The book provides a valuable resource for scholars of new religious movements and contemporary religion.

The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on key concepts, themes, and people relating to Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Book excerpt: From the Founding Fathers through the present, Christianity has exercised powerful influence in the United States—from its role in shaping politics and social institutions to its hand in inspiring art and culture. The Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States outlines the myriad roles Christianity has played and continues to play. This masterful five-volume reference work includes biographies of major figures in the Christian church in the United States, influential religious documents and Supreme Court decisions, and information on theology and theologians, denominations, faith-based organizations, immigration, art—from decorative arts and film to music and literature—evangelism and crusades, the significant role of women, racial issues, civil religion, and more. The first volume opens with introductory essays that provide snapshots of Christianity in the U.S. from pre-colonial times to the present, as well as a statistical profile and a timeline of key dates and events. Entries are organized from A to Z. The final volume closes with essays exploring impressions of Christianity in the United States from other faiths and other parts of the world, as well as a select yet comprehensive bibliography. Appendices help readers locate entries by thematic section and author, and a comprehensive index further aids navigation.
