What to expect

In today’s polarized context, Christians often have committed, biblical rationales for very different positions. How can Christians navigate disagreements with both truth and love? Tim Muehlhoff and Rick Langer provide lessons from conflict theory and church history on how to negotiate differing biblical convictions in order to move toward Christian unity.We generally assume that those sitting around us in church share our beliefs. But when our personal convictions are contested by fellow Christians, everything changes. We feel attacked from behind. When other Christians doubt or deny our convictions, we don’t experience it as a mere difference of opinion, but as a violation of an unspoken agreement. Tim Muehlhoff and Rick Langer offer a guide to help Christians navigate disagreements with one another. In today’s polarized context, Christians often have committed, biblical rationales for very different positions. How do we discern between core biblical convictions and secondary issues? How do we cultivate better understanding and compassion for those we disagree with? Muehlhoff and Langer provide lessons from conflict theory and church history on how to avoid the dangers of groupthink and how to negotiate differing biblical convictions to avoid church splits and repair interpersonal ruptures. Christian unity is possible. Discover how we can navigate differences by speaking in both truth and love.

Critics Review

“This book could help us turn this world right-side up with meaningful conversations filled with kindness, grace, truth, and welcome. If you’re tired of debating and the ensuing division, here’s an alternative to change the conversation!”

Sharon A. Hersh, licensed professional counselor and author of Belonging

“We need to reexamine what we hold dear and how we can communicate our beliefs in a way that’s winsome and compelling. For this I’m grateful to God for Tim Muehlhoff and Richard Langer and their timely resource.”

Bryan Loritts, teaching pastor at The Summit Church

“A must-read for the Jesus follower who cares about truth and biblical community and how they must intersect, particularly in our combative, vitriolic times.”

Jenni Key, chair of the Evangelical Free Church of America board of directors

“It’s hard to imagine a more timely and relevant book for the church today…These thoughtful scholars and practitioners prod us patiently, persistently, and gently to understand how we can experience Christian unity and what’s at stake.”

Robert H. Woods Jr., executive director of the Christianity and Communication Studies Network
