The Gospel in a Changing World edited by Mark Mayberry and Kyle Pope. Recent years have seen cultural and moral changes in this country most of us never would have dreamed could be considered acceptable. This has challenged churches and Christian families to know how to respond and address things that required no time or attention in the past. The studies in this book were prepared in coordination with a week of lectures presented by Truth Publications, Inc. on the campus of Athens Bible School in July of 2025. Special effort has been made to address topics that speak to young people and to older Christians seeking to impact the lives of the young around them. Readers are in for a rich and edifying experience as they dig into the material in this series aimed at preparing readers to meet the challenges of maintaining faith in Christ in the midst of a changing culture.

Topics covered include moral and doctrinal issues with practical applications. The Christians involved are not part of any denomination and accept no creed. We strive to follow the New Testament of Jesus Christ as our only standard of faith and practice (Colossians 3:17; Matthew 28:18).
