Brave New World Conference Resources
Welcome to our Brave New World Resources Page. Here, you’ll find links to articles, podcasts, and blog posts as well as bibliographies for books and other recommended resources relating to the idea of courageously engaging and compassionately loving others in an increasingly pluralistic society, without compromising our biblical convictions while exploring how the church can effectively communicate the unchanging Word in a relentlessly changing world.
