Finding the Right Hills to Die On

The Case for Theological Triage

De: Gavin Ortlund, D. A. Carson - foreword

Narrado por: Tom Parks

In theology, just as in battle, some hills are worth dying on. But how do we know which ones? When should doctrine divide, and when should unity prevail? Pastor Gavin Ortlund makes the case that while all doctrines matter, some are more essential than others.

He considers how and what to prioritize in doctrine and ministry, encouraging humility and grace along the way. Using four basic categories of doctrine in order of importance, this book helps new and seasoned church leaders alike wisely labor both to uphold doctrine and to preserve unity.

Solid wisdom

In today’s culture, it is so easy to divide, but this book gives an outline for the way of Jesus in pursuing wisdom and humility when it comes to talking about and living out our doctrine.

Excellent book!

This book was very helpful in my journey as a believer & navigating the differences we have. I love Gavin's emphasis on humility & unity. I highly recommend this book to those working through doctrinal and/or different convictions with those they are close to.

Enjoyed this immensely

Good advice on this subject . Will listen again … I’ve enjoyed every book. I’ve listened to by this author.

Timely and insightful

In a word of division in the church often over secondary issues (or worse) this is a helpful resource to guide our thinking in HOW TO THINK about these issues. I appreciated the framework, humility, and personal examples.

Humility needed.

See above. Seriously, that is the tone of this book. Nuance and charity may be seen as weakness, but unity on the right things is such a gift.

Fantastic and incredibly timely!

Ortlund’s take on this topic is incredibly useful and timely. More churches would be saved from a lot of conflict if they read this book. Very short and sweet, but packs a punch. Worth your time!

excellent

fairly thorough for how short it is. I would like to have seen more on practical applicability for the modern reader.

Wisdom, humility, and a good place to start

This should be a required reading for anyone who wants to debate theology. Ortlund has a lot to offer in this short book.

think beforehand

This book gives good examples of where a Christian should think carefully before speaking or acting when faced with a differing point of view. Humility and love should be our primary motivations when discussing different religious doctrines while still not compromising on the most important truths.

Gracious Humility

I appreciate the call to practice gracious humility in regards to differing interpretations of scripture and different doctrinal creeds. The church should strive for Unity not division in regards to non core doctrines.
