Testimonies

I just wish to thank you for your ministries that you do by the power and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I would say I’m about an adolescent Christian only giving my life to the Lord and getting baptized my freshman year of college (I’m now a senior). In between those times I worked at a Christian book store and more often than not got in trouble for reading the merchandise (even though I was the music dude). One of those book was your “Satan and the Problem of Evil.” It ultimately rocked me, and I finally had the money…

 Hey Greg, I watched the CNN documentary God’s Christian Warriors, and I wanted to say that I think what you said about Christ not taking any part in the political world of his day was one of the most incitful things said throughout the entire documentary. The leader of the Christian movement, Jesus Christ, was offered all the kingdoms of the world by Satan, and in effect, to be ruler over them and he refused. Later He told Pilate that His kingdom was no part of this world. So how can Christians think that they should be part of this…

I love your books.  I was an atheist for the longest time until my good friend lent me a copy of your book “God of the Possible.”  That book changed the way I thought about God, and I began to realize that the God I was so against, might not be the God of Christianity.  My conversion occurred shortly thereafter on Sept 9th 2001.  Since then I’ve followed your sermons and read more of your books (‘God at War’ and ‘Satan and the Problem of Evil’) and I really believe you are doing God’s work.  I want to thank you…

Hello Friends! I just received Dr. Boyd’s book, “The Myth of a Christian Nation” and to say I’m enjoying it is an understatement. More like doing back flips off my walls! No, seriously, this book is long in coming and absolutely RIGHT ON. The world is weeping for the Lamb who Heals and is immune to the Christian rhetoric. The worlds wants to know what WE can do about meeting its longings, its needs.  

Hey Greg, The whole Christus Victor theme, and the whole thing about Christ coming to set up his kingdom is kind of new and exciting for me.I´m in the middle of the 4 views – nature of the atonement book. Your essay is awesome. After reading it, it was hard to bring myself to read the criticisms from the other authors. I grew up hearing the only penal substitution side of the story. Your explanation filled a lot of gaps in my understanding of why Jesus died, and answered a lot of questions I had – as does much of…

Pastor Greg,…I am in the process of reading pretty much everything you’ve ever written and your theological process has quite literally redefined what it means for me to be a follower of Christ.  Satan and the Problem of Evil has confirmed what I already knew in my heart….that the world is a war zone. Christus Victor as the guiding thrust of atonement just makes sence. Limited Open Theism is pretty much the only way to not make God a neutered sadist. In essence your kind’ve my long distance pastor…I want to thank you for all you have helped me with.…

Hi Greg, I current live in Los Angeles. I’ve only recently become acquainted with your work. Last week I read “The Case for Christ” and had begun doing a bit of research on the people Lee Strobel interviewed. As a result I happened upon the various interviews that you had done regarding “Myth of the Christian Nation”, and from there I heard your sermon series “The Cross and the Sword”. I’ve been a Christian ever since I was in elementary school and grew up in a Christian household. My parents are probably what you would think of when you think…

Thank you just sums it up very nicely, yet doesn’t seem like enough.  I will never be able to express fully the way your teachings, explanations of theology and challenges have revolutionized my life.  I have been a Christian since I was 16 (nearly 20 years) and I am finally able to articulate what I’ve known in my gut all along.  God is a God of LOVE!  Reading Is God to Blame?  finally made me realize I wasn’t crazy….Since reading that more than 18 months ago I’ve found great joy in reading God of the Possible  and God at War. …

I am a graduate student studying theology and psychology …my current academic endeavors have the goal of putting me at the occupational forefront where theology meets the road of real life–and specifically helping people who’ve been “run over” on the road–as a Christian counselor. Having read several of your books in the last couple months, including every page of Satan and the Problem…, I want to thank you immeasurably for your contribution to my newfound understanding of life and God. If I may use such language, God has finally been “liberated” in my mind and heart from the accusation and…

I live in Denver, Colorado. I read the story on your church and I would like to say that I do not know Jesus – I was never baptized as a child and have not made a firm decision up until this point. I have always been Christian – ish but was severely put off by the “God is on our side” speeches that I heard from our President and others. I had done a bit of independent studying of the Bible and Jesus and that statement did not support the things that the Bible says of Jesus. This near…

  Hi Greg, I imagine you’re getting a flurry of email today and more will come if local media outlets pick up the NYT story. I know it is not the approval of man that you seek, but we do appreciate you and the ministry of Woodland Hills. Thank you for challenging us as Christians to look beyond the easy road of life and our worldly desires to the call of the cross. We have been attendees at Woodland Hills off and on for over eleven years now and continue to pray for the ministry of Woodland Hills. I have…
