Historic Soviet Congress

By Editorial Staff
Published December 1990

MOSCOW, Soviet Union (FR) – A few weeks after the Supreme Soviet legislature had voted to abolish laws which restricted religion, nearly 1000 of the nation’ evangelical church leaders gathered for the Soviet Congress on World Evangelization. This marked the first time in 73 years that Soviet believers were able to gather for such a large interdenominational gathering.

1100 Soviet participants came from a cross section of evangelical churches and all 15 provinces of the Soviet Union. The participants of the Lausanne Congress in Moscow, coming from many different church denominations, affirmed the common tenants of Christian doctrine outlined in the Lausanne Covenant.

The Congress examined evangelism in a variety of ways including unreached groups, nominal Christians, business people, and young people. Participants looked at the mass media, spiritual discipleship, and church leadership and organizing new churches.

The Congress theme, “The Gospel for All Peoples,” was designed to bring delegates face to face with the immensity of the task before them. The earth’s largest nation, the Soviet Union occupies over one-seventh of the globes land surface and is the world’s third most populous country.

Martin Luther (DVD) 1953 Classic

Niall MacGinnis – Digitally Remastered

The dramatic classic film of Martin Luther’s life was released in theaters worldwide in the 1950s and was nominated for two Oscars. A magnificent depiction of Luther and the forces at work in the surrounding society that resulted in his historic reforming efforts, this film traces Luther’s life from a guilt-burdened monk to his eventual break with the Roman Catholic Church.

In spite of its age, this film continues to be a popular resource to introduce Luther’s life. This historical epic captures the life and times of the greatest figure of the Protestant Reformation with depth and clarity, while giving a glimpse at the private man in the eye of the storm. Luther’s protest against the established order of the Church gave birth to one of the largest religious and cultural movements history and serves as a prime example of how one man’s spiritual convictions can change the course of human events.

Amazing GraceAmazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)

Download the Free on-line Study Guide!

Just what is Calvinism?

Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won’t evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?

This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten “Sunday-school-sized” sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.
