Synopsis

Systematic theology for the urban context

DNA:The Foundations of the Faith presents each reader with a survey of systematic theology written in the heart language of the urban context.

D.A. Horton writes with a conviction that every believer should have the privilege of being equipped with a working knowledge of what the principle teachings of Christianity are. This tool can be used in any setting from the seminary classroom to the local street corner.

Written in a workbook style, readers will explore key scriptures and record all that is discovered as each person is equipped to live out the truths they learn.

Whether attending ReachLife Institute, studying with a small group, or going through this workbook alone, your faith will be enriched as the study of these foundational truths are learned and applied to life.

About this title

About the Author

D.A. HORTON currently serves on staff at Summit Church in Durham, NC while he and his family are preparing to plant a church in Los Angeles. Prior to his current role he served as an urban church planter, pastor, and Lead Teaching Elder in Kansas City, MO for nearly six years; a National Coordinator of Urban Student Ministries and the Urban Initiatives Team at the North American Mission Board (NAMB); and the Executive Director at ReachLife Ministries, the non-profit arm of Reach Records. D.A. is currently working on his Ph.D. at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Applied Theology with a North American emphasis. With a heart to provide local churches with quality Bible-centered tools and resources for evangelism and discipleship, D.A. wrote two books: G.O.S.P.E.L. and DNA: Foundations of the Faith both published by Moody Publishers. His third book, Bound to Be Free: Escaping Performance to be Captured by Grace will be released through NavPress in spring 2016. He and his wife Elicia have two daughters, Izabelle and Lola and one son, D.A. Jr. (aka Duce).

From the Back Cover

DNA: Foundations of the Faith is written with the urban reader in mind through the use of familiar concepts and illustrations.

DNA offers an invitation to dig into the Scriptures and learn foundational truths that believers in Christ need to know as they live on mission in our world today. Written in a workbook style, readers will explore key scriptures and record all that is discovered as each person is equipped to live out the truths they learn.

Whether attending ReachLife Institute, studying with a small group or going through this workbook alone, lives will be enriched as the study of these foundational truths are learned and applied to life.

A masterful yet highly accessible work –this is a rare and timely gift to urban ministers and church members alike. Horton takes on the difficult task of taking the seminary to the streets without compromising the content or context on either side. Written concisely and comparatively to Ryrie’s Basic Theology, yet packaged in such a way that the average un-churched, and often under educated, young adults of today’s urban centers will find manageable. I’ve found DNA: Foundations of the Faith to be a helpful must have for all inner city ministries.
