Exploring Courage in Light of the Gospel: Throughout Scripture,
important biblical figures have faced numerous adversities with
remarkable courage. In the New Testament, the apostles endured
persecution, imprisonment, and even death for spreading the good news of
the gospel. Yet, amid their struggle, they continued to expand the
kingdom of God—even rejoicing as they suffered for Christ. How can
believers exhibit this same courage today? In Courage, author Joe
Rigney explores the Christian virtue of fortitude and its connection to
the gospel. From a theological perspective, Rigney argues that
courage—used in the proper context—is a sign of God’s salvation and a
believer’s faith in Christ. In this concise and practical book, readers
will defeat feelings of anxiety, anger, and fear as they gain boldness
from God to endure all of life’s circumstances.
