Yet the church has often found it difficult to find and maintain this balance. Today some are emphasizing deeds at the expense of words, while others hold fast to \"talking\" and forsake the doing. This is an imbalance that must be righted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStanding at the helm of a leading Christian college, Duane Litfin has had a first-hand look at the issues students and alumni are talking about. Many Christians are excited to debate the importance of social justice and evangelism now more than ever before. Seeking to level the balance, Litfin steers the conversation toward the biblical harmony of word and deed, pointing out the church's tendency to overcorrect--either cutting out the preaching of the gospel or forgetting the application of action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn elder statesmen in the church, Litfin's training in communication theory and in detailed exegesis is brought to bear on this important subject, bringing verbal proclamation in sync with the witness of one's actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDUANE LITFIN\u003c\/strong\u003e (DPhil, Oxford University; PhD, Purdue University) is president emeritus of Wheaton College where he served for seventeen years.
