Youth Ministry – Selecting Theological Resources

by Christian on July 03, 2011

As part of the “Questions for the Road” series, Brian Cosby, author, teacher, and Associate Pastor, addresses the following question:

“What three questions should evangelical youth ministers ask when selecting theological resources for their students?”
  1. Does this resource convey a theological understanding of the doctrine of justification, “the doctrine on which the church stands or falls” (Luther)?

  2. Would this resource challenge youth or would it simply keep them gliding along with our culture’s low expectation of them?

  3. Is this resource specific and biblical?  In other words, does it actually give helpful information and is that information grounded in Scripture?

Brian H. Cosby is an author, teacher, and Associate Pastor of Youth and Families at Carriage Lane Presbyterian Church in Peachtree City, Georgia.  His blog can be found here.
