Robert C. Frank

I’m Robert Frank, author of Christ’s Team. I believe that this is one of the most exciting periods in the history of Christianity. Today over two billion followers of Jesus, aided by science and working together, are involved in gradually transforming the world to improve civilization and provide better management of Earth. The book is intended to help church members understand the important role Christianity plays in our complex, rapidly changing world. It provides a greater appreciation of God’s creative work in the past two thousand years and calls us to be God's assistants in that effort.
The words "team" and "teamwork" are not part of the traditional language of Christianity so it will take some time before we become comfortable with their usage in church. To assist us in making the adjustment perhaps we should say to ourselves each morning, “Anointed at baptism, I am a member of Christ’s Team and a participant in the noblest adventure on Earth.”

Christianity and Science

The book describes the close relationship between Christianity and science required for the relief of suffering in the world, a relationship that has led to dramatic improvements in the quality of human life. Science and technology depend on the teamwork and direction taught by Christianity and Christianity depends on science and technology to develop the tools needed to spread the gospel and provide aid to suffering humanity.

Sharing the Good News and Inviting Others

Christ’s Team is a creative approach to 21^st century evangelism. It remains faithful to basic principles taught by most denominations and at the same time reveals new paths for understanding and sharing information about modern Christianity. The book is an easily read overview of the Christ’s Team concept useful for introducing the subject in Christian education programs. Discussion questions as study guides are included in the book, but may also be downloaded free below.

Christ’s Team builds bridges between Christianity and science; Christianity and sports; Christian denominations; and Christians and non-Christians.

I hope you enjoy the book and become

an inspired member of Christ's Team
