I have been reading articles published by the staff (and guest writers) for about 18 years. The McKenzie Study Center exists to encourage Christians in their faith and to reach the unbelieving world with the truth of the gospel. Their mission statement and goals are:
MSC seeks to promote an accurate understanding of the Bible’s teaching, conformity to that truth, and uncompromised commitment to biblical Christianity as a philosophy of life…(1) To help Christians learn to study the Bible...(2) To study and explain the biblical gospel…(3) To explore and promote a Christian worldview
I would encourage you to check out the various articles on their site. In addition, MSC is part of a larger organization, the Gutenberg Community which includes the Gutenberg College and The Art Project. Wes Hurd runs the Art Project and his goals are very similar to Makio Fujimura’s IAM ministry.
Some of the staff have also written books. Two in particular have impacted my life and I highly recommend them:
The Most Real Being: A Biblical and Philosophical Defense of Divine Determinism and Righteous Sinners.
The apparent conflict between free will and divine sovereignty has perplexed Christians for ages. Dr. Crabtree proposes a biblically-based and philosophically sound theory of divine determinism that affirms both free will and divine sovereignty.
“These chapters handle problems that constantly trouble and sometimes derail Christians in the main evangelical stream. On faith, failure, wisdom, works, perseverence under pressure, assurance despite shortcomings, and much more, Ron Julian gives truthful teaching to both believers and those who counsel them… Biblically exact and pastorally profound, this book is a gem!”
—J.I. Packer, professor of theology, Regent College
