Filling Up The Afflictions of Christ
Swans Are Not Silent
The fifth volume in Piper’s
acclaimed
The Swans Are Not Silent series
illustrates powerful and enduring
lessons through the missional
sufferings of Tyndale, Judson, and
Paton.
Jesus’ words in John 12 are sobering:
unless a grain of wheat falls into the
earth and dies, it will bear little
fruit. The history of Christianity’s
expansion proves that God’s strategy
for reaching unreached peoples with the
gospel includes the sufferings of his
frontline heralds—the missionaries who
willingly die a thousand daily deaths
to advance God’s kingdom.
Pastor John Piper’s latest addition to
The Swans Are Not Silent series focuses
on this flesh-and-blood reality in the
lives of William Tyndale, Adoniram
Judson, and John Paton. The price they
paid to translate the Word of God, to
pave the way for missionary
mobilization around the world, and to
lead the hostile to Christ was great.
Yet their stories show in triplicate
how the gospel advances not only
through the faithful proclamation of
the truth but through representing the
afflictions of Christ in our sufferings.
