Left Behind and Loving It

D. Mark Davis

Left Behind and Loving It

Left Behind and Loving It is a cheeky critique of popular writings about the end times. Rather than presenting a steroid-buffed Jesus wrapped in an American flag and «coming again in clouds of gunfire,» Left Behind and Loving It invites readers to approach some of the most controversial and scary portions of the Scriptures with the utter confidence that «God's steadfast love endures forever.» Rather than asserting a hope premised on a few chosen ones escaping the world, Left Behind and...

Iron Sharpens Iron

Robert P. Vande Kappelle

Iron Sharpens Iron

Iron Sharpens Iron is grounded in the conviction that humans have the capacity to transcend conventional spirituality to a genuine and wholesome faith that is dynamic rather than static, future-oriented rather than past-oriented, and owned rather than passively acquired. Classroom tested, this discussion guide is an ideal way for thoughtful Christians–in individual and group settings–to interact with timely topics. Like its companion text, Beyond Belief: Science, Faith, and the Value of...

Consistently Pro-Life

Rob Arner

Consistently Pro-Life

Consistently Pro-Life is a book about killing. Specifically, it takes up the question of when and under what circumstances is it morally justifiable for a Christian to take human life. The murder of abortionist Dr. George Tiller on Pentecost Sunday 2009 reignited the national debate over abortion by focusing attention on the seeming hypocrisy of those who would kill to defend life. But many times, those who would condemn the killing of Dr. Tiller would readily justify the killing of human beings...

The book is an «easy» read, but will take some digestion time to ponder the subject matter. It is also an...

Religious Mourning

Nathan Carlin

Religious Mourning

Religious Mourning is about a common experience among those who study religion: religious loss. When people of faith study religion critically, or when life experiences such as death and divorce trigger personal reflection on faith, religious intellectuals often become estranged from their own tradition. Sometimes this estrangement causes them to leave religion altogether. But for those who study religion from a psychological perspective, a certain kind of introspective and iconoclastic...

The Young Baptist's Catechism

Adam Murrell

The Young Baptist's Catechism

The Young Baptist's Catechism is a summary of the basic teachings of Christianity.

Buddhism in the Light of Christ

Esther Baker

Buddhism in the Light of Christ

Buddhism's influence is growing in the West, as seen in the widespread use of «Buddhist mindfulness apps» in people's attempts to unwind, or the casual use of words like «nirvana» and «karma» that have crept into the English language. Whether we meet it in the East or West, what is Buddhism? What is at the heart of its teachings? How does Buddhism differ from Christianity, and are they compatible? Through a collection of true short stories and testimonies, Buddhism in the Light of...

Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables, Volume III

This third volume of Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables contains a previously unpublished series of sermons by Edwards on Jesus' Parable of the Net, as found in Matthew 13. Edwards preached these sermons in 1746, after the major phase of the Great Awakening had passed in New England and during the very months he was completing and publishing A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections, his masterful statement on the true and false signs of true grace. Therefore, this series...

A Theological Introduction to Paul’s Letters

In this study Kim explores a new way of reading Paul's letters and understanding his theology with a focus on three aspects of Paul's gospel: «the righteousness of God,» «faith of Christ,» and «the body of Christ.» Kim argues that Paul's thought can be best understood by reading these genitives as the subjective or attributive genitives, rather than as the objective genitives. The subjective or attributive reading places an emphasis on the subject's participation: God's...

Justpeace Ethics

Jarem Sawatsky

Justpeace Ethics

People too often enter into conflict with an eye on how to resolve, manage, or transform it, thereby losing sight of the people involved and the end desired. Justice and peace too often serve as abstract ideals or distant shores. We have not yet learned enough about how these ends can also be the means of conflict resolution. Drawing on the imaginations of some leading peace and restorative justice practitioners, Justpeace Ethics identifies components of a justpeace imagination–the basis of an...

Evangelicals and Liberation Revisited

Despite the fact that the theological gains of Latin American Liberation Theology (LALT) have been incorporated into several theologies around the world, many North Atlantic evangelicals still consider LALT a heresy. The underlying reason for the lack of positive engagement between North Atlantic Evangelical Theology in general–and American Evangelical Theology in particular–and LALT is the mistaken perception that LALT and evangelical theology are necessarily contradictory. In Evangelicals...

Holiness as a Liberal Art

Holiness as a Liberal Art

Holiness is a topic that is rarely discussed in Christian colleges and seminaries, yet the rationale for the existence of these institutions is that they provide environments where people can grow into the image of Christ. In other words, these places exist so that Christians can grow in holiness. The essays collected in this volume treat the theme of holiness from a variety of theological disciplines, all with the purpose of disabusing Christians from mischaracterizations of the theme as well...

Introducing Romans

Paul S. Jeon

Introducing Romans

The letter of Romans has changed countless lives, and it can change your life as well! If you have ever wanted to know God, there is no better introduction other than Romans. The depth and length of the letter, however, have discouraged many people from exploring it. This short book was written to help you start that exploration–an exploration that you will take again and again throughout your life. I have no doubt that your life will never be the same after experiencing this majestic letter.

Giving Voice to the Silent Pulpit

Barry E. Blood Sr.

Giving Voice to the Silent Pulpit

In Giving Voice to the Silent Pulpit, author Barry Blood explores the many differences that exist between Popular Christianity, (the doctrine as taught from the pulpit) and Academic Christianity, (the doctrine as taught in our colleges and seminaries). He contends these are startling differences that may shock the average Christian layperson. The author reveals how these differences have created an intellectual gap between the church and our present day worldview of reality, a gap which has...

When it comes to dealing with life's inevitable difficulties, a pastoral visit and a prayer are helpful, but people of faith–and people in search of faith–need sacred assurance directly from God's Word. They need a Scripture app. While many books reference Scriptures for...

The Story of Beginnings

H. Mark Abbott

The Story of Beginnings

In the Bible's introduction are embedded foundational perspectives on «who God is» and «who humans are and what we should be doing» that are developed throughout the book. Genesis 1-3 is the story of beginnings, depicting who the Creator-God is, what this God intended for the creation, especially for the human creation, how humans messed up, and at least a hint of what God is doing about this. Like Jesus, the Apostle Paul, and early church leaders, when we want to know what God intended, we...

Living in Limbo

Donald Capps

Living in Limbo

Limbo has traditionally been viewed as a place between heaven, on the one hand, and purgatory and hell, on the other, to which the patriarchs, who lived under the old law, and babies who died before being baptized into the Christian faith have been consigned. Like purgatory, it is a dark place but not deprived of grace. Now that the Roman Catholic Church has declared that limbo is not an official church teaching, the idea of limbo has been freed from ecclesiastical constraints and available for...

Angels, Worms, and Bogeys

From their theological and devotional writings to their social and ecclesial practices, the fathers and mothers of Pietism boldly declared the ethical spirit of the Christian faith. This seventeenth-century renewal movement inspired a simple Christian ethic by connecting Christian character with the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love. They sought to cultivate these virtues by reading Scripture together, empowering the common priesthood of believers, and engaging in social and ecclesial...

Funny Stuff in the Bible

Funny Stuff in the Bible

Funny Stuff in the Bible is a field trip through the Bible library hunting for funny stuff. The many stories and other literature in this library were written over a period of a thousand years. This is well known. Thinking of the Bible as a library provides perspective. Though there are more copies of this library, its writings bound into a single volume, than of any other book in the world, the literature in it is underrated and underenjoyed. It is underenjoyed because of the smog created by...

Progressive Faith and Practice

Progressive Faith and Practice

Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel has said that there is a new commandment: «Thou shalt not stand idly by.» This book articulates a progressive faith that represents a true marriage of the academic work of the modern biblical critical movement and the historical Jesus work of the Jesus Seminar applied within the life of an active parish. Setting aside the magic and superstition found in much of traditional religious life and affirming an evidence-based approach to faith,...
