Keys To Following Jesus
$15.61

Keys to following Jesus, is a great book design to guard you in your walk with Jesus Christ and to enhance your knowledge about the principles and works of God and His kingdom. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, this book will help you get to know Jesus and develop an intimate relationship with Him, even if you don’t know Him, this book will also create in you a stronger desire to follow Jesus. I believe many people want to follow Jesus but don’t know how to go about it; having a desire for someone and knowing how to get to know them are two different things.

If you don’t know what to do about the situation you’re faced with now, your ability to take you to the next level will be hinder, because it’s through knowledge you’re going to be deliver into your inheritance; not through your job, or through your employer or through your connection with the president, but through knowledge. I believe that your divine inheritance is not anywhere else, but in Jesus, because every man that is born into this world has their place in Him; your peace is in Him, your prosperity, joy and divine health is in Jesus. When you discover this, your life will be change!

Iesus Deus : The Early Christian Depiction Of Jesus As A Mediterranean God
$65.00

1. Not Through Semen Surely
2. From Where Was This Child Born
3. Deus Est Invare
4. Light Was That Godhead
5. We Worship One Who Rose From His Tomb
6. The Name Above Every Name

Additional Info
What does it mean for Jesus to be “deified” in early Christian literature? Early Christians did not simply assert Jesus’ divinity; in their literature, they depicted Jesus with the specific and widely recognized traits of Mediterranean deities.

Relying on the methods of the history of religions and ranging judiciously across Hellenistic literature, M. David Litwa shows that at each stage in their depiction of Jesus’ life and ministry, early Christian writings from the beginning relied on categories drawn not from Judaism alone, but on a wide, pan-Mediterranean understanding of deity.

Additional Info
Although several scholars have written about how Luke portrays Jesus and the apostles as prophets, no one has yet provided a comprehensive theory as to why Luke’s protagonists resemble the prophets.

McWhirter shows that Luke uses these biblical prophets as precedents, seeking to legitimate the apostles’ teachings in the face of events, such as the destruction of Jerusalem and the deaths of Peter and Paul, which seem to contradict those teachings. In order to show that all this was part of God’s plan, Luke compares Jesus and his witnesses to Israel’s prophets who were rejected by their own people.

God The Revealed
$32.99

A new Christology by an internationally respected theologian

“God revealed himself in Jesus Christ!” Christian faith has confessed and proclaimed this message for nearly two thousand years. But what does it really mean?

In God the Revealed Michael Welker delves into this declaration and shows how it offers genuine insight into Christian faith. He asks “Who is Jesus Christ for us today?” and approaches the answer from five different angles — the historical Jesus, the resurrection, the cross, the reign of Christ, and eschatology. Uniquely, Welker argues for the need to place historical Jesus research in a Christology and proposes a “Fourth Quest” for the historical Jesus.

Christology Ancient And Modern
$22.99

Christology was the central doctrine articulated by the early councils, and it remains the subject of vigorous theological investigation today. The doctrine of Christ is a field of broad ecumenical convergence, inviting theologians from all denominational settings to fruitful collaborative exploration. In the contemporary setting, it is especially crucial for theologians to investigate the scriptural witness afresh, to retrieve classical criteria and categories from the tradition, and to consider the generative pressure of soteriology for Christology proper. The first annual Los Angeles Theology Conference sought to make a positive contribution to contemporary dogmatics in intentional engagement with the Christian tradition. Christology, Ancient and Modern brings together conference proceedings, surveying the field and articulating the sources, norms, and criteria for constructive theological work in Christology.

Dictionary Of Jesus And The Gospels (Revised)
$70.00

The second edition of the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels is a thoroughly reconstructed and revised version of the critically acclaimed 1992 first edition. Since that groundbreaking volume was published, a wave of Jesus and Gospel scholarship has crested and broken on the shores of a new century. Jesus has been proposed as sage, shaman, revolutionary, marginal Jew, Mediterranean peasant or a prophet of Israel’s restoration. The non-canonical Gospels have been touted, examined and reassessed. There are revised understandings of historiography, orality, form criticism, empire and more. The second edition of the DJG amply weighs and assess the gains and shortcomings of this new scholarship. Here is a self-contained reference library of information and perspective essential to exploring Jesus and the Gospels. This volume bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and interested readers who want thorough treatments of key topics in an accessible and summary format. Articles cover each Gospel, major themes in the Gospels, key episodes in the life of Jesus, significant background topics, as well as issues and methods of interpretation. Among other benefits, it allows multiple opportunities for each of the Gospels to be weighed and heard in its own voice. Bibliographies are full and up to date, putting readers in touch with the best work in the field. All of this allows the articles to serve as launching pads for further research. When the first edition of the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels was published, it was immediately recognized as an innovative reference work. By taking a particular corpus of biblical books and exploring it with in-depth articles written by specialists in the field, it refashioned a staple reference genre. This dictionary model has now been applied to each segment of the biblical canon in successive volumes. Those who have enjoyed and benefitted from the wealth in the first edition will find the second edition an equally indispensable companion to study and research. Over ninety percent of the articles have been completely rewritten, and the rest thoroughly revised and updated. Here is the doorway into a reliable and comprehensive summary and appraisal of the last twenty years of Jesus scholarship. A new generation of scholars has opened the way to make this a Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels for the twenty-first century.

Yeshua Ha Mashiach
$19.36

YESHUA HA MASHIACH Epilogue In the temple area where the trial of Jesus was being conducted by Caiaphas (high priest that year) all seventy-one members of the Sanhedrin (Jewish Supreme Court) along with the elders, the rulers, and teachers of the law, a large crowd of people had gathered. Some of those present had methodically planned this event and had already paid for one of his disciples to betray him. It was truly a “set-up” deal that brought out quite a crowd of people at about daylight that morning. These “high ranking” men were fed up with this notorious trouble-maker who was causing them to lose money by drawing such large crowds of lower-class people away from them and they were all determined to put a stop to him once and for all. A few feet away from where they stood was a room within the temple called the “Holy of Holies” where only the high priest was allowed to enter, once each year, carrying the blood of an animal that had been sacrificed for the sins of the nation. These officials were the highest authorities of their religion yet they could not see that they were going to murder the “Giver of Life”. They had no idea that this man was actually the creator of the universe, while the common folks seemed to readily accept it. Why would they bar Jesus from going behind the veil and into the “Holy of Holies”? Certainly they knew more about God than anyone else. And so, they all shouted as one: “CRUCIFY HIM!” YESHUA HA MASHIACH – (Jesus the Messiah) Who is he anyway?

Some people see Jesus’ death as a historical footnote, buried in the past. Christians understand it is much more than that, and know it has transformed their future.

But often we don’t realise how much Jesus’ last day should change our present, too.

Walking readers through Luke’s Gospel, US pastor and well-known author Mike McKinley looks at the events of the last day of Jesus’ earthly life. At each point, he pauses to marvel at the love Christ has for His people; and shows how Jesus’ people can learn from His passion, His care, and His integrity.

This unique book is perfect for both new and mature Christians. While great for reading at any time in the year, it’s particularly helpful to read during Lent or Holy Week.

Christianity Without Superstition
$25.26

A re-examination of Jesus’ way for living and what it means to be Christian

Author’s earlier works are evergreen best-sellers

Is belief in the Nicene and Apostles Creed required to be a Christian? Does science support or diminish belief in the divine? How does one live Jesus’ way in the world?

A careful study of Jesus shows that his intended legacy for us was not a set of propositional beliefs, but a way for being in the world, a way that opens us to the extraordinary opportunity of the present, a way that can convert our hurried, anxious lives into something luminous.

Our obsession with “what to believe” misses the primary message of the Bible, says McQuiston, who illustrates that the paramount message of Jesus, and even the Hebrew Scriptures, is not about what stories to believe, but how to live.

Forsaken : The Trinity The Cross And Why It Matters
$24.99

My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? How should a Christian interpret this passage? What implications does the cross have for the trinitarian theology? Did the Father kill the Son? Theologian Thomas McCall presents a trinitarian reading of Christ’s darkest moment–the moment of his prayer to his heavenly Father from the cross. McCall revisits the biblical texts and surveys the various interpretations of Jesus cry, ranging from early church theologians to the Reformation to contemporary theologians. Along the way, he explains the terms of the scholarly debate and clearly marks out what he believes to be the historically orthodox point of view. By approaching the Son’s cry to the Father as an event in the life of the Triune God, Forsaken calls the church to a new reverence for the cross.

Many Witnesses One Lord
$16.00

The author writes: This book has been written to say something that I have long felt, and long wished to say. We have heard much of the unity of the New Testament, and that unity is something which no one will wish to deny. But in the New Testament there is also diversity. There is no one standardized religious experience; there is no one stereotyped interpretation of the Christian faith and message. There is a company of men witnessing to what Jesus Christ has been to them, and still is. So in this book I have tried to see what Christ and Christianity and the Christian life meant to the different men who wrote the books of the New Testament.

Jesus We Missed
$15.99

A respected and beloved theologian shows how a renewed appreciation for the humanity of Jesus Christ can better our biblical understanding of the Savior, strengthen our faith, intensify our relationship with him, and give us hope in the darkest hours of our lives. What do we make of passages like Luke 2 when Jesus befuddles the wise in the Temple but still is said to have “increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man”? The examples are many, but the point is simple: “The glory of God is a living man,” said Irenaeus of Lyons, a Christian leader trained by the apostle John himself. The Word did not simply become human. Rather, the Word became a specific human being, Jesus of Nazareth. In other words, he made himself just like us.

Jesus was a real man, of particular weight and height, eye-color, disposition, tempers, talents, ambition, etc. He had a mom and family. He got hungry. He got angry. He was moved to tears and compassion. He had limits. While taking special care not to minimize the Godhood of Christ, Patrick Henry Reardon helps readers come to grips with his real flesh-and-blood humanity-the confession of the Christian church for 2,000 years. If we are to grow in our understanding of Christ, growing in appreciation of His humanity is key. In Christ, God stooped as low as man to bring us on high, back into the fellowship that Adam lost.

Infinity Dwindled To Infancy
$49.99

At the heart of all ecumenical dialogue between Catholics and Evangelicals is their fundamental agreement on Christology – and a common understanding and confession of the lordship of Jesus Christ as the unique Savior of the human race. Infinity Dwindled to Infancy provides a broad survey of doctrinal and historical issues at play in Christology. Drawing from a wide range of sources – contemporary New Testament scholarship and patristic Christology, key medieval theologians, major Protestant voices, Catholic theologians, and recent magisterial statements from Vatican II – Edward T. Oakes presents two millennia of thinking on one of the great paradoxes at the heart of Christian faith: “an infinite God who is finite man . . . in short, Infinity dwindled to infancy.”

Incarnation Of Truth
$19.36

It is more than likely that you’ve heard the question asked, “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?” Such a question makes it seem that truth can come in three different measures. While this is not necessarily the best way to describe it, it is accurate to say that truth can be revealed in a measure, a fuller measure, and in its fullest measure.

There is a threefold revelation of the reason for the incarnation revealed in Scripture. Every Christian should know why God the Father sent His Son Jesus to dwell among us as a man. Unfortunately so many believers only know and believe the initial revelation of the purpose of the incarnation. I invite you to take a deeper journey into truth with me and be strengthened and made free by the fuller and fullest revelation of the reason for the incarnation. So . . . help us God!

Jesus : The Way The Truth And The Life
$54.98

Jesus – The Way, The Truth and The Life” will prove that Jesus is the only Way to God, the very embodiment of all Truth and the very essence of Life, just as He declared of Himself in the fourteenth chapter and sixth verse of the gospel of John by saying, “I am the way, the truth, and the life and that no one comes to the Father except through Me.”

This book will show using systematic theology, proofs and truth arguments that Jesus is exactly who He says He is, confirmed by God the Father, the Holy Spirit and by Christ Himself.

Jesus said in Mark 8; 27 of scripture “Who do you say I Am.” This book will make it obvious why you must answer this pointed question just as Peter did in claiming to Jesus that “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God”. Time is getting short and Jesus is on His way back to earth. It’s not a time to be confused or wrong on issues having eternal consequences.

Though the book reads as a college textbook it forces you to think and study the word of God. The book is most valuable in a curriculum setting or for those interested in Christian apologetics. Jesus is compared to a myriad of other secular philosophies both past and present and as a result it is conclusively obvious that Jesus is the way, truth and the life and all others are false.

This book stands on the foundation that a relationship with God thru Christ is by faith alone (Sola Fide), by grace alone (Sola Gratia), by Christ alone (Solus Christus), by scripture alone (Sola Scriptura) and with glory to God alone (Soli Deo Gloria).

Historical Jesus : What We Can Know And How We Can Know It
$20.99

This provocative little book addresses two primary questions: What does “historical” mean? and How should we apply this to Jesus?

Anthony Le Donne begins with the unusual step of considering human perception – how sensory data from sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell are interpreted from the outset by what we expect, what we’ve learned, and how we categorize the world. In this way Le Donne shows how historical memories are initially formed. He unpacks the nature of human memory and how it interacts with group memories. Finally he demonstrates how his definition and philosophy of history can be used to illuminate three dimensions of Jesus’ life: his dysfunctional family, his politics, and his final confrontation in Jerusalem.

Darkness
$21.23

Three Day Series Book 1 The Darkness is the first book in a series that explores the three mysterious days between Jesus’ death and resurrection. What happened in Heaven and in Sheol during these days? Why did Joseph bury Jesus, and what were Mary, Annas, Caiaphas, and the disciples doing while Jesus was dead? And what about that dark world of evil spirits; what were they up to while Jesus was gone? But most importantly, what was Jesus Himself accomplishing while the earth was poised between two covenants with God? This series explores it all. A dramatic re-enactment of history’s most pivotal transition, this unexplored subject becomes an epic adventure that wisely informs. Introducing Christianity in an entertaining way, this series also unveils a few mysteries which are vital to the universal church. Deeply moving and creatively humorous, this series is a must read for anyone even remotely interested in the things of God.

What is the relation between faithful teaching about the reality of Christ and teaching faithfulness to the way of Christ?
How is christological doctrine related to theological judgments about normative human agency?
With renewed attention and creative reformulation, they argue, we can discover fresh ways of tending to these perennial questions.

While many know of the signal contributions of such twentieth-century giants as Paul Tillich or Karl Barth or Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the important work since their time often goes unremarked until some major controversy erupts. Here is a smart and helpful survey of the chief approaches and thinkers in today”s understanding of the person, significance, and work of Jesus Christ.

Schweitzer offers an insightful introduction to the contemporary context of Christology, in which basic questions in the discipline (and soteriology) are being rethought in light of globalization, postmodernity, and the contemporary experience of evil. He then offers a kind of typology of the current approaches and voices.

Schweitzer”s volume concludes with a reflection on the recent past and present imperatives of a discipline that virtually defines what Christianity has to offer the present age.

This book for preachers and students of preaching helps the reader see four distinct aspects of the rhetoric of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels: dialogical (preaching in response to challenges and questions); proclamatory (making bold and authoritative statements); occasionally self-referential (though less so than in the fourth Gospel); and persistently figurative (illustrating his message through metaphor). Brosend spends one chapter on each of these methods, closing each chapter with a sermon that models that approach. Sample sermons are by well-known preachers including Fred Craddock, Michael Curry, Tom Long, and Barbara Brown Taylor. Brosend concludes with a sermon of his own.

Are You The One Who Is To Come
$35.00

“Jesus understood himself as designated by God as the Messiah of Israel.” This thesis may strike many historical-Jesus scholars as dangerously bold. But through careful study of the Gospels, Second Temple literature, and other period texts, scholar Michael Bird makes a persuasive argument that Jesus saw himself as performing the role attributed to the messiah in the Scriptures of Israel and believed that Israel’s restoration hinged on the outcome of his ministry.

Bird begins by exploring messianic expectations in the Old Testament and in Second Temple Judaism, finding in them an evolving messianism that provides historical context for Jesus’ life and teaching. Next, he examines the prevailing contention that the messianic claim originated not with Jesus himself but in the preaching of the early church. Bird argues that such contentions lack cogency and often skew the evidence. Examining the Gospels and related literature, he then shows that what Jesus said and did demonstrates that he believed he was Israel’s messiah. His career was “performatively messianic” in a way that shows continuity in eschatological terms between Israel and the church.

Heaven And Earth In The Gospel Of Matthew
$56.47

The theme of heaven and earth is a much-overlooked aspect of the Gospel of Matthew. In this work, rising scholar Jonathan Pennington articulates a fresh perspective on this key interpretive issue. He challenges both the scholarly consensus on the kingdom of heaven in Matthew and a popular dispensationalist understanding, overturning some long-held assumptions in New Testament scholarship.

Pennington argues that rather than being a reverent way of referring to God as is typically assumed, “heaven” in Matthew is part of a highly developed discourse of heaven and earth language. He explains that Matthew’s way of using heaven language serves one overriding theological purpose: to highlight the tension that currently exists between heaven and earth or God and humanity, while looking forward to its eschatological resolution. Now available in paperback, this volume will appeal to students of the New Testament, including those interested in its theological and pastoral applications.

Crucifixion And The Death Cry Of Jesus
$19.98

Crucifixion and the Death Cry of Jesus Christ The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) emphatically state that Jesus cried out in a loud voice just as he breathed his last. This cry caused hardened Roman soldiers to fear, praise God, and state that “truly, this man was the Son of God.” All the multitudes who came together for this spectacle, when they saw what happened, began to return, beating their breast. Why were the multitudes so affected by Christ’s death? In this book, Dr. Phelan combines more than thirty years of the study of medicine, ancient languages, and scripture to show the reality of the death of Jesus Christ. A clear description of the ancient times and the crucifixion process is presented. Seasoned Bible scholars will find refreshing new insight into what happened when Jesus was crucified. New believers can learn how the suffering of Jesus really happened. All will be reminded that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Beyond All Measure
$19.98

This book is about Jesus and His love for His children. It attempts to look at who we are, and how Christ relates to us in spite of who we are. Using the proper light of Scripture to view and expose ourselves, we are then enabled to see the glorious nature of His unconditional love for us. Thomas Watson rightly said, “Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.” My desire is that each of us would expand our view of Christ’s love for us. We have but a partial view of His incredible love, and so each of us needs to grow in our knowledge of it. This will be an eternal endeavor, and so I can think of very little that is more exciting than striving together to grow in the knowledge of the love of Christ. “Nothing binds me to my Lord like a strong belief in His changeless love.” – C.H. Spurgeon “We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.” – John Owen “Our Lord God must be a pious man to be able to love rascals.” – Martin Luther “He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.” – C.S. Lewis
