    • Millennial Maze

      $31.99

      In THE MILLENIAL MAZE, Stanley J. Grenz provides historical and biblical, as well as theological, perspective on the four positions held by evangelicals–postmillennialism, dispensational premillenialism, historic premillennialism and amillenialism. Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each position, he seeks to cut a new path through the maze that reaffirms the valid insights of each and sounds a fresh note of hope in an age of shattered illusions.

    • Creation Hypothesis

      $39.99

      IVP Print On Demand Title

      For a century the reigning scientific view has been that God is not necessary to account for the existence of the world and of life. Evolutionary theory is said to be all that is needed to explain how we got here. In addition, many theistic evolutionists contend that God likely used many of the mechanisms of evolution to achieve his will. In this book J.P. Moreland and a panel of scholars assert that there is actually substantial evidence pointing in a different direction. First, they consider philosophical arguments about whether it is possible for us to know if an intelligent designer had a hand in creation. They then look directly at four different areas of science: the origin of life, the origin of major groups of organisms, the origin of human language, and the origin and formation of the universe. Experts on this panel were: Stephen Meyer, William Dembski, Hugh Ross, Walter Bradley, Charles Thaxton, Kurt Wise, John Oller, John Omdahl, John Ankerberg, and John Weldon.

    • Battle Of Beginnings

      $25.99

      Del Ratzsch examines the history of the debate and takes aim at entrenched positions that he argues impede progress from either side. Dissatisfied with both creationist fallacies and materialist misconstruals, he seeks to lay the groundwork for more fruitful dialogue. In considerable detail he looks at the history and development of Darwin’s theory and popular creationist misunderstandings of evolution, moving on to the history and development of creationist theory and popular evolutionist misunderstandings of it. He then discusses the nature of science and common creationist and evolutionist abuses as a prelude to showing why both sides have remained critical of theistic evolution.

    • Waiting : Finding Hope When God Seems Silent

      $25.99

      Are you waiting? For a spouse, for a child, for a new career, for healing, for relief in an unhappy marriage? Patterson uncovers two virtues of waiting patiently: humility and hope. You’ll learn how humility teaches us that we exist for God’s sake, not our own; and how hope assures us that there is something worth waiting for.

      Applying theology to worship and to the practice of liturgy, this innovative work reclaims the importance of word and sacrament as the center for the church’s life and witnesses. Drawing connections between liturgy and life, this collection deepens worship-life by helping congregations “to talk with each other about the ways we encounter the living God in worship;” and by strengthening “skills that enhance worship.” Worship in an Age of Mission addresses pastoral liturgical and sacramental issues at work in congregations today and offers a comprehensive vision for congregational life centered around word and sacrament.

    • What Do Lutherans Believe About Baptism

      $7.43

      How can pastors explain infant baptism using scripture? When John Conrad looked for resources to help him, he found none that addressed the issue from an almost exclusively scriptural viewpoint. And he discovered that couples from differing religious backgrounds (such as Baptist and Roman Catholic) often opted not to baptize their children mainly because they couldn’t come to any point of agreement. So Conrad decided to fill this void — and his research is an excellent clarification of this often murky topic. What Do Lutherans Believe About Baptism? will be useful to pastors as background for a sermon series or as information to share with parents preparing for baptism. It also makes for an excellent short study on baptism for adult classes.

      $28.99

      New in the Abingdon New Testament Commentary series, Carolyn Osiek’s concise look at Philippians & Philemon is a combination of up-to-date scholarship and clear exposition of Paul’s thought. While traditional exegetical questions and contemporary theological concerns are dealt with, special effort is given to probing the social controversies of the Pauline churches. Issues of gender roles and slavery are given particular attention as they arise in the text.

      Additional Info
      In this excellent outline of Christian ethics, Robin W. Lovin achieves a balance between the questions and issues which form the core of the study of ethics, and the life situations from which those questions arise.

      Eschewing a sectarian approach which dismisses other understandings of the moral life, Lovin nonetheless lays claim to a specifically Christian understanding of ethics. He begins with basic Christian convictions about the reality of God and human redemption and weaves these convictions into the fabric of moral concerns that are widely shared in contemporary society. He takes note of the problems that arise when Christians try to act on or enforce their convictions in a pluralistic society and recognizes the variety of theological and moral beliefs that are held within the Christian community, as well as in the wider society.

    • Godric

      $19.99

      Frederick Buechner’s Godric “retells the life of Godric of Finchale, a twelfth-century English holy man whose projects late in life included that of purifying his moral ambition of pride…Sin, spiritual yearning, rebirth, fierce asceticism–these hagiographic staples aren’t easy to revitalize but Frederick Buechner goes at the task with intelligent intensity and a fine readiness to invent what history doesn’t supply. He contrives a style of speech for his narrator–Godric himself–that’s brisk and tough-sinewed…He avoids metaphysical fiddle, embedding his narrative in domestic reality–familiar affection, responsibilities, disasters…All on his own, Mr. Buechner has managed to reinvent projects of self-purification and of faith as piquant matter for contemporary fiction [in a book] notable for literary finish…Frederick Buechner is a very good writer indeed.” — Benjamin DeMott, The New York Times Book Review

      “From the book’s opening sentence…and sensible reader will be caught in Godric’s grip…Godric glimmers brightly.” — Peter S. Prescott, Newsweek

      “Godric is a memorable book…a marvelous gem of a book…destined to become a classic of its kind.” — Michael Heskett, Houston Chronicle

      “In the extraordinary figure of Godric, both stubborn outsider and true child of God, both worldly and unworldly, Frederick Buechner has found an ideal means of exploring the nature of spirituality. Godric is a living battleground where God fights it out with the world, the Flesh, and the Devil.” — London Times Literary Supplement

The latter twentieth century was dominated by two global forces, the United States and the Soviet Union and the rebellion against imperialism in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. While these forces pulled the world apart, other forces had the opposite effect. Thus, Kantowicz predicts, “groups of nations will probably continue coming together in new and unexpected ways.”

      Intimacy has multiple meanings for preaching. It affirms the crucial role the messenger has in the message. It is the quality that helps to establish a relationship between the hearer and the speaker. It is a “holistic” approach to preaching.

      Designed to help both the student and the practicing minister communicate more effectively, Preaching and Intimacy begins with the preacher as a person and moves through the components that are essential to preaching. Attention is given to a minister’s relationship with God, his/her feelings about himself/herself, how to imaginatively engage a biblical text, how to think of the listeners, and then how to address and deliver a sermon. Emphasis is put on the preacher’s investment in the sermon so that when it is spoken, it is authentic and real.

      Additional Info
      Throughout the struggles of life and in times of great love and joy, many people are affected emotionally by music. The Bible and popular music are the subjects of this book, which tries to make sense out of life’s complexities–work, relationships, family, politics, and religion–through the contemporary music of today.

      Music touches us at our deepest emotional level. It comforts our sorrows, reminds us of old memories and specific times in the past, and makes us smile or cry. As humans, we encounter numerous temptations, go through many dark experiences, and want answers to life’s dilemmas. Currie describes these experiences as “deserts”–places and times when we feel alone, scared, and hopeless. He then offers his thoughts and experiences through music as a companion and comfort in our time of need.
