Why Left Behind Should Be Left Behind
$19.36The Left Behind books have swept across the Christian world. But is the message they contain about the end of the world true to the teaching of the Bible? Many Christians believe that it is not. Why Left Behind Should Be Left Behind puts Left Behind beliefs under the biblical microscope and discovers that they distort the true Christian message. It also presents an alternative theology of the End Times that is biblical and rational, in a simple but not simplistic style. It will help you understand this important subject. Comments about the earlier edition: “It is extremely readable and lucid, making sense of a very difficult subject” (Carolyn Owen, Editor). “There is no sensationalism here, just careful exegesis of relevant Bible passages” (New Life). “It is an excellent introduction to the whole subject of the end times” (Evangelical Action).

Eternity : To Be Or Not To Be
$26.23This essay is addressed to both children and adults, for neither heaven nor hell discriminates against either. From childhood to old age, one is held accountable for one’s actions. The TEN COMMANDMENTS herein displayed were further amplified (adjutants featured) to score the extreme importance of GOD’S desire for US, HIS CHILDREN, to walk in HIS ways. A burden hereby rests on parents to align their children right while they are still malleable. Our imminent desire is to empty hell and delight to see heaven overflowing with GOD’S children. Only then shall we have the last laugh at our enemy, the devil.

Disruptive Grace
$38.99Among the studies of Karl Barth’s thought, no other work covers, as this one does, the areas of political, doctrinal, and ecumenical theology in single compass. Written by a leading Barth scholar, Disruptive Grace is unique not only for its range of study, depth of insight, and accuracy of presentation, but also for the way it displays the heart as well as the mind of the great Swiss pastor and theologian.
Each of the book’s three main sections consists of five major essays. Part 1 relates Barth to contemporary issues of social justice, war, and peace. Part 2 covers christology, pneumatology, the Trinity, scriptural interpretation, and the question of universal salvation. Part 3 discusses the Reformed tradition as Barth understood it in relation to Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, modern liberalism, evangelical conservatism, and the postliberal theology of the contemporary Yale school. The book concludes with a meditation on the saving significance of Christ’s death, a theme that runs throughout the book.
The result of more than twenty-five years of intensive Barth research, this volume provides scholars, teachers, and students with a thorough discussion of the twentieth century’s most significant Christian thinker.

“They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha. . . . And they crucified him. . . . Some women were watching from a distance.” (Mark 15:22, 24, 40).At the climax of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus of Nazareth is put to death on a Roman cross. The text tells us that, in that lonely hour, a group of women were watching the crucifixion “from a distance.” In a sense, they are given a stance toward the cross that we can share.
In this exploration of Mark’s Gospel, Peter G. Bolt looks at why the cross is so prominent in the narrative, asks what contribution Mark’s teaching can make to our understanding of the atonement, and shows how this teaching can inform, correct and enrich our own preaching of the gospel in the contemporary world. This New Studies in Biblical Theogy volume helps us to stand in wonder before the God who has come close to us in the cross of Jesus Christ and to live in hope for the better things to come.
Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

3 Views On Eastern Orthodoxy And Evangelicalism
$22.99To some Western evangelicals, the practices of Eastern Orthodoxy seem mysterious and perhaps even unbiblical. Then again, from an Orthodox perspective, evangelicals lack the spiritual roots provided by centuries-old church traditions. Are the differences between these two branches of Christianity so sharp that to shake hands is to compromise the gospel itself? Or is there room for agreement? Are Eastern Orthodoxy and evangelicalism at all compatible?
Yes, no, maybe-this book allows five leading authorities to present their different views, have them critiqued by their fellow authors, and respond to the critiques. Writing from an Orthodox perspective with a strong appreciation for evangelicalism, Bradley Nassif makes a case for compatibility. Michael Horton and Vladimir Berzonsky take the opposite stance from their respective evangelical and Orthodox backgrounds. And George Hancock-Stefan (evangelical) and Edward Rommen (Orthodox) each offer a qualified “perhaps.”The interactive Counterpoints forum is ideal for comparing and contrasting the different positions to understand the strengths and weaknesses of these two important branches of Christianity and to form a personal conclusion regarding their compatibility.
The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Exploring Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints

Dear Diotrephes : Whats Our Position
$27.48These letters were written to various friends, critics, and inquisitors who were trying to learn our position on the prevailing issues in the Church of Christ. Asking for help was enough to uncover other issues. Everyone felt compelled to “take a stand” on every issue. I was searching for help due to my failing eyesight and a concern for my wife and six children. When I asked whether James 5:14 had really “passed away,” as they said, where could I go for help? I learned that hardly any of them believed the Bible. They just said they did. I was told that there were 27 branches of us. The introduction of the healing question doubled the number, so we had 54. The Holy Spirit question caused further division, so we had 108 sects. Speaking in tongues, professional clergy, and fellowship issues made 216 socioreligious sects. Voila! How is that for growth?

Israel And The Church
$33.99Modern Israel and its relations with its Arab neighbors has been conspicuously in the daily news ever since World War II. Until that time, the concept of Israel and a continuing Jewish people had been hovering in the distant background of Christian thought and doctrine since the post-apostolic era. In this important work, Dr. Diprose demonstrates the uniqueness of Israel and its special place in the divine plan.
By carefully reviewing relevant New Testament and post-apostolic writings, the author traces the origin and development of Replacement Theology-the concept that the Church has completely and permanently replaced ethnic Israel in the outworking of God’s plan throughout history-challenging its origin and role in the development of Christian thought on the future of ethnic Israel.

Reclaiming The Center
$25.00In Reclaiming the Center Millard J. Erickson, Paul Kjoss Helseth, and Justin Taylor have assembled a team of theologians and philosophers to examine the theological, philosophical, and historiographic assumptions of postconservatism evangelicalism. They argue that postconservatism is an innovative project fueled by an accommodation to postmodernism, and that there is a more theologically sound, philosophically informed, and historically accurate way to proceed.
Reclaiming the Center is a valuable contribution to any pastor or student’s study of where contemporary evangelicalism stands today, but also a guide for how we can move forward with wisdom and discernment while not succumbing to the spirit of this age.

Christian Faith And The Problem Of Evil Print On Demand Title
$38.99A Print on Demand Title
The problem of evil has challenged religious minds and hearts throughout the ages. Just how can the presence of suffering, tragedy, and wrongdoing be squared with the all-powerful, all-loving God of faith? This book gathers some of the best, most meaningful recent reflections on the problem of evil, with contributions by shrewd thinkers in the areas of philosophy, theology, literature, linguistics, and sociology.
In addition to bringing new insights to the old problem of evil, Christian Faith and the Problem of Evil is set apart from similar volumes by the often-novel approaches its authors take to the subject. Many of the essays pursue classic lines in speculative philosophy, but others address the problem of evil through biblical criticism, the thought of Simone Weil, and the faith of battered women and African American slaves. As a result, this book will interest a wide range of readers.

Teaching As Believing
$58.31The public university classroom is a place where socialization still occurs: it’s where students learn to be citizens of the world. Having attended to political correctness and multi-culturalism, universities are now facing the issue of spirituality in their quest to educate the whole person. In this book, Chris Anderson takes up this task by carefully exploring how a professor of faith can help a public university accomplish its pluralistic mission. Anderson illustrates how the study of secular literature throws fresh light on the ways in which the Bible can be read. He also deftly shows how a sympathetic study of the Bible trains secular readers for understanding the abiding significance of the Western literary canon as a kind of scripture. Anderson thus gives readers a book that is as much about the experience of a faithful teacher and the proper ends of education as it is about discovering the right ways to read texts-be they sacred or secular.

Kingdom Of Christ
$25.00Never before has there been a thorough examination of the new “Kingdom” consensus among evangelicals on many former theological points of contention and its effects. In The Kingdom of Christ: The New Evangelical Perspective, Russell D. Moore relates the history leading up to this consensus from the time theologian Carl F. H. Henry called for it fifty years ago. He then examines how this consensus offers a renewed theological foundation for evangelical engagement in the social and political realms.
While evangelical scholars and pastors will be interested in this sharp, insightful book, evangelicals involved in public policy will also find it useful in discovering how this new evangelical Kingdom perspective will play out in the public square.

Church Secrets : Reform Restoration Revival For The 21st Century
$20.61Why all the competing Christian Denominations? Where’s the unity in the Body of Christ? Why are there so many opinions on Scripture? Why do the Catholics do that? Why do the Protestants do that? The “Church” Secrets answers these nagging questions and many more by examining “Church” traditions compared to God’s Word. The root of the confusion begins with the word “Church” itself. The prideful secrets of men are exposed to identify the gradual drift Christianity has taken away from God’s Word. This book offers an interactive, in-depth study of God’s Word that is geared toward both the young and old in Christ. Traditions run deep and are powerful. Questioning one’s traditions can expose one’s pride; humility, however, is found in Christ dying on the Cross for us. With that realized, our own pride should mean nothing. If you desire a deeper understanding of God’s plans for His Body, and want to live by His Spirit in truth, this is the book for you.

Exploring And Proclaiming The Apostles Creed
$31.99Foreword by Geoffrey Wainwright
Doctrinal preaching has fallen on hard times in recent years. Exploring and Proclaiming the Apostles’ Creed seeks to stimulate renewed interest in – and provide useful models of – Christian proclamation that is truly rooted in the central tenets of the faith. Using the Apostles’ Creed as a template for doctrinal, confessional preaching, this book draws together an ecumenical cast of respected biblical scholars and preachers who explain the creed and demonstrate its preaching possibilities. Each of the book’s fifteen chapters consists of an essay that explores and illuminates one of the creed’s articles of faith, followed by a scintillating sermon that models how that article can be preached as good news today.

Spirit And Resistance
$36.66Writing from a Native American perspective, theologian George Tinker probes American Indian culture, its vast religious and cultural legacy, and its ambiguous relationship to the tradition–historic Christianity–that colonized and converted it. After five hundred years of conquest and social destruction, he says, any useful reflection must come to terms with the political state of Indian affairs and the political hopes and visions for recovering the health and well-being of Indian communities. Does Christian theology have a positive role to play? Tinker’s work offers an overview of contemporary native American culture and its perilous state. Critical of recent liberal and New Age co-opting of Native spiritual practices, Tinker also offers a critical corrective to liberation theology. He shows how Native insights into the Sacred Other and sacred space helpfully reconfigure traditional ideas of God, Jesus’ notion of the reign of God, and our relation to the earth. From this basis he offers novel proposals about cultural survival and identity, sustainability, and the endangered health of Native Americans.

For All The Saints
$16.95“We have been drifting into a muddle and a mess, putting together bits and pieces of traditions, ideas and practices in the hope that they will make sense. They don’t. There may be times when a typical Anglican fudge is a pleasant, chewy sort of thing, but this isn’t one of them. It’s time to think and speak clearly and act decisively.”
With these robust words Tom Wright, Bishop of Durham, throws down a challenge to current liturgy and practice surrounding All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days, and sets out to clarify our thinking about what happens to people after they die. Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, what it means to pray for the dead, what (and who) are the saints, are all addressed in this invigorating and rigorously argued book.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Beyond The Passion
$40.00For most Christian believers, what is truly remarkable and important about Jesus is not his life, but his resurrection from the dead. They may believe that Jesus’ death is significant not as the end of Jesus’ life, but as the first half of the saving event that comprises the Christian gospel: the death and resurrection of Jesus. For Christians, this great divine cosmic event, around which all of human history pivots, is what saves us from our sins. Apart from this, the death of Jesus would simply be the meaningless end to an interesting but insignificant life. In this lively and provocative work, Patterson reconstructs early Christian assessments of Jesus’ significance and also questions basic assumptions about modern interpretations of Jesus’ death. He emphasizes the importance of Jesus’ life in relation to his death and resurrection. And he challenges individualistic notions of how Jesus’ death relates to Christian ethics.

Repentance 1 : The Doctrine Of God And The Knowledge Of Salvation
$34.98This work is written with a law enforcement officer’s investigative mindset and from the perspective of a prisoner. I discovered through a survey of Christian bookstores that no books were exclusively on or about repentance, but most only touched on the topic. The only author who had anything to say about repentance beyond a mere mention was Charles G. Finney in Finney’s Systematic Theology. This 600-page work transformed my thinking and influenced my investigation. This book discusses spiritual leadership without bashing any spiritual leader. It points out carnality without castigating any particular ministry or denomination. Hundreds of illustrations will familiarize the reader with revelations about repentance and carnality. These illustrations, like parables, contain revolutionary truths that are true to Scripture, reason, and life, so that Repentance: The Doctrine of God may become one harmonious revelation! Warning: As you read this book, you will encounter deep-seated carnality residing within the blackened depths of your soul, and it will not want to be exposed! But take heart-Almighty God will accompany you on this journey for the complete regeneration of your soul.

Spirit In The Cities
$30.00In recent decades economic dislocation, immigration, new architecture, and other forces have transformed the physical, social, and even religious landscape of large cities. There gleaming skyscrapers tower over struggling ghettos, abandoned businesses mar upscale shopping areas, and tall-steeple churches sometimes languish where storefront mosques thrive. Exploring the religious significance of this new urban landscape, the Workgroup on Constructive Theology traveled to select cities and found an exciting and vibrant and multivoiced new religious spirit at work there. In these chapters, leading American theologians delve deeply into the contemporary spiritual geographies of five cities, capturing, through a mix of personal narrative, historical narrative, political analysis, and theological rumination, some sense of this new sacred space and the spirit aborning there.

This well-written account of the impacts of media saturation, the relativization of religious authority, and the rapid global emergence of varieties of spiritual orientations and practices, is the first of its kind. Schweitzer’s knowledge of practices of faith and his mastery of the available research literature on posmodern conditions make this work indispensable for religious leaders, students of postmodernity, and a broad reading public.

From Hurt To Healing
$24.99At any gathering, you will likely see both abusers and victims. In Christian theology, we have approached these two very different types of people with a single solution. Having drawn a map of salvation for sinners, we ignore the victims, making it their responsibility to find their way back to peace. Park argues it is time for the church and its theology to remedy this situation by using an Asian religious concept called han–the psychic and spiritual pain caused by unjust oppression–as a way of healing the wounds of abuse and violence.

In The Beginning Creativity
$45.00Gordon Kaufman’s bold and highly regarded works over the last thirty years have pushed theologians to examine honestly, if painfully, their most cherished assumptions about God. Now, in this major contribution to the theology-and-science debate, he argues that our traditional thinking about and worship of God have prepared us badly for perhaps the most important problem we face today–the ecological crisis.
Kaufman begins with a survey of the pluriform development and effects of the notion of God. He then demonstrates how these concepts of God have become out of sync with contemporary understandings of the world and humanity. He offers an alternative concept by distinguishing the different modalities of creativity as they figure in the creation of the universe, the cosmic evolutionary process (especially the emergence of life), and human symbolic creativity. Finally, he sketches their interconnections and demonstrates in what way they stand for the divine. This volume not only develops further than ever before Kaufman’s idea of God as creativity but also shows what it would mean to think of God in this way, to live with faith in this God, and to cooperate with the divine in meeting our most pressing challenges.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

True Sexual Morality
$40.00Daniel Heimbach examines the meaning and structure of the moral standards given by God to govern sexual behavior and celebrates the preciousness and goodness of sexuality governed by God. He also explains and critiques four opposing views on sexual morality that are deceiving so many into thinking that biblical standards are oppressive.
With a look to the future of mankind’s sexual morality, Heimbach examines what Jesus and many New Testament writers say will happen if we continue down our current path. This book will awaken and equip Christian workers, pastors, parents, and young adults to be alert and faithful in a culture that is growing ever more bitterly opposed to biblical sexual standards.

Yet You Would Not Return To Me
$21.86The Minor Prophets wrote extensively about the role of God in national calamity in regards to chastisement. Little has been written, however, to help pastors struggle with this difficult and unpopular subject in their preaching. This work is a study focused on formulating preaching guidelines to be used when interacting with natural or national crises, using the Minor Prophets as models. The book is concerned with the questions raised by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the Evangelical response. Prior to 9/11, many Evangelical pastors and spokespersons decried the sins of America and warned of possible and even deserved judgment. When the national crisis of 9/11 occurred, however, which seems to parallel the circumstances that God used to gain the attention of an errant nation in the Bible, many Evangelicals either were silent concerning judgment or vigorously promoted patriotism and “just-war” retaliation against perceived enemies. A primary premise of the work is that there is a misunderstanding or denial of the possible chastising role of God upon the USA on 9/11.

Evangelicals And Scripture
$33.99By definition, a high view of Scripture inheres in evangelicalism. However, there does not seem to be a uniform way to articulate an evangelical doctrine of Scripture.
Taking up the challenge, Vincent E. Bacote, Laura C. Miguilez and Dennis L. Okholm present twelve essays that explore in depth the meaning of an evangelical doctrine of Scripture that takes seriously both the human and divine dimensions of the Bible. The essays, selected from the presentations made at the 2002 Wheaton Theology Conference, approach this vital subject from three directions. Stan Grenz, Bruce McCormack and Donald Dayton consider the history of evangelical thinking on the nature of Scripture. John Brogan, Kent Sparks, J. Daniel Hays and Richard Schultz address the nature of biblical authority. Finally, Bruce Benson, John Franke, Daniel Treier and David Alan Williams explore the challenge of hermeneutics, especially as it relates to interpreting Scripture in a postmodern context.
Together these essays provide a window into current evangelical scholarship on the doctrine of Scripture and also advance the dialogue about how best to construe our faith in the Word of God, living and written, that informs not only the belief but also the practice of the church.

Mary Mother Of God
$21.99Since the Council of Ephesus (A.D. 431), orthodox Christianity has confessed Mary as Theotokos, “Mother of God.” Yet neither this title nor Mary’s significance has fared well in Protestant Christianity. In the wake of new interest in Mary following Vatican II and recent ecumenical dialogues, this volume seeks to makes clear that Mariology is properly related to Christ and his church in ways that can and should be meaningful for all Christians.
Written with insight and sensitivity by Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant scholars, these seven studies inquire into Mary’s place in the story of salvation, in personal devotion, and in public worship.

Comforter
$43.99Sergius Bulgakov is widely considered to be the twentieth century’s foremost Orthodox theologian, and his book The Comforter is an utterly comprehensive and profound study of the Holy Spirit.

The book has sections on the development of the doctrine of the Spirit in early Christianity and on the development of the doctrine of procession in the patristic and later Byzantine periods. It also touches on the place of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity and explores Old and New Testament notions of the Spirit of God. A concluding chapter deals with the mystical revelation of the Holy Spirit. Made available in English through the work of Boris Jakim, today’s premier translator of Russian theology and philosophy into English, Bulgakov’s Comforter in this edition is a major publishing event.
