Adam And The Woman
$19.36God began with one divine man and woman in Genesis, Adam and Eve, who were holy and without sin. In the Gospels, God restored all through one divine Man. Revelation will end with one divine Man, Jesus, and His divine Bride, just as the Bible began with the first man and woman. At the wedding of the first Adam, God presented the woman to Adam without spot or blemish. God will present Jesus with His Bride without spot or blemish also when Jesus comes to gather her to Himself.

Solomon Among The Postmoderns (Reprinted)
$31.251. Vapor’s Revenge
2. The Elusive Word
3. The Decentered Self
4. Power Is With The Oppressor
5. Eat, Drink, RejoiceAdditional Info
Solomon’s words from a famous passage of Ecclesiastes have been translated, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” But in Solomon among the Postmoderns, author Peter Leithart says those words are better translated as “Vapor of vapors, all is vapor,” emphasizing that human life is fleeting. Leithart uses this theme, as well as the entire book of Ecclesiastes, to indicate how Solomon resonated with postmodernism.Exploring the strengths and limits of postmodernism, he displays how the theory reflects an important biblical theme: the elusiveness and instability of the world. But he goes on to show that biblical faith takes us beyond cynicism and despair, exploring Solomon’s frequent call to “eat, drink, and rejoice.”
A skilled theologian and widely published author, Leithart writes for audiences including professors and students of philosophy, apologetics, biblical studies, and theology, as well as laypeople seeking a biblical view of postmodernism. Those familiar and unfamiliar with postmodernism will learn from the book’s forthright exegetical approach, which is unique among the many books about postmodernism available today.

Ways Of Judgment
$35.99In this probing book Oliver O’Donovan extends the exploration into the correspondence between theology and politics that he began in The Desire of the Nations. While that earlier work took as its starting point the biblical proclamation of God’s authority, The Ways of Judgment approaches political theology from the political side. Responsive to developments such as the uncertain role of the United Nations after the Cold War and the expansion of the European Union, O’Donovan also draws on the extensive tradition of Christian political thought and a range of contemporary theologians. Rather than supposing, as does some political theology, that the right political orientations are well understood and that theological beliefs should be renegotiated to fit them, O’Donovan considers contemporary social and political realities to be impenetrably obscure and elusive. Finding the gospel proclamation luminous by contrast, O’Donovan sheds light from the Christian faith upon the intricate challenge of seeking the good in late-modern Western society. Pursuing his analysis in three movements, O’Donovan first considers the paradigmatic political act, the act of judgment, and then takes up the question of forming political institutions through representation. Finally, he tackles the opposition between political institutions and the church, provocatively investigating how Christians can be the community instructed by Jesus to “judge not.”

Lamb Of God
$43.99What is our participation in the divine humanity? According to Bulgakov, humans “consist of an uncreated, divine spirit . . . and of a created soul and body.” Prior to Christ’s coming, humans do not have the power to realize in themselves the new spiritual birth that is not of flesh and blood, but of God. In explaining this important doctrine, Bulgakov begins by surveying the field of Christology with special reference to the divine humanity. He then considers the role of the Divine Sophia, examines the foundations of the Incarnation, explores the nature of Christ’s divine consciousness, and ponders Christ’s ministries while on Earth. A profound discussion of Christ’s kenosis as a model for humanity rounds out this comprehensive and valuable study. The Lamb of God is one of the greatest works of Christology in the twentieth century and a crowning achievement in the examination of the theology of divine humanity.

Pierced For Our Transgressions
$29.00The belief that Jesus died for us, suffering the wrath of his own Father in our place, has been the wellspring of hope for countless Christians through the ages. However, with an increasing number of theologians, church leaders, and even popular Christian books and magazines questioning this doctrine, which naysayers have described as a form of “cosmic child abuse,” a fresh articulation and affirmation of penal substitution is needed. And Jeffery, Ovey, and Sach have responded here with clear exposition and analysis.
They make the case not only that the doctrine is clearly taught in Scripture, but that it has an impeccable pedigree and a central place in Christian theology, and that its neglect has serious consequences. The authors also systematically analyze over twenty specific objections that have been brought against penal substitution and charitably but firmly offer a defining declaration of the doctrine of the cross for any concerned reader.

Agnostic Inquirer : Revelation From A Philosophical Standpoint
$39.99Is there a good God? And if there is, has that God revealed anything of significance to us? Philosophers pondering these two questions have automatically assumed that the first must be answered before the second. But Sandra Menssen and Thomas Sullivan argue philosophically — that is, without reliance on divine revelation — that unless the content of revelatory claims has been considered, it is a mistake to deny the existence of God.
The Agnostic Inquirer presents a clear, analytical argument that without reflection on the content of revelatory claims, atheists and agnostics are missing a large part of the relevant database for establishing the existence of God, and many theists are working with an impoverished database in trying to explain the foundations of their faith.

Liberty : Rethinking An Imperiled Ideal
$39.99Liberty is a dangerous concept. It’s sure to be misused and, if left unchecked, will likely bring not social harmony and happiness but their opposites. Nonetheless, liberty is absolutely necessary: without it there can be no authentic community. People are not free to do the right thing unless they are free to do the wrong thing; if they can’t be wrong, they can’t be right.
Thus does Glenn Tinder, in this provocative work, argue emphatically for “negative liberty” — the liberty that wants primarily to be left alone, with the authorities interfering as little as possible in the lives of people — and against “positive liberty” — a liberty that seeks to guide people into a “fulfilling” life.
One of America’s major thinkers on Civic life, Tinder approaches the ideal of liberty with a blend of pervasive pessimism and strong optimism. He writes from an open, nondogmatic Christian point of view, believing strongly in reason and in the primary importance of free communication and dialogue, and he insists that Christians can learn from such non-Christians as Nietzsche, Freud, and Marx.
The substance of Tinder’s book lies at the intersection of several major themes — communication, human fallenness, the necessity of liberty, standing alone, and eschatology — each considered in light of learning what liberty truly is and how it will affect the world at large.

Like his Puritan colleagues, Sedgwick was a wise observer of providence. In “Providence Handled Practically,” he shows how the over ruling hand of God should be considered as it comes to bear on the life of the Christian and the church. After briefly explaining the words of Matthew 10:29-31, he distinguishes between God’s general and special providence. Then follows an extensive discussion of the practical use of this doctrine. The author’s Thanksgiving sermon, entitled “Haman’s Vanity,” which was preached before the House of Commons is added as an appendix to this work. Here, Sedgwick draws a parallel between Haman’s plot to decimate the Jews and a Royalist plot that was hatched in London to seize the Parliamentary leaders.This edition has been edited for modern readers and has an introductory essay by Joel R. Beeke and Matthew Winzer.
Read it, pass it along to a friend, and be comforted by the God who promises to never forsake the works of His own hands.

Christian Natural Theology (Reprinted)
$36.00In the second edition of A Christian Natural Theology, John Cobb offers substantive changes at key points on which his current views are clearly different from those reflected earlier. When the first edition appeared in 1965, it was a groundbreaking work that incorporated Alfred North Whitehead’s metaphysical philosophy as a framework for developing a Christian natural theology. The work was so significant it helped to launch process theology as a leading alternative to neo-orthodox theology and has since become a classic in the literature of process theology. This new edition by one of America’s preeminent theologians is an essential work for all those studying process theology.

Faith Undone : The Emerging Church A New Reformation Or An End Time Decepti
$17.58Proponents of the emerging church say it is not a church at all-it’s only a dialogue or conversation. Some say the emerging church is about reinventing Christianity for the 21st century. So what does that mean? Is it possible for Christianity to be reinvented and still be Christianity? Faith Undone answers these questions and shows how this movement is opening the doors for apostasy and deception within Christendom through mysticism, interspirituality and a denial of the very gospel message itself. Some of the issues Faith
Undone addresses:
* Contemplative spirituality and mysticism: The “life” of the emerging church
* The new missiology of the emerging church: “You can keep your own religion; just add Jesus to the equation.”
* Eucharistic evangelization and the road to Rome
* An Emergent View on the Future of Planet Earth
* Purpose Driven Ecumenism: Part of the emerging church’s new reformation

Person Grace And God
$31.99It is nearly impossible to do theology without some understanding of the concept of person. What one believes about the person influences virtually every significant Christian doctrine. In Person, Grace and God, Phillip Rolnick details and clarifies this key theological concept in the face of challenges from biology, post-modernity and anthropology. He begins by tracing the history and linguistic background of the concept, and then engages evolutionary biology in a heated dialogue on the place of love. He next turns to postmodernity, beginning with the challenges to the concept of the person by Nietszche, Lyotard, Derrida, Rorty and Taylor, fairly answering each in turn. Finally, Rolnick develops his own constructive proposals, first presenting grace as an integral element in the immanent Trinity, then considering “The Human Person” in the framework of relations to God. Addressing both philosophical and scientific conceptions of the person, Person, Grace, and God makes a compelling case for the importance of the person, grounded in creation and the trinity.

There’s a different kind of church conversation going on these days–one that moves beyond just focusing on purpose, strategies, or recovering early church practices. Craig Van Gelder argues that understanding the nature of the church is foundational for clarifying the purpose of the church and for developing and organizing its ministry.
Moving beyond methods and techniques to create or sustain church growth, Van Gelder shows that when a church is focused on Spirit-led ministry, growth and development are the natural outcome.The Ministry of the Missional Church brings together theology and organizational theory in a way that inspires biblical and theological imagination about how to let the church be the church–a Spirit-led, missional community that seeks to participate fully in God’s mission in its particular place in the world.

Paradox In Christian Theology
$49.99How can Jesus be fully human and fully divine? How can God be three-in-one? James Anderson develops and defends a model of understanding paradoxical Christian doctrines according to which the presence of such doctrines is unsurprising and adherence to paradoxical doctrines can be entirely reasonable. As such, the phenomenon of theological paradox cannot be considered as a serious intellectual obstacle to belief in Christianity. The case presented in this book has significant implications for the practice of systematic theology, biblical exegesis, Christian apologetics, and philosophy.

Communion In The Spirit
$43.73This study explores the central connection Edwards drew between his doctrines of religious experience and the Trinity: the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Edwards envisioned the Spirit’s inter-Trinitarian work as the affectionate bond of union between the Father and the Son, a work which, he argued, is reduplicated in a finite way in the work of redemption. Salvation is ultimately all about being drawn in love into the Trinitarian life of the Godhead.

English Hypothetical Universalism
$41.99The last two decades have seen nothing short of a renaissance of interest in the theological world of the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is against this background of nuanced studies of the period that Jonathan Moore’s outstanding monograph is to be understood. Where Muller and Milton have laid out their detailed arguments on a broad canvas, Moore has focused in detail on the particular individual John Preston as a means of exploring issues surrounding the development of English Reformed Orthodoxy during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. The results are significant contributions to a number of debates in the current historiography. This book should be required reading not just for the scholar, but to any who have an active interest in the Reformed tradition, not as a blueprint for restoring “the old paths,’ but as an example of how one great Puritan pastor wrestled with the interface of theology and practice.

God Of Nature
$40.00Although Christians have professed the God of Israel, they have often assumed a naturalistic theism that harks back to the Greeks. Doing so, says Christopher Knight, has masked the explanatory potential of a basic Christian affirmation: the incarnation.
Knight here forges a third way of thinking about divine engagement with the world, beyond deism and theism. He sees God’s intimate involvement with creation and history as implied in the reality of the incarnation and essentially confirming divine purpose in a kind of sacramental character to all events as they unfold in the world. On this basis, he brings fresh insight to the questions of providence, miracles, personal prayer, the virgin birth, and the ascension of Jesus.
Knight’s work promises not to displace science, nor to plead for special exceptions on special occasions, but to see God as always active in the very warp and woof of the universe and its laws.

Controversies In Feminist Theology
$35.99Controversies in Feminist Theologies is a clear and accessible analysis of the current controversies within feminist theologies. It uses many of the themes of systematic theology to examine whether feminist theology has a future or whether its discourse and praxis has become bankrupt. The authors expand this question through an examination of whether the whole project of systematic theology has become outmoded.
The book is the first to expose the myth of homogeneity and some of the common stereotypes and myths surrounding Feminist Theologies, from a methodological and thematic perspective. It addresses current stereotypes built around North Atlantic and Third World feminist theology, including issues concerning Mariology, the use of the Bible and the centrality of women’s experiences in feminist praxis, while highlighting the richness of different and at times opposite positions in the debates of theology, gender and sexuality.

Incarnation And Resurrection

Fair, comprehensive and balanced, his analysis, following Torrance, highlights the intrinsic connection between these two doctrines and details the necessity of resurrection as the beginning, rather than the end, of Christology.

History And Politics Of Latin American Theology 1
$45.00This work explores the contribution of major Latin American theologians to the intellectual and pastoral discussion of Christian involvement in contemporary politics. Aguilar argues that within the Latin American context there has been a rediscovery of a fluid, dualistic, and sometimes contradictory relation between the practice of religion and the practice of politics. Christians in the Latin American context were forced to respond to a general crisis in politics, whereby their own beliefs, ritual practices, and way of life was pushed to the limit by human rights violations and absolutist forms of government. The Christian response was a confrontation against the state as was the case of Chile, or a dissenting silence, as was the case of Argentina. However, the historical relations between Church and state, Christian communities and secular powers, were inscribed in literary texts in Latin America. These texts expressed an archaeology of historical and theological memory.
Section 1 examines religion and politics within the ecclesial framework provided by Gustavo Gutierrez, Jon Sobrino, and Ronaldo Muoz. Section 2 explores the challenges to those authors by focusing on a more political critique of Christianity and society provided by Pablo Richard, Ernesto Cardenal, and Oscar Romero and section 3 examines challenges to the previous six authors by discussing religion and politics within the context of ecological theology, the feminist critique to biblical studies, and discussions on culture and the Gospel today in Leonardo Boff, Elsa Tamez, and Diego Irarrazaval.

There Is More To The Secret
$16.99The Law of Attraction contends that one can have any health, wealth or relationship desired if the mind is trained to put out continual thoughts to attract it into one’s life. Although there is some truth to the fact that we tend to become what we think (the apostle Paul taught us that), the new-age representation of “individual as God” is a dangerous contention. In this companion book to the current media storm, Ed Gungor seeks to establish a more complete and accurate representation of the power of the mind by explaining the obvious role that the Almighty God plays in our lives with the power of the Gospel. This book is not written to attack recent publications but rather to correct their misguided advice while still speaking to the felt need that is causing millions to explore their pages.
