What if the most common modern interpretations of some of the Bible’s most debated passages were deliberately crafted—not by early Christians, but by those who opposed them? In The Battle for the Bible’s Truth, Douglas Van Dorn uncovers a forgotten second-century campaign that reshaped how key Old Testament texts were read—and how they are still read today. Genesis 6:1–4, Deuteronomy 32:8, Psalm 82, and related passages once carried a clear supernatural meaning shared by Jews and the earliest Christians alike: heavenly “sons of God,” a divine council, and a coming divine Son ...

In the early books of the Old Testament, the mysterious "Angel of the Lord" repeatedly appears—visibly, audibly, even physically—to the Patriarchs, to Moses, to the Prophets. Who is this Angel? Exploring the biblical texts, the testimony of church history, and the insights of Systematic Theology, Matt Foreman and Doug Van Dorn argue that the answer is beyond doubt: the Angel of the Lord is a manifestation of God the Son. Even more, they argue that this Angel appears more often than people realize, because he appears under different titles, including: the Word, the Name, the Glory, the ...

Law school was never Anna Dorn's dream. But it's not the worst thing that can happen to a person; as Dorn says, law school was pretty "cushy" and mostly entailed wearing leggings every day to her classes at Berkeley and playing beer pong with her friends at night. After graduation, however, Dorn realized that there was nothing sexy about being a lawyer. Between the unflattering suits, sucking up to old men, and spending her days sequestered in a soul-sucking cubicle, Dorn quickly learned that being a lawyer wasn't everything Hollywood made it out to be.

For over twenty years, pastor and author Douglas Van Dorn avoided preaching 1 Corinthians—its conundrums, factionalism, and bizarre debates made it feel inexplicable. Then a single verse in Acts (18:18) began to change all that: Paul cuts his hair right after leaving Corinth, where he had worn it long during his entire ministry there. This glaring contradiction with 1 Cor 11:14 (“long hair… a disgrace”) cracked open the passage. In Razing Hair, Van Dorn argues that Paul is not delivering transcendent rules about head coverings, hair length, or gender hierarchy. Those are issues of "...

Genesis 1-3: Creation (Book 1 of the Invisible Touch Series) is adapted from sixteen sermons preached at the Reformed Baptist Church of Northern Colorado. This is the first volume in a multi-part series on Genesis. Douglas Van Dorn invites readers to approach the opening chapters of the Bible with fresh humility and awe. Genesis 1–3 is far more than an ancient origin account or a battleground for science debates. It is a breathtaking temple liturgy, a supernatural declaration of Yahweh’s unchallenged kingship over creation, and the opening act of redemptive history. Through careful ...
