Written to help listeners better understand Jesus's life, death, and ultimate mission, this new book by well-known preacher John MacArthur looks at an important - yet often misunderstood - section of the Bible: Isaiah 53. Often hailed as one of the greatest chapters in the Bible, this passage foretells the crucifixion of Jesus, a critical event in God's ultimate plan for salvation. Explaining the prophetic words of Isaiah 53 verse by verse, MacArthur highlights important connections to the history of Israel and to the New Testament.

The doctrine of reprobation—that is, the eternal, unconditional decree of God for the non-elect—is frequently misconstrued in both pastoral and theological literature. In Reprobation and God's Sovereignty, Peter Sammons reintroduces this oft-misunderstood doctrine, revealing its relationship to divine sovereignty. With Romans 9 as a guiding text, Sammons presents a thoroughly researched defense of reprobation as an essential part in a Reformed theology that magnifies God and encourages believers to trust in him.

Pilgrim Theology is a map for Christians seeking to better understand the core beliefs of their faith. Even though it's the study of God, theology has a reputation for being dry, abstract, and irrelevant for daily living. But theology is a matter of life and death. It affects the way you think...

SUMMARY OF THE BOOK The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ: A Biblical Examination is a doctrinal and devotional exploration demonstrating through Scripture that Jesus Christ is truly and eternally God. Its central aim is to answer Jesus’ question, “But whom say ye that I am?” by showing from Genesis to Revelation that the Man of Nazareth is the Almighty God incarnate . The book begins by presenting God’s eternal nature - His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, and connects these attributes directly to Christ, who declares Himself the “I AM” and “the Word” who existed ...

This book (Approx. 154,172 words in length -- 113 Chapters) contains many of my book titles on the subject of Holy Bible doctrines from a fundamental Christian faith perspective. While some chapters include aspects of what some Christians refer to as "Pentecostal" or "charismatic" beliefs, due to mentions of miraculous events and of the supernatural "gifts of the Spirit" as described in the New Testament, the majority of Bible teachings included, are beliefs held by a majority of fundamental Christian believers but with aspects included that you do not often hear coming from the pulpits of ...

Doctrine is the word Christians use to define the truth-claims revealed in Holy Scripture. Of course, there is a multitude of churches, church networks, and denominations, each with their own doctrinal statement with many points of disagreement. But while Christians disagree on a number of doctrines, there are key elements that cannot be denied by anyone claiming to be a follower of Jesus.

According to the Bible, the stakes could not be greater, Heaven or Hell. Jesus stated, in Matthew 7:13-14, that the gate to Hell is wide, but the gate to Heaven is narrow and the way to Heaven is difficult. However, the doctrines of the Prosperity Gospel, the Secret Rapture and Once Saved Always Saved paint a different picture. These doctrines tell us that God wants all Christians to be rich; that God will not allow Christians to suffer in the Great Tribulation; that even if you were not ready when Jesus returns to rapture His Church, you will receive a second chance to be saved later; and,...

Bible study and especially deeper theology is far more vast than most people realize. People who teach from the Holy Scriptures can be very sincere but also sincerely wrong. This is error, rather than "false teaching" which always has an evil motive behind it, such as gleaning wealth from God's people, purposefully confusing them and claiming to be something they are not. This includes Prophets (some men really are Prophets), healers (this supernatural gift does operate today as God wills but some men use false chicanery), and the list goes on.

What if everything you believe about God, salvation, heaven, hell, sin, and Scripture was built on assumptions—and you didn’t even know it? The truth is, millions of Christians live out their faith with a fragmented understanding of the Bible. But God never meant for His Word to be confusing or compartmentalized. You were created to know truth deeply, believe rightly, and live boldly. *Systematic Theology* is the key that unlocks clarity in the chaos. Whether you're a pastor, seminary student, Bible teacher, or curious believer, chances are you've wrestled with complex questions: What ...

Does salvation hinge on divine decree or human choice? Are we puppets in a predetermined script, or does grace invite everyone to respond? For centuries, these questions have fueled some of the most passionate debates in Christian history. Some insist that God selects only a chosen few, while others hold fast to the belief that anyone can accept His grace. If you’ve ever wrestled with these ideas—or want to understand why so many do—this book is for you. This is not just another theology book. It’s a clear, compelling guide to Arminianism, the often-misunderstood perspective that ...

What if the very key to understanding God’s plan for humanity—the bridge between law, grace, and promise—has been sitting in plain sight, but the modern church has all but forgotten it? In a world of fragmented theologies and shifting doctrines, believers are left asking: How does God really relate to His people today? For centuries, covenant theology has served as the backbone of Christian understanding, yet many dismiss it as an outdated relic or confine it to dusty academic debates. But without covenant theology, grace becomes sentiment, law becomes crushing, and promise becomes ...
