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.

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 For centuries, covenant theology has served as the backbone of Christian understanding, yet many dismiss it as an outdated relic or confine it to dusty academic debates.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 ...

The Fullness of God in Jesus Christ is a profound theological exploration of the complete embodiment of the Deity in the person of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Scripture and historical theology, this work argues that the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Christ—not symbolically, but completely and eternally. Through careful exegesis and typology, the author dismantles traditional misunderstandings of the Trinity, affirming the biblical view that Jesus is not a secondary person in a triune model, but the express image, the face, and the living temple of the invisible God. Each chapter...

Apostolic blueprint. Prophetic fire. A journey that transforms. These are not just poetic phrases—they are the heartbeat of a movement.

An Introduction to Biblical Classical Theism What role should philosophy play in shaping our understanding of the nature of God? Is there a basic agreement between Plato’s and Aristotle’s doctrine of God and the God of Scripture? Were the Scholastics wise in seeking to harmonize Platonism and Aristotelianism with Christianity? Is understanding the Scholastic heritage necessary in understanding the doctrine of God as expressed in the Protestant confessions of the sixteenth and seventeenth century? The Revealed God answers these questions by showing how philosophy is in opposition to ...

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.

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 ...

Is the doctrine of predestination already present in the book of Genesis? Many readers are surprised to discover that the seeds of God’s sovereign grace are already evident in the earliest pages of Scripture. From the election of Abraham to the mysterious blessing of Jacob over Esau, Genesis reveals more than historical events—it unveils the eternal plan of a sovereign God. In this thought-provoking book, the five points of Calvinism—Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints—are traced through the narratives of ...

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 ...

Although the thoughts and ideas of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud have no doubt greatly impacted modern civilization, still many of their central doctrines remain shrouded in ambiguity, imprecision, and lack of evidence. The fact that they all shamelessly engaged in continuous revisions, denials, and withdrawals of multiple aspects and even key features of their core doctrines during their lifetimes makes concise and authentic descriptions of these doctrines exceedingly difficult, if not untenable. Yet bounteous homage, fervent respect, and near-sacred reverence of these ...

Charles Kim has explored its meaning from the point of Jesus. In this series of writings, he seeks to show how Jesus used and valued the Bible in his own life and ministry. In teaching the crowds and the Pharisees and his disciples Jesus used such phrases as: “Haven’t you read…”, “it is written…” Jesus made imaginative references to Jonah and to the donkey Jesus rode, showing how Jesus fulfilled Scripture. Jesus rebuked the Sadducees for not knowing Scripture or the Power of God. He challenged the Pharisees to study the Bible more deeply—“Go and find what this means…” ...
