While many of us struggle to understand it, the Trinity is one of the most important teachings of the Christian faith. It defines God's very essence and describes how he relates to us. And while it can be a difficult concept to get our heads around, it is crucial for believers to understand how God explains his triune nature in his word. In this book, James R. White offers a concise, understandable explanation of what the Trinity is and why it matters.

Story5 out of 5 stars 164
Since the days of the early church, Christians have struggled to understand the relationship between two seemingly contradictory concepts in the Bible: law and gospel. If, as the Apostle Paul says, the law cannot save, what can it do? Is it merely an ancient relic from Old Testament Israel to be discarded? Or is it still valuable for Christians today?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 71
Jonathan Edwards was a Protestant theologian and a leading revivalist preacher during the Great Awakening. Edwards wrote Freedom of the Will in the 18th century while working as a missionary to a tribe of Housatonic Native Americans in Massachusetts. He carefully drew out the differences of thought between the Calvinist and Arminian theologies and sided with the Calvinist views on humanity's will. Edwards sought to understand God's foreknowledge and how it related to free will and the ability to choose between good and evil.

Story5 out of 5 stars 147
If God is in control of everything, does that mean the Christian can sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism simply imply that God is not sovereign at all? J.I. Packer shows in this classic study how false both these attitudes are. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.

Knowledge of the Church's History: Essential
A brief summary of 2,000 years is nearly impossible. Dr. Ferguson provides the best synopsis possible, in my opinion. In a day where, especially American, Christians are so detached from any knowledge of Christ's Faithfulness to His church, this book is an excellent place for leaders and laypeople alike to begin their understanding. The orator was fantastic. I couldn't stop listening. When the book had finished, I immediately played it again. I've studied this subject in depth, and even taught church history in my congregation. For those immersed in more exhaustive works on this subject, and for people looking for where to begin, this book is a must. Psalm 110.1. HE will have Dominion.
