Justin Holcomb, pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle and executive director of the Resurgence, highlights Scripture's recurring emphasis on humanity’s desperate need and God’s extravagant grace. Holcomb convincingly demonstrates that grace - most powerfully manifested in the person and work of Jesus Christ - is the foundational theme and primary message of the whole Bible.

This 1754 work by Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is subtitled An Inquiry into the Modern Prevailing Notions of the Freedom of the Will Which Is Supposed to Be Essential to Moral Agency, Virtue and Vice, Reward and Punishment, Praise and Blame. Edwards was a Christian reformer, theologian, and author in the Calvinist tradition, and in this work he explores the necessity of divine grace for the redeeming of the damaged will of humanity. He contends that free will is an extension of, and connected to, the grace of God.

The fifth and final installment of written sermons produced by George MacDonald in which he discusses his personal beliefs and insights on a variety of subjects including: the beatitudes, the contrast between God’s wisdom and worldly wisdom, and the surprising ways in which He pursues our hearts with gentleness, even when entering our darkest places.

On the Saints is the third volume in the series Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas, in which the saints of both the Old and New Testaments are presented for the encouragement and edification of the faithful.

One of the theological mysteries that every Christian who wrestles with doctrine faces is the tension between predestination and free will. Christians have been arguing over this since the 4th century, with some churches stressing the sovereign work of God and others stressing the free will of man. In this chapter taken from the book "Solid Ground", Mr. Clay explores part of this conflict and attempts to resolve it from a look at what the Bible says on both sides of the issue. Mr. Clay explains that he believes both sides have part of the truth and need to see the entire truth partially ...

Some people think that salvation is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements needed to get into heaven when they die. But that’s not how Jesus talked about it. Rightly understood, salvation is an invitation to know God and to experience his presence, favor, and power starting right here on earth. Best-selling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something we can only hope to experience after we die; recaptures the New Testament definition of salvation, eternal life, and the Good News of the Gospel; and explains what it really means to be a disciple.

For years, Robert A. Peterson taught about the assurance of salvation in seminary and Sunday school classrooms. He was concerned, however, to find that some people, for a variety of reasons, were unable to grasp the certainty of their salvation. The Assurance of Salvation identifies these...

What if everything you’ve been told about salvation is wrong? For nearly a thousand years Christians have been hearing and repeating a story about why Jesus died on the cross. It’s the only story of salvation most of them have ever heard. And it’s wrong. The Bible doesn’t have that story and the early Christians never heard that story - they never believed it. In Salvation (and how we got it wrong), Kenneth Myers revisits the story of our salvation, retelling it like the early Christians told it. No longer a tale of an angry God punishing his Son in payment for crimes against his ...

The piece argues that the modern “church planter” concept is a late, human-invented construct born out of 19th–20th-century missiology—the academic habit of systematizing mission work using theology plus social sciences—and especially out of recent evangelical church-growth culture. It sketches a brief history of missiology: mission in the NT and early church is simply narrated; medieval Catholicism talks about plantatio Ecclesiae as the church being planted in new lands; Protestant mission societies explode in the 18th–19th centuries; then figures like Warneck and Schmidlin ...

Election Untangled: Chosen for the Gospel, Not for Salvation Few doctrines in Scripture have been more hotly debated—and more misunderstood—than the doctrine of election. For centuries, Christians have asked: Who does God choose? Does election mean only some can be saved? Is salvation restricted to the “elect”? These questions have divided churches, sparked controversy, and caused confusion for believers seeking clear biblical answers. In Election Untangled, Pastor Marvin McKenzie takes readers on a journey from Genesis to Revelation to uncover what the Bible really teaches about ...

La prédestination n’est pas un concept théologique réservé aux calvinistes. Tous les croyants qui étudient sérieusement la Parole devraient s’intéresser à cette doctrine biblique. Dans ce livre, R. C. Sproul soutient que la doctrine de la prédestination ne crée pas une image fantaisiste ou malveillante de Dieu, mais dresse plutôt le portrait d’un Dieu aimant qui assure la rédemption d’une humanité fondamentalement corrompue. L'auteur nous rappelle que les voies de Dieu, bien que mystérieuses, ne se contredisent pas.

Many Catholics don't believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. Rather, they see the bread and wine of Holy Communion as mere symbols of Christ's body and blood. Is that disbelief just a misunderstanding or is it a blatant rejection of one of the central beliefs of the faith? In Real Presence, University of Notre Dame theologian Timothy P. O'Malley clears up the confusion and shows you how to learn to love God and neighbor through a deeper understanding of the doctrine of real presence.

In The Old Covenant Abolished—Entering the Law of Christ, David Michael Curtis challenges centuries of institutional tradition by presenting a decisive, biblically-grounded case that the entire Old Covenant given at Sinai has been completely fulfilled, abolished, and replaced by the superior New Covenant. This is not another academic opinion but a conclusion drawn directly from the harmonious testimony of the King James Bible. This book is a theological workshop designed to empower you, the reader, to become a master builder of your own faith. Rejecting the flawed expository methods ...

This book, part of the Foundations of the Faith Series and built exclusively upon the King James Version, meticulously dissects the relationship between God's sovereign grace and the believer's life of obedience.

Among our greatest fears is the dread of what others would think of us "if they only knew" - the parts of our past we hope to forget, the parts of our present we work to conceal. Yet the part we actually do the best job of hiding is not the unsightly debris of our own mess, but rather the stunning beauty of God's grace. The fear that demands we protect this false image at all costs leads us to unwittingly declare a false gospel at every turn. Jamie Ivey finally grew tired of doing that, tired of being too ashamed and insecure to let others see the full extent of what God was capable of doing with our unworthiness. So she quit hiding.

Recent days have seen a debate among evangelicals over how the death of Christ is to be interpreted. When a popular British evangelical leader appeared to denounce the idea that God was punishing Christ in our place on the cross as a "twisted version of events," "morally dubious," and a "huge...
