Easily the most important advance in Judeo-Christian relations in 100 years, Commonwealth Theology (CT) cuts across denominational divisions to reveal God’s plan for the Church and the Jews. CT is based on a more literal interpretation of the Scriptures. Interpretations have, since the 2nd century, been influenced by man’s philosophy and politics. Beyond the basics of Christian salvation, mainstream theologies are at odds. Catholic, Reform, and Evangelical interpretations of Bible prophecy don’t agree because they have all overlooked the obvious. Is it possible that the truth has been...

C. T. Studd was one of the Cambridge Seven in the 1800s. These men dedicated their lives to Christian missions work. This bold treatise by Studd encourages Christians to be bold in sharing their faith - to contain inner granite rather than melting chocolate. This is an impassioned look at taking faith seriously in a time when comfort was sought with greater enthusiasm.

What does scientism and pseudoscience have to do with the whole flat earth versus globe earth argument? Everything! Scientism has invaded American culture in a stunning pervasive way, and it has invaded the American church thoroughly, deeply, and created strongholds in which biblical truths have been polluted by subtle but dangerous lies. Christians, including sincere pastors, never saw the assault coming, and 99% still have no idea what scientism is or how it relates to the viral lies that have infected their understanding of the scriptures and God’s truths. Most pastors still think they...

When floods rage, fires consume, and storms shake the very ground we stand on, one question echoes through the chaos: Where is God? This timely and compassionate book was born from a heartfelt sermon and inspired by real tragedies—floods in Texas that claimed young lives and wildfires in Maui that devastated communities. Through biblical reflection, personal experience, and pastoral insight, Pastor John E. Miller guides readers through the emotional and spiritual wreckage that disasters leave behind. Rooted in Wesleyan theology and anchored in Scripture, this book offers a path forward ...

En el Año de San José, esta obra es de lectura obligatoria para todos los que deseen conocer más sobre la vida del Santo Patriarca San José. Padre de Jesús y Custodio de la Sagrada Familia. Cuando el Niño Jesús entró en el mundo, el afecto de la mejor de todas las madres, María Santísima, ya lo estaba amparando. Pero, para custodiarlo y defenderlo de todos los peligros solamente un hombre fue escogido: San José, a quien el mismo Padre eterno confió la misión de ser, en esta tierra, el padre virginal de su Hijo. Esta cercanía con Dios hecho hombre le permitió beneficiarse como...

What does a christian do with the subject of flat earth? Specifically, how can a christian intelligently and wisely handle the controversial topic of whether the earth is a sphere or a plain? This is no longer a subject that christians can avoid, hoping the entire subject will go away so you won't have to deal with it. The subject of flat earth has become a very hot topic, and among many believers and unbelievers the phrase "flat earth" is an emotional trigger that sets some people off. In the U.S., the U.K., Canada, and many other countries, this subject is full of more deception, more ...

The atonement of Jesus Christ is the most important event ever to occur upon this earth. It is the keystone of all Christian religions and yet continues to be shrouded in mystery. It has remained a paradox, an unsolvable conundrum...until now. In this book the author parts the veil of mystery, and, perhaps for the first time, presents answers to the most profound questions concerning the atonement: - Why was the atonement of Christ necessary? Where did the atonement actually occur? - What exactly happened to Christ during the atonement? Why did Christ shed his blood? - How does the ...

This is perhaps the most sustained critique of the formal doctrine of Protestantism, Sola Scriptura, from a Latter-day Saint in print that I am aware of. All the "proof-texts" are exegeted carefully, including 1 Cor 4:6, 2 Tim 3:16-17, Rev 22:18-19, Rom 15:4, Acts 17:11, and Isa 8:20. There is also an appendix discussing important patristic-era authors and how they did not function in a way commensurate with the doctrine/practice of Sola Scriptura and the formal sufficiency of the bible (e.g., Irenaeus of Lyons). I also discuss texts and arguments one should *not* use against this doctrine,...

"You won’t like this book. Ecclesiastes is gloomy, skeptical, and irreverent. It is caustic and drolly splenetic. It is unapologetically human. It refuses to abet our hunger for clean narratives and happy endings. It is a hopeless book. Insisting on life’s futility, the world’s capriciousness, and God’s inscrutability, it deliberately cultivates despair. It sees such bone-deep hopelessness as the only cure for what ails us. Ecclesiastes is a hard book full of hard sayings. It is an anvil against which our hearts must be hammered. No wonder we avoid it. But the cost of avoidance is ...

A leading evangelical theologian provides a comprehensive examination of the various evangelical views of the millennium (and other eschatological subjects).

Updated with Scripture Index When we talk about the Sovereignty of God, we are talking about who God is and how he relates to the universe and to all he created. This includes how he relates to mankind. We live in a world that seems to be moving further and further away from God. But if God is the creator of everything, including man, then what should we know about his sovereignty? This book seeks to discover what it means that God is sovereign and how his sovereignty relates to each of us. In this book, the author will address: What Is Sovereignty? Sovereignty: The Potter and the Clay ...

Transcending Architecture considers the mysterious, profound, and real power of designed environments to address the spiritual dimension of our humanity. The book offers a wide, critical, and nuanced understanding of the lived relationship between the built and the numinous worlds. It examines phenomenological, symbolic and designerly ways in which the holy gets fixed and experienced through buildings, landscapes, and urban forms, and not just in institutionally defined religious or sacred places. Transcending Architecture brings together a stellar group of scholars and practitioners to share their insights: architect Juhani Pallasmaa and philosopher Karsten Harries, comparative religion scholar Lindsay Jones and architectural theoretician Karla Britton, sacred architecture researcher Thomas Barrie and theologian Kevin Seasoltz, landscape architect Rebecca Krinke and Faith & Form magazine editor Michael Crosbie, are among the illustrious contributors.

In his writings, Justin Martyr presents the theme of participation in the divine Logos. The most important source for his philosophical and theological interpretation of this theme is the term “Logos spermatikos” (λόγος σπερματικός), which he explains in several chapters of his Apologies. In introducing the concept into Christian thought, Justin develops the doctrine of the pre-existent Logos, who was hidden during Old Testament times, but then passed on the “seeds of truth” to some philosophers, before fully revealing himself in the Person of Jesus Christ. The ...

In The Method of Christian Theology, Rhyne Putman guides listeners through the essential “first words” of systematic theology. Written for entry-level theology students, this book provides clear guidance for using theological sources, reasoning through difficult questions, and applying theological reflection in paper writing and preaching.

Based on an examination of the moral methodology in The Bible, the audiobook discusses the importance of participating in divine nature through grace in order to attain eternal happiness.

The Christian faith has been vigorously defended with a variety of philosophical, historical, and theological arguments, but many of the arguments that worked in an earlier age no longer resonate in today's educated West. Where has apologetics gone wrong? What is the best response to the growing challenge presented by scientific discovery and naturalistic thought?

Dr. Cottrell states in the preface, "I consider the doctrine of baptism to be one of the most important Biblical doctrines for consideration by the Christian world today. This is true not just because baptism is one of the New Covenant conditions for receiving salvation from sin, but because it is almost universally misunderstood throughout Christendom in our time. The misunderstanding of the form of baptism (i.e., immersion) began as early as the mid-second century of the Christian era, in the Christian writing known as The Didache (or, The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles). The subjects of...

Gregory the Great (bishop of Rome from 590 to 604) is one of the most significant figures in the history of Christianity. His theological works framed medieval Christian attitudes toward mysticism, exegesis, and the role of the saints in the life of the church. The scale of Gregory's administrative activity in both the ecclesial and civic affairs of Rome also helped to make possible the formation of the medieval papacy.
