Creation Theology

Union with Christ is an important theological and practical concept that has received considerable attention in recent years. But not much consideration has been given to this union and its benefits in light of Jesus's resurrection and ascension. In this follow-up to his monumental A New Testament Biblical Theology, G. K. Beale summarizes and expands on that work with an eye to fleshing out the theological implications of the resurrection and ascension.

Evolution--or the broader topic of origins--has enormous relevance to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret Scripture. Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing...

This is the first book ever written with the title A Systematic Theology of Love. That this book is the first should puzzle those who consider love central, if not primary, to God. And yet systematic theologians typically orient their theologies around other concerns, such as divine sovereignty, freedom, scripture, trinity, or mystery,Thomas Jay Oord not only puts love first, but he also offers an experience-informed and rationally-coherent theology. He argues that the universal Spirit always loves creation in uncontrolling and others-empowering ways.

Christianity has revealed the secret that psychologists have long sought—the “inward soul,” the re-created spirit, the focus of God’s great redemptive work on earth. The four Gospels give us a wonderful picture of the lonely man of Galilee, the humble Messiah who ends His earthly walk on Calvary. But Paul’s Epistles give us the risen triumphant One, the conqueror of death, sin, and Satan. He provides the revelation of what happened on the cross and in the tomb, and how that affects who and what we are in Christ today.

What if everything you were taught about your body was wrong? For generations, the church has preached a gospel that rescues the soul while leaving the body behind — a faith that treats sickness as a teacher, death as a promotion, and heaven as an escape from the embarrassment of flesh. Sacred Biology is a bold, pastoral, and theologically grounded challenge to that inherited framework. Bestselling author Tommy Miller argues that the gospel has never been about getting out of your body. From Genesis to Revelation, God's plan moves through bodies — forming them, entering one, redeeming ...

Genesis 1-3: Creation (Book 1 of the Invisible Touch Series) is adapted from sixteen sermons preached at the Reformed Baptist Church of Northern Colorado. This is the first volume in a multi-part series on Genesis. Douglas Van Dorn invites readers to approach the opening chapters of the Bible with fresh humility and awe. Genesis 1–3 is far more than an ancient origin account or a battleground for science debates. It is a breathtaking temple liturgy, a supernatural declaration of Yahweh’s unchallenged kingship over creation, and the opening act of redemptive history. Through careful ...
