Theology Language

This book paraphrases 86 of Pope John Paul II's talks on the theology of the body in easy-to-understand English.

Does God hate certain people or does He love everyone? Is He jealous of anyone? Does He struggle with anger? Is He looking for people to be terrified of Him? Is He self-centered and vindictive? Can He be provoked easily? Does He lead people astray? Is He punishing children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren for the sins of their forefathers? Some argue that the Bible teaches that God is the one who accomplishes all of this. Sadly, some have reached these incorrect conclusions because they were unable to appreciate the figurative and idiomatic language of Scripture. This book, “...

Theology for the Rest of Us is a systematic Christian theology written in everyday language. It covers key areas of doctrine such as bibliology, theology proper, Christology, pneumatology, soteriology, and ecclesiology.

What if the Bible was teaching you not only what to think, but how to feel? Modern readers often approach scripture as a collection of doctrines, commandments, and stories. Ancient Israelites experienced something more. They encountered a God who rejoiced, grieved, loved, showed compassion, and invited His covenant people to learn those same divine emotions. In Language of the Heart, Taylor Halverson, Ph.D., explores the emotional world of the Bible and the Restoration. Drawing on Hebrew language, ancient Near Eastern culture, biblical theology, and Latter-day Saint scripture, this book ...

Experience one of the earliest and most profound works of Christian theology like never before. St. Athanasius’s On the Incarnation—written over 1,700 years ago—remains a cornerstone of Christian faith, offering a compelling explanation of the mystery of the Incarnation: God becoming man to redeem humanity.

Reports of near-death experiences (NDEs) are flooding the media with books, articles and interviews. People describe hovering over their bodies, details of their surgeries, talking with deceased relatives, and reviewing their lives in vivid detail, often while their brains should be incapable of producing rational thought or memories.

If God already knows what you'll do tomorrow, did you ever really have a choice? Jonathan Edwards spent his sharpest years answering that, and his answer still unsettles people 270 years later. Every decision feels like it could have gone the other way. But could it have? And if every choice you'll ever make is already known, in what sense is it yours at all? In 1754, Jonathan Edwards set out to settle this question once and for all, and produced what many still call the most powerful work of philosophical theology ever written in America. Freedom of the Will dismantles a comfortable ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 068 In this address, first given as a paper to Romanian Orthodox theologians, the author describes the particular significance of the doctrines of the Trinity and of the Incarnation in Anglican theology, from the end of the sixteenth century to modern times. Arthur MacDonald Allchin (1930-2010), best known as Donald Allchin, was ordained priest in 1957 and later became a Canon of Canterbury Cathedral.

In today’s church, familiar words are spoken—but do they still carry their original meaning? Terms like grace, faith, love, repentance, and salvation are used constantly, yet their true biblical power has often been diluted, redefined, or completely lost. The Strange Language of Modern Christianity exposes how modern religious culture has reshaped heaven-sent words into man-centered ideas—leaving many believers with a form of godliness but lacking its transforming power. With clarity and spiritual insight, this book calls readers back to the pure, life-giving language of Jesus Christ ...

The result is a clear, easy to read text that is enjoyable and understandable for modern readers of all levels of theological interest and expertise. This short book is ideal ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 146 Despite the distance separating eighteenth-century Welsh Methodism from nineteenth-century French Catholicism, Ann Griffiths in Wales and the Carmelite Elizabeth of the Trinity in France are as one in the passionate intensity of their prayer and in their theological perception of God the Holy Trinity as the supreme reality. The author examines common themes in the writings of the two women. Arthur MacDonald Allchin (1930-2010), best known as Donald Allchin, was ordained priest in 1957 and later became a Canon of Canterbury Cathedral. He first gained recognition as...

Theopoetics: A Language of Wander & Wonder is a Theopoetic and interdisciplinary exploration of how we speak about God, life, and meaning in a world that resists certainty. Moving beyond rigid doctrine and purely analytical theology, this work reclaims language as a living, imaginative, and deeply human response to the Divine.

There’s more to salvation than punching your ticket for heaven. John Wesley taught that full salvation means becoming completely holy in heart and life. This focus on personal holiness was one of the defining characteristics of the Wesleyan revival. The many Methodist and Wesleyan denominations, the Pentecostal and holiness movements, and the Salvation Army all trace their lineage back to these teachings. Wesley’s followers believed what he taught fiercely, lived it out faithfully, and witnessed to it boldly, to the point that they were often violently persecuted. Today, millions of ...

What happens when a brilliant mind decides that God can be defined with exact precision? What begins as theology quickly becomes something far more explosive—a battle over language, logic, power, and the limits of human understanding. Eunomius for Beginners opens the door to one of the most daring and controversial voices in early Christian history, a man whose confidence in reason forced the ancient Church to answer questions it could not ignore. Eunomius was no minor footnote. He was a theological provocateur whose ideas stirred some of the greatest Christian thinkers of the fourth ...

"This book thrilled my soul and reinvigorated my hope." — Amazon reviewer “Christians aren’t perfect, just forgiven.” John Wesley doesn’t agree. In this classic sermon, the father of Methodism and grandfather of the Salvation Army and the Pentecostal movement shows that using a proper Biblical definition, Christians not only can become perfect in this life — God commands us to! Seeking perfection was an integral part of the explosive growth of Methodism for 100 years, even as it led to the persecution of those who practiced it. As many of the denominations descended from Wesley ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 035 The story of God’s speaking is essentially a love story, but simply reading the Bible to hear God’s voice is bewildering for many. Sister Mary Paul looks at the personalities, perceptions, intelligence and ability to write among the authors of the Bible as well as the difficult language of some translations and how these might be barriers to reading and understanding its message. She discusses how pondering the Bible is one means of growing in prayer and suggests ways of navigating the difficulties presented by the variability of the texts.
