The 11th volume of the Theological Threads series, The Function of Law in Romans, explores what the apostle Paul meant when he uses "law" in his epistle to the church in Rome. Many polemics have accused Paul of having an inconsistent or self-contradictory message about the Jewish law. However, this treatise researches his preference to explain by moving from problem to solution, the use of 'the age of flesh' and 'the age of the Spirit', and how they resolve the so-called problems with Paul's theology.

For many years, Michael Phillips assumed he clearly understood the life of Jesus. Though Jesus was in truth his Savior, and even his Lord, Phillips felt challenged to understand more of the remarkable life lived 2,000 years ago in Palestine. Then came a crisis in his spiritual pilgrimage. Challenged to discover the New Testament imperative for his life, Phillips takes a fresh look at the Bible to find out what is the essence, the foundation, of spirituality. He discovers a key that gives validity to an entire life's purpose as a Christian. And that key to Jesus' life was obedience.

James Denney was a Scottish New Testament scholar, pastor, and theologian (1856 - 1917). The author was convinced that the death of Christ was not given the proper importance in the common Christian mind, measured against its centrality in the New Testament. The purpose of the evangelical and theological work The Death of Christ is thus to explain the place held by the death of Christ in the scriptures, and the interpretation put upon it by the apostolic writers.

"Tell them it's not all right..." The Voice of God continued... "They think they're all right. They think that as long as they believe in something, they'll be all right. But they won't be. They won't be all right. Unless they repent and receive my Son Jesus as their Savior and Lord, they won't be all right. Someone's got to tell them, 'it's not all right.' Someone's got to tell them they won't be 'all right.' Someone's got to tell them!" In the fall of 1975, international evangelist, pastor and author, Dr. Joseph Kostelnik, experienced a dramatic encounter with the Heavenly Father during a...

What should be the primary emphasis of a theological education? How should the student of theology approach such a transcendent topic? William Swan Plumer answers both questions with eloquence and wisdom in the two inaugural addresses contained in this book: Christ All in All, his 1854 inaugural address at Western theological seminary in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and The Right Temper for a Theologian, his 1867 inaugural address at Columbia theological seminary in Columbia, South Carolina.

This book presents a sweeping survey of Bible prophecy that relates to the First and Second Comings of Jesus. In the process it addresses several key questions: Was the virgin birth of Jesus anticipated in Bible prophecy, or was it an afterthought? Was the resurrection of Jesus prophesied, or was it the result of wishful thinking? Was the deity of Jesus foretold in prophecy, or was it an idea manufactured by His disciples? How can Jesus be found throughout the Bible in symbolic prophecy? Additionally, the book presents extensive evidence of the validity of the virgin birth of Jesus, His ...

The concept of the New Jerusalem, often referred to as the city of God, holds a central place in Christian eschatology and theology. It is depicted vividly in the Bible, particularly in the book of Revelation, where it represents the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises to His people.

Domesticated Jesus. Or “DJ”. It’s a horrible name—but a name that accurately reflects what each of us has done in our own lives. “I can hear your protests,” says author Harry Kraus, “and believe me, they are my own. Jesus Christ cannot be domesticated! I’m talking about the way I make myself big. And in the process, I've domesticated the Almighty. Tamed him. Advised him. Put him in a box. Expected him to function like a divine vending machine. That sickens me. Shocks me. And it should.”
