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 ...

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

"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 ...

Letters to the Seven Churches by Jeff Culver isn’t just another commentary on the book of Revelation—it’s a deep, revealing journey into the cultural and historical world behind the text. With clarity and depth, Jeff Culver takes readers beyond the surface, unpacking how Jesus’s words to each of the seven churches were tailored specifically to the cities' reputations, customs, and even their monuments. This is the book that finally answers, “Why did He say that to them?” by reconnecting modern readers to the first-century world that originally heard the message. Rather than ...

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,...

Davis offers a balanced, biblically-grounded exploration of demonology that cuts through confusion with clarity and wisdom. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible speaks of a cosmic conflict between the kingdom of God and the forces of darkness.

For anyone who feels caught in the tension between the beauty of God’s story and the ugliness of human hypocrisy, Why I Still Believe by apologist and Professor Mary Jo Sharp is the hopeful story of an unlikely convert and an approachable case for believing in God when you want to walk away from Christianity.

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.

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...
