The church is filled with people asking, "Is this it? Is this all the Christian life is supposed to be?" They long to experience more of God's presence - they just don't know how to get there. Some have been burned by "charismania." Others are fearful of it. Is there a way to experience the Spirit - without the weirdness? Author and pastor Alan Kraft provides a biblical pathway into the exhilaration of an everyday experience with the Holy Spirit, showing how normal it can be to hear God's voice, know his love, and walk in his power.

Fazlur Rahman was one of the great 20th-century Muslim modernists, whose prolific writing and sheer number of students who make up a who’s who of Islamic studies throughout North America reveal the impact that he has had on both academe and on Muslim communities throughout the world. The modernist approach is contrasted with the radical approach of Mawlana Mawdudi of Pakistan.

"UN LIBRO ÚNICO EN SU GÉNERO" El Cumplimiento de las Promesas de Dios es producto de más de 30 años de estudio e investigación sobre el tema, y 25 años de enseñanza sobre Teología del Pacto a nivel seminario y postgrado.

Healing the Gospel challenges the assumption that the Christian understanding of justice is rooted in a demand for violent punishment, and instead offers a radically different understanding of the gospel based on God's restorative justice. Connecting our own experiences of faith with the New Testament narrative, author Derek Flood shows us an understanding of the cross that not only reveals God's heart of grace, but also models our own way of Christ-like love.

How is it that we have so lost sight of the meaning of the human person that our very biological sex is seen as just another medical problem to be solved by technique? In a society that has rejected all moral norms, that refuses to honor God as Creator, what hope do we have of stemming the tide of scientific intervention into even the most sacred dimensions of our humanity? In this prescient volume, originally published in 1984, the eminent theological ethicist Oliver O’Donovan offers a penetrating analysis of our confusion over human nature and the proper boundaries of medical science.

In Final Warning, beloved pastor and best-selling author Carl Gallups explores the stunning visions of the Apostle John as found in the seven trumpets of Revelation and overlays them on major events in the 20th and 21st centuries. How do the two world wars line up with John the Revelator's visions? Could it really be that the Chernobyl meltdown was foretold in the Bible almost 2,000 years before it happened? Does the rebirth of Israel indicate the last days are upon us?

The “modern Jesus” of progressives—supposedly friendlier and more accepting than the Savior we know from the Gospels—is gaining popularity and acceptance among self-identified Christians. But they don’t realize that progressive Christianity rejects the biblical revelation of Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. Hijacking Jesus addresses perennial questions about the nature of Christ and his teaching, testing the historical and theological accuracy of progressive Christians.

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...

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 ...

James Hillman is a psychologist and author of The Soul's Code, recently at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. His essay "Going Bugs" is a classic exposition of the meaning of bugs in the human psyche.

TODO LO QUE HAY EN DIOS ES DIOS MISMO Sin que muchos lo sepan, un número cada vez mayor de evangélicos conservadores niega los principios fundamentales de la enseñanza cristiana clásica sobre Dios, con graves desviaciones incluso entre los teólogos de la persuasión calvinista y reformada. El libro de James E. Dolezal Todo lo que hay en Dios ofrece una exposición de la posición cristiana histórica al tiempo que se enfrenta a estas graves desviaciones contemporáneas. Su convincente crítica de la nueva posición que él denomina mutualismo teísta es filosóficamente sólida, ...

In this revelatory exploration of Gnostic wisdom and the Tripartite Tractate, you are invited to remember the truth of your existence and reclaim the knowledge that was always yours.

The Kant revealed in this book reminds us of a perennial task of philosophy, going back to Plato, where philosophy is construed as a way of life, oriented towards happiness, achieved through a properly expansive conception of reason and happiness. When we understand this philosophical religiosity, many standard "problems" in the interpretation of Kant can be seen in a new light, and resolved. Kant witnesses to a strand of philosophy that leans into the category of the divine, at the edges of what we can say about reason, freedom, autonomy, and happiness.

“AIPARTHENOS | EVER-VIRGIN? Understanding the Orthodox Catholic Doctrine of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Identity of James and the Brothers and Sisters of the Lord” offers a comprehensive, scholarly, yet easy to read treatment of the issue of Mary’s perpetual virginity and of the identity of the “brothers and sisters” of Jesus. Leaving no stone unturned, Pr Cleenewerck explores the three main positions (Epiphanian, Helvidian, Hieronymian), from an Epiphanian/Orthodox perspective. In doing so, he discusses the major arguments brought forth by ...

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 ...

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 ...
