In recent years, and in particular since the election of Barack Obama, the religious conversation in America has been dominated by calls for progressives to move beyond 'partisanship' by reaching out to evangelicals in order to create a 'big tent' on social issues such as abortion and marriage equality, despite the lack of evidence that such a strategy can or ever did work. This misguided notion that we can build a shared political and religious center...

Dabei greifen sie brandaktuelle Fragen vieler Christen auf und setzen sie in den direkten Kontext zu Aussagen Jesu. Es geht um vieldiskutierte Themen wie Homosexualität, Islam, zur Rolle des Heiligen Geistes oder zur Abtreibung....

This lively and challenging book asks you to think about the trinity, what it means, how it came to be, and what value it might have in Christian...

Christianity Today 2019 Book Award for Theology/Ethics
To see God is our heart's desire, our final purpose in life. But what does it mean to see God? And exactly how do we see God-with our physical eyes or with the mind's eye? In this informed study of the beatific vision, Hans Boersma focuses on "vision" as a living metaphor and shows how the vision of God is not just a future but a present reality.
Seeing God is both a historical theology and a...

The early Christians saw in Jesus the focus and fulfillment of the conviction that God is with us. Over time, they learned to speak of that presence in terms of divine incarnation. That one theological affirmation raises questions for practically all other Christian beliefs. If God is incarnate in Jesus of Nazareth, how does that change our understanding of God's presence in all things? What does it mean to be human if the life of God has been so...

John Stott's masterly distillation of sixty years' reflection on Christian discipleship ranges over the history of the church and its formative teachings, as well as the world-wide church today. He expounds the trinitarian character of the evangelical faith: the gracious initiative of God the Father in revealing himself to us, of Jesus Christ in redeeming us through the cross, and of the indwelling Holy Spirit in transforming us. This is why the three-fold...

Most Christians believe God is in control, but they are unsure of how to reconcile that control with their struggles with sin, the command to evangelize, and the immense suffering in the world and their own lives. Laing offers an introduction to the doctrine of providence based on the theory of middle knowledge, first articulated in the sixteenth century. This view describes how creatures have true free will and God has perfect knowledge of what each...

"Do you plan to pollute yourselves just as your ancestors did?" - Ezekiel 20:30
As humans on the earth, we take the simple things in life for granted. We take water, air, and even The Invisible Kingdom Of Yahweh for granted. The outcome from this includes polluted water, degraded and harmful food chains, air pollution, and diluted polluted religion.

In his two-volume work on the doctrine of justification, Michael Horton seeks not simply to repeat noble doctrinal formulas and traditional proof texts, but to encounter the remarkable biblical justification texts in conversation with the provocative proposals that, despite a wide range of differences,...

How is it at all possible to project an image of being narrow-minded and judgmental and, at the same time, imagine that you can be an effective witness for Jesus Christ? The teaching of Jesus Christ unambiguously rejects such aberrations and, by definition, His Gospel of Grace renders them inadmissible. This is the paradox which Derek van Rensburg sees at the heart of the very conservative brand of Evangelicalism which has been his spiritual home...
