A Critical Examination of the Doctrine of Revelation in Evangelical Theology
Theology
Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
An Exploration of Christian Theology
Theology
“This book is easy to read and it provides a survey of the views represented within historic Christianity. . . . On most issues, the author has encouraged the reader to consider the implications and applications of the doctrines, and many of the reflection questions are intended to stimulate further thinking about how to put the doctrines into practice. This book would make a good introduction to theology for people without much background in Christian doctrine. It is a basic guidebook to the field and it provides a helpful overview of most theological categories.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Many hear the word 'hospitality' and think of a home-cooked meal in the dining room of a large house filled with people or some other place of meeting. Laura Baghdassarian Murray argues for a slight modification of the understanding of hospitality, to a focus on people instead of space. Humans, created for relationships with God and with people, can express and receive hospitality anywhere. Thus, when we are welcomed into the lives of others and have the privilege of welcoming them into ours, we experience hospitality through the gift of presence. I highly recommend this book.”
Death in Second-Century Christian Thought
Theology
“Mutie argues that the way early Christians treated the bodies of deceased believers is evidence of their distinctly Christian view of the afterlife. He shows how the apostolic teaching and the culture impacted and informed the apologists' theological understanding and practice. Although no longer living, the dead saints were still seen as part of the community of faith. These second-century Christians believed 'in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.'”
History & Biography
“In this collection of previously published works by this respected historian, Kling traces the impact of Jonathan Edwards on and through the New Divinity thinkers that followed. From early chapters that demonstrate the significance of conversion and missions in Edwards’s thought through several case studies of his influence on the next generation of Christian leaders, this work summarizes not only the impact of Edwards on his successors but the influence of Kling’s historiography on students of Edwards.”
Exporting Progressivism to Communist China
History & Biography
“Christopher Sneller is a gifted storyteller. Based upon meticulous research of published and unpublished sources, he traces the previously largely untold story of the history of the impact Union Theological Seminary in New York had on the Protestant church in China in the first half of the twentieth century. This is a fascinating narrative which missiologists, historians, sociologists, and theologians will find helpful.”
Christian Living
“Christians gratefully affirm that salvation is by grace alone, but grace is much more than the basis of salvation. In fact, salvation of sinners is but one aspect of God's gracious and loving plan for His creation and merely the beginning of the impact of grace on believers. The Bible tells a remarkable story of the lengths and extent to which the Creator goes to defeat sin in all its forms. Death does not get the last word, grace does. Because of grace, believers live forever with the God who loves them in a new, redeemed creation where sin has been defeated and exiled. Writing in a style that invites the reader into conversation with the author, DiRoberts weaves together stories from the Scripture with those of his own experiences to unpack and illustrate the power of grace to transform those who embrace it. Readers will come to appreciate how amazing grace actually is.”
Christian Living
“an irresistible message. So why do so many resist it, reject Jesus, and rebuff the church? Perhaps the fault lies not with Jesus but with a burdensome set of rules and regulations that have been added to the simple ethic he taught in the great commandment: love God and love others (Matthew 22:36–40). Biblical in its basis, provocative in some proposals, convicting in its challenges, this book makes an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about the mission of the church, as she seeks to reach a pluralistic culture with the good news of the gospel.”
Mustard Seeds and Viral Videos
Fiction
“This is a remarkable book. Readers will see the parables of Jesus in a new light as they walk with Edwards through the stories he tells, experience the range of human emotions, and be encouraged to be changed by the encounter with the reality of the kingdom. I know of no book like it; I highly recommend it.”
Christian Living
“Martens is a practicing attorney with experience as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. In this book, he argues that justice must be rooted in love and mercy. He lays out a compelling case for the need to reexamine the reality of injustice in the American justice system. The system is broken and in need of repair. The evidence he presents is compelling. The argument he makes is convincing. The case he makes is compassionate. It is hard to imagine anyone reading this book and not being angered, saddened, and motivated to act for justice. Love demands it.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“This book encourages us not merely to wake up from addiction but also to wake up to adoration of the God who loves us and promises to be faithful to us forever. It is most effective when read slowly, reflecting on the challenges offered and allowing God to transform us.”
Theology
“A valuable contribution to the evangelical theological community. Lucid and readable, Demarest's work is an encyclopedic approach to the subject, which results in a good sourcebook on the major options in the hotly contested doctrines of soteriology. Demarest's treatment of such issues as lordship salvation, the nature of repentance, and various views of sanctification indicate his familiarity with the various options. Although no reader will agree with every theological position Demarest adopts, his explanations of views with which he disagrees seem fair. . . . It would make an excellent textbook for seminary or graduate courses in soteriology and a helpful addition to any pastor's library.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This book avoids simplistic responses, over-generalizations, and the blame game. Respect, integrity, and vulnerability characterize each page. I encourage ministry leaders of my generation to read this book, to take the issues raised seriously, and to continue the conversation with millennials in your ministry. I encourage millennials to read this book, to look for mentors among the boomer generation, and to join together with them for the sake of the gospel. The needs are great and the challenges severe but the resources in the church are sufficient for the task.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“This book provides a short daily devotional for each day of the year, focusing on theological terms and doctrines, and the corresponding biblical texts. Each entry includes reflection questions, encouraging the reader to mediate on the subject for the day. In a year’s time, the reader will have worked through the major doctrines of the Christian faith. In short, concise, clear, thoughtful daily readings, God’s incredible wisdom and grace is revealed and explained. Working through the readings is an act of worship and thus is a valuable daily practice, an opportunity to be shaped and formed by the truth of Scripture and Christian doctrine.”
Trinitarian Interpretation in Light of the Identity of YHWH as the Triune God
Theology
Foreword
“Alias Eldhose argues that advocates of the trinitarian interpretation of Scripture oftentimes understand YHWH in the Hebrew Scriptures as a reference to God the Father. Thus, trinitarian interpretation tends to have an isolationist tendency; its focus is on Christology or pneumatology. He presents a compelling case that YHWH is Trinity, thus advocating for a consistent, intentional, and focused trinitarian interpretation. This book contends for a helpful refocusing of trinitarian interpretation.”
