Theology

“If you struggle with the idea of God sending people created in his image to eternal torment, this short but thick read is for you. In this stimulating theological exposition, Samuel Cocar convincedly encourages Evangelicals to rethink their traditional assumptions about eternal life by proposing a biblical alternative labeled ‘conditionalism.’ But he doesn’t leave it at that. Cocar also persuasively describes how our thoughts about the future shape sociopolitical engagement in the present.”

The Development of the Church

Theology

“Philip Schaff is well known for his organic view of church history that he hoped would free American Protestants from anti-Catholicism and encourage them to embrace a vision of the church's progress toward union. The writings collected in this edition support that reputation, and reveal the relevance of Schaff in both his day and ours. This volume is a must-read for those discovering the origin of the ecumenical movement.”
