Encountering God through the Church

Theology

“Encountering God through the Church provides a thoughtful analysis of why humans need God, how humans can encounter God, and how God meets those needs in the community of faith that we call "church." It is biblically informed, philosophically insightful, and theologically sound. This would be a great volume to give anyone who has doubts about the value of God or his church in one's life.”

Free Will Revisited

Theology

“Robert Picirilli is a seasoned scholar who is one of the best-known advocates of Reformed Arminianism, speaking from his Free Will Baptist tradition. Free Will Revisited carefully articulates the objections that Luther, Calvin, and Edwards present against free will, and provides a compelling defense of free will. Calvinists, Arminians, and those who are undecided will profit from reading his discussion of this vital issue for Christian theology.”

God, Time, and the Incarnation

Theology

“God's relation to time is one of the most fundamental yet most controversial issues in theology. Some theologies that focus almost exclusively on God the Father's relation to time do not provide a fully Trinitarian perspective because they do not adequately account for Jesus' relation to time in the incarnation. Richard Holland's proposal in God, Time, and the Incarnation, which offers an intriguing incarnational alternative to the classical atemporalist view, deserves our thoughtful reflection.”
