IVP Print On Demand Title“Scant decades ago most Westerners agreed that…lifelong monogamy was ideal…mothers should stay home with the children…premarital sex was to be discouraged …heterosexuality was the unquestioned norm…popular culture should not corrupt children. Today not a single one of these expectations is uncontroversial.” So writes Rodney Clapp in assessing the status of the family in postmodern Western society. In response many evangelicals have been quick to defend the so-called traditional family, assuming that it exemplifies the biblical model. Clapp challenges that assumption, arguing that the “traditional” family is a reflection more of the nineteenth-century middle-class family than of any family one can find in Scripture. At the same time, he recognizes that many modern and postmodern options are not acceptable to Christians. Returning to the biblical story afresh, Clapp articulates a challenge to both sides of a critical debate.

Genesis In Space And Time
$20.99Add to cartGenesis is a book of origins – the origin of the universe, the origin of life and the origin of man.

Paul And The Law

Revelation Of John 2
$34.00Add to cart232 Pages/The Revelation Of John, Chapters 6 To 22
Additional Info
THE REVELATION OF JOHN, Volume 2 (Chapters 6 to 22)Here the reader meets many picturesque images that have become part of the very fabric of thinking-the four horses and their riders, the Antichrist, the woman clothed with the sun, the beast with his number, Armageddon, the great harlot, the Millennium, the new Jerusalem. These and many other images drawn from the Revelation have so seized hold of the world’s imagination that without them a good share of our best art would never have been created. Because so many of John’s prophetic utterances relate to Rome, Dr. Barclay devotes many pages to describing the great city as it was under the early Caesars.

Letters To The Galatians And Ephesians
$34.00Add to cart185 Pages/Galatians (6 Chapters), Ephesians (6 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE LETTERS TO THE GALATIANS AND EPHESIANSThe Letter to the Galatians proclaims that Christianity was dependent upon nothing but God’s free gift of grace, bestowed on all who would accept that gift by faith, Gentile and Jew alike. Because it declares this universality and confutes the Judaizing Christians, the letter is one of the great theological cornerstones of Christianity, according to Dr. Barclay. The Letter to the Ephesians, “The Queen of the Epistles,” was a circular letter to the Christian churches generally. The main theme is the universal battle between good and evil, and the ultimate unity to be achieved only when all things are gathered together in Christ.
