Liturgy Trap
$8.95Add to cartWe hear all too often that someone has decided to leave the Evangelical Christian faith and join the Church of Rome, or Eastern Orthodoxy, or High Anglicanism. The lure is liturgy and tradition, and since the Evangelical and Reformed churches so often have such poor worship, it is not hard to understand the pull exercised by those churches that have a heritage of formality, sobriety, and beauty.
This cure, however, is far worse than the disease. The answer to the weaknesses of Evangelicalism is not a run toward the fallacies and errors of Rome, Orthodoxy, and Anglo-Catholicism, but a return to biblical patterns of worship.
Just as there is true and false doctrine, so there are true and false worship patterns. In this book, James B. Jordan sorts out the true and the false in the area of worship practice, discussing the cult of the saints, the veneration of icons, apostolic succession, virginity and celibacy, the presence of Christ at His Supper, and the doctrine of tradition.

Vindication Of Jesus Christ
$8.95Add to cartAlthough Revelation is said to give a blessing to those who read it and hear it (Revelation 1:3), it often results in confusion as well.
Revelation is applicable to all times and occasions in the Church, and because of that it has been interpreted as predicting many different events in history. Naturally, these interpretations all contradict one another, which leads many believers to decide that the book is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, and that efforts to understand it are a waste of time.
In fact, however, Revelation is not all that difficult to interpret. It completes the history begun in the book of Acts, and is closely tied to everything else that is going on in the apostolic age. It deals with the end of the Old Creation and the ful arrival of the New, and then looks forward to the final return of Jesus and the bodily resurrection at the end of history.

Primeval Saints : Studies In The Patriarchs Of Genesis
$14.00Add to cartJames Jordan reveals the fascinating weave of lives that bind together the heroes and villains of Genesis, as they progressively image and reverse one another in an ascending narrative of action, a narrative all too commonly broken apart and missed. And yet this book is not just about the heroes of Genesis. Throughout, Jordan draws a picture of how Christian culture should be imagined and lived in our own day, from creativity and work to tyranny and freedom. You will never be able to read Genesis in the same way again.
