Past Event And Present Salvation
$46.00How can an event that has taken place in the past have an effect upon the human experience of salvation in the present? In examining one of the essential questions of the Christian faith, Paul S. Fiddes explores the limits as well as the gains to be made in speaking about crucifixion as a historical event, and considers the relationship of the crucifixion to the continuing process of God’s saving activity. He considers the relevance of a past act of atonement to such areas of practical experience as forgiveness, liberation, and suffering.

Naked Public Square (Reprinted)
$33.99The Naked Public Square is a book about religious politics and political religion. Politics and religion are different enterprises, and it is understandable that many people would like to keep them as separate as possible. But they are constantly coupling and getting quite mixed up with one another. There is nothing new about this. It seems likely that it has always been the case in all societies. This is a large-minded book, and its sophistication and intelligence advance our understanding of the religion/politics issue far beyond the confusions and incomprehensions that dominate most discussions of the subject.

ALL THE DOCTRINES OF THE BIBLEA Study and Analysis of Major Bible Doctrines
All the Doctrines of the Bible is a study and analysis of the major Bible doctrines. Says Professor F. F. Bruce in his foreword, “Dr. Lockyer, out of his long experience and ripe wisdom, has written a book which will help many to understand the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith. It will not take the place of the Bible, but will prove of greatest use to those who study it along with an open Bible. The Bible is intended to be much more than a handbook of divinity. But with minds like ours we can learn the Bible doctrines more readily as someone systematizes them for us in a logical sequence, and this is what Dr. Lockyer has done in these pages.”

Continuity And Discontinuity
$35.00Evangelicals agree that the Bible is God’s inerrant word. But we sometimes differ on how to relate the messages of the Old and New Testaments. Without a basic understanding of this crucial matter, it is difficult to know how to use the Testament to formulate either doctrine or practice. For example: Was Israel the OT Church – are OT promises to God’s national people fulfilled in the church today? Or, is Mosaic Law binding in believers now – are twentieth-century Christians to obey the Ten Commandments, including sabbath observance? In this book, thirteen noted evangelical theologians discuss, fairly but clearly, the continuity/discontinuity debate in regard to six basic categories: theological systems, hermeneutics, salvation, the Law of God, the people of God, and kingdom promises. Covering much more than the differences between Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism, this work of distinguished evangelical scholarship will fuel much profitable study and discussion.

Israels Praise : Doxology Against Idolatry And Ideology
$43.33196 Paages
Additional Info
“Praise is the duty and delight, the ultimate vocation of the human community; indeed of all creation. Yes, all life is aimed toward God and finally exists for the sake of God. Praise articulates and embodies our capacity to yield, submit, and abandon ourselves in trust and gratitude to the One whose we are. Praise is not only a human requirement and a human need, it is also a human delight. We have a resilient hunger to move beyond self, to return our energy and worth to the One from whom it has been granted. In our return to that One, we find our deepest joy. That is what it means to ‘glorify God and enjoy God forever.'” At the time of this publication, Walter Brueggemann was McPheeder Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Apologia A Print On Demand Title
$29.99Apologia is about contemporary theological education – its current state and its future. While many current trends in seminaries and departments of theology bring important new insights to the study of religion, says Max Stackhouse, they also erode – sometimes unwittingly – the capacity to speak of God, truth, and justice with warranted confidence. Theology is thereby undermined in all arenas – not only in academia, but in the life of the church and society.
This book not only exposes the frailties of several current ideologies, but also draws noted scholars from five continents and a seminary faculty into an interdisciplinary discussion of the most significant recent literature on theological education. The results are fresh proposals for the reconstructing of theological education on foundations that are contextually alert, globally concerned, and mission- oriented.
Apologia is a ground-breaking work, a book that begins and ends in dialogue, and points toward the ways in which Christian theology will have to redefine itself if it is to actively shape, and not merely reflect, the context in which we live.

Christian Story Volume 2 A Print On Demand Title
$33.99As a pastoral systematic, The Christian Story rises from, and strives to be a resource to, the life and witness of the church and its leadership. The first volume (revised edition, 1984) offered an introductory overview of the basic Christian doctrine.
Now turning his attention to the individual doctrines, Gabriel Fackre here surveys a spectrum of views on authority – from inerrantist to experientialist – and sets forth an alternative perspective along ecumenical and narrative lines. The author’s search for a full-orbed position affirms Scripture as the source, the church and its traditions as resource, the world of human experience as setting, the Gospel as substance, and Christ as the center of authority.
A detailed analysis of hermeneutical issues is included in the book. The quest for evangelical catholicity leads to a restatement of the fourfold method of scriptural interpretation: common sense, critical scholarship, canonical perspective, and the contextualization process – personal and social. An extensive exegesis of a key Christological text, John 14:6, illustrates how this method works.

Inclusive Language In The Church
$22.00INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE IN THE CHURCH is a good introduction to questions about language use today. Issues in the current debate are addressed fairly. This is not a battle cry for the feminist movement but rather a solid introduction to the whole discussion. Hardesty hopes to convince us that inclusive language is appropriate in Christian theology and worship. Nancy Hardesty maintains that the use of inclusive language goes to the very heart of the gospel. She examines biblical references to God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and human beings. From these she argues that God speaks through Scripture and shows how the metaphors for God and various descriptions of God speak to a variety of human needs.

Hilary Osborne has put Henry Beveridge’s translation “in simpler and more modern English.”
The result is “a selection from the Institutes which is manageable for the average modern reader, in terms of length and of intelligibility.” Lane reminds us that Calvin designed the Institutes “to be a practical book …. He requires of all doctrine that it be scriptural and that it be useful for Christian living.”

Great Reversal A Print On Demand Title
$29.99There is no denying, writes Allen Verhey, that churches today are called to discern the shape and style of life “worth of the gospel of Christ” in the twentieth century. Even in the face of changing situations and new moral problems to address, the contemporary church stands self-consciously in a tradition of which the New testament is a normative part.
In this major new study of New Testament ethics, Verhey examines first of all the ethic of Jesus, for it is there that the tradition begins. He then analyzes the different forms in which the early church handed down the memory of Jesus’ words and deeds in the development of a moral tradition. Next he deals with that tradition as it came to canonical expression in the New Testament writings.
In the last part of the book Verhey focuses on the use of the New Testament in the continuing moral tradition of the church, surveying proposals for the use of Scripture, identifying the critical methodological questions, and defending a “modest proposal” for the use of Scripture.

$48.33Patrick D.

He pays special attention to the poetic features of the psalms so as to aid the task of understanding their meaning. In Part Two, he offers extended expositions of ten specific Psalms — 1, 2, 14, 22, 23, 82, 90, 127, 130, and 139. These Psalms are interpreted with an eye to theological and pastoral issues and with a sensitivity to their features and to their significance as Christian Scripture.
