The Christian Doctrine of God: One Being Three Persons $44.95 “The Trinity is grounded upon God’s historical self-revelation in Jesus Christ. It is presented in this work as teaching which is implicit in the New Testament revelation and in the worship of the Early Church, rather than as a logical derivation from other aspects of Christian doctrine. Adopting an holistic approach, Professor Torrance explains the inter-relatedness of the three Persons – Father, Son the Holy Spirit – and their dynamic Communion in the Triune Being and Nature of God. Combining immense academic range with new theological perspectives, Professor Torrance expounds in a rigorous way the basic teaching of the ancient Catholic Church and builds a significant bridge between ancient and modern, Catholic and Evangelical theology.” |

Studies in Doctrine: Understanding Doctrine, Understanding the Trinity, Understanding Jesus, Justifi $29.99 “In recent years, Alister McGrath has gained prominence as one of evangelicalism’s preeminent theologians. A brilliant scholar and communicator, he combines the clarity of thought of a scientist (he holds a Ph.D. in molecular biology) with the deep convictions of a committed Christian and theologian. Studies in Doctrine contains four of McGrath’s more popular theological works: Understanding Doctrine explains what doctrine is, why it is important, and what its limitations are. Understanding the Trinity moves from a superb apologetic for God’s existence, to developing a concept of God, to a probing and balanced examination of the Trinity proper. Understanding Jesus is a basic, eminently readable, and surprisingly personal introduction to the person and work of Christ. Justification by Faith demonstrates how the vitality and relevance of the doctrine of justification by faith can be recovered and presented to contemporary culture. This volume gives the student and non-specialist a clear, thoughtful, and highly readable introduction to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith.” |

This book was written precisely for people who do not understand such words but who want to understand the Christian faith. Many Christians think that the task of understanding the Bible and Christian doctrine is beyond them, a task reserved for specialists who know Hebrew and Greek and love to throw around “million -dollar words.” As a result, the ordinary person feels left out and hopelessly dependent on the erudition of scholars.Christianity 101 has been written to bridge the gap between biblical scholarship and people who yearn to understand the Christian faith.

The experience is empowering, energizing, and exciting. Homiletic This books strength is in its comprehensiveness; it incorporates a theology of preaching and a concept of biblical and liturgical preaching as inherent to the preaching of theology. . . . Carl brings the best of both seminary and parish to this volume. Word & World This is a be-sure-you-buy-it book if youre still trying to preach Clergy Journal William J. Carl III confronts the problem of using theological language in preaching through a combination of serious theological reflection, rhetorical criticism, cultural analysis, and practical homiletical advice. He examines the approaches of Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Edwards, Barth, and Tillich to determine how these theologians brought life to the pulpit and what todays preachers can learn from them. Preaching Christian Doctrine organizes and describes the various approaches to doctrinal preaching developed throughout the history of the church and across denominational lines, making this volume a unique systematic homiletics text dealing with the problem of preaching Christian doctrine today. William J. Carl III, President of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, was for twenty-two years Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas, and formerly taught Homiletics, Worship, and New Testament Greek at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia.” |

The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine, Volume 5: Christian Doctrine and $23 “Jaroslav Pelikan begins this volume with the crisis of orthodoxy that confronted all Christian denominations by the beginning of the eighteenth century and continues through the twentieth century in its particular concerns with ecumenism. The modern period in the history of Christian doctrine, Pelikan demonstrates, may be defined as the time when doctrines that had been assumed more than debated for most of Christian history were themselves called into question: the idea of revelation, the uniqueness of Christ, the authority of Scripture, the expectation of life after death, even the very transcendence of God. >”Knowledge of the immense intellectual effort invested in the construction of the edifice of Christian doctrine by the best minds of each successive generation is worth having. And there can hardly be a more lucid, readable and genial guide to it than this marvellous work.”–”Economist” >”This volume, like the series which it brings to a triumphant conclusion, may be unreservedly recommended as the best one-stop introduction currently available to its subject.”–Alister E. McGrath, “Times Higher Education Supplement ” >”Professor Pelikan’s series marks a significant departure, and in him we have at last a master teacher.”–Marjorie O’Rourke Boyle, “Commonweal” >”Pelikan’s book marks not only the end of a dazzling scholarly effort but the end of an era as well. There is reason to suppose that nothing quite like it will be tried again.”–Harvey Cox, “Washington Post Book World”" |

The Doctrine of the Christian Life $45.99 “The third volume of Frame’s Theology of Lordship series, this book focuses on biblical ethics. In an age of ethical relativism and suspicion of authority, how can we know what is good, virtuous, or just?

Discussions range from natural law and conflict of duties to detailed explorations of the Ten Commandments in connection with questions surrounding worship, the Sabbath, church and state, respect for life and truth, sexuality, and the relation of Christ to culture.” |

Bible Doctrine : Essential Teachings Of The Christian Faith $32.99 “How do we know the Bible is God’s Word? What is sin and where did it come from? How is Jesus fully God and fully man? What are spiritual gifts? When and how will Christ return? If you’ve asked questions like these, then “systematic theology” is no abstract term. It’s an approach to finding answers every Christian needs to know. Bible Doctrine takes a highly commended upper-level textbook on systematic theology and makes it accessible to the average reader. Abridged from Wayne Grudem’s award-winning Systematic Theology, Bible Doctrine covers the same essentials of the faith, giving you a firm grasp on seven key topics: -The Doctrine of the Word of God – The Doctrine of God – The Doctrine of Man – The Doctrines of Christ and the Holy Spirit – The Doctrine of the Application of Redemption – The Doctrine of the Church – The Doctrine of the Future — Like Systematic Theology, this book is marked by its clarity, its strong scriptural emphasis, its thoroughness in scope and detail, and its treatment of such timely topics as spiritual warfare and the gifts of the Spirit. But you don’t need to have had several years of Bible school to reap the full benefits of Bible Doctrine. It’s easy to understand — and it’s packed with solid, biblical answers to your most important questions.” |

Bound to Sin: Abuse, Holocaust and the Christian Doctrine of Sin $40 “This book discusses the Christian doctrine of sin in relation to sexual abuse of children and the Holocaust, allowing these pathological situations to illuminate and question our understanding of sin. Taking seriously the explanatory power of secular discourses for analyzing and regulating therapeutic action in relation to such situations, the book asks whether the theological language of sin can offer further illumination by speaking of God and the world together.

The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine, Volume 3: The Growth of Medieval $23 “”A magnificent history of doctrine.”–”New York Review of Books” >”In this volume Jaroslav Pelikan continues the splendid work he has done thus far in his projected five-volume history of the development of Christian doctrine, defined as ‘what the Church believes, teaches, and confesses on the basis of the word of God.’ The entire work will become an indispensable resource not only for the history of doctrine but also for its reformulation today. Copious documentation in the margins and careful indexing add to its immense usefulness.”–E. Glenn Hinson, “Christian Century” >”This book is based on a most meticulous examination of medieval authorities and the growth of medieval theology is essentially told in their own words. What is more important, however, then the astounding number of primary sources the author has consulted or his sovereign familiarity with modern studies on his subject, is his ability to discern form and direction in the bewildering growth of medieval Christian doctrine, and, by thoughtful emphasis and selection, to show the pattern of that development in a lucid and persuasive narrative. No one interested in the history of Christianity or theology and no medievalist, whatever the field of specialization, will be able to ignore this magnificent synthesis.”–Bernhard W. Scholz, “History” >”The series is obviously the indispensable text for graduate theological study in the development of doctrine, and an important reference for scholars of religious and intellectual history as well. . . . Professor Pelikan’s series marks a significant departure, and in him we have at last a master teacher.”–Marjorie O’Rourke Boyle, “Commonweal >”" |

George asserts that the ambiguities of Abel’s offering don’t negate the concept of his priesthood.

A Christian theology of suffering in the context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand. $49.99 In Thailand, the Buddhist concept of suffering, especially the doctrine of the Four Noble Truths, governs the understanding of Buddhists and influences the responses of Christians to the reality of human suffering. This dissertation is an attempt to develop a Christian theology of suffering that is relevant to the context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand. This study consists of four chapters. The first chapter is intended to justify the methodology of this dissertation, namely a trinitarian comparative theology of religions. This chapter indicates that a Christian theology of suffering that is relevant to the context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand, yet is faithful to Christian belief must be grounded in both a trinitarian theology of religions and trinitarian comparative theology. Chapter two compares and contrasts the basic Buddhist and Christian understanding of suffering. The purposes of this chapter are to demonstrate the complexity of human suffering and to critically assess the assumption that all forms of suffering are not part of the created order. Chapter three is a comparative study of the Buddhist and Christian understanding of the causes of suffering. This chapter aims to develop a Christian theological understanding of the causes of suffering that is relevant to the context of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand. The final chapter intentionally brings this comparative study to the heart of Buddhalogy and the Christian theology of suffering—the Buddhist and Christian answers to the problem of human suffering. This chapter gives a brief discussion of the Third and Fourth Noble Truths as well as an examination of the Christian understanding of God’s response to the problem of human suffering as found in a theology of the cross. Moreover, this chapter highlights major similarities and differences between Buddhalogy and the Christian theology of suffering, and proposes how Thai Christians should respond to the reality of suffering. |

Al-Yahud $11.4 This most important book examines in depth and with a mastery of the basic documents, the crucial issues of our time. What are the sources of the enmity that drive and justify Jihad in all its forms? Will Judaism and Christianity survive when currently global Islam, supported by the universal Caliphate’s Jihad against Israel enforces its 7th century claim to be the origin of these two faiths? This is the real meaning of the Jihad against Israel.With knowledge, skill and irrefutable scholarship, Al-Maqdisi & Solomon identify and explain the root cause of the Islamic denial of the Jewish and Christian Biblical history, identity and patrimony in the Holy Land. This masterpiece provides a mine of information on the Islamic challenge to Western survival, and should be read by everyone.Professor Bat Ye’or, Author Landmark works include “The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam,” “Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide,” “Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis”Elias Al-Maqdisi & Sam Solomon’s Al-Yahud: Eternal Islamic Enmity & the Jews represents another groundbreaking work from this prolific writing duo. Following Al-Maqdisi/Solomon’s Al-Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration, Al-Yahud uncovers and explains some of the deepest held Islamic doctrinal beliefs supporting the continuous Jihad against the one enemy of Islam that is never forgotten or forgiven-the Jew.In Al-Yahud, the authors literally uncover the root of the problem between the Jews and the Muslims, a problem that manifests itself in the current Middle East conflict, which is currently being framed as a classical land-for-peace issue. Not so, say Al-Maqdisi/Solomon-the problem is forever and will continue to haunt us as long as Muslims continue to believe in Muhammed’s mission to retroactively supersede and claim the origins of Judeo-Christian Monotheism, then to “correct,” and finally to complete the Jewish and Christian revelations.Bjorn Larsen, President |

An Outline Of Orthodox Patristic Dogmatics $10.9 The late Professor John Romanides, a graduate and, subsequently, a Professor of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts (1958-1965), and a Professor of the Aristotle University of Thessalonica, Greece (1968-1984) was one of the most original theologians of Eastern Orthodox Christianity worldwide in the second half of the 20th century. Raised in America and having become familiar with Western Christians, Roman Catholics and Protestants, as well as Western theological scholarship, both through his upbringing and his involvement in the modern Ecumenical Dialogues, he developed a critical and highly original Eastern Orthodox approach to Christian theology. He identified his approach with the Christian Roman ecumene that was centered in Constantinople, New Rome. His views on Christian “Romanity” and “Roman Orthodoxy” have earned him the title of “Prophet of Roman Orthodoxy” and have given rise to a school of committed followers and to much discussion. This book is Romanides’ first Outline of Orthodox Patristic Dogmatics, which is published for the first time in the original Greek and in English translation. It represents a concise introduction into his understanding of the basic tenets of the Eastern Orthodox Faith and its fundamental differences from those of Western (Augustinian or Franco-Latin) Christian theology. It covers such doctrines as God’s relation to the world, the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, the doctrine of Christ, the doctrine of the Church, the Church’s Holy Tradition and the restoration and perfection of humanity in and through this Tradition. It will serve as an introduction into this theologian’s original vision of PatristicOrthodoxy, which is the basis of his reappraisal of Christian theology and history. Its value lies in its concise, coherent and comprehensive character. |

Ancient Laws and Contemporary Controversies: The Need for Inclusive Biblical Interpretation $17.4 The Ten Commandments condone slavery, and Deuteronomy 22 deems the rape of an unmarried woman to injure her father rather than the woman herself. While many Christians ignore most Old Testament laws as obsolete or irrelevant-with others picking and choosing among them in support of specific political and social agendas-it remains a basic tenet of Christian doctrine that the faith is contained in both the Old and the New Testament. If the law is ignored, an important aspect of the faith tradition is denied.In Ancient Laws and Contemporary Controversies, Cheryl B. Anderson tackles this problem head on, attempting to answer the question whether the laws of the Old Testament are authoritative for Christians today. The issue is crucial: some Christians actually believe that the New Testament abolishes the law, or that the Protestant reformers Luther, Calvin, and Wesley rejected the law. Acknowledging the deeply problematic nature of some Old Testament law (especially as it applies to women, the poor, and homosexuals), Anderson finds that contemporary controversies are the result of such groups now expressing their own realities and faith perspectives.Anderson suggests that we approach biblical law in much the same way that we approach the U.S. Constitution. While the nation’s founding fathers-all privileged white men-did not have the poor, women, or people of color in mind when they referred in its preamble to "We the people." Subsequently, the Constitution has evolved through amendment and interpretation to include those who were initially excluded. Although it is impossible to amend the biblical texts themselves, the way in which they are interpreted can-and should-change. With previous scholarship grounded in the Old Testament as well as critical, legal, and feminist theory, Anderson is uniquely qualified to apply insights from contemporary law to the interpretive history of biblical law, and to draw out their implications for issues of gender, |

Biblical Faith: Doctrines Every Christian Should Know $121.93 Why do Christians study doctrine? You might say our faith depends on it. In our culture that promotes a variety of religions and argues that all are equally valid, it is essential that Christians know doctrine. Without sound doctrine, our faith is in danger of being distorted or destroyed.What is Christian doctrine? Simply put, it is what the Christian church throughout history has taught and believed — what separates Christianity from other religions of the world.Biblical Faith is a concise, straightforward explanation of twelve basic doctrines. It begins by discussing what Christians believe about Scripture, then explores doctrines from Creation and the Fall to heaven and hell. It describes the most profound truths of the Bible in a way that is clear and easy to understand. Biblical Faith is perfect for anyone who wants to know more about what is essential to Christian belief. |

Breakfast With The Island Mystic $8.46 Like a wheel without a hub, Western Christianity spins blindly without a sense of its center. Contemporary Christians substitute the written Bible for the Living Word, doctrine for relationships, petty morality for the Spirit’s guidance, and obsession with the Apocalypse for justice and the peaceful unity of humanity.Prepare to be enriched by the depth of author Mike Luedde’s insights into the Christian religion and how it needs to change for the twenty-first century. Breakfast with the Island Mystic: Parables for a New Christianity will challenge you to explore the basic concepts of your faith in new and exciting ways. You will find your heart warmed and your mind spellbound as you meet the Island Mystic and absorb his parables and spiritual reflections. The mysterious Jesus-like figure tells each story to a cynical sailor who is marooned on the Mystic’s island, then invites him and the reader to think deeply about the parable’s meaning. The final chapter explores some of contemporary Christianity’s current difficulties with such concepts as God, Jesus, religion, the church, and prayer.Breakfast with the Island Mystic brings hope, encouragement, and support to those who hunger for intimacy with God but are disillusioned by the spiritual wasteland of today’s churches. |
