Theology Of Matthews Gospel
$69.99A Theology of Matthew’s Gospel develops the perspective that Matthew wrote his Gospel to identify, defend, and proclaim Jesus Immanuel, “God with us,” as the Davidic Messiah who fulfilled the OT expectations of humanity’s redemption. Matthew’s Gospel establishes Jesus’s identity as the heir to the promises of Israel’s throne through king David, and heir to the promises of blessing to all the nations through the patriarch Abraham (1:1). So, this first Gospel offers evangelistic hope in Jesus’s message of the gospel to Jews, contending that they should turn to Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah (Matt 11:2-6). But, strikingly, Matthew’s Gospel also offers evangelistic hope to Gentiles, emphasizing that salvation through Jesus Messiah is available to all the nations (28:19).
The book emphasizes the three horizons that comprise Matthew’s gospel: history, theology, and literature. The first horizon focuses on Jesus’s historical ministry. Here Matthew provides for us a record of God’s activities in history in the arrival of Jesus Messiah and the kingdom of heaven. The second horizon develops Matthew’s theological perspective for his audience(s). Here we attempt to understand and isolate Matthew’s unique theological perspective of God’s activities in Jesus Messiah. This is a central focus, emphasizing Matthew’s theological perspective of the Old Testament, Christology, the kingdom of heaven, discipleship, the Church/church, Israel (past, present, and future), the death and resurrection of Jesus, mission/commission, and eschatology/eternity. The third horizon emphasizes today’s reader(s) engaging with Matthew’s Gospel as literature. Here we attempt to capture the significance of the perspective of today’s reader’s understanding of Jesus Messiah’s activities in history and Matthew’s theological perspective for the contemporary church.
In this book we view Matthew’s perspective of God’s activities in Jesus’s unfolding earthly ministry. The alternating sections of narrative and discourse provide for his readers Jesus’s example to follow and Jesus’s words to obey. Therefore, Matthew’s Gospel is at least in part a manual on discipleship to Jesus Messiah in the kingdom of heaven. In the six Narratives, Matthew reveals Jesus’s true identity in his deeds, and introduces themes that will lead to instructions to Jesus’s disciples in the Discourses. The six Narratives provide the example that Jesus’s disciples are commanded to obey. In the five Discourses, Matthew rec

Complete London Writings
$54.99An intimate account of spiritual death and resurrection
The Complete London Writings present the spiritual and theological journal of a man revived by God’s word. German philosopher Johann Georg Hamann, destitute and depressed in London in 1758, bought a King James Bible on impulse. Within a month of reading it cover to cover, he was convicted of his sin and converted to Christ. His reading inspired him to write meditations on the entire Bible and reexamine the course of his life.
In these Writings, Hamann reflects on his life, the Scriptures, and faith. A combination of autobiography, philosophy, theology, and biblical exegesis, Hamann’s work has been compared to Augustine’s Confessions. Translated into English for the first time by John W. Kleinig, The Complete London Writings bring Hamann’s thought to a new audience.

Gospel After Christendom
$26.99Even after Christendom, our culture is fertile ground for gospel renewal. We need apologetics for the whole church tailored to this moment.
Since the fall of Christendom, Christians in Western countries can no longer assume their neighbors share basic familiarity with the Bible or even a sense for God. We now face a strange mixture of apathy and antagonism toward the gospel. Some people view Christianity as yesterday’s news. For others, it’s the source of today’s problems. Lately, though, more and more are open to the idea that Christianity may be tomorrow’s hope.
Amid these confusing and conflicting shifts, we need apologetics for the whole church and not just for those who enjoy arguing. Cultural apologetics can help uncover opportunities to proclaim the gospel as the only way to fulfill longings for truth, beauty, and goodness. Churches that embrace this approach can be strengthened and renewed as they demonstrate an appealing and convicting way of life that stands out in the world.
In The Gospel after Christendom, scholars and practitioners from the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics define cultural apologetics, explain its biblical and historical grounding, and demonstrate its importance for the church today. Their diverse viewpoints, united in the gospel, offer a balanced approach that can guide Christians to share the Good News with their neighbors in this challenging but exciting time.

In Your Light We See Light
$34.99“And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” -John 17:3
In Your Light We See Light: A Reformed Theology of Divine Illumination argues that the doctrine of illumination is Trinitarian and participatory. We cannot know God apart from God. The Triune God transfers us from darkness to light, so we may see him, ourselves, and the world anew. Illumination is not merely cognitive; it turns a heart of stone into a heart of flesh. It involves life with God-hearing and being transformed by God’s word.
Paul C. Uyen begins with Scripture before retrieving the doctrine of illumination from Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Reformed traditions, and revealing their areas of tension. Uyen articulates a Reformed perspective in conversation with other traditions.

God Who Is For Us
$34.99How should we think about God? For Christianity, God is not merely the transcendent source and creator of the world; God is also immanently involved in creation, sustaining, upholding, and intervening in the cosmos in order to save and redeem beloved creatures. God is for us.
The inaugural Scottish Dogmatics Conference explores this dimension of the character and nature of God in dialogue with Scripture and the Christian tradition and in pursuit of constructive theology for today.

Story Of God And Us
$19.99Pastor and author Jonathan Murphy provides readers with a framework–a master plot–to the story of all history. This deep exploration of Scripture reveals that God is in complete command of this universe and how He guides everyone’s story: past, present, and future.
Good stories make you laugh, cry, fear, dream, hope. They engage our hearts, entertain our minds, and enlighten our souls. God wrote a story–the best story ever!–full of drama, adventure, love, sacrifice, redemption, and has an ending that seems too good to be true. And the greatest thing about God’s story is that we are all part of it. His story provides the meaning of life that brings fulfillment of our desires and purpose for our existence.?
The Story of God and Us shows not only what God is doing from creation to eternity, but how everything makes sense as you read the Bible from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. World history is not made up of random people and events but of divine appointment and purpose. In this book, Jonathan Murphy leads readers to understand how:
*the meaning of life is essential to a fulfilling relationship and partnership with God;
*God accomplishes His plans in a pleasing and connecting way;
*a multidimensional view of Scripture can engage and delight even the most disinterested and distracted; and
*seeing the big picture can provide a fresh look at how our story clearly fits into God’s.
As Jonathan retells God’s story through a fresh lens, Christians will better understand how much God loves them, how He desires us to live with Him and for Him, and why we should invite others into this amazing story every chance that we get!

Gospel Way Catechism
$15.99Reclaiming an Ancient Tool of Faith Formation for Our Secular Age
In a world overflowing with competing ideas about meaning and purpose, it’s more important than ever to embrace the gospel story as the ultimate lens through which we understand life.
For centuries, Christians have relied on catechisms–question-and-answer summaries of faith–to teach the faith and disciple new believers. The Gospel Way Catechism reclaims this powerful practice, explaining 50 essential Christian beliefs in a clear, Q&A format.
But it doesn’t stop there. Each answer not only clarifies the core tenets of faith, but also equips you to identify and challenge today’s common, yet powerful, cultural narratives. As you are formed by biblical answers to essential questions about God, life, and faith, you will also be counter-formed so you can identify the shortcomings of secular scripts and subvert them with the gospel.
Suitable for individual, group, and church-wide study, this discipleship tool provides an effective antidote to Western culture’s inherent self-centeredness. Let this guide strengthen your faith and empower you to be salt and light in a culture desperate for meaning.

Sharing Christ In Joy And Sorrow
$21.99An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of Philippians
“To live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). This bold and countercultural statement captures the central message of Philippians. In this New Testament letter, Paul offers practical advice for godly living and encourages believers to stay connected to the gospel amid hardship. Because the church shares in the sufferings of Christ, believers can experience joy even in suffering as they wait for the Lord to make all things new.
In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, author Chris Bruno explores the theology and themes of Philippians and highlights how this letter fits into broader biblical theology. Through clear and engaging examinations, Bruno expounds on predominant themes–the church’s union with Christ, the church as ambassadors of the kingdom, the gospel proclaimed and opposed, the hope of life with Christ, and suffering with joy.
For Those Interested in Biblical Theology: Ideal for college and seminary students, pastors, and professors
Helpful Bible Study Resource: A great companion to commentaries on Philippians

Jesus Shaped Life
$26.99When many of us hear the word theology, we conjure up visions of stuffy old guys in dark clothing, scratching a pen across paper (or maybe a quill across parchment!) and assume that it’s not for us. But at its most basic, theology is just words ( logos) about God ( theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important part of our lives–our good, loving, and grace-filled God.
With her signature style and humor, bestselling Bible teacher Lisa Harper invites you into this life-changing conversation. She makes theology fun, practical, and applicable, explaining how academic-sounding concepts–such as imago Dei, atonement, the Trinity, the transcendence and immanence of Christ, and much more–are actually daily realities that make an enormous difference in how we live our lives, how we treat other people, and how we understand our own relationship to our Creator.
If you want to grow closer to God and take a more active role in your community of faith, it’s time to take your understanding of God to the next level with sound theology rooted in Scripture. Let Lisa be your (very entertaining) guide!

Foremost Problems Of Contemporary Dogmatics
$49.99Herman Bavinck on the challenges theologians face
*Herman Bavinck’s counsel to theologians
*A unique window into Bavinck’s thought
*An overlooked work from a key Neo-Calvinist thinkerIn The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics, Herman Bavinck identifies the primary challenges confronting Protestant theologians in the early twentieth century. Since the main difficulties do not concern specific heads of doctrine but arise in theological method, Bavinck’s focus narrows to the act of faith. Bavinck demonstrates the necessity of viewing faith as knowledge rather than mere trust, recounting the development of doctrine from the biblical authors through the dawn of the twentieth century. This book provides a unique window into Bavinck’s thought, as he speaks candidly about the limitations and failures of Reformed theology and the relative merits of modern thinkers.
The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics was a series of lectures delivered at the Free University shortly after Bavinck moved to Amsterdam in 1902. Edited and translated by Gert de Kok and Bruce R. Pass, these previously unpublished lectures are available for the first time in English.

Steadfast Love Of The Lord
$21.99A Clear, Biblical Picture of God’s Unconditional Love for His Children
Many believers know that “God is love.” But whether through cultural lies, false beliefs, or years of mulling over the tragedies of the world, it may be difficult to see the true, steadfast, and unchanging love of the Father. Thankfully the Bible offers a clear picture of what God’s love looks like and how, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, believers experience his affection for themselves.
Taking an accessible approach to biblical theology, author Sam Storms explores Scripture to address what God’s love is and what it isn’t. Drawing insights from the Psalms and the life of Jesus, Storms covers God’s sovereignty and the saving power, longevity, and sin-killing nature of his love. The Steadfast Love of the Lord breaks down obstacles that prevent believers from accepting biblical truths and challenges the cultural lies that hinder them from accepting God’s vast and unfathomable love.
*Accessible: An introductory approach to biblical theology, this book is perfect for laypeople and thoughtful Christians
*Practical: Not only helps believers study the nature of God but helps them experience his affection for themselves
*Honest: From a biblical perspective, this book addresses the cultural lies of our age to explain what love is and what it isn’t

Church In Dark Times
$19.99We expect evil to appear in obvious forms: malice, cruelty, and contempt. We also expect to find villains at the helm of evil movements and organizations, leaders with dark impulses and motivations. But all too often, malevolence is more subtle, hiding behind our own best intentions.
In The Church in Dark Times, cultural critic Mike Cosper unveils this dynamic in the growing crisis of abuse and other failures in modern evangelical churches. Drawing on the work of twentieth-century political theorist Hannah Arendt, Cosper explores what we can learn from her theory of the “banality of evil”–the thoughtlessness that allows ordinary people to become complicit in all manner of corruption. He uncovers the underlying causes of the breakdowns of the church and offers practices that foster healing and renewal.
This book will engage Christian leaders and all followers who want to better understand how church crises keep happening–and how we can resist them and move forward.

Triumph Of The Rising
$14.99New book series from bestselling author John MacArthur on the great chapters of the Bible
Taken from the MacArthur New Testament Commentary on 1 Corinthians, this book equips believers with transforming truth by explaining Paul’s treatment of the doctrine of the resurrection. Chapters include:
*The Evidence for Christ’s Resurrection
*The Importance of Bodily Resurrection
*The Resurrection Plan
*Resurrection Incentives
*Our Resurrection Bodies
*Victory Over DeathIn 1 Corinthians 15, Paul delivers the most extensive treatment of the resurrection in all of Scripture. As the heart pumps life-giving blood to every part of the body, so the truth of the resurrection gives life to every area of gospel truth.
The resurrection is the pivot on which all of Christianity turns and without which none of the other truths would much matter. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Christianity would be mere wishful thinking, taking its place alongside all other systems of human philosophy and religious speculation. Paul, however, declares that Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, therefore all who are in Christ Jesus will also be raised to life.

God Has A Name
$25.99What you believe about God sets the foundation of the person you will become.
In God Has a Name, pastor and New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer invites you to rethink many of the prevalent myths and misconceptions about God and weigh them against what God actually tells us about himself. After all, what you believe about God will ultimately shape the type of person you become.
We all live at the mercy of our ideas, and nowhere is this more true than our ideas about God. The problem is many of our ideas about God are wrong. Not all wrong, but wrong enough to form our souls in detrimental and disheartening ways.
God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light–focusing on what God says about himself in the Bible. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way.
John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8–Yahweh’s self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including:
*Why do we feel this gap between us and God?
*Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him?
*What if our “God” is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires?
*What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine?
No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, God Has a Name invites you to step into a fresh and biblically rooted vision of who God is that has the potential to alter your life with God and shape who you become.

This is a book about real people with real bodies enjoying close relationships with God and each other, eating, drinking, working, playing, traveling, worshiping, and discovering on a New Earth. Earth as God created it. Earth as he intended it to be.
The next time you hear someone say, “We can’t begin to image what Heaven will be like,” you’ll be able to tell them, “I can.”

Crisis Of Civil Law
$22.99How should Christians think about law?
In every age, this is one of the most difficult questions faced by followers of Christ. Within the modern church, there is little unity on how Scripture addresses issues like gun control, abortion, and disobedience of an unjust law. In The Crisis of Civil Law, legal scholar Benjamin B. Saunders draws from Scripture and Christian tradition to provide valuable guidance on contemporary legal questions and the role of civil government. We can gain greater clarity by wisely applying the moral law found in Scripture–as well as the universal standards of the natural law–to the changing circumstances of human societies.
The Crisis of Civil Law includes detailed discussion of the biblical material on law as well as practical case studies that contextualize scriptural principles in modern Western society.

Understanding My Brother
$19.99Why is there such endless strife between the Muslim and the Christian world, despite the Quaran endorsing Jesus Christ, His immaculate conception by the Holy Spirit and expecting Muslims to believe His message?
Today the Muslim world fails to recognize what exactly is the message of Jesus Christ and His role in securing eternity for mankind.
Both Muslims and Christians are largely ignorant what the other believes and why there is still relentless tension on the earth.
This book focuses on the fundamental irreconcilable differences between the Christian and Islamic faiths, that are rooted in the texts of the Quran and Bible, and is written from experience in both faiths.

1 God One Way Christ Or Muhammad
$24.99The promise and importance of God’s Messiah is undisputedly acknowledged by the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims.
Who is this Messiah?
The Bible and the Quran both recognizes Christ Jesus as the promised Messiah and directs their followers to accept the Gospel brought to mankind through Him. However, while the Quran commands to recognize the teachings of Jesus, an average Muslim remains unknowledgable to Christ’s proclamation and promises.
The big divide is that Jesus claims to be divine and the Bible declares Him to be God incarnate. However, Islam is only willing to credit Christ as a mortal man, a prophet with a message from God (Allah) but not God himself.
This book unravels the Islamic precepts pertaining to Jesus in the Quran itself, while bluntly showcases the bold statements of divinity and the offering of one singular path to man’s eternal salvation made by Christ Jesus.

How Should We Then Die
$18.99“My times are in thy hand.”
*Explains why physician-assisted death is attractive
*Makes a case for the value of life and wrongness of killing
*Argues from general revelation and Scripture
*Helps Christians undercut the logic of euthanasiaAs more people accept the practice of physician-assisted death, Christians must decide whether to embrace or oppose it. Is it ethical for physicians to assist patients in hastening their own death? Should Christians who are facing death accept the offer of an assisted death?
In How Should We then Die?, physician Ewan Goligher draws from general revelation and Scripture to persuade and equip Christians to oppose physician-assisted death. Euthanasia presumes what it is like to be dead. But for Christians, death is not the end. Christ Jesus has destroyed death and brought life and immortality through the gospel.

Fundamentalists In The Public Square
$29.99A myth-busting work on fundamentalists and culture
The Scopes Trial of 1925 is often regarded as a turning point in the history of American fundamentalism and evangelicalism. It is claimed that Scopes was a public relations defeat that sent fundamentalism into retreat from mainstream culture.
In Fundamentalists in the Public Square: Evolution, Alcohol, and the Culture Wars after the Scopes Trial, Madison Trammel argues that such a characterization is misguided. Using documentary evidence from newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s, Trammel shows that fundamentalists remained fully active in seeking to transform the culture for Christ, and they remained so through the rise of Billy Graham’s ministry.
Grounded in historical evidence, Fundamentalists in the Public Square offers a fresh take on the relationship between fundamentalism, evangelicalism, and the public square.

Finding Assurance With Thomas Goodwin
$18.99Glory in nothing but that you are in Christ
In Finding Assurance with Thomas Goodwin, Andrew S. Ballitch explores how deeply the doctrine of assurance of faith impacted Goodwin’s life and how Christians can learn from him today. Doubt is a common Christian experience, and assurance of faith is a universal Christian desire. The Puritans were acutely aware of this reality–none more than Thomas Goodwin (1600-1680). Goodwin wrestled with doubt for seven years after his conversion. When assurance came, it was with joy and confidence that Christ was for him personally. His confidence fueled a life of holiness, service, and perseverance. Ballitch highlights how Goodwin’s life informed his theology and vice versa, so that readers can experience for themselves the joys of assurance.

Christ The Center
$32.99Scripture is a beautiful mosaic of Christ.
The earliest Christians expressed their faith with creativity through symbols and summaries. In Christ the Center, Tomas Bokedal explores the relationship of the rule of faith, the nomina sacra, and numerical patterns with Scripture. The nomina sacra scribal reverence for divine names within Scripture displays remarkable intentionality and theological reflection. The nomina sacra in turn directed the emerging rule of faith. These scribal practices reveal early devotional and theological preoccupation and guided the text’s shape and interpretation in the early centuries after Christ.
Christ the Center showcases early Christian reverence for Scripture and especially for the One of whom Scripture speaks.

Theos Starter Pack
$24.98Recovering…Timeless Truths
Like an online starter pack meme, Theos Starter Pack: Toward a Recovery of Essential Christianity is designed to provoke a response.
The book includes twenty essays by a motley crew of Bible geeks who are all active in church ministry and teach at TheosU, an online, nondenominational Bible college.

This book is a lifeline “to pull yourself out of the soup.”
You may laugh. You may run to your Bible. You may reach out to one of the writers to share a few choice words. But no matter what, these essayists hope you will be inspired and come away with rich theological insights.
Theos Starter Pack recovers beautiful elements of ancient Christianity that have been lost or shoved aside in modern society. It’s food for the souls of those who long for a return to the roots of our faith.

Biblical Trinity : Encountering The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit In Scriptu
$22.99The Trinity is God as revealed in the Bible.
The Bible doesn’t give us a systematic statement of the doctrine of the Trinity. But that doesn’t mean the Trinity is not biblical.
In The Biblical Trinity: Encountering the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Scripture, Brandon D. Smith proclaims the Trinity from the Bible. The doctrine arises not from a handful of prooftexts but from the fullness of what the Bible says about God. Through short reflections on fifteen key New Testament passages in conversation with the Old Testament, Smith shows how God’s word reveals the Trinity. The book concludes with three rules for how to encounter the truth and beauty of our Triune God in all of Scripture.

After Dispensationalism : Reading The Bible For The End Of The World
$29.99What God wants his people to know about the end times.
Christians’ fixation on the end times is not new. While eschatological speculation has sometimes resulted in distraction or despair, Scripture does speak about the end. So what does God most want us to know and do with prophecy?
In After Dispensationalism, Brian P. Irwin and Tim Perry sympathetically yet critically sketch the history, beliefs, and concerns of dispensationalism. Though a minority view in the sweep of church history and tradition, dispensationalism is one of the most influential end-times systems today, and there is much to learn from it. And yet, sometimes it gets sidetracked by overlooking the prophets’ main concerns.
Irwin and Perry reexamine the key texts and show that Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation primarily give a word of hope to God’s people.

Bulwarks Of Unbelief
$32.99How modernity creates atheists–and what the church must do about it.
Millions of people in the West identify as atheists. Christians often respond to this reality with proofs of God’s existence, as though rational arguments for atheism were the root cause of unbelief. In Bulwarks of Unbelief, Joseph Minich argues that a felt absence of God, as experienced by the modern individual, offers a better explanation for the rise in atheism. Recent technological and cultural shifts in the modern West have produced a perceived challenge to God’s existence. As modern technoculture reshapes our awareness of reality and belief in the invisible, it in turn amplifies God’s apparent silence. In this new context, atheism is a natural result. And absent of meaning from without, we have turned within.
Christians cannot escape this aspect of modern life. Minich argues that we must consciously and actively return to reality. If we reattune ourselves to God’s story, reintegrate the whole person, and reinhabit the world, faith can thrive in this age of unbelief.

Gain a fresh appreciation for the ancient confession with Phillip Cary’s help.

Knowledge Of God In The World And The Word Workbook (Workbook)
$23.99Amid the crisis of authority in our modern and postmodern era, Christians need to be able to point to God’s revelation in the natural world in addition to defending God’s unique revelation in the Bible and in the person of Jesus Christ.
Classical apologetics takes a two-step approach to commending the Christian picture of reality. First, arguments for the existence of God, such as those of natural theology, are employed to create common ground with people outside the household of the Christian faith and to provide intellectual support for Christians. Second, classical apologetics defends key items of Christian revelation, including the reliability of the Bible, the identity of the historical Jesus, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
In the Knowledge of God in the World and the Word Workbook, designed to be used alongside the Knowledge of God in the World and the Word textbook by authors Douglas Groothuis and Andrew I. Shepardson, students are guided through learning exercises that introduce them to classical apologetics and to innovative defenses of natural theology.

Neo-Calvinism produced rich theological work that yields promise for contemporary dogmatics. This book invites readers into this rich theological trajectory.

Tolkien Dogmatics : Theology Through Mythology With The Maker Of Middle-Ear
$26.99Theology through mythology
J. R. R. Tolkien was many things: English Catholic, father and husband, survivor of two world wars, Oxford professor, and author. But he was also a theologian. Tolkien’s writings exhibit a coherent theology of God and his works, but Tolkien did not present his views with systematic arguments. Rather, he expressed theology through story.
In Tolkien Dogmatics, Austin M. Freeman inspects Tolkien’s entire corpus–The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and beyond–as a window into his theology. In his stories, lectures, and letters, Tolkien creatively and carefully engaged with his Christian faith. Tolkien Dogmatics is a comprehensive manual of Tolkien’s theological thought arranged in traditional systematic theology categories, with sections on God, revelation, creation, evil, Christ and salvation, the church, and last things. Through Tolkien’s imagination, we reencounter our faith.
