Description
In his preface to God's Way of Holiness, Horatius Bonar makes the case that "the way of peace and the way of holiness lie side by side; or rather, they are one." If we as Christians want to have peace, we must have holiness. And if we want to have holiness, we must first have peace with God.
Peace & Holiness combines Bonar's two classic devotionals on these twin subjects, God's Way of Peace and God's Way of Holiness. In short and simple chapters,...

The term "extensivism" describes my position regarding the doctrine of salvation. Specifically, extensivism believes that man was created in the image of God with otherwise choice; God's salvation plan involves an all-inclusive unconditional offer of salvation to every person, reception of which is conditioned upon grace-enabled faith rather than Calvinism's exclusive plan of a limited actual offer of salvation to only the unconditionally elected....

This book explores God's love, how it is different from other kinds of love, and walks the reader through how that defines and constrains him. Of all character traits, justice and mercy require God to submit himself for justice on our behalf. God is both the judge and the convicted defendant in the person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who stands representing all mankind. He is the link between justice and mercy, without which we would be, separated...

Why is the Bible so violent and bloody?
How can God's behavior in the Old Testament be reconciled with that of Jesus in the New?
Do you find yourself trying to rationalize God's violent demeanor in the Bible to unbelievers or even to yourself?
Does it seem disconcerting that God tells us not to kill others but He then takes part in some of the bloodiest wars and vindictive genocides in history?
The answer to all such questions is found in Jesus...

¿Quién gobierna todas las cosas?
La situación actual exige a gritos un nuevo examen y una nueva presentación de la omnipotencia, suficiencia y soberanía de Dios. Es preciso que desde todos los púlpitos se predique a gran voz que Dios vive todavía, y que todavía reina. La fe está actualmente sometida a la prueba del fuego, y no hay lugar alguno de reposo firme y suficiente para el corazón y la mente sino en el Trono de Dios. Lo que ahora...

Gospel of the Absurd is a project that originates in the anarchic experiences of a crack cocaine addict who was knocked off his high horse by an experience of Jesus. Having spent years as an enemy of the faith, R. Scot Miller came back to faith with the passion of a new convert infused with a subversive's heart for turning the world upside down. In the process of stumbling every bit as much as he learned to walk in the light, Miller begins to understand...

The cross has always been portrayed as the means of salvation and forgiveness for sinners, but does it have anything to say to those who have been sinned against? This book shows that the atonement of Christ has powerful potential to speak to those who have been wronged, especially those who have been abused and abandoned in countless ways-those who cower at the back side of the cross wondering if they are included. As victims of various kinds of...

Is faith in Jesus enough for salvation? Perhaps, says Matthew Bates, but we're missing pieces of the gospel. The biblical gospel can never change. Yet our understanding of the gospel must change. The church needs an allegiance shift.
Popular pastoral resources on the gospel are causing widespread confusion. Bates shows that the biblical gospel is different, fuller, and more beautiful than we have been led to believe. He explains that saving faith...

Jesus described a divine separation from sinners in Luke 16 as the "great gulf fixed". Man's "free will" created it. This book examines God's repeated enforcement of the "great gulf" separation upon sinful mankind through history. It is demonstrated through the accounts of:
The closed gate of Eden.
The closed door of Noah's Ark.
The closed communications by the confusion of languages.
The closed direct fellowship with God through Abraham.
The...

The doctrine of predestination is an important starting point for the study of Christian theology thought from a Reformed theological perspective. This doctrine is essential because it is one of the central themes from the Bible that has been the reason for many debates among many theologians in the history of the church. Despite the different views held by mainline Protestant theologians like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Jacobus Arminus, this...

A simple, uncluttered faith in Christ to the glory of God alone: what Luther discovered in Scripture changed the world. It can change you, too.
As he approached the final decade of his life, Martin Luther observed that the beginning and end of all his theology was simple faith in Christ. This faith in Christ brought peace and joy to his soul, and also turned 1500s Europe upside down through the Reformation.
A World Upside Down is a collection of...

God's Word creates what he commands
In Justification by the Word, Jack D. Kilcrease reintroduces Martin Luther's key doctrine. Though a linchpin of the Reformation, Luther's view of justification is often misunderstood. For Luther, justification is an expression of God's creative Word. To understand Luther on justification, one must grasp his doctrine of the Word. The same God who declared "let there be light"-and it was so-also declares "your sins...

Dr. Warfield identifies the crucial questions associated with God's plan of salvation. He gives a shattering critique of the most dangerous answers that men have devised to those questions. He also exposes the injury to men's souls and the affront to God's glory which must necessarily result from those errors. Herein lies the enduring value of this work.

The cross is too important a matter to be left to the theologians. If it is true that God almighty was in Christ redeeming the world on Calvary, then we need to understand what that cross can mean for ordinary individuals and communities.
With this conviction, Green reexamines the question of atonement. Why did Jesus have to die? How could a loving God allow his son to suffer? And what role does the resurrection play in this divine drama? Rooting...
