    Praying for Your Missionary

    How Prayers from Home Can Reach the Nations

    by Eddie Byun

    Being a missionary is a noble calling, but it's also a difficult one. Missionaries face many challenges, whether adjusting to a new culture, learning a new language, or guarding against spiritual attacks. They need the support of the church and a faithful covering of prayer. But for many Christians, missionaries are out of sight, out of mind. How can we effectively intercede for ...

    Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books

    by Marjorie Lindner Gunnoe

    Integral to a Christian worldview and to psychology are foundational questions about personhood: What characteristics are essential? What is our purpose?

  • God and Soul Care: The Therapeutic Resources of the Christian Faith, By Eric L. Johnson
    hardcover

    God and Soul Care

    The Therapeutic Resources of the Christian Faith

    by Eric L. Johnson

    Christianity, at its heart, is a therapeutic faith—a theocentric form of soul care. God's therapeutic agenda begins in the perfect triune communion of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who created human beings to flourish by participating in his glory. But they are now alienated from God and subject to different forms of psychopathology—sin, suffering, and biopsychosocial damage. So ...

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    by Thomas C. Oden

    The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture does what few of today's students of the Bible could do for themselves. The vast array of writings from the church fathers—including much that is available only in the ancient languages—has been combed for its comment on Scripture. Scholars with a deep knowledge of the fathers and a heart for the church have hand-selected material for ...

    Epiphany

    The Season of Glory

    The Fullness of Time

    by Fleming Rutledge

    "We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father."

    This line from the prologue of the Gospel of John declares the theme of Epiphany. Christmas celebrates Christ's birth; Epiphany manifests his glory.

    The feast of Epiphany and its following season are not as well observed as they should be. Many of us associate Epiphany with the visit of the Magi but ...

    The Pietist Vision of Christian Higher Education

    Forming Whole and Holy Persons

    Edited by Christopher Gehrz

    Pietism has long been ignored in evangelical scholarship. This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher education, which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism with anti-intellectualism. The irony is that Pietism from the beginning "was intimately bound up with education," according to Diarmaid MacCulloch. But until now there ...

    Commentary on Jeremiah

    Ancient Christian Texts

    by Jerome
    Translated by Michael Graves
    Edited by Christopher A. Hall
    Series edited by Thomas C. Oden and Gerald L. Bray

    Jerome (c. 347-419), one of the West's four doctors of the church, was recognized early on as one of the church's foremost translators, commentators and advocates of Christian asceticism. Skilled in Hebrew and Greek in addition to his native Latin, he was thoroughly familiar with Jewish traditions and brought them to bear on his understanding of the Old Testament. In 405 Jerome completed his Latin ...
