    Old Testament Theology for Christians

    From Ancient Context to Enduring Belief

    by John H. Walton

    Modern readers of the Bible often find the Old Testament difficult and even disturbing. What are we to do with obscure prophecies of long expired nations? Why should we read and study ancient laws that even the New Testament says are eclipsed by Christ? How can we reconcile Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount with the Old Testament’s graphic narratives of sex and violence? What does the Old Testament offer ...

    • 2010 Foreword Book of the Year
    God created the world in a delicate balance for the good of all plants, animals and people.

    Cat & Dog Prayer

    Rethinking Our Conversations with Our Master

    by Bob Sjogren and Gerald Robison

    Cats and dogs respond differently to their masters's care. While the dog thinks "You must be God!" the cat thinks "I must be God!" When we first become believers, we still have a natural tendency to be self-centered, especially in how we pray. As a result, many Christians prayers that are more of a laundry list of "all about me" requests. Because God doesn't answer these kinds of prayer, we tend ...

    Thinking About God

    First Steps in Philosophy

    by Gregory E. Ganssle

    Can we really think about God? Can we prove God?s existence? What about faith? Are there good reasons to believe in the Christian God? What about evil? Can we really know with our finite minds anything for sure about a transcendent God? Can we avoid thinking about God? The real problem, says philosopher Gregory E. Ganssle, is not whether we can think about God, but whether we will think well or ...
