An Evangelical Theology of Real Presence

Sensing a real need for renewal, John Jefferson Davis offers a theology of worship ...

New Explorations in Theology
by Samuel V. Adams
After a flurry of heated debates in the mid-twentieth century over the relationship between faith and history, the dust seems to have settled. The parties have long since dispersed into their separate camps. The positions are entrenched and loyalties are staked out.

paperbackThe Gospel of the Son of God
An Introduction to Matthew
