    Was the Apostle a Racist, Chauvinist Jerk?

    by E. Randolph Richards and Brandon J. O'Brien

    by F. F. Bruce and David F. Payne

    The story of Israel is one of the outstanding tales of human history.

    Art and the Bible

    IVP Classics

    by Francis A. Schaeffer
    Foreword by Michael Card

    "The lordship of Christ should include an interest in the arts," writes Francis Schaeffer. "A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God." Many Christians, wary of creating graven images, have steered clear of artistic creativity. But the Bible offers a robust affirmation of the arts. The human impulse to create ...

    The Faithful Creator

    Affirming Creation and Providence in an Age of Anxiety

    by Ron Highfield

    As Paul says in Romans, creation groans for redemption. But can we trust God to make all things new?

Nonprofit consultant and researcher Kent Wilson presents ...

    Calvinism for a Secular Age

    A Twenty-First-Century Reading of Abraham Kuyper's Stone Lectures

    Edited by Jessica R. Joustra and Robert J. Joustra

    Abraham Kuyper, the Dutch Neo-Calvinist theologian, pastor, and politician, was well-known for having declared that there is "not a square inch" of human existence over which Jesus Christ is not its sovereign Lord. This principle is perhaps best reflected in Kuyper's writings on Calvinism originally delivered as the Stone Lectures in 1898 at Princeton Theological Seminary. These ...
