The Reformation and the Bible
Wheaton Theology Conference Series
Edited by Jennifer Powell McNutt and David Lauber
Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses caught Europe by storm and initiated the Reformation, which fundamentally transformed both the church and society. Yet by Luther's own estimation, his translation of the Bible into German was his crowning achievement. The Bible played an absolutely vital role in the lives, theology, and practice of the Protestant Reformers. In ...

hardcoverWe Believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church
Ancient Christian Doctrine Series
Edited by Angelo Di Berardino
When was the church founded? Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God and not of a religious organization subsequently called church. We don't find in the Gospels expressions which make reference to the foundation of a new religious community, a new and distinct community of followers of Jesus. But after the resurrection of Jesus, his followers, as a result of his express command, gather ...

hardcoverWe Believe in the Holy Spirit
Ancient Christian Doctrine Series
Edited by Joel C. Elowsky

Edited by John Anthony McGuckin
"Who do you say that I am?" This question that Jesus asked of his disciples, so central to his mission, became equally central to the fledgling church. How would it respond to the Gnostics who answered by saying Jesus was less than fully human? How would it respond to the Arians who contended he was less than fully God? It was these challenges that ultimately provoked the Council ...

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 ...

paperbackForgiving and Reconciling
Bridges to Wholeness and Hope
by Everett L. Worthington Jr.
A Templeton Foundation Book of Distinction
All of us have suffered painful emotional and relational hurts. God calls us to forgive those who have hurt us, but that's often easier said than done. We don't usually know how to forgive others, nor are we always sure if we have truly forgiven them.
Psychologist and counselor Everett L. Worthington Jr., the leading Christian ...
