    Reforming Mercy Ministry

    A Practical Guide to Loving Your Neighbor

    by Ted Rivera

    "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength." This, Jesus tells us, is the greatest commandment. Implicit in it is the message that propels us out to the ends of the earth, news as simple as it is good: God so loves the world that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for our sins, and he invites us into a saving relationship with ...

    by W. Bingham Hunter

    I cried out to God for help;
    I cried out to God to hear me.
    When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
    at night I stretched out untiring hands
    and my soul refused to be comforted.
    (Psalm 77)

    A New Conversation

    Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books

    Edited by Earl D. Bland and Brad D. Strawn

    Unsurprisingly, given Sigmund Freud's understanding of religion, the conversation between Christianity and psychoanalysis has long been marked by mutual suspicion. Psychoanalysis originated within a naturalist, post-Enlightenment context and sought to understand human functioning and pathology--focusing on phenomena such as the unconscious and object representation--on a strictly empirical basis. ...

    Thanksgiving

    An Investigation of a Pauline Theme

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by David W. Pao
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    "Be thankful" (Colossians 3:15) is a recurring exhortation in the letters of the apostle Paul. No other New Testament writer gives such a sustained emphasis on thanksgiving—and yet, major modern studies of Paul fail to wrestle with it. David Pao aims to rehabilitate this theme in this comprehensive and accessible study, a New Studies in Biblical Theology volume. He shows how, for Paul, thanksgiving ...
