    The Quest for the Trinity

    The Doctrine of God in Scripture, History and Modernity

    by Stephen R. Holmes

    The doctrine of the Trinity was settled in the fourth century, and maintained, with only very minor disagreement or development, by all strands of the church—Western and Eastern, Protestant and Catholic—until the modern period. In the twentieth century, there arose a sense that the doctrine had been neglected and stood in need of recovery. In The Quest for the Trinity, Holmes takes us ...

    Treasuring the Psalms

    How to Read the Songs that Shape the Soul of the Church

    Missiological Engagements

    by Oscar García-Johnson

To what extent are Westernized Christians today ready for the church of the Pentecost narrative? Are they equipped to do ministry ...

    A Christian Vision of Human Sexuality

    Center for Pastor Theologians Series

    Edited by Gerald L. Hiestand and Todd Wilson

    Humans are sexual creatures.

    Our sexuality can be a beautiful and mysterious expression of what it means to be human. But it can also become distorted and sinful.

    Perhaps no issue is as urgent for the church today, or confronts it with as many questions, as human sexuality: What does it mean to fulfill God’s will through our sexuality? To what extent should our sexuality ...

    Pursuing Radical Joy as the People of God

    by Tim McConnell

Happiness flows from the joy of the Lord and being glad in Christ. When the church ...
