paperbackPolitics for Christians
Statecraft as Soulcraft
Christian Worldview Integration Series
by Francis J. Beckwith
Politics is concerned with citizenship and the administration of justice--how communities are formed and governed.

paperbackTwo Testaments, One Bible
The Theological Relationship Between the Old and New Testaments
by David L. Baker
Do we need the Old Testament today? Is this collection of ancient writings still relevant in our postmodern and increasingly post-literary world?

paperbackEvangelistic Preaching That Connects
Guidance in Shaping Fresh and Appealing Sermons
by Craig A. Loscalzo
"One problem with evangelistic sermons is that they look and sound like evangelistic sermons." So says Craig Loscalzo, respected preacher and teacher of preachers.

Our pluralistic setting means that the evangelistic sermons of yesterday--which ...
