    God the Almighty

    Power, Wisdom, Holiness, Love

    Christian Foundations

    by Donald G. Bloesch

    The doctrine of God is receiving renewed and vigorous attention in theology. Even a cursory examination of recent scholarship reveals what leading evangelical theologian Donald Bloesch describes as "a mounting controversy over the concept of God." God is variously portrayed as vulnerable (Jürgen Moltmann, Clark Pinnock), as lover (Norman Pittenger, Ronald Goetz), as friend (Alfred North Whitehead, ...

    We Believe in the Crucified and Risen Lord

    Ancient Christian Doctrine Series

    Edited by Mark J. Edwards

    The resurrection changed everything. "But for the resurrection," writes Mark J. Edwards, "there would have been no reason to argue for a union of two natures in the person of Christ, let alone for a dyad or triad in the Godhead. All that he had said and done in the course of his earthly ministry would have sat well enough with the character of a prophet who excelled such predecessors ...

    The Gospel of the Son of God

    An Introduction to Matthew

    by David R. Bauer

    From beginning to end, the very structure of the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the Son of God.

    Edited by Elijah Hixson and Peter J. Gurry
    Foreword by Daniel B. Wallace

    Biblical Foundations Award Finalist and Runner Up

    Since the unexpected popularity of Bart Ehrman's bestselling Misquoting Jesus, textual criticism has become a staple of Christian apologetics.

    The Cross of Christ

    by John Stott
    Foreword by Alister McGrath

    "I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross. . . . In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?" With compelling honesty John Stott confronts readers with the centrality of the cross in God's redemption of our pain-filled world.

    Can we see triumph in tragedy, victory in shame? Why should an object of Roman distaste and ...

    In this Bible Speaks Today volume, Robert Fyall's pairing of Ezra with Haggai enhances ...

    "The Spirit blows where it pleases," Jesus said to Nicodemus. "You hear its sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

    The Spirit, like the wind, is hard to pin down. Any discussion of the Spirit is fraught with the difficulty of speaking about something or someone who defies definition and who purposely ...
