    A Guide to Christian Approaches and Practices

    Edited by Gary W. Moon and David G. Benner

    In recent years, many Christian clergy, laity and mental health professionals have rediscovered the ancient practices of spiritual direction.

    by Jonathan Hill

    Why read about the history of Christian thought? Because, if you are Christian yourself, it helps you to understand the faith--addressing everything from where Christians got their ideas of the Trinity and how Christ can be both human and divine to what they think about issues like feminism, globalization and social justice. And because, even if you are not, all Western society has been shaped ...

    How does the canon of Scripture fit together?

    For evangelical Christians, there is no question about the authority of Scripture and its testimony to the centrality of Jesus Christ in God's salvation plan.

    Interpreting Old Testament Wisdom Literature

    Edited by David G. Firth and Lindsay Wilson

    In popular perception, Wisdom literature is a "self-help" or "philosophy" section of the Old Testament library—the odd and interesting bits of canonical mortar between History and Prophets. Themes that are prominent elsewhere in the Old Testament receive only scant attention in the wisdom books. Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes focus on everyday life rather than on God's special dealings with the ...

    Ancient Christian Texts

    by Jerome
    Edited by Thomas P. Scheck

    Jerome (c. 347-419/20), one of the West's four doctors of the church, was recognized early on as one of the church's foremost translators, commentators and advocates of Christian asceticism.

Beginning in 379, Jerome used ...
