    Practices for Living in Light of Eternity

    by Kenneth Boa

    • 2018 IVP Readers' Choice Award

    God is everywhere and always with us. So why don't we experience his presence more? Life is full of distractions, and our 24/7 news cycles and social media drown out the voice of God. It's hard to discern God's presence amid the hubbub. But experiencing God is not just for the super-spiritual or ultra-mature. Every Christian can ...

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Richard P. Belcher Jr

    There has been an explosion of interest in wisdom literature, and many studies are now available. There is every opportunity for people to "get wisdom, get insight" (Prov. 4:5).

By walking in the way of wisdom, we will "find favour and ...

    Foreword by Jon Batiste

    Christian Book Award Finalist

    But God speaks through wombs,
    birthing prophetic utterances. . . .
    Enough of this unbelieving religion

    Divine favor is placed on what we
    have disgraced.

    In God Speaks Through Wombs, Drew Jackson explores the first eight chapters of Luke's Gospel in a ...

    ebook

    The Reformation and the Irrepressible Word of God

    Interpretation, Theology, and Practice

    Edited by Scott M. Manetsch

    According to Scripture, the Word of God is "living and active" (Heb 4:12). That affirmation was embraced by the Protestant Reformers, whose understanding of the Christian faith and the church was transformed by their encounter with Scripture. It is also true of the essays found in this volume, which brings together the reflections of church historians and theologians originally delivered at Trinity ...

    Viewing Art with Eyes of Faith

    Studies in Theology and the Arts Series

    Edited by Cameron J. Anderson and G. Walter Hansen

    Should Christians even bother with the modern wing at the art museum? After all, modern art and artists are often caricatured as rabidly opposed to God, the church—indeed, to faith of any kind. But is that all there is to the story?

    In this Studies in Theology and the Arts volume, coeditors Cameron J. Anderson and G. Walter Hansen gather the reflections of artists, art historians, ...

    A Modern Defense of Classical Immutability

    New Explorations in Theology

    by Craig A. Hefner
    Foreword by Daniel J. Treier

    Danish theologian and philosopher Søren Kierkegaard was not afraid to express his opinions. Living amid what he perceived to be a culturally lukewarm Christianity, he was often critical of his contemporary church.

    But that does not mean Kierkegaard rejected traditional Christian theology. Indeed, at a time when many of his contemporaries were questioning the classical doctrine ...
