With America's confidence in the Bible at an all-time low and the strength of her spiritual convictions waning, it is essential for Christians—especially Christian leaders—to be well-grounded in biblical theology. To have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the key doctrines of evangelicalism. In response, professor and award-winning author Bruce Demarest has made plain God's glorious plan of salvation, his provision for the human dilemma through Christ's work on the cross, and the application of saving grace to unbelievers. Demarest's unique approach defines each topic, identifies its most pressing issues, examines the ways in which the doctrine has been understood historically, and interprets the Bible's revelation. The result is a clear and carefully constructed doctrinal statement that you can defend, live out, and communicate to others. This singular, comprehensive treatment of one of Christianity's essential doctrines gives definitive, Bible-based answers about salvation and the cross— and about related theological issues such as grace and regeneration. It's perfect for clarifying your theology and gaining deep understanding of this foundational theme. Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series.

The Thorn in the Flesh

Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
In 2 Corinthians 12: 7 Paul makes the extraordinary admission that he was given a 'thorn in the flesh'. Although we can never be sure what that torment was, many of us will know what it feels like to experience a painful problem which does not seem to go away. In this book R. T. Kendall explains what a thorn in the flesh is, why we have it, and what we should understand by it. Looking with compassion at the kinds of acute situation in which we may find ourselves - an unhappy marriage, difficult working conditions, loneliness, sexual misgivings or chronic illness, for example - he shows how the grace of God is sufficient whatever our thorn, and how it can lead us into unimaginable intimacy with Jesus.

Christian Flesh
Author: Paul J Griffiths
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503606759
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
“[A] brilliant and provocative work . . . demonstrating the centrality of the flesh to the mysteries and doctrines of the Christian faith.” —Carol Zaleski, Smith College A sustained and systematic theological reflection on the idea that being a Christian is, first and last, a matter of the flesh, Christian Flesh shows us what being a Christian means for fleshly existence. Depicting and analyzing what the Christian tradition has to say about the flesh of Christians in relation to that of Christ, the book shows that some kinds of fleshly activity conform well to being a Christian, while others are in tension with it. But to lead a Christian life is to be unconstrained by ordinary ethical norms. Arguing that no particular case of fleshly activity is forbidden, Paul J. Griffiths illustrates his message through extended case studies of what it is for Christians to eat, to clothe themselves, and to engage in physical intimacy. “In this trenchant and careful theological treatment of our embodiment, Paul Griffiths puts the stress exactly where it should be put––on the possibility of transfigured touch. By focusing on the varieties of touch, he is able to untangle several unfortunate arguments between liberals and conservatives in a most refreshing way.” —John Milbank, University of Nottingham “Very few theologians can boast a comparable combination of profound questioning and precise reasoning. This is a book worthy of the most serious reflection, debate, and admiration.” —David Bentley Hart, Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study “Supremely lucid and beautifully austere.” —Evan Sandsmark, Modern Theology “A model of well-reasoned, stimulating and enduring theology.” —R. David Nelson, International Journal of Systematic Theology

Why I Love the Apostle Paul
Author: John Piper
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433565072
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
"Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.

The Works of the Flesh
Author: Michael Caputo

ISBN: 9781494801090
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Evils abound in our world. Satan, “the Prince of the power of the air,” as Paul instructed us, definitely “works in the children of disobedience.” (Eph. 2: 2 NKJV). The results of his evil efforts are greed, unbridled immorality, broken homes, murders, wars and many other evils that are making our world evermore unlivable. These are the signs that Satan is indeed “The God of this world” (II Corinthians 4: 4 KJV). The Devil continually tempts humans into participating into his evil deeds, listed by the Apostle Paul in Galatians chapter five as “The Works of the Flesh.” Christians must be aware of these Works, and must know their manifestations well for, as Paul warns, “they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God” (II Corinthians 4:4 KJV). This book is meant to enlighten those who want to know the Works of the Flesh in depth. Each word used by Paul in Galatians 5 will be analyzed thoroughly, and time will be spent analyzing the psychological and societal manifestations of the evil each word represents. Lastly, plentiful biblical and sensible advice will be provided on how to be victorious in our war against Satan and his Works.

The Mastery of Subduing the Flesh
Author: Oguama O Anne
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 9781662817823
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Distinctive and notable aspect of the Book- Allowing the Holy Spirit work in us and understanding that without Him, we are unable to conquer our weakness or subdue the flesh. Loyalty in this Journey with Christ is inevitable. As God's children we need to pledge allegiance to God. If I perish, I perish but the will of the Father for my life must be done. The Holy Spirit has taught me that it is almost impossible to receive anything from the Father outside the place of prayer. I was in the middle of prayer when these words were dropped in my spirit- The Mastery of subduing the flesh. I immediately knew it was a book, but I had no idea where to start. But by the grace of God, I picked up my pen and a book and began to write whatever came in my thoughts, miraculously even I was amazed at certain mysteries revealed in the book. Subduing the flesh is something we have to continue to do for the rest of our lives. The only way to master the art of subduing the flesh is by giving the Holy Spirit a chance to express Himself in us. Jesus Christ saw me through this Book. I am from the South South side of Nigeria, Delta state, I was born to a family of Five children and I am the first of them all. I love to read my Bible, inspirational books, listen to sermons from a select few of preachers and I love to watch movies at my spare time. The decadence of morality in the world today and how the world is rejecting the sacrifice of my Savior Jesus Christ inspired me to write the book. My website is www.childoftheking.teachersden.org.
