Book Description
Because God created all things with coherent unity, everything can be understood from the perspective of everything else. We experience the world in the context of our own bodies, but every day we broaden our understanding through the perspectives of others. Meanwhile, our omniscient God is also omniperspectival. Through his revelation, he allows us a glimpse of his own divine perspective. What does this mean for us? One valuable dimension of this reality is that theological issues can also be helpfully viewed from multiple perspectives without compromising their unity and truth. In this accessible introduction to his Bible study and theological method, John Frame teaches us to approach doctrine with situational, normative, and existential perspectives modeled on the Trinity.

Book Description
Paul of Tarsus, the Pharisee who tried to destroy the church of God, experienced a conversion to faith in Jesus Christ that was to turn his life upside down and lead to his becoming one of the greatest missionaries and theologians of all time. His theology is highly controversial and has both inspired and appalled his listeners. Richard Bell presents the major themes in Paul’s theology and also asks what he got right, what he got wrong, and what in his theology needs reinterpreting for the twenty-first century. The book thereby shows the ongoing relevance of Paul’s thought for today. To accompany this volume, a website of music designed to add an experiential dimension in discovering Paul’s message for the world can be found at richardhbell.co.uk.

Recent discussion of biblical law sees it either as a response to socio-economic factors or as an intellectual tradition. In either case it is viewed as the product of elites that form an international community drawing on a common culture.

Book Description
Do you struggle to connect the dots between the Bible and your life? While Christians instinctively want to apply Scripture, we encounter difficulties that can discourage us and diminish our engagement with God’s Word. Indeed, biblical application has suffered in various ways in the church—everything from neglect to abuse to contempt. Responding to such challenges, Beyond Chapter and Verse provides a biblically based rationale for the practice of application and then proposes a biblically consistent method for application. The book is substantive but accessible, relevant for believers generally as well as preachers. It begins by sketching the broad theological context of Bible application, relating it to the gospel generally and to sanctification specifically. The heart of the study then synthesizes key Old and New Testament passages relative to the process of application. Building on this foundation, the book sets forth a sensible approach for arriving at legitimate applications of Scripture. A rich assortment of positive and negative case studies illustrates the method, motivating believers to apply the Scriptures for themselves.

Book Description
The third volume of Frame's Theology of Lordship series, this book focuses on biblical ethics. In an age of ethical relativism and suspicion of authority, how can we know what is good, virtuous, or just? Frame surveys non-Christian ethical traditions before setting forth a solidly Christian ethical method. By clarifying biblical norms, life situations, and personal dimensions, he presents a model for decision making that honors God in all aspects of life. Discussions range from natural law and conflict of duties to detailed explorations of the Ten Commandments in connection with questions surrounding worship, the Sabbath, church and state, respect for life and truth, sexuality, and the relation of Christ to culture.

Book Description
To understand the Trinity one must think in terms of three dimensions of existence; dimensions that include eternity-past, earth time-present, and eternity-present/future. The reason is because God the Son is identified in all three dimensions by different terminology, e.g., God; the Word of God; the Son of God; Jesus of Nazareth and Melchizedek. When God the Son was in the Father (John 1:1), He was the Word of God; when the Word of God came out of the Father to stand at the Father's side, He was identified as the Only begotten (Son) of God (John 1:2,18); when God the Word came to earth, he was clearly identified as the One and Only Son of God (John 3:16). Therefore, in eternity-past, when the Son of God created Heaven and the Universe, clearly, He was not the man Jesus of Nazareth; however, in sequential time events, when the Son of God left Heaven to inhabit a human body, He was identified as the God-man, Jesus of Nazareth, and later was identified with Melchizedek as the eternal Priest of God Most High (Heb.7). All three dimensions involve(ed) sequential events, so that the Son of God is clearly manifested in each dimension to indicate His preexistent mission and work throughout eternity-past/present, present-time and eternity-future. (FIRST DIMENSION) (SECOND DIMENSION) (THIRD DIMENSION) ETERNITY-PAST - (Thru) - EARTH-TIME - (Into) - FUTURE-TIME (Generally unknown) (Knowable) (Somewhat knowable) Robert W. Fuller is an ordained Minister (ret.) having received his BA degree in the Biblical Field (with studies in NT Greek) from Abilene Christian University and a M. Ed from the University of North Texas. Mr. Fuller also received his LCDC (Licensed Chemical Dependence Counselor) in 1989 and served as an Addictions Abuse Counselor. From this experience came his first book on that subject, titled "The Baby King Must Die!" Other books by the author are: "When God the Son Became the Son of God" and "Demythologizing Jesus of Nazareth." Mr. Fuller states: "The purpose for the present book is to clearly identify God the Son, The Word of God, the Son of God, Melchizedek and Jesus of Nazareth as the same person who lived in three dimensions.
