Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872) pursued studies in anthropology and philosophy - particularly following Hegel - and from these came his proclaimed stance on secular humanism and atheism. ‘Religion is the dream of the human mind,’ he writes unequivocally. The Essence of Christianity opens with a...

Grace is the heart of God to do you good when you deserve it least. But do we really know how deeply we don't deserve it? Only God can reveal that to us. He does it through the bible. And when he does, the wonders of his grace explode with brightness as never before. These Five Points are about how Christians come into being, and how we are kept forever. It reaches back into times past when we were freely chosen. It reaches forward into the future when we will be safe and happy forever.

Whatever noxious vapors, accordingly, exhaled from philosophy, obscure the clear and wholesome atmosphere of truth, it will be for Christians to clear away, both by shattering to pieces the arguments which are drawn from the principles of things - I mean those of the philosophers - and by opposing to them the maxims of heavenly wisdom - that is, such as are revealed by the Lord; in order that both the pitfalls wherewith philosophy captivates the heathen may be removed, and the means employed by heresy to shake the faith of Christians may be repressed.

The Bible has served as the anchor of American culture from the earliest days of our founding. While connected to this anchor, our nation prospered like none before us. Today, our nation has disconnecting itself from the Bible, and we are adrift in a sea of relativism that threatens the very fabric of our society. Truth itself is now considered relative, and thus for all practical purposes, no longer exists. The Bible is dismissed as foolishness by a world growing more foolish every day.

After Whiteness is for anyone who has ever questioned why theological education still matters. It is a call for Christian intellectuals to exchange isolation for intimacy and embrace their place in the crowd - just like the crowd that followed Jesus and experienced his miracles. It is part memoir, part decolonial analysis, and part poetry - a multimodal discourse that deliberately transgresses boundaries, as Jennings hopes theological education will do, too.

Being miraculously normal is reflected in a being who is loving, caring, forgiving, enduring, and living in this present world. This book is the third in this series forming a trilogy and expounds on the Lord’s prayer in John 17 for all his people to become one - as one as the father and the son are one. In his prayer, he gave three gifts to accomplish the oneness of his people: eternal life, truth and his glory. When previously divided, even hostile people can become one in this present conflicting and confusing age.

Christ Condemned is a critical examination of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity, following in the long tradition of employing philosophy to understand and defend the teachings of scripture. These doctrines are illuminated in 12 propositions first proven by reason, then by scripture. The scripture proofs not only demonstrate the doctrine itself, but also the reason for its truth. In a harmony of orthodoxy and reason, studied philosopher and theologian Julian Gress presents a beneficial and constructive work for those interested in philosophy and Christian doctrine.

Theology for the Rest of Us is a systematic Christian theology written in everyday language. It covers key areas of doctrine such as bibliology, theology proper, Christology, pneumatology, soteriology, and ecclesiology.

James Petigru Boyce (1827 - 1888) was the founding President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and also served as its first professor of Theology. His Abstract of Systematic Theology is a practical textbook for pastors and students. A philosophical introduction on the science of theology is followed by 16 chapters devoted to the study of God. Boyce then proceeds to creation, providence, the fall of man, Christology, salvation, sanctification, and eschatology.

Rarely does a new theological position emerge to account well for life in the world, including not only goodness and beauty but also tragedy and randomness. The Uncontrolling Love of God provides a clear and powerful answer to the problem of evil, the problem of chance, and how God acts providentially in the world.

Unfortunately, many well-meaning, Christ-loving saints have been held hostage by prophecy teachers using questions like these to cast doubt upon God's prophetic promises for the New Testament Church. When the End Begins is a God-given tool to break through the spiritual chains of bondage. Listen to the book! Heed the warning! Consider yourself bound no longer!

Many of us believe that in order to please God, we have to be perfect. It’s an easy lie to buy into. In a culture that emphasizes accomplishment and ever-higher goals, we feel driven to do more, achieve more, be more. And we get caught up in the unforgiving treadmill of self-imposed rules, believing that we should, we need to, we must. The result? Anger, frustration, and anxiety that keep us far away from the life of peace that Jesus promised.

The awe of God’s saving love found in the Bible from beginning to end and how saints and scholars have interpreted that love from the Patristic period until today is carefully examined. Rev. Ryan presents the diverse approaches to salvation offered by the Fathers of the Church, like Irenaeus and Justin Martyr, and the great contributions of men like Anselm of Canterbury and Thomas Aquinas.

Did Anselm, in his "Ontological Argument" (first advanced around 1070), make one of the greatest intellectual discoveries of all time, or did he merely fall into an interesting blunder? In his day, Anselm was criticized by Gaunilo. Subsequent philosophers have generally considered Gaunilo's criticisms to be weighty. Descartes' attempt to resuscitate Anselm's argument led to Kant's supposed refutation, which most later philosophers have considered to be fundamentally sound.

Adam Clarke, the renowned commentator, brings us this tome on the foundational principles and precepts of the Word of God. Christian Theology is a magnum opus of a systematic approach to doctrines which are fundamental to the Christian faith.

A. W. Tozer earned a legendary reputation as a prophetic voice, and he continues to be a best-selling author half a century after his death. A preacher at heart, he found his greatest joy in practicing the presence of God. Worship was his focus and his passion. His sermons were such strong declarations of what he discovered during private prayer and worship of the triune God that he had both the ability and the Spirit's anointing to move his listeners to wrestle with what God was saying to the church.
