This audiobook explores whether the Christian God intervenes in warfare and examines reasons for such intervention or its absence. It evaluates Augustinian just war theory, including jus ad bellum (justice of war) and jus in bello (justice in war), and contrasts it with Christian pacifism, highlighting the tension between the two.

Faith was never meant to be static—it is meant to flex, evolve, and transform. Yet many of us inherit beliefs that no longer align with who we are becoming. The Congruent Life offers a path through that tension, guiding listeners from dissonance to liberation. Through reflection, rhythm, and radical love, it reveals how congruent practices can transform confusion and fragmentation into peace, freedom, and wholeness. This is not a book about preserving the religion you were handed. It's about cultivating a faith that heals, liberates, and empowers.

Jesus taught that whenever we feed the hungry or clothe the naked, we do that for Him (Matt. 25:40). But our economies today look much different than that of first-century Judea. Other Christian traditions have developed their own modern social thought to address contemporary economic problems since the industrial revolution. But what about the Orthodox Tradition? This book surveys Scripture, Orthodox Church history, and modern economics to provide the frameworks, principles, and tools needed to fulfill Christ’s teaching today.

For many Christians, the relationship between the Old Testament Law and the New Testament dispensation is often viewed with confusion. In Dispensational Theonomy: The Revelation of God's Law Through the Ages, Jaród Murphey explores whether the Law has been abolished or still serves as a vital guide for believers today. Murphey argues that while the Mosaic Covenant is obsolete for those in Christ, the Law of God remains an essential foundation for both personal holiness and the establishment of objective civil justice in any society.

In an era where the definition of justice often shifts with the cultural tide, Jaród Murphey’s Equal Under the Law addresses some of the most fundamental questions of human existence: Do humans possess objective, inviolable rights? If so, where do these rights originate, and are they truly universal across all times and cultures? This audiobook invites listeners to look beyond subjective standards and explore the possibility of a timeless, unchanging foundation for morality that applies to every individual and society.

[a.d. 205–240–265.] Alexandria continues to be the head of Christian learning. It is delightful to trace the hand of God from generation to generation, as from father to son, interposing for the perpetuity of the faith. We have already observed the continuity of the great Alexandrian school: how it arose, and how Pantænus begat Clement, and Clement begat Origen. So Origen begat Gregory, and so the Lord has provided for the spiritual generation of the Church’s teachers, age after age, from the beginning.

From the invention of the wheel to artificial intelligence, humans have always made tools to help with our work. But what happens when we are supplanted by our tools? As our society increasingly treats tools like humans and humans like tools, how should we think about ourselves? In Irreplaceable...

In Bold as a Lion, pastor and professor Matthew Everhard calls believers to recover the lost virtue of courage. Drawing from Scripture, theology, and the wisdom of church history, Everhard argues that we are living in an age of great cowardice—an era when many Christians have become silent in the face of moral chaos.

In Sabbath Gospel, G. P. Wagenfuhr and Amy J. Erickson invite us to consider Sabbath as much more than a cessation from work. Sabbath is a grand exodus from tiring economic regimes and the empty promise of self-actualization.

In A Beautiful Vision, pastor and author Mick R. Murray invites listeners to recover a restorative, biblical vision of human sexuality, one that transcends shame, fear, and confusion. Drawing from Scripture, theology, philosophy, and personal experience, Murray shows that God’s design for our bodies, desires, and relationships is not repressive but redemptive. In a culture where sexual identity and gender expression dominate the headlines, and where the church too often responds with silence or judgment, this book offers a third way: truth with tenderness, conviction with compassion.

How should the church relate to the world? Nearly everyone agrees that the church should be making this world better, but we keep clashing about how to do so. We all want God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven, but deep disagreements about how to get there keep fracturing Christ’s body and tainting our testimony. Jesus was right: our witness to the world depends on our unity and our love for one another. In recent years, we've been failing at both. Political partisanship and constant infighting have wounded the vulnerable and driven countless people from the pews.

God made the Devil. Why would a good and sovereign God create evil at all? For centuries this question has stood at the center of the greatest challenge to the Christian faith. If God is all-powerful and perfectly good, why does evil exist? Why would the Creator permit the fall of Satan, the corruption of mankind, and the suffering that fills human history?

In a moment when everyone is seeking to be “set apart” as something—successful, beautiful, talented, popular, skilled, knowledgeable, or blessed—being set apart as holy is often an overlooked (or even undesirable) pursuit. Even for believers who agree that holiness matters in the...

What does Jesus say and do within the narrative worlds of the New Testament gospels that, through the ages, enabled innumerable gory horrors and immense systemic violence to be perpetrated with his presumed permission? That is the question driving this book. Its compound title, Jesusviolence, simultaneously denotes: first, the violence inflicted on the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; second, the violence enacted by the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; and third, certain of the violence enacted in Jesus's name in our histories and worlds.

The Sermon on the Mount isn't hard--it's devastating. In The Impossible Teachings of Jesus, Andrew Farley takes readers straight into Christianity's most admired--and most misunderstood--sermon. For centuries, the Sermon on the Mount has been treated as a spiritual rulebook, a blueprint for...
