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 Murphey argues that while the Mosaic Covenant is obsolete for those in Christ, the Law of God remains an essential foundation for both personal holiness and the establishment of objective civil justice in any society.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.

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 Christian life, we often feel more comfortable cultivating and assigning other godly attributes to ourselves—love, grace, mercy, justice, kindness, and so on. But holy? It is so…other.

Christians consider their religion virtually synonymous with morality, believing there can be no moral standard without a God to guarantee it, no moral behavior without belief in God and knowledge of his commandments. Disbelievers are objects of their suspicion, tarred with labels like "relativist" and "nihilist." But buried under the benign and placid surface of Christian theology lies an incurable conflict—a ticking moral time bomb—and most believers have never realized the sinister implications of what they purport to believe.

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?

How could a conservative Christian an ordained minister with a beard, no less be against not only Christianity, but theology, sacraments, and ethics as well? Yet that is the stance Peter Leithart takes in this provocative "theological bricolage."Seeking to rethink evangelical notions of culture, church, and state, Leithart offers a series of short essays, aphorisms, and parables that challenge the current dichotomies that govern both Christian and non-Christian thinking about church and state, the secular and the religious. But his argument isn't limited to being merely "against.

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.

In Bold as a Lion, pastor and professor Matthew Everhard calls believers to recover the lost virtue of courage.

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.

This groundbreaking exposé of how artificial intelligence and gender ideology undermine our view of reality helps us cut through the chaos and find the hope we’re looking for. We hear that technology will set us free and that identity is whatever we choose. What we’re not being told is how these promises unravel reality itself, leaving us restless and confused in a world where we can no longer tell what is true. Christian thought leader Abdu Murray shows us how the ancient, yet timeless wisdom of Scripture anchors us to transcendent truth as we navigate today’s cultural tsunamis.
