I wrote these books, Part One and Part Two, for all those who demanded of me believable answers to their thoughtful and intelligent questions. With or without me, these people so often found themselves in the presence of the Risen Christ and subsequently had even more questions about Jesus of Nazareth. He was and is to them the man Jesus, before the transformation wrought by the resurrection. Our subsequent myths have bred confusion, making Jesus of Nazareth remote and incomprehensible and the Risen Christ an unrelated magical figure.

In this powerful volume, noted New Testament scholar Robert M. Price engages in serious scrutiny of the beliefs and thinking of genuine Christian theologians and explains why he no longer finds that cardinal Christian claims make enough sense to believe. As he concludes, the gospel proclamation is not a timeless revelation from heaven, but merely Christianity.

Erasmus of Rotterdam is usually remembered as a gentle humanist, a champion of learning, moderation, and civilized reform. This book proposes a more unsettling and far more compelling portrait. A Spy of Rotterdam: Erasmus Between Wisdom and Folly presents Erasmus not as a harmless moralist or a failed revolutionary, but as a uniquely positioned observer who survived one of Europe’s most violent intellectual ruptures by mastering the art of influence without allegiance.

The modern pre-tribulation rapture promises escape before persecution—but it was never taught by Jesus, the apostles, or the early Church. In The Great Deception, Glenn Langohr examines Scripture alongside the testimony of the earliest Christian writers to test modern rapture teaching against the plain order of biblical prophecy.

Restless for rootedness, many Christians are abandoning Protestantism altogether. Many evangelicals today are aching for theological rootedness often found in other Christian traditions. Modern evangelicalism is not known for drawing from church history to inform views on the Christian life...

The Book of Enoch (1 Enoch): A Prophetic Examination Tested by Scripture and Fulfilled in Jesus Christ is not a work of speculation or hidden knowledge. It is a Scripture-ruled investigation that places Enoch where it belongs: under the judgment of the Bible, not above it.

Did the early Church expect to escape the final persecution—or to endure it? For more than a century, modern pre-tribulation rapture theology has promised believers a “Great Escape” from the rise of the Antichrist and the final tribulation. Yet this teaching did not originate with Jesus, the apostles, or the early Church. In The Great Escape Delusion, Bible teacher Glenn Langohr examines this doctrine in light of Scripture and the unified witness of early Christian writers.

In The Early Church on the Antichrist, Glenn Langohr brings together Scripture—especially the prophecies of Daniel—with direct quotations from early Christian writers to show that the historic Church did not expect an escape before tribulation, but endurance through it.

A profound call to Christian discipleship. An intensive course in Christian faith. A creative freedom to serve God that is deeply grounded in Scripture. These are ways to describe Sacred Listening, James L. Wakefield's adaptation of the classic Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola.

Originally published in 1520, The Freedom of a Christian is one of Martin Luther's most well-known and enduring treatises. In it, Luther examines Christian ethics and how justification by faith alone impacts the liberty of believers. He famously writes, "A Christian is a free lord of everything and subject to no one. A Christian is a willing servant of everything and subject to everyone." Luther also further develops ideas and doctrines that were key to the Reformation, such as the priesthood of all believers and union with Christ.

The preaching of the truth, brother, and the confession of Orthodoxy is more needful for us than everything else, and we must make this confession before all mankind. For this is the foundation of all who believe. On account of this confession Peter was called blessed and was appointed to bear the keys of the kingdom of God. Paul, too, bore the hope of receiving the crown of life, since he kept and preached the faith. Indeed, the whole choir of the saints who did likewise and finished the race well has been glorified. We must also build up our neighbor, as much as we are able.

This book explains how Christians engaged the sinful realities of Indigenous land dispossession and Black enslavement, shaping American Christianity in distinctive and enduring ways. It further underscores how white Christians justified land theft and racial oppression against Indigenous and Black persons with scriptural interpretations and theological expositions that remade Christianity into an American religion that bolstered economic, political, and social interests.
