“A really excellent introduction to an amazing female saint from the fourth century. Simonetta Carr gives a very personal feel for Macrina, as well as being theologically and historically rich!” JOHN BEHR, Regius Chair of Humanity, University of Aberdeen; and author of numerous works on...

Carpocrates, Marcellina, and Epiphanes is the definitive study of the early Christian theologian Carpocrates, his son Epiphanes, and the leader of the Carpocratian movement in Rome, Marcellina. It contains the first full-length study of and commentary on the fragments of Epiphanes, the earliest reports on Carpocrates and Marcellina, as well as the Epistle to Theodore (containing the so-called Secret Gospel of Mark). Listeners also encounter an up-to-date history of research on the Carpocratian movement, and three full profiles of all we can know from the earliest Carpocratian leaders.

For centuries, believers have assumed that the teachings of the Reformers faithfully restored the message of the Bible. Yet when we examine the writings of the earliest Christians—the disciples of the apostles and the generations immediately after them—a very different picture emerges. The Deformation invites listeners to take a fresh and honest look at several foundational teachings of the Reformation—such as total depravity, penal substitutionary atonement, the meaning of “works of the law,” the role of free will, and the interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount.

The Westminster Assembly is celebrated for its doctrinal standards and debates on church polity. But how often is the assembly noted for its extraordinary intervention in the pulpit ministry of the Church of England? In God’s Ambassadors, Chad Van Dixhoorn recounts the Puritan quest for a...

In this groundbreaking work, Roberts argues that Jesus of Nazareth was not a passive spiritual teacher, but a devoted leader within the Zealot movement—a Jewish resistance fighting for liberation from brutal Roman rule. Backed by historical, cultural, and linguistic evidence. A corrected interpretation of the Gospel of Mark, uncovering that it was Pilate, not the Jewish crowd, who issued the order to crucify Jesus.

Who is the true Israel? For centuries, the Christian Church has answered this question with a resounding affirmation: the Church, as the body of believers in Jesus Christ, is the True Israel, inheriting the covenant promises of the Old Testament. Yet, in the modern era, this historic understanding has been challenged by dispensationalism, a theology that separates Israel and the Church, fueling political agendas and reshaping evangelical thought. Who is Israel?

We have misunderstood Paul, badly. We have read his words through our own set of assumptions. We need to begin with Paul's world view, to see things the way he saw them. What if "original sin" was never part of Paul's thinking? What if the idea that we are saved by faith in Christ, as Luther argued, was based on a mistranslation of Paul's words and a misunderstanding of Paul's thinking?

What are the aims of the Christian spiritual life and how can we deepen our life in Christ? What is the Catholic form of the spiritual life and what are its causes? This book serves as an introduction to Catholic spirituality by examining the mystery of Jesus Christ—His Crucifixion and His Resurrection—as the center of our spiritual life. The central argument of the book is that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus present us with the form or essence of the Christian spiritual life and orient us toward union with the Trinity as the final end or aim of human existence.

It is clear that since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has been plagued with terrible doctrinal and liturgical confusion that has contributed to the worst crisis in the Church since the Arian crisis, and perhaps the worst in history. This incisive book examines the often-overlooked wisdom of Pope St. Pius X on modernism, the synthesis of all heresies, found in his landmark encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis (On the Doctrines of the Modernists).

Jesus's command to the disciples to heal the sick and cast out demons was an integral part of the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom of God in the early centuries of the church. Did we lose God's gift of healing and deliverance in the church as the centuries rolled on? Can we mesh Christian healing with scientific progress? A Case for Healing Today presents biblical, historical, and theological perspectives on Christian healing. Through an understanding of author Bob Sawvelle's meticulous research, Christians can proclaim and demonstrate the good news of God's healing presence today.

Deze in het Nederland vertaalde editie onthult de Oude Egyptische wortels van het christendom, zowel historisch als spiritueel. Dit boek laat zien dat de verhalen van de "historische Jezus" volledig zijn gebaseerd op het leven en de dood van de Egyptische farao, Twt / Tut-Ankh-Amen (Toetanchamon); en dat de "Jezus van het geloof" en de christelijke dogma's, allen een Egyptische oorsprong kennen - zoals de essentie van de leer/boodschap, evenals de religieuze feestdagen.

Secrets of the Earth Revealed is a compelling nonfiction narrative which answers the tough questions of man’s heart. It relieves the mind of the fears of the spiritual unknown by providing concrete proof that God is real, and most of all, evidence that man was alive before being born on the Earth.

Decolonizing Palestine challenges the weaponization of biblical texts to support the current settler-colonial state of Israel. Raheb argues that some of the most important theological concepts—Israel, the land, election, and chosen people—must be decolonized in a paradigm shift in Christian theological thinking about Palestine. 

Paul the Pharisee celebrates not just the New-Paul as Jew but the New-New-Paul as Jewish Pharisee. Granted past Christian, Jewish, and Roman matrices of interpretation, this book explores the historical Paul through the fourth matrix of Evolution. (Think of those matrices as four Russian nesting Matryoshka dolls.) We are not on the Titanic; we are the iceberg. What, then, does Pauline “resurrection” have to do with human evolution?

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.

This audiobook explains Jesus's two natures in a way relevant to the modern listener. It clearly describes the struggle to understand Jesus's two natures and points out inadequacies in the views of some church fathers who misinterpreted the meaning of Jesus's two natures. This book uses the affirmation of the Council of Chalcedon, AD 451, to explain Jesus's two natures and establish that Jesus is fully God and man. This book takes on a historical and theological stance.
