Wouldn’t it be great to just feel proud to be human? Not because you are a certain nationality or race or sex or because you have achieved something amazing. Just proud because you possess an amazing design. This book is a reminder of how important you are as a human being regardless of anything else about you. It is for those who are fed up with looking to politics and religion to find answers to our problems. It is for those who are discouraged by the failure of technology and education to make our world better. It turns out, human beings are designed to be just what this world needs.

The journey from the known to the unknown can be terrifying. It takes a lot of courage to leave the relative comfort and safety of the familiar to embark on a voyage of discovery into enigmatic and potentially dangerous waters. But exploration is always worth the risk and nothing worth finding ever comes without some degree of peril. The book you hold in your hand does not purport to be a map to guide you easily through troubled waters nor does it claim to have all of the answers to assuage you as you question fundamental tenets of faith or religion.

Jeremy Steele knows what it means to suck as a Christian—because he's an expert. How to Not Suck as a Christian takes an unflinching look at the ways Christians often miss the mark, from misusing scripture and manipulating others to failing at basic empathy.

Despite many warnings, the larger public has just now become aware that moderns are suffering from a crisis of meaning, in which everything we do and are can come to seem meaningless, futile, and absurd. We may doubt not only the meaningfulness of our lives, but whether meaning, value, and goodness exist at all.

Poythress uses multiple biblical perspectives to address the origin of humanity, the image of God, body and soul, the creational covenant, free agency, human sexuality, and other truths about humanity.

Facing sin, suffering, and an uncertain future, it’s easy to become pessimistic, but believers in Christ know the best is yet to come. God promises that one day he will redeem his image bearers and renew the earth. Few books are written on the doctrine of glorification, but its promise of restoration brings urgent hope for Christ followers. In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, Graham A. Cole examines the concept of divine glory as well as God’s plan for redeeming individual believers, the church, and the universe.

Male, Female, Other? was created for a broader Christian audience, rather than a specifically Catholic one. It also includes a new introduction by activist and detransitioner Chloe Cole. In it, Jason addresses some of the most challenging questions surrounding the topics of gender theory and gender dysphoria.

In western post-Christian society, humans are thought of less like precious image bearers and more like commodities. The canary in the coal mine of this ideological shift is often women and children, which manifests itself in the seemingly built-in disdain towards motherhood and children for their lack of production of economically valuable goods. However, the risk of this utilitarian approach to human life is not just outside the church, but within those spaces as well.

Tendo como elemento central o resgate da esperança para aqueles que sofrem as consequências do racismo, "Uma leitura negra" propõea prática da leitura da Bíblia e de sua interpretação a partir da rica herança da igreja negra, ou da "interpretação eclesiástica negra", como denomina o autor. Esau McCaulley constrói sua argumentação aliando elementos que por vezes parecem inconciliáveis: uma sólida argumentação baseada na ortodoxia bíblica e um forte apelo étnico e social.

Drugs & Jesus is the first book of its kind to pioneer a theological framework for people of faith and specifically evangelical Christians to help them engage in the ministry of harm reduction. Drawing from his own ground-breaking efforts to equip faith communities at the epicenter of America's rural opioid crisis, Josh takes readers on a journey of theological and practical transformation that will give them a renewed sense of mission by stirring their compassion for the most vulnerable members of their community.

Ever wonder why much of American Christianity is pro-spanking, pro-tough-on-crime, anti-gun control, pro-war, and hell-affirming, even though Jesus taught mercy, non-violence and enemy love? When Michael Camp started deconstructing his evangelical faith, he noticed a pattern. The doctrines he questioned—original depravity, substitutionary atonement, God-ordained genocide in the Old Testament, the doctrine of hell, etc.—were all tied to retribution and violence.

This book is written especially for parents seeking to fortify their children against the transgender craze currently dominating our culture, but ought to be a helpful tool for any Christian seeking to contend for the biblical worldview in the battle over sexuality.

How do we keep from drifting away from what makes us who we are? How do we even know we're drifting? In this provocative new book, Jared C. Wilson discusses the potentials and problems with evangelical departures from gospel-centrality. In a variety of ways, on both "the left" and "the right," Wilson outlines these threats from angles sometimes imperceptible at first glance.

This is an improvisational book written by an improvisor about the improvisational nature of Jesus, reality, and an improvisational creation. Say that three times fast. This book is an amalgam of memoir, theology, and improv. Tanner is vulnerable, brutally honest, and a little silly as he conjures a portrait of an improvisational reality. Everything is the same, but exactly different (and it always will be) and this book considers how improv and Jesus provoke us towards eternal affirmations of difference.

How did the shift from matriarchy to patriarchy come about? In fascinating detail, Merlin Stone tells us the story of the Goddess who reigned supreme in the Near and Middle East. Under her reign, societal roles differed markedly from those in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures: women bought and sold property, traded in the marketplace, and inherited title and land from their mothers.
