Sometimes God feels distant. What creates that feeling of disconnect and what can we do when God feels far away? Studying Jesus’s friendships is a good place to start. When Jesus walked the Earth, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were some of His closest friends. He accepted them just as they were...

Shusaku Endo is considered one of Japan's greatest modern writers. His novel Silence is acknowledged as a masterpiece and has been translated into many languages.

His stories and novels attempt to integrate his religious faith with Japanese culture.

We all have experienced unwanted parts of our spiritual journey: distance from God, gaps in our character, the fear that our lives will be trivial and empty... Jesus is calling us into more. Calling us to be shaped in his likeness. To experience his abundance of life.

Duane Elmer asked people around the world how they felt about Western missionaries. The response? "Missionaries could be more effective if they did not think they were better than us". The last thing we want to do in cross-cultural ministry is to offend people in other cultures. Unfortunately, all too often and even though we don't mean it, our actions communicate superiority, paternalism, imperialism, and arrogance.  

How is it that in America the image of Jesus Christ has been used both to justify the atrocities of white supremacy and to inspire the righteousness of civil rights crusades? In The Color of Christ, Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey weave a tapestry of American dreams and visions - from witch hunts to web pages, Harlem to Hollywood, slave cabins to South Park, Mormon revelations to Indian reservations - to show how Americans visually remade the Son of God time and again into a sacred symbol of their greatest aspirations, deepest terrors, and mightiest strivings for racial power and justice.

The universal symbol of the Christian faith is neither a crib nor a manger, but a gruesome cross. Yet many people are unclear about its meaning, and cannot understand why Christ had to die.

From the worldwide phenomenon of The Da Vinci Code to the national bestseller Misquoting Jesus, popular culture is being bombarded with radical skepticism about the uniqueness of Christ and the reliability of the New Testament. Reinventing Jesus cuts through the rhetoric of extreme doubt expressed by these and several other contemporary voices to reveal the profound credibility of historic Christianity. 

Scripture clearly testifies to the significance of the divine covenants. God has entered repeatedly into covenantal relationships with particular men. Explicit references may be found to a divine covenant established with Noah, Abraham, Israel, and David. Israel's prophets anticipated the coming of the days of the "new covenant," and Christ himself spoke of the last supper in covenantal language.

Two billion people today identify as Christians, with the implication that Jesus is the focus of their relationship with God and their way of living in the world. Such followers of Jesus are now more numerous and make up a greater proportion of the world's population than ever before. Richard Bauckham explores the historical figure of Jesus, evaluating the sources and concluding that they provide us with good historical evidence for his life and teaching.

Why did Christ ascend to heaven while darkness continued on earth? If Christ's atoning work was complete at the cross, why does our world remain mired in evil, suffering, and death? How will the end of the devil's rule come? Understanding the nature and work of Christ is vital to answering these...

In our postmodern, pluralistic world, there are plenty of genuinely spiritual people who consider Christ a way to heaven, or even their way to heaven, but who refuse to acknowledge Him as the one and only way for everyone. In their estimation, anyone who stresses an exclusive, saving faith in Jesus Christ is at the least intolerant and, at worst, completely ignorant. Yet as Rod Rosenbladt shows in this book, there are numerous evidences that support the centrality and exclusivity of Christ.

In The Making of the Trinity, Jake Brancatella examines the historical formation of Trinitarian doctrine from the New Testament period through the major debates of the early Church. Through close engagement with early Christian writings, patristic theology, and the controversies surrounding figures such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, Eusebius of Caesarea, and Athanasius, this book explores how Christian thinkers understood the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit before the doctrine was formally defined in later orthodoxy.

What if the gospel you inherited is not the one Jesus revealed? For most of his life, Nathan Sansing preached the very things he now challenges—teaching people to earn what they already had, chase a God who was never running away, and live beneath the weight of fear, guilt, and spiritual performance. Then something began to break. Or maybe it finally began to heal. Finally Free is the story of that awakening.
