The Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as one who is “”God with us”” even until the end of time.

Many Witnesses One Lord
$16.00Add to cartThe author writes: This book has been written to say something that I have long felt, and long wished to say. We have heard much of the unity of the New Testament, and that unity is something which no one will wish to deny. But in the New Testament there is also diversity. There is no one standardized religious experience; there is no one stereotyped interpretation of the Christian faith and message. There is a company of men witnessing to what Jesus Christ has been to them, and still is. So in this book I have tried to see what Christ and Christianity and the Christian life meant to the different men who wrote the books of the New Testament.

Letters To The Galatians And Ephesians
$34.00Add to cart185 Pages/Galatians (6 Chapters), Ephesians (6 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE LETTERS TO THE GALATIANS AND EPHESIANSThe Letter to the Galatians proclaims that Christianity was dependent upon nothing but God’s free gift of grace, bestowed on all who would accept that gift by faith, Gentile and Jew alike. Because it declares this universality and confutes the Judaizing Christians, the letter is one of the great theological cornerstones of Christianity, according to Dr. Barclay. The Letter to the Ephesians, “The Queen of the Epistles,” was a circular letter to the Christian churches generally. The main theme is the universal battle between good and evil, and the ultimate unity to be achieved only when all things are gathered together in Christ.
