Christian Basics : Lessons Debates And Conversations
$11.75
Christian Basics is written by Kent Philpott, thirty-one years the pastor of Miller Avenue Baptist Church in Mill Valley, California, and is written for that congregation. It is helpful for new believers and also for those with a more mature biblical orientation. Philpott earned an M.Div. from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary and a D.Min. from San Francisco Theological Seminary. He has authored some fifteen books starting in the 1970s and has been published by Zondervan Publishing House, Logos International, Bible Voice, and Evangelical Press in the UK. Christian Basics is structured around “Lessons, Debates, and Conversations.” Section One consists of sixteen lessons in three parts. Part One: The God Who Reveals Himself. Its seven lessons are The God of the Bible, Revelation, Scripture, The Old Testament, The New Testament, How We Got the Bible, and The Great Paradoxes of the Bible. Part Two looks at The Great Themes of the Bible in five lessons: Election, Presence, Rest, Peace, Two Messiahs, Judgment, Persecution/Triumph of Christ’s Church. Part Three considers Christianity in four lessons: The Church, The Christian Ethic, The Christian Life, and Church History. Section Two contains fifteen lessons in two parts: Four Debates and Eleven Conversations. The Four Debates: The Exclusiveness of Jesus, The Authority of Scripture, Heaven and Hell, and Same-Sex Marriage. These debates are extramural in nature, meaning that they define biblical Christianity and are essential to the Christian identity. The Eleven Conversations: Abortion, Baptism and Lord’s Supper, Church Government, Divorce and Remarriage, Ecumenism, End Time Scenarios, Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Music in the Church, Origins, Politics and War, Reformed vs. Arminian Theology, and Women in the Church. These conversations are intramural in nature, being issues that Christians may disagree on, but they invite differing interpretations. They are squabbles taking place within the Family.

Person Of Interest
$24.99Dateline featured cold-case detective and best-selling author J. Warner Wallace investigates Jesus, the most significant person in history, like one of his “missing body, cold-cases,” demonstrating why Jesus still matters today, even in a world that is skeptical of the Bible.
Detective J. Warner Wallace listened to a pastor talk about Jesus and wondered why anyone would think Jesus was a person of interest.
Wallace was skeptical of the Bible, but he’d investigated several “no-body, missing person” cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim’s body. He successfully identified and convicted the killers in these cases, even without evidence from the scene.
Could the historical life and actions of Jesus be investigated in the same way? Could the truth about Jesus be uncovered even without a body or a crime scene? In Person of Interest, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity, as he employs a unique investigative strategy to confirm the historicity and deity of Jesus–without relying on the New Testament manuscripts.
Imagining a scenario in which every New Testament document has been destroyed, Wallace carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone to reconstruct the identity of Jesus as the world’s most important person of interest.
Person of Interest will:
*Invite readers into the life of a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus, using the same approach he also employs to solve a real murder case*Teach readers how to become good detectives, using an innovative and unique “‘fuse’ and ‘fallout'” investigative strategy they can also use to examine other claims of history
*Show how Jesus changed the world and why He still matters today
*Help readers to explore common objections to Christianity
Creative, compelling, and unique in its approach, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers, while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament.
