Redescubrir El Espiritu Santo – (Spanish)
$18.99
El Espiritu Santo esta tan activamente involucrado en nuestras vidas que damos por sentada su presencia. Como dicen, la familiaridad lleva a la indiferencia. Al igual que damos por sentado el aire que respiramos, hacemos lo mismo con el Espiritu Santo simplemente porque dependemos constantemente de el. Como el baston llega a ser una extension del cuerpo del ciego, comenzamos a creer con demasiada facilidad que el Espiritu Santo es una extension de nosotros mismos. Sin embargo, el Espiritu esta en el centro de la accion en el drama divino desde Genesis 1:2 hasta Apocalipsis 22:17. La obra del Espiritu es tan esencial como la del Padre y el Hijo, pero la obra del Espiritu se atribuye siempre a la persona y a la obra de Cristo. De hecho, la eficacia de la mision del Espiritu Santo se mide por el grado en el que estamos conectados con Cristo. El Espiritu Santo es la persona de la Trinidad que trae la obra del Padre, en el Hijo, hasta su finalizacion. En todo lo que la Trinidad realiza, este trabajo de perfeccionamiento es caracteristico del Espiritu. En este libro el autor, pastor y teologo Mike Horton presenta a los lectores la persona olvidada del Espiritu Santo, demostrando que las obras del Espiritu de Dios son mucho mas comunes de lo que pensamos. Horton sostiene que debemos dar un paso atras para enfocarnos en el Espiritu, su persona y sus obras, a fin de reconocerlo como alguien distinto a Jesus o a nosotros mismos, y mucho menos como parte de su creacion. A traves de esta contemplacion podemos obtener una nueva dependencia del Espiritu Santo en cada area de nuestras vidas

4 Views On Hell
$21.23Most contemporary Christians, while giving lip service to the doctrine of hell, prefer not to think about it. Few like to reflect on how God punishes the wicked. The authors of Four Views on Hell meet this subject head on and propose different views of what the Scriptures say about hell. Many Christians still hold to a literal understanding of hell, that it is a place of eternal smoke and flames. John F. Walvoord is a strong advocate of this view. William V. Crockett defends a metaphorical view, seeing hell as a place of eternal conscious punishment but not necessarily as being a literal fire. Clark H. Pinnock articulates the view of conditional immortality, that God eventually destroys the souls of the wicked rather than punishing them endlessly. Finally, Zackary J. Hayes explains the thinking that undergirds the doctrine of Purgatory. Evangelicals will have a greater appreciation for why this doctrine developed centuries ago in the church. The authors interact with one another by responding to each other’s articles.

Mosaic Of Atonement
$34.99The Mosaic of Atonement offers a fresh and integrated approach to historic models of atonement.While modern treatments of the doctrine have tended toward either a defensive hierarchy, in which one model is singled out as most important, or a disconnected plurality, in which multiple images are affirmed but with no order of arrangement, this book argues for a reintegration of four famous “pieces” of atonement doctrine through the governing image of Christ-shaped mosaic.Unlike a photograph in which tiny pixels present a seamless blending of color and shape, a mosaic allows each piece to retain its recognizable particularity, while also integrating them in the service of a single larger image. If one stands close, one can identify individual squares of glass or tile that compose the greater picture. And if one steps back, there is the larger picture to be admired. Yet in the great mosaics of age-old Christian churches, the goal is not for viewers to construct the image, as in a puzzle, but to appreciate it.So too with this mosaic of atonement doctrine. While no one model is set above or against the others, the book notes particular ways in which the “pieces”–the feet, heart, head, and hands–mutually support one another to form a more holistic vision of Christ’s work. “This is my body,” Jesus said to his followers, and by reintegrating these oft-dismembered aspects of atonement, we will note fresh ways in which it was given for us.

Power Of Pictures In Christian Thought
$41.99Part One considers key philosophical and aesthetic evaluations of literary images and symbols. The power of pictures is widely appreciated, as in the adage ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. Sometimes Christian discourse can be smothered by endless prose, which demands much inferential reasoning. There is, however, a contrary argument. An isolated visual representation can be misleading if it is improperly interpreted. For example, some mystical visions are interpreted as direct instructions from the Holy Spirit, as happened with the Radical Reformers, who advocated the Peasants’ Revolt. Hence theories of symbol, metaphor, and visual representation must be examined Part Two discusses visual representation in the Old Testament, the teaching of Jesus, pictures and analogies in Paul, and the Book of Revelation. This shows the range of authentic visual representations. In contrast to biblical material, we find throughout Christian history abundant examples of misleading imagery which is often passed off as Christian. A notorious example is found in the visual representation and metaphors used by Gnostic writers. Almost as bad are some visual representations used by the medieval mystics, Radical Reformers, and extreme charismatics – all of which lack valid criteria of interpretation, relying instead on subjective conviction. Similarly, sermons and prayers today can be enriched with pictorial images, but some can be misleading and unhelpful for the life of the Church.
