Basic Questions In Theology 1

Sermon On The Mount
$41.99Add to cartIn The Setting of the Sermon on the Mount, first published by the Cambridge University Press in 1964 and issued as a paperback in 1976, Professor Davies made a new approach to the Sermon, placing it in its historical setting within the context of the world from which it originated. This shorter book sets out the main lines of his argument in a more accessible form so as to interest the widest possible readership. The Sermon has been described both as a pernicious document, and as the finest statement of the highest morality ever produced. Professor Davies examines it in five settings. First he considers how Matthew himself intended the Sermon to be understood, placing it in its setting within the Gospel as a whole and showing that Matthew presented Jesus as a second Moses and lawgiver. He then considers it in the setting of Jewish Messianic expectation and the contemporary Judaism, where he shows that there were certain forces at work which led to the presentation of Jesus in this light. He discusses whether this concept was an innovation or whether forces in the early church prepared the way for this interpretation, and finally he debates whether Matthew was departing from the mind of Jesus himself.

$32.99Add to cartThe Reformers and Their Stepchildren is a brilliant and well-documented book that reveals the tension between the church and Christendom.

All The Kingdoms Of The Earth
$26.00Add to cartThis is a remarkable book…. The author is concerned to study the problem of international relations in the Near East, particularly in Israel, and to see if any patterns emerge which have relevance for the modern discussion….
Perhaps the crucial period for anyone to study the prophetic position toward power politics is in the message of Isaiah during the 8th century. Here is a complex of material calling for literary, historical, and theological judgment. Gottwald moves through the difficulties with great sensitivity, avoiding the usual oversimplifications and easy harmonizations.
This book should serve a wide audience. It will be most useful to Biblical specialists, but beyond this, it offers a solid foundation for non-specialists who are interested in the general subject of political ethics.

Dogmatics In Outline
$15.99Add to cartBarth stands before us as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century, yet the massive corpus of work which he left behind, the multi volume Church Dogmatics, can seem daunting and formidable to readers today. Fortunately his Dogmatics in Outline first published in English in 1949, contains in brilliantly concentrated form even in shorthand, the essential tenets of his thinking. Built around the assertions made in the Apostles Creed the book consists of a series of reflections on the foundation stones of Christian doctrine.

Faith And Perseverance A Print On Demand Title
$29.99Add to cartIn times when men’s hearts are failing them for fear, in a period when many voices are clamoring for a hearing, the esteemed G. C. Berkouwer aptly commences his penetrating study by drawing attention to the timeliness and relevance of the doctrine of perseverance. He writes, “There is something very strange about this doctrine, something which confronts us with the problem of permanence in a unique way, because we are so conscious of our own changeableness. Our lives are subject to numberless variations and fluctuations. In the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints do we not have merely a projection of human desires, a hope which flies in the face of life’s realities? Does it not grasp after something that is denied us as changeable men?”
Facing this paradoxical nature of his subject, Berkouwer shows that the perseverance of the saints is unbreakably connected with the assurance of faith and warns us against speaking of constancy without standing in faith. To separate the doctrine of perseverance from its living and existential relationship to the gospel, to Word and sacrament, to promise and demand, petrifies it into a mere play of concepts drained of all life.
The thoroughness with which Berkouwer treats the history of the discussions affecting this important subject (from the days of Tertullian and Augustine, through the Reformers, Ritschl, and Schleiermacher, down to Edmund Schlink and Karl Barth) gives this book a special value to all students of theology.

Sacramental Teaching And Practice In The Reformation Churches A Print On De
$17.99Add to cart“In the present study we shall be primarily concerned with sacramental practice and interpretation as they are to be found in the Reformation churches and especially those which took the Reformed rather than the Lutheran path. But this does not mean that we shall be committed merely to an historical survey. The main interest of the Reformers themselves was to be true to the teachings of Holy Scripture itself, and we shall be most loyal to them if, along with the general lines of their tradition, we attempt a biblical rather than an historical statement. This will have a threefold advantage. It will submit the Reformed interpretation itself to its own biblical standard. It will bring us into fruitful contact with other views in which over-emphases or distortions conceal positive elements of truth. And it will give to our discussion a living relevance for Christians of the present day, for whom the sacraments may never be regarded merely as objects of scientific enquiry, but must always be gratefully used as divinely ordained means of blessing.” – Geoffrey W. Bromiley (from the introduction)

$21.99Add to cartThe Teaching of the Epistle to the Hebrews is the work of Geerhardus Vos, a man described as the most penetrating English-language exegete of the twentieth century. This volume contains Vos’s classroom lectures on Hebrews, distilling his long teaching experience on the subject into one slim volume. It is especially valuable for its scriptural illumination of such theological subjects as Christology and eschatology.
Vos first examines the strong connection of this New Testament epistle to the Old Testament and explains why the older scripture plays such a prominent role in the new. He then discusses how the concept of the Diatheke – the new covenant promise and lasting testament between God and man – found in Hebrews affects the whole of Christianity. Vos also points out that Hebrews presents its own philosophy of redemption and revelation and that it offers a significant, corrective teaching on the subject of Christian eschatology. Finally he sets forth the epistle’s teachings on the priesthood of Christ and the better sacrifice of the new covenant.
Vos’s work on Hebrews provides readers with exacting scholarship, illuminating comment, and intensive study – all testifying to his profound love of the Word of God.

Always A Brother
$32.99Add to cartWho is Johnny Amund? He would describe himself as a frustrated man, a log-truck driver and mediocre employee. Mary Amund would explain it differently; the serious and purposeful young man she married has been dealt blows that are twisting him into a bitter recluse who doesn’t seem to care anymore.
An altercation at work gets Johnny’s attention and embarrassed, he evaluates his lifestyle and choices. Johnny realizes his life and marriage are worth saving and begins trying. Mary is ecstatic to see changes in her husband and is encouraged by her father to stick with the big trucker. When logging operations are shut-down during fire season, they take a trip and Johnny realizes what he has been taking for granted–a caring wife who has supported him through his pain and anger. Staggered by the sadness and loss his actions have caused, and how close he is to losing her, Johnny sets his mind to make things right.
The changes in Johnny are noticed and appreciated by his boss and coworkers and friendships grow. When a violent abduction of a newly hired trucker occurs, Johnny is surprised at how swiftly he moves from spectator to active participant, and the measure of trust he has recently earned propels him into new responsibility. Reflection on training he received as a child helps Johnny become the solid and caring person he used to be.
Unanswered questions abound regarding the abduction and through the busy winter, fear and uncertainty in the company give Johnny and Mary opportunity to share their growing strength with coworkers and in doing so, build rich friendships. At the same time, circumstances from Johnny’s past loom large. Mary helps him as he does his best to remember the positive and not obsess about the unknown. But when an unexpected and tragic message from the past arrives, Mary worries their newfound happiness will not survive.
Set in the beautiful Central Interior of British Columbia, this story revolves around an old Norse proverb and a young man with no blood family who reclaims his life and in doing so becomes the true brother he was expected to be.
