What can we learn from Augustine about apologetics? This book shows
how Augustine defended the faith in late antiquity and how his
approach to engaging the culture has great significance for the
apologetic task today. Joshua Chatraw and Mark Allen, coauthors of
the award-winning Apologetics at the Cross (an Outreach magazine
and Gospel Coalition Resource of the Year), recover Augustine's
mature apologetic voice to address the challenges facing today's
church. The Augustine Way offers a compelling argument for
Christian witness that is rooted in tradition and engaged with
contemporary culture. It focuses on Augustine's best-known works,
Confessions and The City of God, to retrieve his scriptural and
ecclesial approach for a holistic apologetic witness. This book
will be useful for students as well as for pastors, church leaders,
and practitioners of Christian apologetics. It puts pastors and
churches back at the center of apologetics, transcending popular
contemporary methods with a view to a more effective witness in
post-Christendom.

Christianity Today Book Award of Merit-Popular Theology The Gospel
Coaltion Award of Distinction-Popular Theology Every generation
faces the temptation to wander from orthodoxy-to seek out the jolt
that comes with false teaching, and to drift with cultural
currents. And so every generation must be awakened again to the
thrill of orthodoxy, and experience the astonishment that comes
from stumbling afresh upon the electrifying paradoxes at the heart
of the Christian faith. In The Thrill of Orthodoxy, Trevin Wax
turns the tables on those who believe Christian teaching is narrow
and outdated. Returning to the church's creeds, he explains what
orthodoxy is and why we can have proper confidence in it, and lays
out common ways we can stray from it. By showing how heresies are
always actually narrower than orthodoxy-taking one aspect of the
truth and wielding it as a weapon against others-Wax beckons us
away from the broad road that ultimately proves bland and boring,
and toward the straight and narrow path, where true adventure can
be found.
This interdisciplinary volume presents international research and
theories focusing on the development of the individual across the
life span. Centering on "family" as the key context influencing,
and being influenced by the developing person, the contributors to
this volume discuss an array of theoretical models, methodological
strategies, and substantive foci linking the study of individual
development, the family system, and the broader context of human
development. The volume presents continuing empirical research and
theories in the realm of individual and family development and
features a developmental, contextual view from a process-oriented
vantage point.
At the beginning of the thirteenth century the recovery by western
Christendom from the Arabs, Jews and Greeks of the metaphysical
treatises of Aristotle, and their translation into Latin, caused a
ferment in the intellectual world comparable to that produced by
Darwin in the nineteenth century. To vindicate traditional
methodoxy Albertus Magnus undertook to harmonize the doctrines of
the Church with the Peripatetic philosophy, and this work was
carried to its conclusion by his pupil, St Thomas Aquinas, with
such success that the latter has become the official philosopher of
Roman Catholicism. The system of Aquinas centres in his conception
of God, to the exposition and criticism of which this book is
devoted.

Target Audience: Christian adults, college students, and readers of Jerry Bridges. Also church leaders and discipleship pastors.
Now available in softcover with a new, contemporary watercolor design that blends with Jerry Bridge’s most popular books. This new edition now includes the study guide (formerly available separately), combining that resource into this book.
What Ever Happened to Sin? Jerry Bridges helps us confront the sins we tolerate.
The Christian journey is a life of practiced godliness, but too often we overlook or minimize sins that, while corrosive and destructive to ourselves and those around us, are overshadowed by more flashy, headline-grabbing sins. This classic book from Jerry Bridges helps readers understand and commit to a life of holiness by examining patterns of behavior we often accept as normal, rather than as violations of God’s law.
Now with 250K copies in print! Revised and Updated Edition. Anne
affirms that Heaven truly is the home of your dreams: a home of
lasting value that's fully paid for and filled with family, where
you will be wanted and welcomed. Best of all, Heaven is a home you

revised content, Anne Graham Lotz has updated her classic book on
Heaven for a whole new generation of readers, and also for herself.
With her father, mother, and husband now gone, Lotz beautifully
adds her own vulnerability and stories to the journey contained in
Heaven: My Father's House. Jesus promised us, "In My Father's house
are many rooms...I am going there to prepare a place for you." Amid
the turbulence of today's world, we cling to the hope of a heavenly
home where we will be welcomed into eternal peace and safety. Anne
affirms that Heaven truly is the home of your dreams: a home of
lasting value that's fully paid for and filled with family, where

How does Christ's obedience relate to our salvation? Speaking into
current conversations about the nature of salvation, respected New
Testament scholar Brandon Crowe argues that we are saved by
Christ's perfect obedience, which has implications for
understanding the gospel message, Christian hope, and discipleship.
Jesus is not only the quintessential model of faithfulness in a
fallen world, but his unique work frees us from the burden of
perfect obedience.

In the early 1560s Frederick III (1516-76), Elector Palatine
desired that his subjects be led to a 'devout knowledge and fear of
the Almighty and his holy Word of salvation'. He commissioned a
group of theologians and ministers to compose a catechetical
summary of biblical truth that could be committed to memory and be
an encouragement to personal faith and growth in Christ. The final
version was approved by the Synod in Heidelberg (1563), the city
lending its name to the catechism.
The Heidelberg Catechism follows the pattern of the Epistle to
the Romans. It opens with the question 'What is your only comfort
in life and in death?', and then examines the realities of human
sin and misery (Rom. 1-3:20); salvation in Christ, including faith
and repentance (Rom. 3:21-11:36); and the Christian life of
thankful obedience in response to God's grace in Christ (Rom.
12-16). The catechism stands as a faithful testimony to the ancient
Christian faith in its scripturally derived shape and content, and
further expressed in its exposition and application of the
Apostles' Creed, the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper,
the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer. FROM THE FOREWORD BY
WILLIAM VANDOODEWAARD
