What is so creative and fruitful about Anne Hunt's work on the
Trinity is her unique focus on interconnections. She adopts this as
a theological method, insightfully exploring the interconnections
between the Trinity and other mysteries of Christian faith. - Denis
Edwards, Flinders University School of Theology.
With clear writing---technical terms kept to a minimum---and a
contemporary approach, emphasizing how each doctrine should be
understood and applied by present-day Christians, Making Sense of
Who God is explores the existence of God through inner knowledge
and evidence found in Scripture and in nature. Topics include but
are not limited to Traditional Proofs for God s Existence: covering
cosmological, teleological, ontological, and moral evidence of the
Creator; The Trinity: the three distinct persons each equal to the
whole being of God; Creation: including the assertion that, when
all the facts are understood, there will be no final conflicts
between Scripture and natural science; and God s Providence: the
Creator s continued involvement with all created things and human
actions that make a difference within God s providence. Written in
a friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well
as the intellect, Making Sense of Who God is helps readers overcome
wrong ideas, make better decisions on new questions, and grow as
Christians."
Anthony M. Maher is academic dean and Head of Leadership and
Theology at BBI The Australian Institute of Theological Education.
How to Be a Christian brings together the best of Lewis's insights
on Christian practice and its expression in our daily lives.
Cultivated from his many essays, articles, and letters, as well as
his classic works. From the revered teacher and best-selling author
of such classic Christian works as Mere Christianity and The
Screwtape Letters comes a collection that gathers the best of C. S.
Lewis's practical advice on how to embody a Christian life. The
most famous adherent and defender of Christianity in the twentieth
century, C. S. Lewis has long influenced our perceptions and
understanding of the faith. More than fifty years after his death,
Lewis's arguments remain extraordinarily persuasive because they
originate from his deep insights into the Christian life itself.
Only an intellectual of such profound faith could form such cogent
and compelling reasons for its truth. By provoking readers to more
carefully ponder their faith, How to Be a Christian can help
readers forge a deeper understanding of their personal beliefs and
what is means to be a Christian, and strengthen their profound
relationship with God.
From devastating natural disasters to deadly highway accidents,
tragedies occur every day around the world and in our own lives. As
we face death, grief, loss, we become angry and our faith is tested
as we ask, "Is God really in control?"Navigator author Jerry
Bridges helps answer that question positively in this topical Bible
study, offering comfort and hope by exploring the greater purposes
and character of God.- Includes discussion questions- Can be used
by men, women, and teens

This accessible introduction to Christian worldview explores how
Christians can live faithfully at the crossroads of Scripture and
postmodern culture.
"Living at the Crossroads" first lays out a brief summary of the
biblical story and the most fundamental beliefs of Scripture. The
book then tells the story of Western culture from the classical
period to postmodernity. Authors Michael Goheen and Craig
Bartholomew next provide an analysis of how Christians live in the
tension that exists at the intersection of the biblical and
cultural stories. They proceed to tease out the implications for
key areas of life, such as education, scholarship, economics,
politics, and church. The result is a deeply thoughtful yet
approachable book that draws on the rich tradition of Reformational
thinking but contextualizes it to a postmodern setting.
"In this book, the authors show students how to recognize and
gradually understand more fully the relevance of the living Word of
God for their living, working, and studying in these complex and
often bewildering times. If I still had university-age children, I
would be very pleased if they received their basic introduction in
academics from these two trustworthy and deeply engaged Christian
educators."--Bob Goudzwaard, professor emeritus, Free University of
Amsterdam
"The concept of 'Christian worldview, ' let alone 'biblical
worldview, ' has more often been invoked than helpfully defined. In
this stimulating, well-informed, and practical sequel to "The Drama
of Scripture," Goheen and Bartholomew once again demonstrate their
remarkable effectiveness at articulating accessibly an
understanding of Christian identity in the West that is both
scripturallygrounded and, notably, shaped by the Reformed
intellectual tradition in its ecumenical context."--David L.
Jeffrey, author of "Houses of the Interpreter: Reading Scripture,
Reading Culture"
With clear writing---technical terms kept to a minimum---and a
contemporary approach, emphasizing how each doctrine should be
understood and applied by present-day Christians, Making Sense of
Christ and the Spirit explores Jesus Christ as fully God and fully
man in one person. Topics include The Person of Christ: including
the virgin birth---uniting full deity and humanity in one person
while enabling Christ s humanity to be without inherited sin---and
the incarnation---the act of God the Son whereby he took himself a
human nature; The Doctrine of the Atonement: the work Christ did in
his life and death to earn our salvation; and Jesus Resurrection
and Ascension: affirming the goodness of God s original creation of
man as a creature with a physical body that was very good, and his
rightful place in glory and honor that had not been his before as
the God-man. Written in a friendly tone, appealing to the emotions
and the spirit as well as the intellect, Making Sense of Christ and
the Spirit helps readers overcome wrong ideas, make better
decisions on new questions, and grow as Christians."
