What "don't" Christians believe? Is Jesus really divine? Is Jesus
really human? Can God suffer? Can people be saved by their own
efforts?
The early church puzzled over these questions, ruling in some
beliefs and ruling out others. "Heresies and How to Avoid Them"
explains the principal ancient heresies and shows why contemporary
Christians still need to know about them. These famous detours in
Christian believing seemed plausible and attractive to many people
in the past, and most can still be found in modern-day guises. By
learning what it is that Christians don't believe--and
why--believers today can gain a deeper, truer understanding of
their faith.
More than twenty-five years have passed since the publication in
1979 of "Brothers and Sisters to Us," the U.S. Bishops' statement
against racism, and during this time white Catholic theologians
have remained relatively silent on this topic. In this hard-hitting
study, prominent Roman Catholic theologians address white
priviletge and the way it contributes to racism. They maintain that
systems of white privilege are a significant factor in maintaining
evil systems of racism in our country and that most white
theologians and ethicists remain ignorant of their negative impact.
One of the most powerful forces in the twenty-first century is the
increasing phenomenon of globalization. In nearly every realm of
human activity, traditional boundaries are disappearing and people
worldwide are more interconnected than ever. Christianity has also
become more aware of global realities and the important role of the
church in non-Western countries. Church leaders must grapple with
the implications for theology and ministry in an ever-shrinking
world.
"Globalizing Theology" is a groundbreaking book that addresses
these issues of vital importance to the church. It contains
articles from leading scholars, including Tite Tienou, Kevin
Vanhoozer, Charles Van Engen, M. Daniel Carroll R., Andrew Walls,
Vinoth Ramachandra, and Paul Hiebert. Topics covered include the
challenges that globalization brings to theology, how we can
incorporate global perspectives into our thinking, and the effect a
more global theology has on a variety of important issues.
With warmth and encouragement Pastor John Mark Comer, author of
ECPA Bestseller The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, offers guidance

that seek to steal your happiness, wholeness and holiness. As

soul that feed us deceptive ideas to harm our spiritual well-being:
the world, the flesh and the devil. Live No Lies parses out the
tactics, strengths and weaknesses of these enemies, giving you a
clear battle plan and spiritual practices to outwit and overcome
these evils. Skilfully weaving together uplifting wisdom and
reassuring, practical guidance, this is a book for anyone looking
for everyday disciplines to help them care for their soul. Live No
Lies will equip you with all you need to make practices for
resisting evil an active part of your spiritual formation, and
leave you motivated to find happiness and peace in Jesus. That
tug-of-war in your chest for wholeness? Those lies that sabotage
your peace? It's time to identify them, and defeat them.
