Following on from his first book, 'Internal Revolution', 'A
Champion's Resolve' offers grace and inspiration to not only be
victorious, but to help others in their own walk with God. It's a
very transparent account of a modern man's pursuit and passion to
live a pure life, set apart for God. Containing personal testimony
backed up by solid Bible teaching it serves to ensure the reader
never gives up their own struggle. With the courage of a cage
fighter Rob Joy attacks the spiritual forces that have the
potential to rob the Christian of their effectiveness and
faithfulness.
In this book, Dr. Werner Keller has brought the Bible alive for
countless readers by telling the exciting story of how
archaeologists have adventured 4000 years into the past to document
events and to illuminate the backgrounds of the Scriptures. With
this entirely fresh, lavishly illustrated new volume, the same
distinguished author makes the world of the Bible visible as well
as intelligible. He has selected a wide range of
photographs-scenery, monuments, sculptures, wall paintings,
excavations and the rest- to illustrate the Bible story. In his
text he links the pictures to the words of the Scriptures and adds
explanatory notes in such a way as to provide a unique companion to
the Bible which will appeal to every reader.

This volume initiates von Balthasar's study of the biblical vision
and understanding of God's glory. Starting with the theopanies of
the Patriarchal period, it shows how such glory is most fully
expressed in the graciousness of the Covenant relationship between
God and Israel.
This volume presents a series of studies of representative mystics,
theologians, philosophers, and poets and explores the three
mainstreams of metaphysics which have developed since the
catastrophe of Nominalism.
Holy Rosary has been treasured in the Catholic Church for many
centuries. It is a summary of Christian faith in language and
prayers inspired by the Bible. This pamphlet gives the background,
meaning, and technique of this prayer.
Arianism is the archetypal Christian heresy. It was not only a
watershed historically; its central issue-the question of Christ's
full co-equal divinity as Son of God-remains an issue of deep
concern to every generation of Christians, including our own. The
traditional critique of Arianism is that its errors arise from an
over-intellectual approach to Christianity, that it failed because
it lacked a gospel of salvation. Questions about that traditional
view have been raised here and there in recent years. This book
challenges it head on. It does no on a basis of careful
scholarship, and at the same time in a lively and readable style.'
Maurice Wiles, Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of
Oxford 'Gregg and Groh have enabled us to see the thought of Arius
on the nature of Christ as condensing nothing less than a
distinctive view of man, congruent to a precise social and
religious milieu. As a result, the clash of disembodied dogmas
becomes suffused with the quality of a late Roman Christian's most
urgent concerns: "love and betrayal, grace and backsliding". Now
presented with liberating precision in all its implications-from
conflicting attitudes to change and stability in society and the
universe, to vivid glimpses of the bustling world of Greek cities
contrasted with the unearthly stillness of St Anthony in the
desert-a well-worn chapter of Christian dogma emerges as a high
moment in the birth of a new civilization in the Roman world. This
is a model book, that any scholar of Christian doctrine would
dearly wish to have written; and that every scholar of the early
Christian world must read.' Peter Brown, Professor of History and
Classics in the University of California at Berkeley 'Gregg and
Groh propose a novel approach to the most profound crisis of the
dogmatic tradition in the ancient church. They extract from the
denunciation of the errors of Arius ... a striking view of the
ancient doctrine of salvation. The principle aspects of this
doctrine remain too often neglected by the critics. But with Gregg
and Groh the saviour God of Arius is brought back to life,
reactivated ... The authors display in convincing fashion the
original accents of this doctrine, at the heart of the Christian
community, before it had become nothing but a heresy charged
doctrine... They promote a healthy reflection on the more fixed
forms of antiArian dogmatism, passively transmitted over the
centuries.' Charles Kannengiesser, Professeur a Onstitut Catholique
de Paris
"Collected writings on the Trinity, Christ, and the Holy Spirit"
In this collection of writings from one of the most well-known
theologians of the modern era, Packer strongly defends Trinitarian
theology and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ against contemporary
challenges. In so doing, he deals with theological issues such as
atonement, justification and universalism. He calls for believers
to be serious about the Holy Spirit, and his articles on this topic
are valuable examples of how to apply theological beliefs to
controversial issues within the church.
The articles range from short devotional pieces published in
church-sponsored journals, to opinion articles for popular journals
like Christianity Today, to major articles for scholarly journals.

Long-time activist, author and teacher of nonviolence, Father John Dear offers here the first ever commentary on the Synoptic Gospels from the perspective of active nonviolence, in the tradition of Gandhi and Dr. King. He walks through every line of the three synoptic Gospels pointing out Jesus’ practice and teachings of nonviolence each step of the way.
Dear’s Jesus is like Gandhi and Dr. King―nonviolent to the core, a disarming, healing presence toward those in need and a revolutionary disrupter of the unjust status quo and a political threat to the ruling authorities who succeed in killing him, only to push Jesus to the heights of nonviolence through his death and resurrection.
This original commentary brings a fresh new approach to the Gospels that will help all those who preach and engage in social ministries, and inspire everyone in this time of permanent warfare, gun violence, racism, poverty and climate change.

Early in their friendship, Monique and Krista faced what felt like
insurmountable barriers in their discussions about race and racism.
Rather than retreating into avoidant silence or escalating tension
until they burned down their friendship, they learned to face those
difficult conversations together—because as children of God, they saw
each other as worth it.
Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism is
about bringing Christ-centered answers to issues of race and racism.
Drawing a clear distinction between the secular culture's instructions
for agreement and Scripture's call for unity, authors Monique Duson and
Krista Bontrager explore what the Bible really says about racial
harmony and how Christians ultimately find their common identity in
Christ.
Avoiding cheap platitudes, Monique and Krista help you explore the
tough issues that the larger culture has brought into our churches,
such as critical race theory, systemic racism, and the call for
reparations. As you employ this Christ-centered model for racial unity,
you will find nuanced insights and practical guidelines for engaging
the divisive issues of today with the love and truth found only in
Jesus.
The acclaimed author of "Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates"

hope.
Just This is a collection of brief and evocative meditations and
practices that invites us to cultivate the gift of waking up to the
beauty of reality in all its glorious ordinariness. With his
signature blend of contemplation, theology, and pastoral
sensitivity, Fr Richard Rohr creates a spaciousness for the soul to
grow into a kind of seeing that goes far beyond merely looking to
recognising and thus appreciating. This is the heart of
contemplation, the centerpiece of any inner dialogue that frees us
from the traps of our perceptions and preoccupations. The
contemplative mind does not tell us what to see; it teaches us how
to see what we behold.
