This latest book in the insightful and entertaining Banned
Questions series addresses fifty questions about Christians that
many of us have wondered regarding Hell, sprinkle vs dunk baptism,
gay and lesbian issues in ministry, the inconsistencies of
communion, the multitude of denominations, God's allowance of
suffering in the world, and more. This is a great addition to your
library as you (or your study group) ponder the questions many have
wanted to ask and few were brave enough to answer.
We all long for a full, rich satisfying life. But how do we fill up
the empty places in our soul? How can we quench our thirst for
something deeper, more lasting, more meaningful? John urges us to
take a fresh look at Jesus and he invites us to renew our faith in
the One who promises to be the way to true life. 26 studies in 2
parts for individuals or groups. This revised title features
questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in
personal reflection, as well as a "now or later" section in each
study.
This book describes the development of the Christian understanding
of God from the second to the eighth century as witnessed by major
theologians who gradually realized that the Incarnate Word made
flesh was not the God of the philosophers. They helped construct
the great dogmas of the Christological councils. Beginning with the
Apologists and ending with Maximus Confessor, the theological
tradition overcame the notion of impassible deity in favor of the
humble God of Christian faith, the Word made flesh.
Who are we when nobody's looking? Do we practise what we preach, or do
we take the easy way out and follow the crowd?

they must seek and acquire wisdom.

and leaves for your harvesting life-sustaining wisdom. His
considerations probe the motivation driving decisions and the
resulting worldly and spiritual consequences.

or foolish, good or evil. Discover how you can make wise decisions
and act wisely, even in the face of adversity. Discover who Wisdom
is

Praise for the First Edition
"Much recent scholarship has emphasized the narrative quality of
Scripture. This book takes that insight and brings it to life,
enabling even the beginner to grasp the sense of Scripture as a
single great story--a drama in which we are all invited to play a
part. I am delighted to see solid scholarship made easily
accessible in this splendid fashion."--N. T. Wright, University of
St. Andrews
"A masterful job of presenting the Bible as an organic whole. All
who want to enrich their understanding of the account of God's
redemptive plan will benefit from reading this book."--Tremper
Longman III, Westmont College
ESV Illuminated Scripture Journal: Psalms pairs the entirety of the
