This study provides an accessible curriculum for the average
church-goer, to those looking for biblical and theological answers
to the questions of gender identity in the 21st century. Male and
Female He Created Them is a new curriculum on manhood, womanhood,
gender and sexuality. Curated by specialists in the area of study,
Burke, Smothers and Closson present a positive vision for biblical
sexuality and engage contemporary discussions around gender
orientation, gender dysphoria and identity with the timeless truth
of Scripture. By the completion of the study, participants will
have a better grasp on the Biblical teachings around gender,
sexuality and the implications around such subjects in the 21st
century; thence allowing an increased scope in their ministries in
church, home and work.
Recent years have seen much controversy regarding a unified
Christian doctrine of hell: Do we go to heaven or hell when we die?
Or do we cease to exist? Are believers and unbelievers ultimately
saved by grace in the end? By focusing on recent theological
arguments, Four Views on Hell: Second Edition highlights why the
church still needs to wrestle with the doctrine of hell. In the
fair-minded and engaging Counterpoints format, four leading
scholars introduce us to the current views on eternal judgment,
with particular attention given to the new voices that have entered
the debate. Contributors and views include: Denny Burk -
representing a principle of Eternal Conscious Torment John
Stackhouse - representing a principle of Annihilationism
(Conditional Immortality) Robin Parry - representing a principle of
Universalism (Ultimate Reconciliation) Jerry Walls - representing a
principle of Purgatory Preston Sprinkle concludes the discussion by
evaluating each view, noting significant points of exchange between
the essayists. The interactive nature of the volume allows the
reader to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of each view and
come to an informed conclusion. BONUS CONTENT: Includes entire
first edition of Four Views on Hell to help readers grasp the
history of the discussion and how it has developed over the last
twenty years.
Within the hallowed walls of the cathedral, there is intrigue --
and murder... Monsignor Nick Hartery, former chancellor of the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles, now on the outs, is promised a bishop's
hat by the cardinal if he makes the scandalous suicide of Danny
Hall, a young ex-priest, "go away." Hartery soon discovers that the
handsome ex-priest was murdered and that Duryea, the current
chancellor, is somehow involved. Hartery, in love with a woman and
driven by ambition, wonders about pursuing the killer. However,
Hartery is changed by his contact with Catherine Yacenda, a Mexican
mystic and ex-nun. He pursues the killer, discovers a shocking
secret -- and the mystery behind the death of Danny Hall unravels.

Many New Testament scholars still operate under the mistaken notion
that all of the problems of New Testament Greek grammar were worked
out in the nineteenth century. This false assumption arises from an
ignorance of developments in the field of modern linguistics. In
focusing on one significant aspect of grammar, the semantic and/or
syntactic value of the articular infinitive, Burk undertakes to
move beyond the standard New Testament grammar books. His question
is: What does the article contribute to the total linguistic
meaning of the infinitive in the Greek of the New Testament? To
answer it he uses methods and results from modern linguistic
analysis, an approach far different from that of traditional
grammar. Burk argues that the article with the infinitive is
different from the article with other kinds of words. With other
kinds of words the article encodes ideas such as definiteness,
substantivization, and anaphora. The article with the infinitive,
however, does not denote ideas such as these. With the infinitive
the article is a function marker that signifies a
grammatical-structural relation that may not otherwise be apparent.
Discussing many examples from the New Testament, Burk shows his
thesis has benefits not only for our understanding of Hellenistic
Greek grammar, but also for our exegesis of the New Testament.
Offering a rigorous exegesis of 1 Timothy 2:9–15, this classic
volume explores Paul’s teaching on women’s roles in the local
church. Now includes a new preface, a new conclusion, and new and
updated chapters.
Sex.
We live in a world that loves it without understanding it. This
book clearly explains the truth about sex and winsomely responds to
society's evolving views on human sexuality and gender.
From marriage to birth control, homosexuality to singleness,
What is the Meaning of Sex? sets forth a distinctly Christian
perspective, equipping you to engage our confused culture with a
God-glorifying vision of human sexuality.
