With a firm grasp of the progress of salvation history, this accessible guide helps Christians interpret the Old Testament, see how it testifies to Jesus, believe that Jesus secured every divine promise, and understand how Moses’s law still matters.
In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology, Stephen J. Wellum examines the divinity and humanity of Christ, focusing on who Jesus is from Scripture and historical theology, showing readers why Jesus is unique and how they should think about the incarnation.
Gentry and Wellum present a thoughtful and viable alternative to both covenant theology and dispensationalism. Second edition features updated and revised content, clarifying key material and providing up-to-date research.
This book introduces readers to the biblical covenants, charting a middle course between dispensationalism and covenant theology. An accessible and abridged version of the influential theological work Kingdom through Covenant.
This multidisciplinary treatment of the doctrine of Christ's deity combines evangelical scholarship with substantial and accessible theological content. Volume 3 in the noted Theology in Community series.
Laying out a systematic summary of Christology from philosophical, biblical, and historical perspectives, this book leads to the ultimate conclusion that Christ is God the Son incarnate.
Our culture has a lot to say about heaven. But too much of it is based more on imaginative speculation or "supernatural" experiences than on the Bible itself. In the latest addition to the Theology in Community series, Christopher Morgan and Robert Peterson have assembled an interdisciplinary team of evangelical scholars to explore the doctrine of heaven from a variety of angles. Among other contributors, Ray Ortlund examines the concept of heaven in the Old Testament, Gerald Bray explores the history of theological reflection about heaven, and Ajith Fernando looks at persecuted saints' special relationship to heaven in the New Testament. This team of first rate scholars offers modern readers a comprehensive overview of this often misunderstood topic--shedding biblical light on the eternal hope of all Christians.
"When evangelicals confuse an improper passion for novelty with
a proper pursuit of academic and pastoral relevance, the results
can be distressing. I cannot express how grateful I am for the
well-formed wisdom with which this book points to the abiding and
decisive relevance for future route-finding of the old theological
paths." "For those evangelicals who-like myself-are increasingly
troubled by extravagant claims made by various evangelical scholars
about the nature of the 'postmodern' challenge, as well as by
earnest calls to develop new epistemological and theological
perspectives in response to this challenge, the writers of these
essays shed much light. This book is must-reading for everyone who
wants to promote a clear-thinking evangelicalism for our
contemporary context." "Here is a collection of intelligent, provocative, gutsy essays
that dare to fly into the eye of the scholarly storm over
evangelical identity. Though different perspectives are present
even here, the underlying thesis is clear and worth heeding: the
eager, and sometimes uncritical, embrace of postmodernist paradigms
may be as premature as it has proven to be unproductive for the
well-being of the evangelical church. One of the most important
books of the new century!" "Provocative, timely, and controversial!" "Compromise and confusion stand at the center of
evangelicalism's theological crisis, and a clear-headed and
convictional analysis of the problem has been desperately needed.
Thankfully, Reclaiming the Center has arrived just in time. . . .
My fervent hope is that it will open evangelical eyes, humble
evangelical hearts, and awaken this generation to the peril of
accommodationism." "The authors of this well-designed volume provide a bold and
well-argued response to what is sometimes called 'postconservative
evangelicalism.' This important conversation regarding the essence,
center, and boundaries of evangelicalism is here explored,
interpreted, and assessed from a well-informed theological,
philosophical, and historical perspective. . . . I heartily commend
this volume and trust it will find a large readership."
"Everyone who believes in God at all believes that He knows what
you and I are going to do tomorrow." This understanding of God's foreknowledge has united the church for twenty centuries. But advocates of "open theism" are presenting a different vision of God and a different view of the future. The rise of open theism within evangelicalism has raised a host of questions. Was classical theism decisively tainted by Greek philosophy? How should we understand passages that tell us that God repents? Are essentials of biblical Christianity-like the inerrancy of Scripture, the trustworthiness of God, and the Gospel of Christ-at stake in this debate? Where, when, and why should we draw new boundaries-and is open theism beyond them? Beyond the Bounds brings together a respected team of scholars to examine the latest literature, address these questions, and give guidance to the church in this time of controversy. Contributors include: John Piper Wayne Grudem Michael S. Horton Bruce A. Ware Mark R. Talbot A. B. Caneday Stephen J. Wellum Justin Taylor Paul Kjoss Helseth Chad Brand William C. Davis Russell Fuller "We have prepared this book to address the issue of boundaries
and, we pray, bring some remedy to the present and impending pain
of embracing open theism as a legitimate Christian vision of God. .
. . As a pastor, who longs to be biblical and God-centered and
Christ-exalting and eternally helpful to my people, I see open
theism as theologically ruinous, dishonoring to God, belittling to
Christ, and pastorally hurtful. My prayer is that Christian leaders
will come to see it this way, and thus love the church by counting
open theism beyond the bounds of orthodox Christian
teaching."
