In Reformation Women, Rebecca Vandoodewaard introduces listeners to 12 16th-century women who are not as well known today as contemporaries like Katie Luther and Lady Jane Grey. Providing an example to Christians today of strong service to Christ and his church, these influential, godly women were devoted to Reformation truth, in many cases provided support for their husbands, practiced hospitality, and stewarded their intellectual abilities.

Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges' historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings. Dwight Lyman Moody was one of the most famous Evangelists of the 19th century, giving thousands of sermons in hundreds of cities throughout the United States and England. He and his song leader, Ira Sankey, preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the highest and lowest members of society, using everyday examples and a common-man approach that enthralled them all.

It’s no secret that the Church today has lost its influence in culture. But why? With the technology, affluence, and knowledge we have today, why are we less effective than the first-century Church — which didn’t have social media or fancy buildings or professional pastors or even...

The most profound characteristic of Western Europe in the Middle Ages was its cultural and religious unity, a unity secured by a common alignment with the Pope in Rome and a common language - Latin - for worship and scholarship. The Reformation shattered that unity, and the consequences are still with us today.

All Things for Good by Thomas Watson provides the biblical answer to the contemporary question: Why do bad things happen to good people? Thomas Watson, the 17th-century minister of St. Stephen's Walbrook, believed he faced two great difficulties in his pastoral ministry. The first was making the unbeliever sad in the recognition of his need of God's grace. The second was making the believer joyful in response to God's grace.

Jonathan Edwards was a Protestant theologian and a leading revivalist preacher during the Great Awakening. Edwards wrote Freedom of the Will in the 18th century while working as a missionary to a tribe of Housatonic Native Americans in Massachusetts. He carefully drew out the differences of thought between the Calvinist and Arminian theologies and sided with the Calvinist views on humanity's will. Edwards sought to understand God's foreknowledge and how it related to free will and the ability to choose between good and evil.

Why is God restoring apostles to his church? Because restoration of the apostolic ministry is necessary for the church to complete its mission on earth. We are now experiencing the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit the world has ever known, and we should expect to see multitudes swept into the kingdom as a result. In this book, John Eckhardt reveals how the apostolic dimension affects the preaching, teaching, worship, prayer, and giving of the local church.

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ is a polemical work designed to show, among other things, that the doctrine of universal redemption is unscriptural and destructive to the Gospel. Those who see no need for doctrinal exactness and have no time for theological debates that show divisions between evangelicals may well regret its reappearance. Some may find the very sound of Owen's thesis so shocking that they will refuse to consider his book at all.

After many years of working to reform the Church of England, Richard Baxter faced an unexpected, serious illness, during which he carried out an intense theological exploration of the afterlife and heaven. The humble approach in his writings reflects his life as a Nonconformist leader in the church. His ponderings on heaven, our ability to understand it, and the nature of it will help you prepare for the unknown and encourage a deeper devotion to God.

The Divine Embrace is an invitation to a more intimate relationship with Christ. Using the movements of the "Emperor Waltz" as a metaphor for the Christian life, Ken Gire invites listeners to enter into the joy and the freedom of the dance to be held in the Lord's arms, to feel his presence and touch in their lives, to be embraced by the one whose love for them knows no end. Gire urges Christians to pay close attention to God's gifts and callings and not to take them for granted.

In 2017 is het precies 500 jaar geleden dat Luther zijn 95 stellingen publiceerde. Het vormde het begin van een revolutie in het religieus denken in Duitsland en de rest van Europa: de Reformatie. Uit deze 16e-eeuwse beweging, die brak met de door de paus geleide kerk van Rome, zijn de protestantse kerken ontstaan. De kerkscheuring liet ook onuitwisbare sporen na op maatschappelijk, politiek en cultureel terrein.

¿Es cierto que los países protestantes son más avanzados que los católicos?¿En qué consiste el Protestantismo?¿Por qué lideró la lucha contra la esclavitud, la segregación o el derecho al voto de las mujeres? El Protestantismo es el movimiento cristiano que más crece, se desarrolla y cambia dentro del panorama religioso del mundo. América Latina, África, Asia y Europa del Este han sufrido una verdadera mutación religiosa.
