Showing titles in Christology

In his insightful follow-up to the best-selling book, The Power of God's Names, Dr. Tony Evans introduces you to Jesus in ways you may have never seen Him before. Jesus is anticipated from the very beginning of the Bible and is mentioned many times up until He finally arrives on the scene in Bethlehem - yet never in the Old Testament is He called Jesus. Rather, He has many names that reflect all the different aspects of His character. And there are even more names in the New Testament to explore as well! 

In The Preeminent Christ, Paul Washer declares the unmatched significance of the good news of Jesus Christ. Compelled by a desire for men to know God’s love, Washer draws from the church’s greatest theologians to herald Christ’s centrality in revelation, salvation, sanctification, study, proclamation, and glory. The Preeminent Christ will stimulate listeners to forsake their tendency to view worldly “needs” as central by zealously seeking this Christ in the gospel.

Duane Elmer asked people around the world how they felt about Western missionaries. The response? "Missionaries could be more effective if they did not think they were better than us". The last thing we want to do in cross-cultural ministry is to offend people in other cultures. Unfortunately, all too often and even though we don't mean it, our actions communicate superiority, paternalism, imperialism, and arrogance.  

In Jesus on Trial, New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh applies his lifetime of legal experience to a unique new undertaking: making a case for the gospels as hard evidence of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and former professor of law, approaches the canonical gospels with the same level of scrutiny he would apply to any legal document and asks all the necessary questions about the story of Jesus....

Diese Frage stellt der Apostel Paulus in seinem Brief an die Gemeinde in Korinth. Ihm geht es nicht um äußere Anpassung, sondern um eine tiefgreifende Erneuerung unseres Wesens – eine Veränderung, die von innen heraus geschieht. In einer Welt, die von Selbstinszenierung, Karrierestreben und Anerkennungssuche geprägt ist, lädt das Evangelium zu echter Ruhe in einer »gesegneten Selbstvergessenheit« ein. In diesem kompakten Buch zeigt Bestsellerautor Timothy Keller, wie die Gute Nachricht von Christus uns von der ständigen Ich-Zentrierung befreit.

What does it mean to pursue an intimate relationship with God? Dr. Randy Clark examines how Jesus and the Scriptures—focusing on the book of John—demonstrate the vital relationship between intimacy, obedience, and the miraculous as a blueprint for all believers. Combining sound biblical...

From award-winning authors and Yale Divinity School colleagues Christian Wiman and Miroslav Volf—two world-renowned scholars exchange letters on the problems of faith today and the presence of divine love that persists through it all. Whether you’re seeking something to believe in or no...

Jesús de Nazaret. En busca de la verdad es un apasionante recorrido por la vida y obra del personaje más influyente de todos los tiempos. Desde la filología, la arqueología y la historia, pero sin dejar de lado la exégesis, la antropología o el misticismo, Antonio Puente Mayor parte de la pregunta de Poncio Pilato «¿Quid es veritas?», para tratar de desentrañar la infancia de Jesús, sus años perdidos, la relación con sus seguidores o los acontecimientos que precipitaron su muerte.

La rencontre avec Jésus nous permet de changer l'image que nous avons de nous-mêmes. La réussite de notre vie dépend, en effet, de cette image. J'essaie de voir comment nous pouvons résoudre nos problèmes psychiques grâce à la rencontre avec Jésus.

Voir en Jésus un coach de vie ou un apôtre du développement personnel peut surprendre. Ses enseignements ? Dépassement de soi, humilité, bienveillance… Les précieux préceptes du Messie n'ont pas pris une ride et sont applicables au quotidien. Jésus nous pousse dans nos retranchements, nous invite à nous remettre en question pour sortir de notre zone de confort et suscite l'introspection.

Noted theologian O. Palmer Robertson’s three-volume The Christ of the Consummation explores progressive revelation across the redemptive history of the New Testament. The second volume, The Testimony of Acts and Paul, focuses on the ongoing redemptive realities that stretch beyond "all that Jesus began to do and teach" (Acts 1:1), as witnessed through the testimony of Acts, conjoined with the writings of Paul and the other New Testament authors.

The Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith. What can we say about the divine nature, and what does it mean to say that God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit, three persons who are one in being? In this book, bestselling author Thomas Joseph White, OP, examines the development of early Christian reflection on the Trinity, arguing that essential contributions of Patristic theology are preserved and expanded in the thought of Thomas Aquinas.

This little book presents a host of biblical proofs that concisely and winsomely demonstrate the deity of Christ. Curt D. Daniel surveys such an avalanche of evidence that any honest listener will find it difficult to deny the sheer weight of the Bible’s testimony that Jesus is God. Christians will see the richness of this wonderful truth in ways they may not have imagined, and, by God’s grace, such knowledge can be powerfully persuasive, convincing skeptics to believe.

Penal substitutionary atonement—the belief that Jesus’s death on the cross satisfied God’s wrath against sin—is central to the Christian faith, but frequently debated. Is it just to punish an innocent person in place of the guilty? How can the temporary death of one substitute for the eternal death of many? Why doesn’t the cross grant Christians unlimited permission to sin? In this famous essay, late theologian J. I. Packer analyzes Scripture and the works of early Reformers to defend the truth of Christ’s substitutionary suffering and death, the heart of the Christian gospel.

We tend to think of Advent as the season of anticipation before Christmas—and while it is that, it's also much more. Throughout its history, the church has observed Advent as a preparation not only for the first coming of Christ in his incarnation but also for his second coming at the last day. It's also about a third coming: the coming of Christ to meet us in our present moment, to make us holy by his Word and Sacrament. Priest and writer Tish Harrison Warren explores all three of these "comings" of Christ and invites us into a deeper experience of the first season of the Christian year.

Separating fact from fiction, Professor Le Donne places Jesus within the context of first-century Judaism, and explores the debate about his status as 'Son of God' among the early Christians. He then follows his legacy through medieval Europe, and compares the various cultural Jesuses in enlightenment and post-enlightenment thought.

Reading Reading the Old Testament can seem like exploring an old, mysterious mansion, packed with of all sorts of strange rooms. What does this odd and ancient world have to do with us, who are modern followers of Jesus? As it turns out, everything! Every chapter in the Old Testament, in a variety of ways, tells the story that culminates in Jesus the Messiah. What Christians today call the Old Testament is what Jesus and the earliest believers simply called the Scriptures.

From the very beginning, the Lord's Supper has stood at the heart of Christian worship. If Jesus lives in us, and the Holy Spirit is poured out on us, why do we need to eat bread and drink grape juice or wine? Does it really matter? It does matter—and it's life-changing, says leading Pentecostal theologian Jonathan Black. With warmth and depth, he explores not only how the table is still a powerful place of transformation and encounter with Jesus, but also how we can experience Christ's promise of presence, glory, healing, forgiveness, victory, and intimacy.
