Who Will Be Saved?: Defending the Biblical Understanding of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: House, Paul R. / Thornbury, Greg A., PUBLISHER: Crossway Books, Of the many doctrinal challenges facing the church today, the most critical may be opposition to the traditional, biblical view of God and the doctrine of salvation. For centuries Christians agreed that God is sovereign, that He does not change, that He is both kind and all-powerful. Yet in recent decades process theologians have regularly depicted God as a constantly evolving deity, and postmodernists have defined Him in diverse, even contradictory ways. A number of scholars--some with evangelical roots or affiliations--have even gone so far as to claim that salvation may come through other religions and not exclusively through a conscious personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Given these internal and external challenges, evangelical Christianity must reassert the inerrant, biblical definition of God and the doctrine of salvation, and do so in a way that is convincing in our postmodern setting. That is the goal of Who Will Be Saved? Some of the most significant figures in evangelical theology--including Carl F.H. Henry, D. A. Carson, and R. Albert Mohler--explore the traditional view of salvation through a contemporary lens, beginning with the doctrine of God as the author of salvation. They then move on to the pressing matters confronting Christians today--the exclusivity of Christianity, the work of the church, our evangelism strategies--that are driven by one's conclusions about the doctrine of God. The biblical response to inclusivist perspectives presented here will empower Christians to faithfully and convincingly continue declaring the gospel message in these postmodern times.

She Who Restores the Roman Empire: The Biblical Prophecy of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Criswell, David, PUBLISHER: Writers Club Press, With the popularity of the Left Behind series studies in prophetic interpretations have increased with some seminaries even offering degrees in prophetic studies. She Who Restores the Roman Empire is a careful historical and exegetical study of one such prophecy: the Whore of Babylon, whose name has been uttered throughout history and is said to be "the lover" of the anti-Christ to come. Of "The Biblical prophecy of the Whore of Babylon" St. Augustine said that the Church of Rome would one day apostatize while St. Jerome hinted that the day of apostasy may have already begun, but today even many Protestants reject this notion arguing instead that a new Babylonian kingdom will arise in Iraq. "She Who Restores the Roman Empire" is a thorough survey of this controversial prophecy. It examines the prophetic interpretations throughout history and shows their impact upon history. It shows how the prophecy itself helped shaped the Reformation and counter-Reformation. It also discusses the newer interpretations which predict a revival of ancient Babylon or a global New Age religion. Dr. Criswell's conclusion is based on thorough exegesis and on historical precedent. He contends that it is the Harlot who will initiate the restoration of the Roman Empire and the anti-Christ will initially be his puppet before turning on her and destroying her great city. Napoleon was an archetype of the coming anti-Christ who will promise a new world but deliver destruction.

The Mobile Wave: How Mobile Intelligence Will Change

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Saylor, Michael, PUBLISHER: Vanguard Press, In "The Fifth Wave," Michael Saylor argues that mobile intelligence is the fifth great computer wave and that the implications of the mobile devices we carry are just beginning to evolve. But mobile intelligence will be far more transformational than any other of the four computing waves that preceded it--mainframe, mini, PC, and PC with Internet--and it will create tremendous disruption for those who fail to grasp its significance and tremendous opportunities for those who do. Soon, it will be cheaper to learn to read with a tablet than paper, which means every literate person on the planet will have a mobile device from a younger age and will carry it with them everywhere their entire lives. Over five billion people will always be on the network. Mobile will turn retail into theater, make a Harvard-level education accessible to everyone, and bring the global information flow to the most backward village in Africa, leaving us amid so much information we'll need a new Google to search our surroundings. "The Fifth Wave" will distill a variety of changes in the global marketplace that we can all see and feel into a coherent framework for understanding the future that is about to unfold.

The Name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast and 666 Identification

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Franklin, Frederick E., PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, This book is an addition to our book, "The Name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast." In that book, we provided you with the name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast and how the person that we named fits the description given to us in the Holy Bible. We also said in that book that God had told us who the (Anti-Christ) Beast was at least twenty times. That book was produced from Chapter 1 of our second book. The title of our second book is "What God Is Now Telling His Prophets About The End Times." As of December, , we know of only two others that God has revealed who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is. We believe that one of those who told us that God had shown him who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is was an angel. For very many years, theologians and so-called prophecy teachers have diligently tried to figure out who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is. For those of you who do not understand, the so-called Anti-Christ is who the Holy Bible refers to as a man that will, during a period in the near future, reign over the entire earth. This time is the (3) three and one half year period of the Great Tribulation. He will be worshipped as God, but he will be Satan that has possessed an evil man that desired to be worshipped as God. All will worship this devil except God's people that will endure until the end, those that will be in the rapture.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Yeo, Khiok-Khng, PUBLISHER: Trinity Press International, K.K.

The Greek & Latin Doctors

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wand, J. W., PUBLISHER: Wyndham Hall Press, Today, when not only the Anglican Communion specifically but the Church Catholic generally seem in such desperate need of historical moorings for meaningful and productive theological discussions, it seems nothing less than fitting that this classic treatise on the Doctors of the church be brought back into general circulation in order that all those who truly wish to be accurately informed about the origins of the Church's great thoughts might have that opportunity. Today's tragedy in too many theological discussions is two-fold -- the consistent absence of a deep appreciation and understanding of the historical roots of our faith, and the general presumption that the present experience of the Church should automatically be valued more highly than the past experience of the Church. If this little classic does nothing more than contribute to the re-education of the Church Today about the origin and value of the Church Yesterday, then the effort will have been well worthwhile.

Joseph's Bones: Understanding the Struggle Between God and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Segal, Jerome M., PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, A bold and radical reinterpretation of the Old Testament. "Brilliant...Nothing quite like it has appeared in years." (Jack Miles, author of "God: A Biography ") Imagine if someone who had never heard of Judaism or Christianity read the Old Testament. How could the relationship between God and humanity possibly be understood? In "Joseph's Bones," Segal approaches the Bible from this fresh perspective-one framed by the story of the Israelites' fidelity to Joseph-and finds something unexpected: an account of the human condition that reads like an existential novel about the struggle of mankind against the unpredictable and often unwarranted wrath of God. This is a rarity in Biblical interpretation- brilliant and rigorously argued, "a work of stunning originality."
