Defending Inerrancy


Book Description

According to the authors, the doctrine of inerrancy has been standard, accepted teaching for more than 1,000 years. In 1978, the famous "Chicago Statement" on inerrancy was adopted by the Evangelical Theological Society, and for decades it has been the accepted conservative evangelical doctrine of the Scriptures. However, in recent years, some prominent evangelical authors have challenged this statement in their writings. Now eminent apologist and bestselling author Norman L. Geisler, who was one of the original drafters of the "Chicago Statement," and his coauthor, William C. Roach, present a defense of the traditional understanding of inerrancy for a new generation of Christians who are being assaulted with challenges to the nature of God, truth, and language. Pastors, students, and armchair theologians will appreciate this clear, reasoned response to the current crisis.

Book Description

This clear and readable introduction provides guidance on the history and theology of the book of Isaiah.




The Mind of the Spirit


Book Description

Leading Scholar Explores Paul's Teaching on the Mind This major work by a leading New Testament scholar explores an important but neglected area of Pauline theology, Paul's teaching about the mind. In discussing matters such as the corrupted mind, the mind of Christ, and the renewal of the mind, Paul adapts language from popular intellectual thought in his day, but he does so in a way distinctively focused on Christ and Christ's role in the believer's transformation. Keener enables readers to understand this thought world so they can interpret Paul's language for contemporary Christian life. The book helps overcome a false separation between following the Spirit and using human judgment and provides a new foundation for relating biblical studies and Christian counseling.




Jesus and the Land

John Wesley's Concept of Sin


Book Description

By the author of the highly-praised "John Wesley's Concept of Perfection." No one can fully appreciate God's plan of salvation without a solid understanding of mankind's sinful nature, John Wesley contended. Here is the key to understanding the divine response to original sin and the difference between sin "properly so-called" and "sins of ignorance" or mistakes. Here, also, is the foundation for such Wesleyan concepts as infant salvation, temptation without sin, and the diverse punishments for original sin vs. willful sin. This is a "must read" for all who would fully understand the depths to which God's grace goes to redeem the soul.
