Core Christianity


Book Description

What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Paul and the Law


Book Description

Brian S. Rosner seeks to build bridges between old and new perspectives on Paul with this biblical-theological account of the apostle's complex relationship with Jewish law. Rosner argues that Paul reevaluates the Law of Moses, including its repudiation as legal code, its replacement by other things, and its reappropriation as prophecy and wisdom.




The Anti-Christs Are Here


Book Description

Comments About the Book I find it difficult to believe one of my young lecturers who is not a pastor wrote this pice. No wonder his colleagues call him Father Francis. That is what research is all about. It sounds convincing, and I would wait to see how our numerous Men of God would react to the book that puts all of them at a defence. - Prof. Donald Ekong (2004) Vice Chancellor University of The Gambia Particularly on this tithe issue, my husband has hit the nail on the head - Mrs. Iguehi Igberaese This book is confrontational, but based on facts. How then would God judge this world? Does this mean that the multitude of worshipers in the church have no salvation? The author did not answer these questions. - Engr. Glory Momodu Voice of Nigeria How possible will it be to preach the true gospel without being seen as confrontational? - Evang. Robert Eikpe Church of Christ, Benin City. This book is set to free many people from the bondage of those who are after their stomach, but who are masquerading as "Men of God".
