Samuelson and Weiss present a critical edition and English translation of Solomon Ben Labi's Hebrew translation of the lost, original Arabic text of Abraham Ibn Daud's The Exalted Faith. Ibn Daud was the first Jewish philosopher to use Aristotelian language and thought to explain the principal commitments of Jewish religious faith. His monumental effort, written in 1160, has been preserved in this, his sole work of philosophy.

Though in all things God's Word is the final authority, our Christian tradition, as inherited from centuries of careful reflection and endeavoring to be true to the teaching of Scripture, can greatly enlighten us. Nowhere is this blend of respectful listening to the wisdom of the past and faithfulness to the Bible more necessary than in our contemporary reformulations of the doctrine of God's person. Bruce Ware believes that while tradition's emphasis on God's metaphysical perfection and His supremacy over the world is correct, we must refine our understanding of the way in which He relates to us. While retaining the deepest concerns of the historic tradition, Ware offers a more rational view of God's dealings with His children–a view that is reflected in Scripture's own testimony of Him. Ware then applies this concept of real divine exaltation and real divine-human relationship to the areas of our prayer life, confidence in God and His guidance of us.

A study of the exaltation of Jesus Christ as Lord based primarily on Luke's NT writings. When Jesus ascended after the resurrection, God the Father exalted Him as Lord at His right hand. "Exalted Lord" focuses on the real-life implications of Jesus' exaltation especially in relation to His ultimate defeat of sin, unbelief, and death. "Exalted Lord" can be used in groups or for individual study.From the Preface: "Every true Christian believes that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again. As important as these events are, they do not tell the whole story of Jesus. Following the resurrection, Jesus appeared on earth for forty days. On day forty, He ascended into heaven to be seated at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus " enthronement at the Father "s right hand marked the beginning of His exaltation as Lord of lords. His exaltation will culminate in His literal, bodily return to the earth, at which time He will utterly rout all of His enemies, making them His footstool.Presently, as our High Priest, Jesus is interceding for everyone who has believed on Him. As the exalted Lord of lords, Jesus also serves as a mighty general, orchestrating events on the battlefield that will lead someday to the utter defeat of all His enemies. Accordingly, even in the darkest of circumstances, we can be sure that the mighty Lord Jesus remains in control. He will win in the end. In the meantime, Jesus provides grace, power, meaning, and a sense of His presence so we might share in His victories."

Inspirations of the Heart Exalted faith is about the will of God coming alive in our lives, now mind you, what you see in this text is only a mere portion of what could have been said. In other words, This work could have been 20 chapters, with several more spiritual redirections, with many more spiritual inputs of directives and spiritual points to consider. The thing about me is that I pay attention to the Holy Spirit speaking to me when I write what happens then is that when the Spirit reveals to me to stop and move on, I do not go on and put more of me into what is being said, that would be disobedience. The power of the presence of God is everywhere all of the time, but in a recent book I wrote, I considered the idea of what I call the ethics of supply and demand, what do I mean? When it comes down to the presence of God within our lives, if our desire is all about us, we cut God out of the picture and he cannot supply to us the desires of our heart even though he wants to.

This study presents a thematic investigation of Ibn Daud's philosophical treatise ha-Emunah ha-Ramah [The Exalted Faith]. It examines the question whether current interpretation is correct in assuming that the thesis is primarily concerned with working out a synthesis between philosophy and religion, or whether, as Ibn Daud indicates at te beginning of the book, it is basically concerned with the problem of free will. In order to answer this question the author examines the structure of Ibn Daud's philosophical work by analysing its topics and their interrelation, and by paying attention to Ibn Daud's use of Biblical verses. Furthermore the study focuses on the Jewish and Islamic sources on which Ibn Daud drew, as well as the way in which he incorporated the philosophy of the Islamic Aristotelians al-Farabi and Ibn Sina into his own thought.

"A devastating attack upon the dominance of atheism in science today." Giovanni Fazio, Senior Physicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics The debate over the ultimate source of truth in our world often pits science against faith. In fact, some high-profile scientists today would have us abandon God entirely as a source of truth about the universe. In this book, two professional astronomers push back against this notion, arguing that the science of today is not in a position to pronounce on the existence of God—rather, our notion of truth must include both the physical and spiritual domains. Incorporating excerpts from a letter written in 1615 by famed astronomer Galileo Galilei, the authors explore the relationship between science and faith, critiquing atheistic and secular understandings of science while reminding believers that science is an important source of truth about the physical world that God created.

The author praises Gratian’s zeal for instruction in the Faith, and speaks lowly of his own merits. Taught of God Himself, the Emperor stands in no need of human instruction; yet this his devoutness prepares the way to victory. The task appointed to the author is difficult: in the accomplishment whereof he will be guided not so much by reason and argument as by authority, especially that of the Nicene Council.
