God's Glory in Salvation through Judgment


Book Description

In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God's glory, and God reveals himself as a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of Scripture under one central theme: God's glory in salvation through judgment. Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by showing that Israel was saved through God's judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites. God was glorified through both his judgment and mercy, accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament unfolds the ultimate display of God's glory in justice and mercy, as it was God's righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us salvation. God's glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the end of time, when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who have called on his name. Hamilton moves through the Bible book by book, showing that there is one theological center to the whole Bible. The volume's systematic method and scope make it a unique resource for pastors, professors, and students.

The Seven Judgments of God


Book Description

The God of the Bible is a God of Love. But He is also a God of judgment. If this were not true, there would be no difference between right and wrong, good and bad. He is also a God of sevens: seven days in a week, seven seals, seven vials, seven bowls, seven sevens in prophecy, and so on. Many Christians believe that there is only one judgment, but Scripture speaks of seven judgments and each of these involves a distinct group and occurs at a different time. This book explores each of those judgments, establishing as closely as possible a timeline for their occurrences, as well as a description of who is being judged and the criteria and consequences of that judgment. Scriptural references are provided throughout to support the author's description of each judgment.

The Evangelical Universalist


Book Description

Can an orthodox Christian, committed to the historic faith of the Church and the authority of the Bible, be a universalist? Is it possible to believe that salvation is found only by grace, through faith in Christ, and yet to maintain that in the end all people will be saved? Can one believe passionately in mission if one does not think that anyone will be lost forever? Could universalism be consistent with the teachings of the Bible? In The Evangelical Universalist the author argues that the answer is ‘yes!’ to all of these questions. Weaving together philosophical, theological, and biblical considerations, he seeks to show that being a committed universalist is consistent with the central teachings of the biblical texts and of historic Christian theology.

A Mouth Full of Fire


Book Description

In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Andrew Shead examines Jeremiah's commissioning, embodiment of the word of God, covenant preaching and "oracles of hope." He shows how a differentiation between the divine "word" and the prophet's "words" enables the word of God to function as an organizing center for the book's theology.
