The Church of the Living God


Book Description

Here, Wallace Alston Jr. presents for us a newly revised and expanded version of his book,The Church. Alston summarizes the identity, nature, and ministry of the church from a Reformed perspective, and places this doctrine within its historical and contemporary context. A new introductory chapter on "The Church for Such a Time," an epilogue on "The Church That People Love," and updated Scripture passages from NRSV are a few of the new features of this new edition.




Introduction to Bible Doctrine


Book Description

From a non-denominational Biblicist perspective, Introduction to Bible Doctrine was written to meet the prerequisite requirements of the author's textbook on Dispensational Theology: A Textbook on Eschatology in the Twenty-First Century. It is the author's view that a partial mission of the New Testament Church is to be a pillar and support of the truth-defined as God's Word (1 Timothy 3:15). This book fulfills that mission, as a supporting pillar providing sound doctrine to the body of Christ-worldwide. This work would be appropriate for use in a 100 or 200 level college course for Introduction to Biblical Doctrine or Theology, or for any local New Testament church to use in their adult educational endeavors. Individual Christians and pastors should find this book helpful in summarizing scriptural truths in the support of their faith. The book is organized around the doctrine of God, Christ, The Holy Spirit, The Scriptures, Humanity, Angels, Salvation, The Church, Heaven and Hell (Good and Evil), and Eschatology.

True Christianity was the last theological work that Emanuel Swedenborg published, and it formed a systemic description of his teachings. Interwoven with discussions of established Christian doctrine are many of his own experiences in heaven, creating a powerful vision of his hopes for the future of the church.
