Sergei Bulgakov, born in Russia in 1871, was one of the principal Eastern theologians of the twentieth century. At the age of thirty he was appointed professor of political economy at the University of Kiev. After a crisis of faith, Bulgakov declared himself an unbeliever in 1888, but in a slow process he moved from Marxism to Idealism, and then from Idealism to a rediscovered Orthodoxy. By the time of the two Revolutions of 1917, Bulgakov was one of the best known Orthodox theologians in Russia. In 1918 he was ordained priest, and fled Moscow in danger of imminent arrest. Arriving in Paris in 1925 he was to live and work there until his death in 1944, his life inextricably bound up with the Russian theological institute, Saint-Serge, of which he was a founder member and subsequent professor, rector and dean. In this timely work, Aidan Nichols introduces the life and work of Bulgakov and provides a systematic presentation of his dogmatic theology. 'The present book has appeared at exactly the right moment. Alike in Russia and in the West, we are witnessing a veritable "Bulgakov renaissance" . . . this is the first comprehensive and systematic survey of his theology in English.' Bishop Kallistos of Diokleia 'As research on Bulgakov by Catholics and Protestants as well as Orthodox grows in volume, it is a great help to have this authoritative, comprehensive guide. I hope it will encourage further study and assimilation of one of the most searching and moving as well as one of the most complex of modern theological minds.' Dr Rowan Williams, Archibshop of Canterbury Aidan Nichols, OP, is an English Dominican of Blackfriars, Cambridge. He has written thirty books, chiefly on aspects of Catholic theology and theological history, but also on Eastern Orthodoxy and Anglicanism.

If You Love God's Word You Will Love This New Testament! The Disciples' Literal New Testament sets you free from our artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure, replacing it with paragraphing that reflects the flow of thought in the original Greek writings. Paragraph headings make that flow of thought explicit to you, speeding your understanding of the NT books. This translation retains the writing style of the apostles themselves, rather than transforming their Greek ways of writing into an elegant or contemporary English writing style, as has been beautifully done so many times. It is the same translation as the author's New Testament TransLine, first published by Zondervan in 2002. Now you can read the New Testament as the original writers intended it, and see it with a clarity formerly available only to those who could carefully study their Greek New Testament. You can even see the difference in writing style between Matthew, Mark and Luke! Used along with your standard Bible version, you will profit from both methods of translation. *Easily grasp the relationship of the whole and the parts of each book with the big-picture overview outlines that use the words of the original author. *Gain quick insight into the flow of thought from descriptive paragraph headings that summarize the main point of each paragraph in its context. *You can visually follow the apostles' thinking because the 'Intelligent Paragraphing' visually displays their main and subordinate thoughts. *The hindrance to your understanding caused by our artificial chapter and verse structure is eliminated by paragraphing based on the Greek writings. *You will more fully appreciate the minds and thinking patterns and intent of the original writers because the translation corresponds more closely to their words and their grammar and their sentence structure. *Deepen and expand your understanding of the New Testament by meditating on the notes containing alternative renderings, explanations of what is being said, and different views of the meaning.

Pornography is a multibillion dollar a year industry that enslaves millions of men and women, including many Christians, in a hideous addiction to sex, lust and immorality. Once trapped, many of these victims long desperately for a-way out but find they cannot do it on their own. As its title suggests, eXXXit points to the way of escape for those bound in pornography's shackles.John Hammer knows from his own experience the seductive and destructive power of pornography. More importantly, he knows by experience the freedom that comes in Christ, not just freedom from pornography but freedom to live all of life the way God intended. eXXXit is his "clarion call to live the abundant life... that Christ has purchased... on the cross."While plainly revealing the evils and dangers of pornography, the book's principal theme is not on pornography itself as much as it is the power to break free permanently from its grip that is available only by "[putting] on the Lord Jesus Christ" and learning to live and walk in Him every day.Pornography is insidious and its grip is extremely strong, but eXXXit is available in Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Let John Hammer show you the way.

The letter to the Hebrews was written in about 68AD to Jewish Christians who needed to overcome the Gnostic doctrine of men. In 2 years the mystery of the Gospel would be understood, the Hidden manna fed! The revelation that Christ has all authority in heaven and on earth would be impossible for humanity to deny. The day of the Lord or the thousand-years of the Kingdom of Heaven would be there Heb. 10:25, and Christ would be identified to all humanity as the Lord of the Sabbath. It would be time for Christians to have their Sabbath rest. This thousand-year age is broken up into two ages the first being 300 years and the later 700 years beginning anew in 2020 AD Eph. 2:6, 7. So for six thousand years, the world was being prepared for its rest in the one thousand year Sabbath or the Kingdom of Heaven.
