Radiant Glory


Book Description

Radiant Glory: The Life of Martha Wing Robinson by Gordon P. Gardiner is the only existent biography of Martha Wing Robinson (1874-1936), a relatively unknown woman from the Mid-West who was healed of several severe maladies under the ministry of John Alexander Dowie, and was then led by God into the Pentecostal outpouring in 1906. Gordon P. Gardiner spent over 20 years writing this detailed account of Martha Wing Robinson’s life, drawing from personal remembrances as a boy and young man in Illinois, as well as numerous interviews with Martha Wing Robinson’s closest associates, sheaves of correspondence, and notes and dictations of her talks. It pays special attention given to her writings and talks after her tremendous experience in 1907, right up to her death in 1936.







Spirituality of Saint Paul, The


Book Description

Recognizing that we can’t actually imitate Christ, St. Paul calls us to use him as a model and imitate him in his conformity to the paschal mystery.




Lord for the Body


Book Description

In the early 1920s, English-Canadians were captivated by the urban campaigns of faith healing evangelists. Crowds squeezed into local arenas to witness the afflicted, "slain in the spirit," casting away braces and crutches. Professional faith healers, although denounced by critics as promoting mass hypnotism, gained notoriety and followers in their call for people to choose "the Lord for the Body."




Notes on the Book of Revelation


Book Description

Have you ever experienced competing in a game when it seemed like your opponent was so fierce, so challenging, so strong that you thought that you were going to lose? Or have you ever felt the strength of your opponent that you felt like you were a grasshopper in the eyes of giants? Well, this is what the book of revelation is all about. It's a book that inspires us as believers to be faith giants and to view our spiritual enemies as grasshoppers in our eyes; with that faith we can conquer and defeat anything that the enemy throws at us. The purpose of this prophetic book is to give instructions, commendations, as well as warnings of discipline to the seven Churches of Asia Minor. Even though it was written for them, it will do us well if we truly glean from its spiritual treasures. It is a book of eschatology, a divine plan given by God about the end-times that warns unbelievers about God's wrath and judgment. Not only does it warn the unsaved about God's oncoming judgment, but it also gives joy to the faithful, who will be caught up during the Rapture and who will not have to experience or go through the seven-year tribulation period that will take place on earth after the church gets Raptured up to meet Christ in the air. It is also a book that encourages believers to stay faithful to Christ until the end of time. Why? Because we win! It is a book that prepares and reminds those who accept Christ during the tribulation period that despite the Antichrist's demonic attacks, we will triumph with Christ in the end. Even though this book is full of symbolism and various interpretations, God's divine plan will be revealed by way of the Holy Spirit. This is what the word revelation means. It means to uncover or to unveil. Therefore, if there is ever a time that you thought that you were going to lose this Christian battle, be of good cheer. We win! Again, I say, as you face the trials and tribulations of the devil, be of good courage. You are on the right team!




The Resurrection of Jesus Christ


Book Description

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the best-attested facts of history. But believing in the resurrection is one thing. Knowing what it means is another. Although much has been written about the apologetics of the resurrection, little has been written about its theological meaning. This book reveals the hidden depths of the theological significance and ongoing relevance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ for our being, our salvation, Christian life, ethics, and our future hope.




Transformation in Christ


Book Description

Although Paul used language similar to the religions and cultures of his time, he had a unique understanding of the “mystery” of God. The once-hidden plan of God was revealed and fulfilled in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Saul of Tarsus experienced a fundamental change when he encountered the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus. This vision gave him new direction and purpose and profoundly changed his understanding of God’s plan for humanity. Paul often uses the phrase “in Christ” or its variations to describe this plan. Being in Christ results in transformation into Christ’s likeness of holiness and love through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Those in Christ form a new community that crosses ethnic barriers, is bound together in fellowship with the Triune God, and fulfills its purpose of holiness before him. Paul’s answer to the struggles people face is simple: when one is united with Christ by dying to the old self and committing to his supremacy, one will find victory over any force opposed to us in this world. This book explores one of the most profound claims in the New Testament that demands a response of its readers.

The Epistle to the Hebrews and Christian Theology


Book Description

The second annual St. Andrews Conference on Scripture and Theology brought leading biblical scholars and systematic theologians together in conversation, seeking to bridge the growing gap between these disciplines. Reflecting the convergence of the Old Testament s cultic theology, Hellenistic ideas, and early Christian thinking, the epistle to the Hebrews provides a perfect foundation for this fruitful dialogue. / The contributors examine a number of key theological themes in the letter to the Hebrews: the person and nature of the Son, his high-priestly work, cosmology, the epistle s theology of Scripture, supersessionism, the call to faith, and more. Unlike many modern treatments, this substantial volume considers Hebrews in both its ancient context and against our modern backdrop. / Edward Adams, Loveday Alexander, Harold W.
