In God the Father Almighty Erickson develops a sturdy exposition of the doctrine of God. He interacts with criticism brought against the traditional view of God and offers a fresh analysis of the attributes of God in light of Scripture and the contemporary scene. God the Father Almighty is a companion volume to Erickson's other theological monographs (God in Three Persons and The Word Became Flesh).

The most discussed and most significant issue on the religious scene today is whether it is possible, or even desirable, to believe in God. Mr. Kaufman's valuable study does not offer a doctrine of God, but instead explores why God is a problem for many moderns, the dimensions of that problem, and the inner logic of the notion of God as it has developed in Western culture. His object is to determine the function or significance of talk about God: how the concept of God is generated in human experience; the special problems in turn generated by this concept (for example, the intelligibility of the idea of transcendence, the problem of theodicy) and how they are met; and under what circumstances the idea of God is credible or important or even indispensable. He does not try to prove God's existence or nonexistence, but elucidates what the concept of God means and the important human needs it fulfills. Four of the eleven essays have been previously published, at least in part; seven are completely new.

Against the backdrop of feminist critique, Karin Spiecker Stetina gives us a thorough study of John Calvin's ideas on the fatherhood of God. After looking briefly at Calvin's own experience of fatherhood, the author looks in depth at his epistemology and then his imagery for God as Father against the background of the biblical and historical doctrine. This intriguing study allows us, through the lens of the reformer's theology, to look again at what we mean by God as Father and believers as sons and daughters of the living God.

The Fatherhood of Almighty God will dispel many misconceptions about the Lord's nature. God's compassion and mercy is evident throughout the text. Almighty God is a benevolent Father to all mankind. This Fatherhood nature can be experienced by anyone who enters into an intimate relationship with Him. Author Alfred Prescott believes there are widespread misinformation and misconceptions in respect to spiritual matters, and the nature of Almighty God. The Creator has been portrayed as unapproachable, unknown and terrible. Because of this misunderstanding, some turn their backs and live without God in their lives. This is a mistake. My own personal experience with Almighty God proved to be the backdrop for the book. Childhood experiences proved to be invaluable and are included. Excerpt from The Fatherhood: But there is a God of heaven who created us. He never changes. He is not affected by mood swings, nor is He affected by any external circumstance. He is not a 'deadbeat' dad who shrivels at the awesome responsibilities of fatherhood.He does not run for the hills because most of us are spoiled, unbalanced, self-centered brats who throw tantrums whenever we cannot get the world to revolve around us. As a true Father, Almighty God patiently awaits our positive response to His invitation to join Him in eternal bliss. Our God is the only entity in the entire universe that we can blindly place our undivided trust in.

Is there anything in the New Testament about the need for priests in the Church? Many Protestants would argue no. And if you point out that there is a priesthood in the Old Testament, they are likely to say it was a feature of the Old Covenant that was undone by Christ. How should a Catholic respond? In Jesus and the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood, biblical scholar John Bergsma convinces readers that Jesus did, in fact, intend for a ministerial priesthood to be a key feature of the New Covenant. Bergsma shows how the priesthood is a major thread holding together the biblical story line—beginning with Adam’s loss of the gift of priesthood in the Fall and the long process of restoring his descendants to a priestly status over the centuries, culminating with Christ. With chapter summaries and discussion questions included, Jesus and the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood can readily be adapted into a four-part study for personal or small group use.
