A revised and abridged edition of Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism: An Inductive Mediate Theologyof Salvation, in Which theologian/missiologist Olson gives the fruit of a 25-year theological pilgrimage. His inductive focus on Scripture results in a middle view of salvation truth, thus resolving polarized extremes. This edition is much more readable and accessible for most Christians. The exegetical methodology emphasizes context, word studies, and grammar of all relevant passages, with extensive support for eternal security and refutation of deterministic concepts of salvation. In the foreword, Dr. Tim LaHaye refers to the incredible distribution of the academic edition, which sold out in 3 years. A revised academic edition is forthcoming in 2006.
Veteran missionary and missiologist C. Gordon Olson has distilled his knowledge and experience to produce an introductory text to missions that is marked by its balance between theory and practice.
"Calvinists and Arminians are at opposite poles on the question as to how God applies the merits of Christ's saving death to sinners. Few recognize any mediate view between opposite views, with a mainstream of Evangelicals who are not fully committed to either system. Olson seeks a resolution of the conflict by an inductive rather deductive approach to Scripture."--Back cover.
This book presents a unique view of salvation, one which falls in the middle of Calvinism and Arminianism. It deals with the errors found in Calvinism and Arminianism, and resolves polarized views. It provides a theology of assurance and eternal security in Christ, and a simple solution to Hebrews 6. It approaches Scripture with an inductive, bottom-up approach, not deductive. There is given an exegesis of 1000 quoted Scripture passages. The theology of salvation given in this book is gracious and non-legalistic, and is evangelism and missions friendly. --from back of book.

We tend to view institutions cynically, but they are essential to human flourishing and thriving communities. Focusing on the non-profit sector, Gordon Smith unpacks the core of institutional intelligence, showing team leaders, directors, executives, board members, and employees how to work effectively within the institutional character of their organizations.
Dr. Loren A. Olson has frequently been asked two questions: How could you not know that you were gay until the age of forty? Wasn't your marriage just a sham to protect yourself at your wife's expense? In Finally Out, Dr. Olson answers these questions by telling the inspiring story of his evolving sexuality, into which he intelligently weaves psychological concepts and gay history. This book is a powerful exploration of human sexuality, particularly the sexuality of mature men who, like Dr. Olson, lived a large part of their lives as straight men--sometimes long after becoming aware of their same-sex attractions. Readers will come to understand: - That there is no universal model for coming ...
