The Company of the Preachers
This work by a veteran pastor and professor of homiletics looks at the history of preaching from its roots in the Old Testament prophets to its continuing development in the modern era.
Jews, Gentiles, and the Church
Scholarly and thorough, yet written with the layman in mind, this book offers a fresh perspective in pre-millennial eschatology and deep insight into the relations between Jews, Gentiles, and the church. Larsen's book represents a lifetime achievement in the study of church history and practical theology.
The Company of Hope
The Bible has over 1000 prophecies of the future, half of which have been fulfilled in Israel and her ancient neighbor, and in Jesus the Messiah. One in four verses in the New Testament addresses the wrap-up of time-space history. From the days of the early church, believers have wrestled with the meaning of these texts. While numerous books and monographs have dealt with some of these interpretations, we have lacked a single volume which purports to survey the whole of church history and the various schools of thought from an evangelical perspective. Writing narratively, Dr. Larsen seeks in these 36 chapters to focus on those key thinker who have shaped opinion and conviction on matters of ...
The Slain God
This book is a history of the relationship between the discipline of anthropology and the Christian faith. It explores how leading anthropologists have come to believe that ethnographic findings and evidence made Christianity no longer tenable.
Crisis of Doubt
The Victorian crisis of faith has dominated discussions of religion and the Victorians. Stories are frequently told of prominent Victorians such as George Eliot losing their faith. This crisis is presented as demonstrating the intellectual weakness of Christianity as it was assaulted by new lines of thought such as Darwinism and biblical criticism. This study serves as a corrective to that narrative. It focuses on freethinking and Secularist leaders who came to faith. As sceptics, they had imbibed all the latest ideas that seemed to undermine faith; nevertheless, they went on to experience a crisis of doubt, and then to defend in their writings and lectures the intellectual cogency of Christianity. The Victorian crisis of doubt was surprisingly large. Telling this story serves to restore its true proportion and to reveal the intellectual strength of faith in the nineteenth century.
In Search of Nella Larsen
Born to a Danish seamstress and a black West Indian cook in one of the Western Hemisphere's most infamous vice districts, Nella Larsen (1891-1964) lived her life in the shadows of America's racial divide. She wrote about that life, was briefly celebrated in her time, then was lost to later generations--only to be rediscovered and hailed by many as the best black novelist of her generation. In his search for Nella Larsen, the "mystery woman of the Harlem Renaissance," George Hutchinson exposes the truths and half-truths surrounding this central figure of modern literary studies, as well as the complex reality they mask and mirror. His book is a cultural biography of the color line as it was l...
Preaching and Teaching from the Old Testament
Viewed as antiquated and remote, the Old Testament is frequently neglected in the preaching and teaching ministry of the church. But contrary to the prevailing attitude, might the Old Testament contain relevant and meaningful application for today? Renowned author and scholar Walter Kaiser shows why the Old Testament deserves equal attention with the New Testament and offers a helpful guide on how preachers and teachers can give it the full attention it deserves. Growing out of his teaching material from the last decade, Preaching and Teaching from the Old Testament demonstrates Kaiser's celebrated straightforward exposition. Offering an apologetic for the Christian use of the Old Testament,...
