Housewife Theologian
Women who want God to be more than superficially in their lives can rise above the world's expectations by becoming housewife theologians finding true meaning and true worship everyday. Great for journaling and for group discussion.
Elijah: a Man Just Like Us
Learn from Elijah, a man just like us, but used by God to reveal who God is and to confront idolatry.
The Jesus Gospel
Recently, much has been written on Atonement theory that would suggest that the Christian message could be re-interpreted for post-modern times. While the desire to communicate with the new generation is well intended, we must not stray from the gospel writers. The Jesus Gospel reminds its readers of the original intent of God's Word and directs our attention back to the original passages dealing with this important and timeless issue.
Joseph
Although no tribe is named after him, and the Messiah is not descended from him, Joseph nonetheless occupies a crucial role in the Bible's drama of redemption. Ultimately Joseph's story is about God's intention to save, not just Joseph's family, but bringing through Judah a saviour for the world.
Ezekiel
Ezekiel ben Buzi would never forget his 30th birthday. He had been trained as a priest and brought up to believe that at this age his life's work would begin. For years he had anticipated this moment when he would be ordained and eligible to serve in the temple. But instead of being in Jerusalem, he was a captive in Babylon. Instead of being a priest, he was called by God to be a prophet. Instead of serving in the temple, he was surrounded by a plethora of pagan gods. But on his 30th birthday, he received a vision from God... This timely vision confronted the Jews with their sinfulness and the necessity of divine judgement. It also reminded them of God's sovereignty and the promise of future restoration. Our lives, like Ezekiel's, may have turned out differently from how we had expected they would. Can we keep on serving God in turbulent times, trusting God's sovereignty and striving for holiness with the Holy Spirit's help and power?
A Window on Tomorrow
In 1990 Mikhail Gorbachev told a meeting of United States businessmen "We need road maps for the future" Easy to say - tough to draw up, was the response. But what can Christians contribute? "Do we just say our people die well?""Thankfully we can go much further and assert confidently that Jesus is coming, in person, to establish a kingdom which will never end." Liam Goligher sets out to show the difference that belief makes to the way we live.
The Fellowship of the King
Imagine belonging to a group of people who accept you for who you are, who share your values and sense of purpose. The Fellowship of the King explores the attractive and compelling vision of fellowship and community presented in Scripture, in an age when most of us, paradoxically, feel alone in the crowd, our shoulders rubbing with strangers. With references to film, the novel and contemporary music, Liam Goligher analyses the contemporary scene, and shows how koinonia - meeting, encouraging and growing together presents community, purpose, and ultimately fellowship with the King.
The Rise and Fall of the Complementarian Doctrine of the Trinity
Since the late 1970s complementarian theologians have been arguing that the divine three persons in the Trinity are ordered hierarchically, and that this is the ground for the hierarchical ordering of the sexes. Suddenly and unexpectedly in June 2016 a number of complementarian theologians of confessional Reformed convictions came out and said that to so construe the Trinity is “heresy”; it is a denial of what the creeds and confessions of the church rule is the teaching of Scripture. A civil war among complementarians followed and in a very short time those arguing for hierarchical ordering in the Trinity capitulated. This book tells the story.
Not Under Bondage
This book, written by a survivor of domestic abuse, explains the dilemmas of abuse victims, carefully examines the Scripture and scholarly research, and shows how the Bible sets victims of abuse free from bondage and guilt. Key concepts are: The Bible distinguishes between "treacherous divorce" and "disciplinary divorce", prohibiting the former and permitting the latter in serious cases of abuse, adultery or desertion. If the offending partner was sexually immoral, or abused, deserted, or unjustly dismissed the other, and has been judged to be "as an unbeliever," the Bible allows the non-offending, mistreated partner to remarry.
A Cry for Justice
n many Christian circles this may be a taboo subject-spoken of in hushed tones or behind closed doors. But it is a very real problem that must be brought into the light of Scripture. Abuse in the church takes different forms, but it is alive and active even in "nice" families in our churches. Typically, the abuser is male, usually a husband--and his character is that of a manipulating deceiver! Countless women and children even many faithful pastors--have been abused by these deceivers. Have you, or someone you know, been a victim? Has an abuser: Threatened physical violence if he does not get away? Intimidated you with abusive language? Denied you affection? Denied you medical attention? Ma...
