Teachings of Jesus and Muhammad
A unique title that compares the teaching of Jesus from the Bible with those of Mohammed from the Koran. Each spread will focus on a certain topic and compare the two perspectives with direct quotes from the Bible and the Koran along with commentary from Mateen Elass, raised in a Muslim family, who converted to Christianity and is perfectly qualified to explain the difference between the faiths. Topic Samples: Is God the Father of Jesus? Are Human Beings Good or Evil by Nature? Can One Know God's Forgiveness Here and Now? What Is God's Vision of Marriage? How Are We to Treat Our Enemies? What Signs Point to the Imminent End of the World? What Is The Unforgivable Sin? How Should Believers Treat Those They Come In Contact With?
The Holy Spirit
"In this brief volume, Mateen Elass provides a lucid explanation of the identity and work of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit's relationship to the living and written Word, and the Spirit's role in the church and the world. This study will help open new windows of understanding about the Holy Spirit and illustrate how true spirituality is the work of the Holy Spirit. Ideal for individual or group study, this volume provides insights that will allow readers to discover the Holy Spirit's importance to our Christian experience."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Christ's Faith
The Christ's Faith coheres with orthodox Christology and Reformation soteriology, and needs to be affirmed to properly confirm the true humanity of the incarnate Son. Without addressing the interpretation of the Pauline phrase pistis christou, this study offers a theological rationale for an exegetical possibility and enriches a dogmatic account of the humanity of the Christ. The coherence of the Christ's faith is shown in two ways. First, the objection of Thomas Aquinas is refuted by demonstrating that faith is fitting for the incarnate Son. Second, a theological ontology is offered which affirms divine perfection and transcendence in qualitative fashion, undergirding a Chalcedonian and Reformed Christology. Thus, the humanity of the Christ may be construed as a fallen human nature assumed by the person of the Word and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. The dogmatic location of The Christ's Faith is sketched by suggesting its (potential) function within three influential theological systems: Thomas Aquinas, federal theology, and Karl Barth. Furthermore, the soteriological role of the doctrine is demonstrated by showing the theological necessity of faith for valid obedience before God.

Biblical Figures in the Islamic Faith
Vicchio believes that by understanding how much Muslim tradition overlaps with the biblical traditions of Judaism and Christianity, we might begin to expose a wedge of common ground on which understanding and respect might begin to be built. Vicchio begins with a brief introduction sketching some fundamentals of Muslim history and culture, and clearing away some common misconceptions. His main goal, however, is to give us a detailed look at the treatment of biblical figures in the literature of Islam. The broad range of his research and presentation is startling. He begins with the Qur'an but continues on to the collected writing of the roughly two hundred years after Mohammed (Hadith, Sunna...

The Christians is the history of Christianity, told chronologically, epoch by epoch, century by century, beginning at Pentecost and concluding with Christians as we find ourselves in the twenty-first century. It will consist of approximately twelve volumes, produced over a 10-year period at the beginning of the third Christian millennium. It is written and edited by Christians for Christians of all denominations. Its purpose is to tell the story of the Christian family, so that we may be knowledgeable of our origins, may well know and wisely profit from the experiences of our past both good and bad, and may find strength and inspiration to face the challenges of our era from the magnificent examples set for us by those who went before. - Back cover.
Sorting through Worldviews
Why do people adopt an overarching view of life that is mentally perilous? Does the Christian faith provide answers to the dilemmas of life by giving coherent answers to objections against the faith? Discussing the Christian faith with our family and friends can be quite challenging because of the various non-religious and religious perspectives, except if you know what questions to ask. This book takes you on a journey through objections to Christianity with insights on how to listen, ask questions, and provides commonsense explanations of the Christian faith without reliance on intellectual and academic arguments. Sorting through Worldviews is uniquely relevant for Christians who want to calmly and reasonably share their faith with anyone in a casual conversation. This book is distinctly timed for anyone curious about Christianity and wants it explained in a way that actually makes sense without a religious judgmental attitude.
Justice, Mercy, and Well-Being
This collection of essays examines how God's justice and mercy intersect in the lives of individuals and their communities, with a view to the establishment of personal and social well-being in the world. The authors, drawn from England and Australia, approach the theme from a variety of methodological and interdisciplinary perspectives. Theological, exegetical, historical, healthcare, moral, and visual arts approaches are brought to bear in an investigation relevant for the identity and mission of the church in a world characterized by cycles of revenge, the perpetration of injustice, and the marginalization and persecution of various ethnic groups. The practical outcome of these studies has wide-ranging relevance for our attitudes toward indigenous peoples, the well-being of single and married people, healthcare throughout the ages, the spiritual care of people (including those suffering dementia), the personal experience of trauma, issues of moral judgement, and the abiding value of the creative arts.
