The Doctrine of Good Works
In Titus, Paul says Christ redeemed a people "zealous for good works." Despite this declaration and others like it, the doctrine of good works has fallen on hard times in contemporary Protestant theology and practice. At best, it's neglected--as in most systematic theologies and in too much church teaching. At worst, it's viewed with suspicion--as a threat to salvation by grace alone through faith alone. In this important work addressing a significant gap in current theological literature, the authors argue that by jettisoning a doctrine of good works, the contemporary church contradicts historical Protestantism and, more importantly, biblical teaching. They combine their areas of expertise--exegesis, systematic and historical theology, and practical theology--to help readers recover and embrace a positive doctrine of good works. They survey historical Protestant teaching to show the importance of the doctrine to our forebears, engage the scriptural testimony on the role of good works, formulate a theology of salvation and good works, and explore pastoral applications.
Listen, Understand, Obey
This volume brings together a diverse group of scholars, including biblical, systematic, and historical theologians, to honor Gareth Lee Cockerill, longtime professor of New Testament at Wesley Biblical Seminary (Jackson, MS) and distinguished scholar of the book of Hebrews. The essays focus on various aspects of Hebrews' theology, ranging from the nature of "rest" in Hebrews to the interpretation of Hebrews in early Methodism. Readers will find resources to hear and comprehend Hebrews afresh and will be challenged to draw near to the throne of grace with confidence (Heb 4:16).

Mark
From the author of "LifeChanging Bible Study" and "Discipleship In The Home"...Mark is a gospel of action. That is why it is a perfect book for those who want to make disciples that practice their faith with service, with boldness, with compassion and with purpose. This study guide includes places to reflect on principles as well as places to remind the disciple to take action this week. For if we study Mark and don't act, we don't truly understand his account of Christ.

The Hand of the Past in Contemporary Southern Politics
div A central story of contemporary southern politics is the emergence of Republican majorities in the region’s congressional delegation. Acknowledging the significance and scope of the political change, James M. Glaser argues that, nevertheless, strands of continuity affect the practice of campaign politics in important ways. Strong southern tradition underlies the strategies pursued by the candidates, their presentational styles, and the psychology of their campaigns. The author offers eyewitness accounts of recent congressional campaigns in Texas, Mississippi, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. In the tradition of his award-winning book Race, Campaign Politics, and the Realignment in the South, Glaser captures the “stuff” of politics—the characters, the images, the rhetoric, and the scenery. Painting a full and fascinating picture of what it is like on the campaign trail, Glaser provides wide-ranging insights into the ways that the “hand of the past” reaches into the southern present. /DIV
Cutting Edge of the Kingdom
Too many pastors think it is a divine right to have a full salary with health care, a pension, and a two-week paid vacation. But if that is the bare necessity of ministry, then a majority of churches in America (with a much higher percentage internationally) aren't going to have pastors at all. Worse, church planting is going to be severely stunted. Nothing wrong with compensation, but there is definitely room at the Great Commission table for bi-vocational ministers. They are a growing necessity for an expanding Kingdom.So, from the outset: Thank you, bi-vocational ministers. Theworld is a much better place and the Kingdom is stronger because ofyou.
