A Generous Community
Bishop Andy Doyle understands that the church must change. Every day, he presides over parishes that are no longer vital, that have not adapted to the "VUCA" (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world of today -- the world in which the church exists. The church still looks to hierarchies when it needs to build networks, and stays mired in arguments when it needs to find unity. With the experience of a bishop and the insight of a deep learner, Doyle points the way to the future with a vision for how we can learn, serve, and communicate with each other. - Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas and author of Unabashedly Episcopalian; has the authority to call for change to hierarchical structures - Practical ideas for connecting and building communities of service

Trinity
What do Christians mean when we say we worship a triune God? Two of the most common and oldest of the Christian confessions of faith are the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds. In those statements of faith, Christians profess belief in the triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Are these three persons the same God? Is the Trinity just one of the many ways to describe God? What does triune even mean? Trinity uses the Bible itself to show the truth about the Trinity. It answers the questions, “Can God be known?” and “How can God be known?” and comforts you with the knowledge that what God says about himself in the Bible is what you absolutely need to know in order to be saved. Through this book, you will grow in appreciation for what God says about himself—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in his Word!
Seeking a Gentle and Quiet Spirit in a Harsh and Noisy World
How is a God-fearing woman supposed to navigate the land mines of modern culture? Is it really possible to have a “gentle and quiet spirit” in a world that values individuality and outspokenness to a fault? It’s no secret that women face unique pressures and demands from our noisy, fast-paced society. Compelled to look good 24/7 by relentless advertising and social media feeds.

Expected to follow certain fashion trends or think specific things both culturally and politically. If you’re sick of the world’s pressures and pace but also afraid gentle and quiet are not words that describe you, there is still hope! Seeking a Gentle & Quiet Spirit in a Harsh and Noisy World was written for you by a woman who u

Paul's Utilization of Preformed Traditions in 1 Timothy
Mark Yarbrough assesses the question of whether traditional 'preformed' material contributes to the message and understanding of Paul's first letter to Timothy. The issue is addressed in three sections. Part one evaluates previous works interacting with 'traditional' material in the New Testament. Through a critique of historically proposed criteria, Yarbrough identifies eight criteria as the primary tools by which to discern units of preformed material. In the second part of the book Yarbrough evaluates nineteen passages in 1 Timothy according to the criteria previously determined. From this base he embraces twelve of the nineteen passages as preformed material. These passages are subsequen...
A Historical and Theological Look at the Doctrine of Christian Baptism
“This historical approach will help us work through the contradictory and diverse testimony of the Protestant church in regard to baptism. Why this can’t be done without appeals to history is that all positions, like all of the multiple Protestant denominations, claim to be derived purely from the Bible and thoroughly apostolic. That equally brilliant scholars can disagree so extremely on such a thoroughly articulated and prominent doctrine leaves no where else to turn for the critically minded person.” Excerpt from A Historical and Theological Look at the Doctrine of Christian Baptism.
A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus’s Resurrection
The keystone of Christianity is Jesus's physical, bodily resurrection. Present-day scholars can be significantly challenged as they forage through voluminous documents on the resurrection of Jesus. The literature measures well over seven thousand sources in English-language books alone. This makes finding specific sources that are most relevant for specific scholarly purposes an arduous task. Even when a specific book is relevant, finding the parts of the book that are most relevant to the resurrection rather than other topics often requires additional effort. A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus's Resurrection addresses these challenges in several ways. First, the bibliography o...
