Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the fundamental principles of Christianity that all Christians must know but the fact is that almost all Christians (as well as Bible scholars) around the world do not know or do not understand what the Bible says with true and then causing doctrinal failures and deviating from actual teachings. Everything written in the NT must be based on the OT without conflict, not upside down. Therefore, the OT and the NT must be in harmony without conflict or confusion. The NT teaches the same with the OT to love also to love your enemies, abundant forgiveness, not revenge or vengeance, the OT also teaches unconditional love (agape) same with the NT, and all the teachings in the NT are actually the OT teachings. Because in fact, the OT and the NT tell the same principle without conflict. Truly, modern Christian doctrine commonly today is not fully the same as the teaching of the twelve apostles of Christ Jesus in the 1 century AD. This book discusses (to obtain) in an easy-to-understand way, what the apostles of Christ actually teach in the first century AD, as well as every reader (newbie or scholar) can understand what the Bible says with true. By reading this book the readers can understand that the Bible is the word of God which are amazing than any written work. The discussion of this book is able to guide the reader's mind to God's real purpose. All of us today know that there are many different teaching or doctrine of churches but, ALL DISCUSSIONS in this book are based on ancient Jewish and Christian documents, especially until the 2nd century AD, that the OT teaching is the same as the NT without any clashing and deserves consideration by Christian scholars! Below is a glance at this book: 1. There is a lot of evidence from ancient Jewish documents explaining who is the Jewish Messiah in the OT. 2. This book also explains clearly that Rom 5:15 is actually the law of soul for soul in Exod 21:24. Without the law of soul for soul, there is no redemption of sins by Christ. 3. Amazing for about the law "should be cut off" as in Exod 12:19, which seems harsh and as if God is easy to punish but in fact is very generous, long-suffering, merciful. Contrary to what Christians mean today. 4. Ancient Jewish teach that the Temple in Jerusalem are human bodies and were written by the apostle Paul in the NT, one example is 1 Cor 6:19-20. 5. Explaining the concept of the trinity in the understanding of the 1st and 2nd century AD churches. The trinity verses in the NT that do not appear in the OT, such as John 1:1, Col 1:15, etc. are actually based on the OT and were teach by ancient Jewish a long time before the 1st century AD. 6. Wars in the OT as evidence of God's love to restore the destruction because of sin, and it is based on Exod 21:24. The war still continues until the end of the world and all humans from all generations are involved, no one excluded. 7. Clearly that the law of soul for soul, eye for eye, tooth for tooth as written in the book of Moses is not scary, harsh, or without love. On the contrary, it proves wonderful love. This law is the NT teaching also included in Luke 6:27 to love your enemies. 8. Based on the church document in the 1st or 2nd century AD, this book explains NT passages that are difficult to understand, such as Rom 3:20 and Rom 7:6 that it is as if Christians no longer need to keep the law. Rom 2:13 are saved by keeping the law while Rom 3:20 are not saved by keeping the law? Also explains Eph 2:15 (it seems contrary to Matthew 5:17-18) based on the letter of Barnabas in the 2nd century AD describes Eph 2 is the teaching in the OT to keep the law of Moses, but (maybe) different from what the Christian church teaches today. 9. Based on the church documents in the 1st or 2nd century AD, this book also explains Col 2:16 and Rom 14 about food and drink and certain days, such as the Sabbath, and all of them are the OT teachings.

Book excerpt: Modern-day Christians often bring their own presuppositions and assumptions to the reading of the Bible, not realizing how deeply their understanding of Christ's life and teachings is affected by a 21st-century worldview. In Understanding Jesus, author Joe Amaral delves deep into Jewish history, societal mores, and cultural traditions, closing the gap created by geographical distance and over two thousand years of history. Using a chronological approach to the life of Christ, he guides the reader through significant events such as Jesus' birth, baptism, and crucifixion, pointing out illuminating details that that the Western mind would normally miss. Amaral's premise is that to understand Jesus, we must understand the time and place in which he was born, the background from which he drew his illustrations, and the audience he spoke to. Throughout the book he explores specific terms, places, and events for their significance and shows how they add richness and meaning to the text. Topics include the connection between Jesus and John the Baptist, the annual Feasts and why they are important to modern Christianity, Jewish customs such as foot-washing, clean and unclean foods, paying tribute to political governments, and the significance of various miracles. In Understanding Jesus, Amaral draws back the curtain on a way of life that existed during the reign of the Caesars, and in doing so, reveals truths about the way we live more than two thousand years later, half a world away.

Book excerpt: How can Christians defend truth and clarity to a world that rejects both? Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about sexuality and identity are viewed as heroes. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. Conversely, those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, arrogant, or intolerant. This cultural phenomenon led the compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary to name "post-truth" their word of the year in 2016. It's popularity and relevance has only increased since then. By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight we find ourselves in. He also challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering the Culture of Confusion through bad arguments, unwise labeling, and emotional attacks. Ultimately, Saving Truth provides arguments from a Christian perspective for the foundations of truth and how those foundations impart clarity to the biggest topics of human existence: Freedom. Human dignity. Sexuality, Gender, and Identity. Science and Faith. Religious pluralism and Morality. For those enmeshed in the culture of confusion, Saving Truth offers a way to untangle oneself and find hope in the clarity that Christ offers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jesus died on the cross, it seemed that all had been lost. Death had won. But after three days in a rich man's tomb, Jesus appeared...alive! The news was so shocking that his followers refused to believe it until they saw him with their own eyes and touched his wounds with their own hands. Then Jesus made an amazing claim: In the future, they too would have resurrected bodies like his, bodies that would never deteriorate, age, or perish. They would have new life without death or pain in the presence of a loving God forever. But can we really believe His promise? For that matter, can we really believe that the promise was made by a man who rose from the dead? In this fascinating look at the claims of the Gospel writers and 2,000 years of believing Christians, bestselling author Josh McDowell and his son Sean examine the compelling evidence and conclude that Jesus Christ conquered death and the grave. In clear, concise, and accessible chapters, Josh and Sean present the facts about the resurrection and what it means for readers today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book helps beginning theological students grasp the basics of Christian theology. Consciously avoiding the perspective of one school of thought or confessional tradition, the authors provide the reader with a brief, broad overview of the questions and contents of theological study. Their accessible use of language, clear organization, and careful explanation will prove of invaluable aid to those who are getting their theological feet wet for the first time. "In the words of its authors, this book offers an introduction 'to the fuller spectrum of Christian theology as it has developed through the centuries.' Few writers address the historical development of the classic doctrines and the contemporary resonance as adroitly as Gonzalez and Perez. The chapter on Jesus Christ, for example, presents concise summaries of the treatments of Christ's person leading up to Chalcedon, while suggesting a need for a multiplicity of images in understanding the work of Christ that liberates the whole person and restores all creation. Beginning students, as a result, are invited into a living theological conversation, where the contested claims of the past have continued relevance in a contemporary era beset by its undervaluing of the body and creation. Broadly ecumenical in tenor, with reference to theologians from nearly every century, the work should appeal to both a popular readership and introductory students in college and seminary. One disappointing aspect of the book is an absence of Latino/a, feminist, and liberation perspectives. For a work that argues for the contextuality of all theology, and from authors whose previous work has been monumental in Hispanic theological education, this lack is surprising."---David H. Jensen, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Religious Studies Review, Volume 29 Number 3, July 2003.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting on the practice of disciple making in young adult, college, graduate, and local church contexts, Jonathan Dodson has discerned some common pitfalls. For many, discipleship is reduced to a form of religious performance before God. For others, it devolves into spiritual license and a loose adherence to spiritual facts. Both approaches distort biblical motivations for Christian obedience and are in need of reform. By explaining various motivations for discipleship, Dodson charts a biblically faithful, grace-driven alternative. Additionally, he provides a practical model for creating gospel-centered discipleship groups—small, reproducible, missional, gender-specific groups of believers that fight for faith together. This book blends both theology and practice to inspire and equip Christians to effectively fight sin, keep Jesus central, and make gospel-centered discipleship a way of life. Both new and growing Christians will learn to trust the gospel in community as they fight together for holiness as well as how to start gospel-centered community groups in any local church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first book, The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche observes that Greek tragedy gathered people together as a community in the sight of their gods, and argues that modernity can be rescued from 'nihilism' only through the revival of such a festival. This is commonly thought to be a view which did not survive the termination of Nietzsche's early Wagnerianism, but Julian Young argues, on the basis of an examination of all of Nietzsche's published works, that his religious communitarianism in fact persists through all his writings. What follows, it is argued, is that the mature Nietzsche is neither an 'atheist', an 'individualist', nor an 'immoralist': he is a German philosopher belonging to a German tradition of conservative communitarianism - though to claim him as a proto-Nazi is radically mistaken. This important reassessment will be of interest to all Nietzsche scholars and to a wide range of readers in German philosophy.

Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a number of high profile scholars converting to Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy while a trend in the laity expresses an eclectic hunger for tradition. The status and role of confessions stands at the center of the debate within evangelicalism today as many resonate with the call to return to Christianity's ancient roots. Carl Trueman offers an analysis of why creeds and confessions are necessary, how they have developed over time, and how they can function in the church of today and tomorrow. He writes primarily for evangelicals who are not particularly confessional in their thinking yet who belong to confessional churches—Baptists, independents, etc.—so that they will see more clearly the usefulness of the church's tradition.
