Internationally renowned scholar Erhard Gerstenberger here offers a radical departure from traditional treatments. Rather than a systematic approach to theological topics in the Old Testament, Gerstenberger discusses its various theological voices rooted in different social settings within ancient Israel: the family and clan, the village, the tribal group, and the kingdom. Further, he discusses the variety of Israel's views concerning the divine{u2014}polytheism, syncretism, and monotheism. Gerstenberger concludes with his reflections on how contemporary theology is informed by the biblical witness and how it must be contextual and ecumenical in order to be authentic.

This book is an autobiographical memoir. It tells the story of how God prepared me for the work of theology during childhood and during my schooling at Princeton, Westminster, and Yale. It focuses on those events that shaped my theological convictions and led me to develop my distinctive emphases in theology, apologetics, and philosophy. It seeks to honor God's providence in leading me from one point to another in my life as a son, husband, father, theologian, apologist, and churchman. My goal in the book is to show how one's theological convictions are products, not only of logic and reasoning, but also of the events of one's life and the people one interacts with.

This book considers 12 life-giving truths that Christians can cling to in the midst of tragedy--truths that brought vital hope and comfort to the author when grieving the sudden loss of his 3-year-old son.

There are many heroes in the Chinese church. Today, humanly speaking, it should not exist - having been stamped out by the pressure of authorities prior to, and during, the Communist era. Yet today the church is larger than ever - and still growing. Some of this phenomenon can be attributed to the quality of leadership in the Church. People suffered for their faith, often in brutal and cruel ways, yet God maintained their faith in remarkable ways. Whilst there were many leaders of equally courageous stature in the church, three men have stood out in the 20th century. Wang Ming-Dao, Nee Duo-Sheng (Watchman Nee) and Yang Shao-Tang (David Yang) Leslie Lyall knew all three as a friend, and worked with two of them. He brings out their different personalities, analyses the effect they had on the church and compares their views in some key areas. All three worked outside the 'official' church, all three knew and respected each other. Their stories are inspiring, terrifying, solemn and joyous. They are an encouragement to us all.

"Thy Word is Truth" is a book written to encourage the reader to speak words of faith leading to life, instead of speaking words of fear leading to death. Speaking the word of God in faith will change your circumstances, as Jesus said, "the words I speak to you they are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63). Also, Jesus again said, "you can have what you believe and speak" (Mark 11:23). You can see from these verses that what you believe and speak, whether negative or positive, will affect your life. My desire is for the reader to use this book to a great advantage in their everyday life, by confessing the scriptures provided.

In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to religious pluralism, the Christian worldview faces sophisticated and aggressive opposition. A prior commitment to diversity, with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook, has meant for skeptics, critics and even many Christians that whatever Christianity is, it cannot be exclusively true or salvific. What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative, comprehensive Christian response. Point by point, argument by argument, the Christian faith must be effectively presented and defended. To Everyone an Answer: A Case for the Christian Worldview offers such a response. Editors Francis J. Beckwith, William Lane Craig and J. P. Moreland have gathered together in this book essays covering all major aspects of apologetics, including faith and reason, arguments for God's existence, a case for Jesus, the problem of evil, postmodernism, religious pluralism, and Christian exclusivism. - Publisher.

Buku ajar Misi sebagai Transformasi menyajikan diskursus misiologi yang komprehensif dengan menempatkan misi Kristen sebagai partisipasi umat Allah dalam missio Dei, yakni karya Allah Tritunggal yang mentransformasi manusia, masyarakat, dan seluruh ciptaan di dalam dan melalui Yesus Kristus. Misi dipahami bukan sekadar sebagai penginjilan verbal atau ekspansi institusional, melainkan sebagai panggilan teologis, sosial, dan historis yang bersifat holistik, kontekstual, dan transformatif.Buku ini juga menguraikan sejarah misi Kristen secara kritis dan kronologis, dari gereja mula-mula hingga misi kontemporer, dengan menyoroti ketegangan antara Injil dan kekuasaan, misi dan kolonialisme, serta iman dan keadilan sosial. Pergeseran paradigma dari misi yang berpusat di Barat menuju misi global “dari mana saja kepada siapa saja” ditegaskan sebagai bagian dari dinamika misi masa kini. Dalam kerangka misiologi kontemporer, buku ini merespons tantangan global seperti globalisasi, pluralisme agama, ketimpangan struktural, krisis ekologi, dan dunia digital, melalui pendekatan interdisipliner yang menegaskan misi holistik sebagai integrasi penginjilan, pemuridan, pelayanan sosial, advokasi keadilan, dan pemulihan ciptaan. Sebagai kejutan reflektif, buku ini menghadirkan sebuah ekskursus tentang anak dan misi sebagai transformasi, yang menantang paradigma misi dewasa-sentris dan menegaskan anak sebagai subjek penuh Kerajaan Allah. Ekskursus ini mengungkap bagaimana anak kerap terabaikan dalam praksis misi, sekaligus menunjukkan bahwa justru melalui anak berlangsung kesinambungan iman, transformasi generasional, dan kedalaman misi yang berkelanjutan, terutama dalam konteks budaya populer dan dunia digital. Dengan memadukan refleksi teologis, kesadaran historis, dan kepekaan kontekstual, buku ajar ini diharapkan menjadi referensi akademis bagi mahasiswa teologi, dosen, pemimpin gereja, dan praktisi misi, sekaligus menjadi panduan formasi iman dan praksis gereja yang rindu setia pada Injil dan terlibat nyata dalam karya transformasi Allah atas dunia.

Buku ini dapat membantu kita untuk mengerti tentang Trinitas secara sederhana dan meneguhkan iman kita tentang kebenaran firman Tuhan berkaitan dengan tuduhan-tuduhan atas Keallahan Yesus Kristus dan Roh Kudus.

Albert Schweitzer has called Johann Arndt the the prophet of interior Protestantism. This great German Lutheran mystic and follower of Melanchthon aroused Calvinist hostility by his spirituality of Christ in the heart of man. He was deposed as pastor of Bedeborn for refusing More ... to abide by the orders of his Calvinist duke. Inspired by Bernard of Clairvaux, Angela of Foligno, John Tauler and Thomas a Kempis, he later came to be venerated by the Pietists. True Christianity is his principal mystical work and one of the most important in the Protestant tradition. He published the first book of this work, which is presented here, in 1605. He added three other books at a later date and two more were appended posthumously. Books two to six are represented in this volume by selected excerpts.
