An unapologetic tale of 21 saints from 21 centuries, Against the Grain is a heroic love story.

If you live as a sign of contradiction amidst our coarsening culture and are looking to live a life of greater virtue, perhaps even heroic virtue, be fortified with Against the Grain.

What did Paul really mean in 1 Corinthians 11? Was the head covering a temporary custom, a permanent ordinance, or something far deeper than modern readers often assume? Women and Head Coverings is a bold and reverent examination of one of the most neglected and uncomfortable subjects in Christian worship. Refusing both modern mockery and empty traditionalism, this book digs into the biblical text itself—tracing Paul’s argument through headship, creation, glory, shame, nature, and the presence of angels. It wrestles honestly with the strongest arguments on both sides and asks whether ...

The prospect of blending the authority of spiritual institutions with the machinery of secular governance has long sparked apprehension among historians, theologians, and political theorists alike. The concern arises not merely from abstract principle but from a tapestry of lived experience, woven through the centuries by communities that have tasted both the allure of joint power and the bitterness of its consequences. At the heart of this dilemma stands the persistent question of how a faith tradition, founded upon ideals of humility, service, and moral conviction, can maintain its ...

UNA OBRA FUNDAMENTAL EN LA TEOLOGÍA BAUTISTA PARTICULAR Un Discurso sobre los Pactos, de Nehemiah Coxe, permanece como una de las rocas fundamentales de la teología del Pacto desde una perspectiva distintivamente bautista reformada. Existe un despertar en el interés de muchos latinoamericanos por estudiar la Biblia de la misma manera que Charles Spurgeon, John C. Ryle, John Owen, John Bunyan, Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, y en el presente hombres como Martyn Lloyd-Jones, J.I. Packer, R.C. Sproul, Joel Beeke, entre muchos otros, lo hicieron: La teología del Pacto ha sido el ...

I believe... For many, these words are routine. Recited. Memorized. Forgotten. But the ancient Creeds were never meant to be dull doctrine—they are declarations of life and faith.

Questions and answers about religious rituals, belief in deities, Christianity, the harm done by religion, peaceful religions of the world, witch burning, slavery, the Bible and its evolution and corruption, the Ten Commandments (and why they are mostly immoral), Jesus, Christmas and theology. Some good, some benign, but MOSTLY HARMFUL. PRAISE FOR MOSTLY HARMFUL How could anyone outdo the feat of writing Beyond the Crusades? Only its author could do that, as we see in Michael Paulkovich's Mostly Harmful: 1001 Things Everyone Should Know about Religion. This is a wonderfully readable ...

Are the biblical gospels historically reliable eyewitness accounts? What does the evidence say? And if they are, what implications does that have for what these writers claim about Jesus? In this book, Christian Apologist and self-proclaimed Bible Nerd Evan Minton defends the reliability of the gospels. He looks into the issue of whether the New Testament writings we have today reflect what the originals said 2,000 years ago, whether Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John whose names are at the top of the gospels are really the people who wrote these books, whether secular extra biblical documents ...

This book will take you on a fascinating journey through the history of Christian thought. The journey includes surprising twists and turns as we navigate the three major views of hell in church history: (1) eternal conscious torment, (2) annihilationism (sinners will cease to exist), and (3) ultimate restoration (hell is an afterlife refinery leading all to repentance and faith in Christ). But this is much more than a tour through the underworld. This topic drives us to take a closer look at the Bible, Christian theology, and the character of God.

Who is the true Israel? For centuries, the Christian Church has answered this question with a resounding affirmation: the Church, as the body of believers in Jesus Christ, is the True Israel, inheriting the covenant promises of the Old Testament. Yet, in the modern era, this historic understanding has been challenged by dispensationalism, a theology that separates Israel and the Church, fueling political agendas and reshaping evangelical thought. Who is Israel?

CONFESIONES REFORMADAS DE LOS SIGLOS 16 Y 17- VOLUMEN 2: 1549-1560 Lejos de la percepción común, la tradición reformada no tiene su fundamento en un único teólogo o documento confesional; más bien, su base reside en una serie de documentos fundacionales creados por la iglesia durante los siglos 16 y 17, testificando la unidad y la diversidad inherentes en esta tradición. Esta recopilación de documentos confesionales nos ofrece la oportunidad de ver la unidad teológica profunda que se manifestaba en el protestantismo durante los primeros siglos de su existencia. Pero, al mismo ...
