This pamphlet shines light on the Biblical reality of a most-definitely-non-feminist God, and His most-definitely-not-feminist plan for marriage.

EL SIGLO XX NO FUE CLEMENTE CON LA TEOLOGÍA REFORMADA CLÁSICA Aunque los teólogos conservadores suelen culpar a los teólogos liberales de socavar las doctrinas protestantes tradicionales, los conservadores evangélicos más fervientes y los neoortodoxos también revisaron en gran medida varias doctrinas esenciales. Aunque Cornelius Van Til desarrolló la apologética presuposicional como un intento de permanecer fiel a la verdad cristiana intemporal, en el proceso sacrificó la comprensión universal y reformada del uso de la revelación natural en teología y apologética. "Las cosas ...

Seen as godless by the religious and weak by the atheists, secularism mostly has been misunderstood.

While teaching ethics is universally applauded, how one goes about it is much more difficult and contested than is often recognized. On Teaching and Learning Christian Ethics addresses what it means to teach and learn ethics through a thorough comparison of two ethicists, Henry Sidgwick and F. D. Maurice. Where Sidgwick understood ethics as developing a method for guiding voluntary action to what is right, Maurice maintained that ethics concerns life as a whole, and that requires placing it within a metaphysical and theological realm in which the good is much more definitive than right.
