Have you ever felt that theology books are written for seminarians—not seniors? Do dense language or abstract debates leave you more overwhelmed than encouraged? Maybe you long for deeper understanding, stronger assurance, and a clearer grasp of what you believe—but you want it explained in plain, practical language that connects with real life. You’re not alone. And you are not “too late” to grow deeper in your faith. Systematic Theology Blueprint for Seniors was created specifically for adults over 60 who desire clarity, confidence, and spiritual strength. This is not a dry ...

If God is the creator of all, might creation itself not provide us with ways of seeing God that enrich our understanding--that connect our desire for God with our life in creation? Natural theology has been a feature of Christian thinking for centuries, but it has also been misunderstood and...

This useful and accessible book helps listeners to do just that. For those who are seeking a spiritual home, Fr Daniel Daly offers straightforward guidance. For those who are seeking the truth, this book makes a compelling case for the choice of Orthodoxy.

Este libro se propone demostrar la importancia fundamental de la escatología, intrínsecamente ligada a disciplinas teológicas como la cristología, la soteriología, la eclesiología y la hermenéutica. Además, mostraremos que sus raíces se extienden más allá de los textos bíblicos finales, trazando un recorrido desde Génesis hasta Apocalipsis que revela un hilo conductor escatológico innegable y consistente. No se trata de eventos aislados, sino del despliegue de un plan soberano a lo largo de la historia.

In this sweeping look at the Christian faith, Dr. George Koch lays out the foundation of what we believe and why we believe it. Examining Christianity from its Jewish roots to its present-day situation, Dr. Koch moves beyond the denominational struggles and doctrinal wars of modern Christianity to get back to the heart of our faith and examine how we can move past these debates and achieve true unity in Christ.

In our day, much as in Chadwick's, Pentecost is mostly misunderstood by the Church at large and is therefore either feared or turned into a circus. In both cases the Spirit of God is either lacking or completely grieved. This is evident in the absence of power; power to embrace and live a holy life in spite of the deprivations of the professing church and the pollutions of the world around us.

In Reading Romans 9 From a Non-Calvinist Perspective, Chris White offers a clear, verse-by-verse journey through the Bible’s most controversial chapter. By restoring the historical context and tracing the flow of Paul’s argument through chapters 10 and 11, this book demonstrates that Paul is not describing a lottery of souls, but defending God's sovereign right to save the world by faith rather than works.

This is perhaps the most sustained critique of the formal doctrine of Protestantism, Sola Scriptura, from a Latter-day Saint in print that I am aware of. All the "proof-texts" are exegeted carefully, including 1 Cor 4:6, 2 Tim 3:16-17, Rev 22:18-19, Rom 15:4, Acts 17:11, and Isa 8:20. There is also an appendix discussing important patristic-era authors and how they did not function in a way commensurate with the doctrine/practice of Sola Scriptura and the formal sufficiency of the bible (e.g., Irenaeus of Lyons). I also discuss texts and arguments one should *not* use against this doctrine,...

C. T. Studd was one of the Cambridge Seven in the 1800s. These men dedicated their lives to Christian missions work.

This new, original translation of Cicero's On the Nature of the Gods is the first to appear in many years. Do the gods exist? Is there a divine order to the universe?

"You won’t like this book. Ecclesiastes is gloomy, skeptical, and irreverent. It is caustic and drolly splenetic. It is unapologetically human. It refuses to abet our hunger for clean narratives and happy endings. It is a hopeless book. Insisting on life’s futility, the world’s capriciousness, and God’s inscrutability, it deliberately cultivates despair. It sees such bone-deep hopelessness as the only cure for what ails us. Ecclesiastes is a hard book full of hard sayings. It is an anvil against which our hearts must be hammered. No wonder we avoid it. But the cost of avoidance is ...
