In "The Comfort of Calvinism: A Defense of the Reformed Faith," Dr. Doug Erlandson, a retired professor of philosophy, and a pastor, presents a defense of Calvinism (many detractors refer to it as "that damnable doctrine") and shows how this understanding of Scripture has confronted him since he became a Christian more than 40 years ago."

Homily Twenty-Seven "Another Homily Delivered at Harvest Time". Including the Subject of the Future Harvest of Men.

Eternal life is not merely a future destination—it is a present reality we are called to enter, embrace, and take hold of. The word of God says: " Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession." 1 Timothy 6:12 "And this is eternal life, that they KNOW you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." John 17:3 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." John 5:24 Yet for many believers, eternal life is an ...

Restoring Humanism to Religion explores the decline of traditional religious beliefs and institutions, particularly Christianity, and advocates for a shift toward "religiousness," defined as human spirituality rooted in compassion, solidarity, and humanism. Galston critiques the historical and theological foundations of religion, emphasizing the need to move beyond dogmatic beliefs, authoritarian structures, and the concept of original sin, which have often led to anti-humanist practices.

Many Christians are under the impression that God's grace and his favor are two different things - that while his grace may be a gift, his favor is something we must earn. This misunderstanding has led to destructive teachings about "prosperity" and blessings, and ultimately to lives that feel unfulfilled and inadequate. Pastor Greg Gilbert puts favor back in its rightful place, as God's gift through Jesus Christ. He shows how the favor that Jesus earned through his perfect life and sacrificial death becomes ours the moment we believe.

Transcending Architecture considers the mysterious, profound, and real power of designed environments to address the spiritual dimension of our humanity. The book offers a wide, critical, and nuanced understanding of the lived relationship between the built and the numinous worlds. It examines phenomenological, symbolic and designerly ways in which the holy gets fixed and experienced through buildings, landscapes, and urban forms, and not just in institutionally defined religious or sacred places. Transcending Architecture brings together a stellar group of scholars and practitioners to share their insights: architect Juhani Pallasmaa and philosopher Karsten Harries, comparative religion scholar Lindsay Jones and architectural theoretician Karla Britton, sacred architecture researcher Thomas Barrie and theologian Kevin Seasoltz, landscape architect Rebecca Krinke and Faith & Form magazine editor Michael Crosbie, are among the illustrious contributors.
