A reformer who taught families to pray at the kitchen table also wrote words that set whole cities on edge. The Dark Side of Luther is a fast, source-aware reader that holds both truths in the same small book. In tight chapters—you’ll step into the heat of the sixteenth-century pamphlet wars and watch how table talk, sermons, and letters pulled in different directions. We won’t argue you into a verdict; we’ll hand you the receipts. If you’ve only met the hero or only heard the horror stories, this booklet invites you past both—toward curiosity, clarity, and a more honest ...

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 ...

El Misterio de la Providencia, a pesar de haber sido publicado hace mas de trescientos años, permanece como un clásico de la Fe Evangélica Protestante, tanto por su solidez bíblica, como por su profunda aplicación pastoral. El Misterio de la Providencia es la obra cúspide de John Flavel, un gigante en una era de gigantes, y es considerado una de las más grandes obras del cristianismo de todos los tiempos. George Whitefield (1714-1768) dijo que estos clásicos se seguirían leyendo hasta el fin de los tiempos, pues “aunque sus autores murieron, hablan todavía por sus escritos: una ...

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God … And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us … (John 1: 1, 14) Very few Christians actually comprehend the depth of meaning contained within this text of Scripture. When John wrote that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, he was saying much more than most of us have any idea. In this thorough yet easy-to-understand study, Isaac Dargan demonstrates that Jesus Christ truly is the Word made flesh, through the examination of the Brazen Alter – the first of six items of furniture contained within ...

For centuries, readers have been told that the God of the Old Testament must be infinite, perfect, and morally ultimate — and that any contradictions in the text are mysteries beyond human understanding. This book challenges that assumption. Not by mocking. Not by deconstructing for shock value. Not by denying the text. But by asking a simpler question: What kind of being is actually being described? When read without theological insulation, the Old Testament presents a figure who: • Reacts emotionally • Revises plans • Escalates punishment • Tests loyalty • Requires maintenance...

Talking to key modern influences and thinkers, and drawing inspiration from the Bible and the historical experience of the Jewish people, Sacks argues that there are eight key factors in establishing, maintaining and passing on resilient moral values within a broad group, among them attitudes of lifelong learning and of thanksgiving, the importance of family life and community, and a culture of positive argument in place of destructive conflict.

What if the very key to understanding God’s plan for humanity—the bridge between law, grace, and promise—has been sitting in plain sight, but the modern church has all but forgotten it? In a world of fragmented theologies and shifting doctrines, believers are left asking: How does God really relate to His people today? For centuries, covenant theology has served as the backbone of Christian understanding, yet many dismiss it as an outdated relic or confine it to dusty academic debates. But without covenant theology, grace becomes sentiment, law becomes crushing, and promise becomes ...

This annotated edition brings fresh insight into Spurgeon’s timeless message, offering encouragement for those seeking to live out their faith with purpose and holiness.

In the beginning, those three words are the unmistakable foundation for our worldview, whatever that view may be. We can all agree that there was a beginning. What did it look like? How did it happen? Who or what made it happen? The Bible answers all of these questions.

The following document concerning Mary, Mother of Jesus, contains little that is fundamentally new. It is rather for the most part a synthesis of Mary’s exalted roles as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix, and Advocate as they are already contained in the sources of divine revelation, Sacred Scripture and Apostolic Tradition, as interpreted by the Magisterium (cf. Dei Verbum, n. 9, 10), and as it is presently understood and experienced in the dynamic ecclesial life of the Living, Pondering, and Praying Church, the People of God. It is true that in the divine drama of how God makes himself and his ...

Homily Five “On the Meeting of Our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ”. Including the Subject of Chastity and Its Evil Opposite.

Read David’s inaugural song of thanksgiving at the Tabernacle of David again (1 Chronicles 16). That describes someone who “fears and loves to think about God” (Malachi 3:16-18). These people in Malachi who openly declare their love and appreciation for God learned the lessons of the Tabernacle of David while most long forgot its meaning and practice.’ What David did, especially since the dedication of the Tabernacle of David was proceeded by burnt and peace offerings, showed God’s declaration of peace with those “who fear and love to think about Me” (Malachi 3:16-18). It was ...
