Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu.

In An Easy-to-Understand Guide to Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds, Phillip Johnson provides an answer: the key to defeating the false claims of Darwinism is to open our minds to goodthinking habits. He gives first-rate advice on avoiding common mistakes in discussions about evolution, understanding the legacy of the Scopes trial, spotting deceptive arguments, and grasping the basic scientific issues without getting bogged downin unnecessary details. With this book, ordinary Christians can find the resources they need to discuss and defeat the false claims of Darwinism. Throughout this book, Johnson addresses questions like: - How can I have a reasoned conversation about creationism without being dismissed as a religious fanatic - How can I effectively use logical reasoning and investigative procedure - How can I apply critical thinking to questions both of religion and of evolution - What is Intelligent Design In the bestselling and critically acclaimed books Darwin on Trial and Reason in the Balance, Phillip Johnson exposed the misleading claims of evolutionary naturalism. With this book, he provides an accessible yet powerful treatment of these issues for high-school students, parents, teachers, pastors, and ordinary readers. Johnson aims not just to defeat a bad theory, but to defeat it in the right way: by opening minds to the truth.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Here is a book that sets our worship, sacraments, communion and language of God back on track. In a day when refinement of method and quality of experience are the guiding lights for many Christians, James Torrance points us to the indispensable who of worship, the triune God of grace. Worship is the gift of participating through the Spirit in the incarnate Son's communion with the Father, writes Torrance.This book explodes the notion that the doctrine of the Trinity may be indispensable for the creed but remote from life and worship. Firmly rooted in Scripture and theology, alive with pastoral counsel and anecdote, Torrance's work shows us just why real trinitarian theology is the very fiber of Christian confession.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Evangelism is difficult. Face it; most people just aren't interested in hearing about Jesus. They are quite satisfied with their lives, quite content with their beliefs, and see no need to change. So how can you get them interested in the gospel In this readable and accessible book, evangelist Nick Pollard shows how to break through the barrier of disinterest. He shows why Jesus can and should make a difference for the people you know. And he shows how you can interest them in learning more about Jesus. Along the way, Pollard examines why people think the way they do and provides help for better understanding and challenging non-Christian worldviews. He also answers sketpics' tough questions, offers practical methods for explaining the gospel, and gives suggestions for leading others in their first steps to faith in Christ.Evangelism may never be easy. But Nick Pollard's imaginative approach, infectious enthusiasm and field-tested advice will make it slightly less difficult.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - - One of the 1998 Academy of Parish Clergy Top Ten Books of the YearNearly half of adults today are unmarried. But most churches emphasize marriage and family, leaving many Christian singles feeling marginalized or alienated. Though they look to Jesus and Paul as role models, many suspect they would be more acceptable to the church--and God--if they settled down and got married.Albert Hsu challenges this view. Christian singles don't need tips on finding a mate or advice on suffering through the single life. What they need is a truly Christian understanding of singleness--a biblically grounded, theologically informed perspective that honors singleness equally with marriage and family.Moving beyond pat answers, Hsu- debunks the myth of the 'gift of singleness'- chronicles how the church has overemphasized both singleness and marriage- works through discerning God's will as a single Christian- explains why searching for the right marriage partner can be misguided--even unbiblical- grapples with loneliness, aloneness and community- warns of common mistakes regarding dating, love and sexHsu draws insight from an interview with John Stott aswell as from the stories of other Christian students and professionals. Ultimately, singleness is not a problem to be solved by marriage, he says; rather, like marriage, it is an opportunity in which to follow Jesus. Singles at the Crossroads points the way to a Christian community where all members are valued, Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female, married and single.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - At the end of the twentieth century the forces of race, gender, ethnicity, culture, social status, life-style and sexual preference threaten to disassemble any notion of universal 'human nature' or 'human condition.' In light of this historical moment, the Christian doctrine of human nature is ripe for rethinking and reformulation.Charles Sherlock sees this theological task as demanding a 'double focus.' To reflect on the subject of human nature, he says, is like 'moving around the different areas of an ellipse with two focal points' humans as made in the image of God and the particular realities of human existence. Both must be brought into sharper, more detailed focus in our quest to understand human nature.The result of Sherlock's 'double focus' is The Doctrine of Humanity. Sherlock notably engages the communal dimension of humanity in its social, creational and cultural aspects before examining the human person as individual, as male and female, and as whole being. He offers a timely and engaging look at what it means to be human on the continuum between our creation in the divine image and our recreation in the image of Christ.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The Holy Spirit, once forgotten, has been 'rediscovered' in the twentieth century--or has he Sinclair Ferguson believes we should rephrase this common assertion: 'While his work has been recognized, the Spirit himself remains to many Christians an anonymous, faceless aspect of the divine being.' In order to redress this balance, Ferguson seeks to recover the who of the Spirit fully as much as the what and how.Ferguson's study is rooted and driven by the scriptural story of the Spirit in creation and redemption. Throughout he shows himself fully at home in the church's historical theology of the Spirit and conversant with the wide variety of contemporary Christians who have explored thedoctrine of the Holy Spirit.Foundational issues are surveyed and clarified. Hard questions are explored and answered. Clarity and insight radiate from every page. Here is the mature reflection of a Reformed theologian who will summon respectand charity from those who disagree. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Rumors of deception have surrounded claims of Jesus' resurrection ever since the soldiers appointed to guard his tomb made their report to the Jewish authorities. But no one has led the philosophic charge against miracles quite as influentially as David Hume with his 1748 essay 'Of Miracles.' Refined, revised, restated, his arguments still affect philosophic discussions of miracles today.During the twentieth century, strong arguments have been raised by Antony Flew, professor emeritus at Keele University in England. Flew has contributed a fresh statement of his objections to the idea of God's acting in history just for this volume, which also includes Hume's classic critique as a part of the case against miracles.In response, Douglas Geivett and Gary Habermas have assembled a distinguished team of scholars to rebut the objections and set forth the positive case for God's action in history: Richard Purtill clarifies the word miracle, while Norman Geisler critiques Hume's case against miracles. Francis Beckwith and Winfried Corduan assess how we would recognize miracles in the past and in the present. Ronald Nash examines naturalism's exclusion of miracles and shows its self-referential incoherence. J. P. Moreland discusses whether science properly rules out the possibility of miracles. God's existence and action in history are probed by David Beck and Stephen Davis, while Douglas Geivett argues that within a theistic framework it is reasonable to expect miracles as confirmation of claims to special revelation. David Clark examines miracles within the context of various world religions. Robert Newman, John Feinberg, William Lane Craig and Gary Habermas conclude by investigating fulfilled prophecy, the virgin birth and incarnation of Jesus, the empty tomb, and the resurrection appearances.In Defense of Miracles is a comprehensive, up-to-date discussion that should not be overlooked by anyone concerned with the current debate over miracles.…
