In this innovative work in theological method and hermeneutics, Michael S. Horton uses the motif of the covenant as a way of binding together God's "word" and God's "act." Seeking an integration of theological method with the content of Christian theology, Horton emphasizes God's covenant as God's way of working for redemption in the world. Horton maintains a substantial dialogue with important philosophical figures and Christian theologians, ultimately providing scholars and serious students a significant model for approaching and understanding Christian theology.

Building on Covenant and Eschatology: The Divine Drama, this volume is part two of a three-part project surveying essential topics of Christian theology through the lens of covenant. In Lord and Servant: A Covenant Christology, Michael Horton explores the topics that are generally grouped under the doctrines of God, humanity, and Christology. Rather than attempt a general systematic theology, Horton revisits these topics at the places where covenant and eschatology offer the most promising insight and where there is the most contemporary interest and debate.

Lord and Servant: A Covenant Christology

In this final volume of a four-volume series, Michael Horton explores the origin, mission, and destiny of the church through the lens of covenantal theology. Arguing that the history of Israel and the covenant of grace provide the proper context for New Testament ecclesiology, Horton then shows how the church is constituted through the ascension of Christ, the Pentecost, and the Parousia and how it continues to live by the Word and sacraments. Horton's goal is to demonstrate the potential of a covenantal model for integrating the themes of the church as people and as place, with an urgent concern for contemporary practice.

People and Place: A Covenant Ecclesiology

Following Covenant and Eschatology and Lord and Servant, this concluding volume of a four-part series examines Christian salvation from the perspective of covenant theology. In Covenant and Salvation, Michael Horton surveys law and gospel, union with Christ, and justification and theosis, conversing with both classical and contemporary viewpoints.

Covenant and Salvation: Union with Christ

Michael Horton mixes theological truths with practical applications to bring the reader into a deeper understanding of what it means to live a life full of the wisdom of the Ten Commandments.

La Ley de la Libertad Perfecta: Relacionándonos con Dios y los Demás a Través de los Diez Mandamientos (Spanish Edition)

Vida

In a world of hype, we may buy into the idea that through Jesus, we'll be healthier and wealthier as well as wiser. So what happens when we become ill, or depressed, or bankrupt? Did we do something wrong? Has God abandoned us? As a child, Michael Horton would run up the down escalator, trying to beat it to the top. As Christians, he notes, we sometimes seek God the same way, believing we can climb to him under our own steam. But we can't, which is why we are blessed that Jesus descends to us, especially during times of trial. In Too Good to Be True, Horton exposes the pop culture that sells Jesus like a product for health and happiness and reminds us that our lives often lead us on difficult routes we must follow by faith. This book offers a series of powerful readings that demonstrate how, through every type of earthly difficulty, our Father keeps his promises from Scripture and works all things together for our good.

Demasiado bueno para ser cierto: Encontrando esperanza en un mundo distorsionado (Spanish Edition)

With our world in such confusion, people are asking: Isn't it time for Catholics and evangelicals to lay aside their differences and achieve a united front against secularism? While the core issues that have traditionally separated them are few, they are of eternal importance. So how best to navigate these troubled waters? In modern times the two sides have tried to do it by signing agreements. Yet these don't respond to the vital issues that keep Catholics and evangelicals apart. Explains Michael Horton, "For those who care about truth, Christian unity must be a marriage made in heaven, not a merger made on earth." The greatest hope, says Horton, is that both evangelicals and Catholics will enter a new period of reformation and come out of that with genuine agreement in--and understanding of--the Gospel. For this is the heart of the matter, as well as the heart of Christian faith.

There is a crisis of truth in our time, asserts Michael Horton, even in our evangelical church. And it is due at least in part to our cultural accommodation. Horton believes the time has come to call evangelicals back to faith and truth.

For more than twenty-five years, Modern Reformation magazine has been a trusted source for biblical exegesis, cultural reflection, and theological instruction. In this new volume, the editors of Modern Reformation have gathered together fifteen articles and interviews on a subject many remain ignorant of today: apologetics.The art and science of defending the faith is more important than ever. Militant atheism, the rise of the "nones," and the hollowing out of evangelicalism require faithful Christians to have reasonable arguments at the ready for the hope that lies within them (1 Peter 3:15). Sadly, this era of "moralistic, therapeutic deism" (as Christian Smith terms it) has made it difficult for many Christians to answer the skeptics. Beyond a few key facts about the Christian faith, and a testimony to the personal effect of Christianity in their lives, many modern Christians are unable to speak to those who stand outside their own religious circles.The articles in this book, then, are not only time-test; they are timely. The task of apologetics cannot be resigned to history, nor can it be misconstrued to mean basic evangelistic testimony. Defending the faith requires Christians to understand not just the details of the Christian religion but also the way people think, the effects of sin upon reason, and the many evidences God has given to his people to bolster their belief.
