Justification by Faith: What It Means for Us Today

Alister E. McGrath

Christianity is a historical religion that has its foundation in what God has done - and still does - in history. But to what extent can the Christian claim that God has acted in specific ways and at specific rimes in history be verified? Is it legitimate to approach history with theistic presuppositions? Is the claim that Christianity is based on historical events anything more than merely a reading of religious assumptions into the historical data? Dr. Brown grapples with these and related questions in this revision and expansion of a study that first appeared in History, Criticism And Faith. Avoiding simplistic arguments and answers, he shows that it is indeed legitimate to affirm, and possible to validate, the historical basis of Christianity, including the miracles recorded in the Gospels. This "personal exploration" will benefit anyone struggling with the questions raised by the interaction of Christianity and the discipline of history.

History & Faith: A Personal Exploration

Brown, Colin

The six Papers in this Volume do not form a connected series but they do have this in common: they all assume Scripture to be the touchstone of truth. It is demonstrated that Scripture is able to stimulate one's thinking enormously, especially when the mind is informed by the data of current research. It is also demonstrated how consistent Scripture is, both with itself and with the assured findings of research. Furthermore, it is shown how one Spirit has clearly directed an supervised and inspired the writing of Scripture throughout.

Time and Eternity : and Other Biblical Studies (Volume VI of The Doorway Papers)

Arthur C. Custance

A practical biblical method to stop a sinful thought from becoming a sinful actionWe are constantly bombarded with opportunities for sinful thinking. Our minds are battlefields where godly thinking is relentlessly attacked by believable lies and deceptive fantasies. The voice of Satan and the voice of the sinful self try to overwhelm the pure voice of God.But there is hope--even for those who have repeatedly fallen into the cycle of sinful thinking. Using biblical models, historical figures, and real-life case studies, Taming Your Private Thoughts provides a biblically based process for getting the thought life under Christ’s control and avoiding the consequences of sin.This is not just a book about positive thinking or denying the presence of sinful thoughts, nor does it offer quick fixes or easy formulas.The book includes: * Honest examination of the problem of wrong thinking for men and women, young and old * Straight-forward case studies that demonstrate the consequences of sinful thinking * Biblical solutions for breaking vicious thought cycles and finding peace of mind * Discussion and reflection questions * An appendix of Scripture

Taming Your Private Thoughts

Research demonstrates that teaching abstinence works! In survey after survey, students say that abstinence is what they want to learn. Self-control, self-respect, delayed gratification, planning for the future, and building healthy friendships are values that are essential for every aspect of successful living—not just in delay of sexual activity. “My daughter had one choice. Either she was going down the aisle a virgin, or she was going down the aisle in a coffin,” says the author in pure hyperbole. Her point is this: Kids need clear sexual boundaries. The media, the classroom, and other voices send conflicting messages to our teenagers. Society teaches youth how to say no to drugs and alcohol, but not to sex. Parents, pastors, teachers, and youth workers must speak the same message: Sexual activity outside of marriage is unacceptable! Author La Verne Tolbert brings a down-to-earth approach to teaching children and teens the importance of sexual purity. Using stories from everyday life, research examples, and Bible-based principles, she helps adults understand the why of the abstinence message and how to communicate that message effectively at home, how to monitor the message at school, and how to reinforce the message in our churches and in our communities. Keeping Your Kids Sexually Pure gives those who care about kids the power to lay a firm foundation of sexual purity. With the sometimes fatal consequences of non-marital sex gripping our world today, here is a message whose time has come.
