J. I. Packer’s Knowing God has become a classic of the Christian faith.
Why? While it gives us information about God with clarity and grace, it does much more—it aids us in actually knowing him, in building our relationship with him, and helps draw us closer to him in love and worship. This 20th anniversary edition of Packer’s classic has new Americanized text, reader-friendly type, and a new preface. Study guide not included.
In A Community Called Atonement, McKnight discusses the value of the church’s atonement metaphors, asserting that the theory of atonement fundamentally shapes the life of the Christian and of the church. This book, the first volume in the Living Theology series, contends that while Christ calls humanity into community that reflects God’s love, that community then has the responsibility to offer God’s love to others through such missional practices of justice and fellowship.
Why should the cross–an object of Roman distaste and Jewish disgust–be the emblem of our worship and the axiom of our faith? And what does it mean for us today? The Cross of Christ is a comprehensive study of Scripture, tradition and the modern world in which John R. W. Stott brings you face to face with the centrality of the cross in God’s plan of redemption.
Fifteen years after its original publication comes a thoroughly revised edition of the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology. Every article from the original edition has been revisited. With some articles being removed, others revised, and many new articles added, the result is a completely new dictionary covering systematic, historical, and philosophical theology as well as theological ethics.
Christian Theology has been revised to take account of changes in the theological world as well as changes in the intellectual, political, economic, and social worlds. Several sections have been added, including a new chapter on postmodernism. At other points the discussion has been updated, and some portions of the original have been condensed, since the issues they originally dealt with are no longer as crucial as they once were. Also new to the second edition are a number of educational refinements, including chapter objectives, chapter summaries, and study questions
