Showing titles in Christology

The Person and Place of Jesus Christ by Peter Taylor Forsyth A towering work of theology from one of the most influential Christian authors of the 20th century, The Person and Place of Jesus Christ by Peter Taylor Forsyth is a penetrating study of the central figure of the Christian faith. Originally delivered as the Congregational Union Lecture of 1909, this timeless volume remains a vital contribution to the conversation on Jesus Christ in Christian doctrine and theology. Forsyth, a brilliant theologian and former Principal of Hackney College, challenges both shallow liberalism and dry ...

This self-revelation of God as “I Am” is more than a theological concept; it sets the stage for understanding the divine nature of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Gospel of John. Throughout the book of John, Jesus declares Himself through a series of seven “I Am” statements, each of which reveals a different aspect of His divine identity and mission. These statements are not isolated claims; they are deeply connected to the self-sufficient and sovereign nature of God as first revealed to Moses. In these “I Am” declarations, Jesus not only identifies Himself with the God of ...

In our post-Christian culture, the confession “Jesus is my Lord and Savior” has become little more than a familiar slogan—often repeated, rarely understood. That realization unsettled me. If those are the two greatest titles ever given to the Son of God, what do they actually mean, and what difference should they make in a believer’s life? This four-volume Soteriology Series is my answer. In this first volume (Soteriology 101) we lay the complete foundation in ten chapters by unpacking two simple acronyms—S-A-V-I-O-R and L-O-R-D—spelling out the full identity and work of Jesus ...

In the current cultural climate, few theological concepts provoke more discomfort or resistance than the idea of God's wrath. To many, the notion of a wrathful God appears outdated, harsh, or incompatible with a modern understanding of love, tolerance, and inclusivity. Contemporary Western society, in particular, has been shaped by a dominant cultural narrative that emphasizes self-expression, therapeutic well-being, and moral relativism. Against this backdrop, the idea that God would be angry—let alone righteously angry—at human sin or rebellion seems not only archaic but morally ...

From Genesis to Revelation, the theme of the royal priesthood runs through the biblical story from the garden of Eden through the priesthood of Israel to Jesus Christ―the true and better high priest. It culminates with the creation of God’s new covenant people, called out of the nations to be his priests to the nations. In this concise treatment, David Schrock traces this theme of priesthood throughout the Bible and displays to readers how Jesus, the great high priest, informs the worship, discipleship, and evangelism of the church.

For years Pastors, Teachers, and Christians alike have steered away from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Fears, anxieties and misinterpretations have plagued the study and understanding of this awe-inspiring revelation. Countless books and study guides have been published for centuries trying to explain and simplify its complex signs and frightening images: The antichrist, The number 666, A seven Headed Beast, The Huge Red Dragon, and so on. At last, you now hold a book that takes all these complex truths and wild images and puts them into an easy to listen, understandable format.

I wrote these books, Part One and Part Two, for all those who demanded of me believable answers to their thoughtful and intelligent questions. With or without me, these people so often found themselves in the presence of the Risen Christ and subsequently had even more questions about Jesus of Nazareth. He was and is to them the man Jesus, before the transformation wrought by the resurrection. Our subsequent myths have bred confusion, making Jesus of Nazareth remote and incomprehensible and the Risen Christ an unrelated magical figure.

“Did Jesus really say that?” Oh yes—He did. And then some. Flipping tables. Calling out hypocrisy. Challenging corrupt systems and religious showmanship. This isn’t the soft-spoken, halo-glowing Jesus from Sunday School posters. This is the fully alive, fully divine, fiercely loving Jesus who wasn’t afraid to speak hard truths in holy love. In Sassy Jesus, author Heather Hair explores the bold, untamed, and beautifully disruptive moments of Jesus’ ministry with scriptural depth and a wink of wit. Each chapter zooms in on a moment when Jesus said what others were too afraid to ...

For many years, Michael Phillips assumed he clearly understood the life of Jesus. Though Jesus was in truth his Savior, and even his Lord, Phillips felt challenged to understand more of the remarkable life lived 2,000 years ago in Palestine. Then came a crisis in his spiritual pilgrimage. Challenged to discover the New Testament imperative for his life, Phillips takes a fresh look at the Bible to find out what is the essence, the foundation, of spirituality. He discovers a key that gives validity to an entire life's purpose as a Christian. And that key to Jesus' life was obedience.

The Blessed Mother has appeared under many titles and under many different names. Each of Mary’s names and titles reflect a different aspect of her role in the life of the Church and in the lives of her children. Numerous shrines throughout North America have been built to facilitate devotion to Mary under her many titles and numerous graces, and author Julie Cragon has visited many of them with her family.

Les chrétiens peuvent facilement avoir l’impression que Jésus est perpétuellement déçu et frustré par leur marche chrétienne, voire qu’il est même sur le point de les abandonner. Ils savent ce que Jésus a fait pour eux, mais ils ont souvent une connaissance superficielle de sa personne. Quels sont les sentiments qui l’animent lorsqu’il considère les péchés et les échecs de son peuple ? Dans Matthieu 11, Jésus se décrit comme étant « doux et humble de cœur », désirant ardemment que son peuple trouve le repos en lui.

To help us understand the relationship and interaction between human suffering and God's power and love, author Leslie Montgomery looks at the details of Jesus' example to show how valuable lessons can be learned through suffering.

SU COMPASIÓN ES MÁS GRANDE QUE NUESTRO PECADO "El Corazón de Cristo en el Cielo hacia los Pecadores en la Tierra" fue publicado inicialmente en 1651.

An examination of the power and authority which come from the Cross, and the Blood of Jesus Christ.

Evangelical Christians often sing and preach about the blessed blood of Christ and the wonderful things it accomplishes for believers. To the uninformed ear, such language can convey the idea that Jesus’ blood had semi-magical qualities. Actually, Jesus’ blood was normal human blood, but the Bible refers to it in metaphorical terms to portray the many benefits that come to Christians because of Jesus’ death.

Seeing Christ in Leviticus: The Gospel Before the Gospels invites readers to rediscover one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible—not as a dry manual of rituals, but as a Christ-centered revelation of redemption. For many believers, Leviticus feels distant and difficult, filled with sacrifices, feasts, and laws that seem far removed from modern Christian life. Yet the New Testament declares that these things were written as shadows of good things to come. Long before Bethlehem, Calvary, and the empty tomb, God was already preaching the gospel through pictures, patterns, and ...
