La Didachè est un petit livre qui fut écrit en langue grecque, sans doute en Syrie, vers la fin du premier siècle ou au début du deuxième siècle de notre ère.

This text has been written to show the clear parallels between the children of Israel having been delivered from Egyptian bondage during the offering of the first Passover lamb and the possibility for deliverance from sin and the penalty of sin by the offering of the Passover Lamb, who is Jesus.

It then shares the birth of Moses, a little bit about him and his life, and how the Lord had used him to bring the children of Israel out of their bondage. Starting in chapter five of this text, ...

This among Christians is a season of persecution. When, therefore, faith is greatly agitated, and the Church burning, as represented by the bush, then the Gnostics break out, then the Valentinians creep forth, then all the opponents of martyrdom bubble up, being themselves also hot to strike, penetrate, kill.

"LA HISTORIA SE REPITE PORQUE NADIE LA ESCUCHA" La influencia del posmodernismo nos ha hecho creer que el punto de tener un debate es tener un debate y luego estar de acuerdo en diferir (sentarse en una fiesta de amor de afirmación mutua). Para Trueman, el punto del debate es, como el Apóstol Pablo demuestra claramente una y otra vez en el libro de los Hechos, establecer cuál es la mejor posición. Esta colección de ensayos realiza un examen profundo del estado de la iglesia evangélica en la actualidad, y a diferencia de muchos de los debates actuales, ofrece, a la luz de las ...

This book will take you on a fascinating journey through the history of Christian thought. The journey includes surprising twists and turns as we navigate the three major views of hell in church history: (1) eternal conscious torment, (2) annihilationism (sinners will cease to exist), and (3) ultimate restoration (hell is an afterlife refinery leading all to repentance and faith in Christ). But this is much more than a tour through the underworld. This topic drives us to take a closer look at the Bible, Christian theology, and the character of God.

Puts Luther (1525), Jonathan Edwards (1754), and Old School Baptists—Absoluter wing into one frame to compare “free will,” predestination, and lapsarian order. Moves from definitions → doctrine → exegesis → pastoral use, then closes with a source-based Beebe section. Big theses Luther: After the Fall the will is in bondage; conversion is monergistic (God alone). Scripture’s revealed will guides preaching; the hidden will is adored, not dissected. Emphasis: Law/Gospel and assurance. Edwards: Compatibilism—we always choose according to the strongest present motive; sinners ...

Acts 17 is presented as Luke’s “stress-test” chapter for the gospel: Paul reasons from Scripture in Thessalonica, is vetted by Berean Scripture-testing, and then collides with pagan intellectual culture in Athens. That blend explains why the chapter repeatedly becomes a battleground for apologetics, natural theology, contextualization, repentance, judgment, and resurrection. The interpretive history is traced along recurring fault lines: whether Paul’s Creator/providence argument is “natural theology” or a prosecutorial indictment of idolatry; whether the “unknown god” altar...
