A series of discourses concerning Man. I shall have to make this first one more or less abstract and theoretical, dealing with first principles, with what on the one hand may strike you as commonplace and unimportant; on the other hand, with those things that may seem to you so theoretical and far away as to be, if not difficult of comprehension, still hardly able to thrill you with any feeling of interest. And yet work like this always has to be done. Before a train of cars, lighted, decorated, fragrant with flowers, full of a happy company, with laughter and song, can rush in its speed ...

For nearly 2000 years, virtually every Christian woman wore a headcovering during worship. Today, the practice has nearly disappeared. What happened? Dale Partridge walks Christians verse by verse through 1 Corinthians 11: 2-16 to help them understand the doctrine of headcoverings and how these biblical symbols visually preserve God’s design for men and women. But more than that, he demonstrates that when these visual symbols are eliminated from the church, society's definitions of men and women are forgotten.

This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant - both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written.

"Biblical womanhood" is the idea that the Bible teaches God-ordained male leadership and female submission in the home and subordination in the church. Some say this hierarchy of authority is sufficiently evidenced by examples of male leadership (and lack of female leadership) in the Bible: the first human was male, Israel's official priests were male, most authors of Scripture were male, Jesus was male and chose twelve male Apostles. God is addressed as Father. Wives are commanded to submit to their husbands.

Sound Doctrine, Not Strange Speech: A Biblical Case Against Modern Tongues offers a bold, scripture-saturated response to one of the most controversial topics in Christianity. Through careful study of the New Testament, the author presents a compelling case that tongues were a specific, temporary gift tied to the early church—and that today’s practices often reflect confusion, not the Holy Spirit.

Most Christians already believe they should be telling others about Jesus, but traditional methods are no longer as effective in today's post-Christian world.

The defining reality of the eternal destiny of the lost, the unforgiven and unredeemed, is also the last words given in Scripture for that topic – the second death. The second death involves the separation of the unrepentant, recalcitrant sinner from God and all His blessings. In contrast, the defining reality of the saved, the forgiven and redeemed, is the eternal intimate presence and blessings of God Himself. Hell’s curse is the divine departure of God. Heaven’s blessing is the unprecedented presence of God with His people.

The reality of God’s ultimate punishment is central to the gospel. Only by facing sin’s devastation can believers fully grasp the beauty of their salvation and help unbelievers confront their need for forgiveness.

The so-called ‘New Perspective on Paul’, herein called the New Pauline Perspective (NPP), has been significantly impacting and re-shaping Christian doctrine in earnest in varied ways for nearly fifty years, yet for a much longer period of time when the historical development of its central precepts, tenets, and philosophical assumptions and presuppositions is brought into consideration. It began its particularly modern rendition with the audacious claim that Western churches, especially Protestants since the Reformation, have gotten Paul all wrong for the past 2,000 years mainly because...

The doctrine of reprobation—that is, the eternal, unconditional decree of God for the non-elect—is frequently misconstrued in both pastoral and theological literature. In Reprobation and God's Sovereignty, Peter Sammons reintroduces this oft-misunderstood doctrine, revealing its relationship to divine sovereignty. With Romans 9 as a guiding text, Sammons presents a thoroughly researched defense of reprobation as an essential part in a Reformed theology that magnifies God and encourages believers to trust in him.
