World Theology

The headlines are clear: Religion is on the decline in America as many people leave behind traditional religious practices. In this follow-up to her critically acclaimed book Christianity After Religion, Diana Butler Bass argues that what appears to be a decline actually signals a major transformation in how people understand God.

In the ultimate apologetic, John MacArthur presents a case for Christianity that serves as a logical explanation as much as a solid defense.

Both inside and outside the church, people are asking the same question: Is this the end of the world? With a global pandemic that has killed millions; nations spending millions of dollars to update their nuclear weapons arsenals; and an increase in fire, floods, plagues, and other natural disasters, Christians and non-Christians alike are concluding that history appears to be drawing to a close.

Schonfield's famous book now available for Kindle!

The Passover Plot is probably one of the most controversial books on the role of Jesus the Messiah. Yet to say that, might detract from its scholarly attention to detail and its furnishing of new insights into the character of the Man who changed the world so radically. Thus it is a 'must read' for who are ...

N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven “signposts”, indicators inherent to humanity. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being "broken" and unattainable. Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

As you might already know, I despise this new “form of godliness” that is so prevalent in modern churches. I find it cheap, weak, and ridiculous. One of the main reasons I feel so strongly about this is because I have been able to compare it to the “old paths” of Christian history. These modern charlatans do not deserve to be spoken of in the same conversation as those mentioned in this book series. We chose these sermons based upon the significance of the message, and it’s impact upon church history. All of these men, to varying degrees, have played a role in God’s plan in this...

This audiobook combines a serious examination of the state of today's church and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of grace found in the confessional truths of the Reformation. Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort of success - big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches - these are not good days for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish so-called "believers" from their non-Christian neighbors - all because the gospel of grace has been neglected.

It would be logical for one to think that those who call themselves Christians would have a biblical worldview, but that is not the case. Statistics show that only 9% of those who identify as Christians think biblically about the issues of the world. That means that 91% of Christians have a secular or unbiblical worldview, which proves that they've been taken captive by the world's philosophies instead of taking them captive “according to Christ” (Col. 2:8). Worldview Matters covers six major worldviews from 30,000 feet, giving Christians a big picture view of the world today. Along the...

The Devil, Satan, Lucifer, Mephistopheles - throughout history the Prince of Darkness, the Western world's most powerful symbol of evil, has taken many names and shapes. Jeffrey Burton Russell here chronicles the remarkable story of the Devil from antiquity to the present. While recounting how past generations have personified evil, he deepens our understanding of the ways in which people have dealt with the enduring problem of radical evil.
