In this book, veteran Pepperdine University professor of theology Ron Highfield makes the case for the truth of Christianity and defends it from attack. But so do many other books. Why do we need another? Because there are also plenty of books that deny Christianity’s truth, attack it in new ways and from almost every conceivable angle! Hence the work of Christian evidences and apologetics is never done. Christian truth does not change, but contemporary culture and thought change almost daily. To communicate effectively with our contemporaries we must listen to them, come to understand ...

It has been said the Roman Empire was used by God in the spread of the Gospel; the well maintained roads, safe passage by sea, relative peace and order. Yet, the influence of Roman power in the land of Christianity’s origin was largely the work of one man – not a Roman, not a Jew yet a friend of the Romans and king of the Jews: Herod the Great.

Verily, let this composition address the multitude if inquiries thou mayest possess concerning the Son of the Almighty, who art known as Yeshua Ha-Mashiach. His tale commenceth with a humble birth in the town of Bethlehem, a virgin name Miryam being chosen as vessel for the miraculous conception, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Yeshua, also called in Greek, Jesus came forth as the promised Messiah, spoken of the prophets of old, foretold by divine revelation. With compassion and love, Yeshua healed the sick, restored sight to the blind, cast out demons, and raised the dead. Through ...

Even among Christians there is a difference of opinion about the end of the world. All seem to agree there is a spiritual component to end times, but well-loved preacher D. L. Moody provides a sermon on how he interprets the biblical texts on the subject - and why he believes this is God's blessed hope.

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...

Through his own writings and inspiration of Aristotle and countless others, Plato continues to influence every area of philosophic thought, to say nothing of his enormous influence on Christian theology. His dramatic dialogues, including Republic, the monumental treatise on the ideal state, render him one of the greatest of Greek literary geniuses. In this concise analysis, eminent Plato scholar A. E. Taylor examines the philosopher's theory of knowledge and doctrine of ideas; the ideal of the philosopher-king; the social system advocated in Republic; judgments on democracy; and belief in the immortality of the soul. Also considered: Plato's relationship with his master, Socrates; contribution to the idea of university education; attack on art; abstention from public life; anticipation of Copernicus. Taylor also mentions historical misunderstandings of the one he deems the most original and influential of all philosophers.

In much of the history of Christianity, Christian women have been disqualified from church leadership and relegated to ministerial silence. Few New Testament passages are often thrown to the forefront to justify this relegation. A Biblical Defense of Women in Christian Ministry and Leadership holds a different view. It contends that, according to the Scriptures, men and women are equally called to participate in Christian ministry and leadership whatever their nature. One of the central advocacies of the book is that patriarchal translations and interpretation of the Scriptures, not the ...

Christianity and Judaism are two separate religions with two separate approaches to life. Nevertheless, these two religions have often operated in similar spheres, and Christians and Jews have interacted over the centuries. Tragically, even in more modern times, this interaction often culminated in Christian assaults on Jewish communities and forced conversions to Christianity. But this Christian anti-Judaism did not always exist. Originally, Christianity shared its history with Judaism. The first Christians were all Jews. The first Christians used the Jewish Scriptures as their sacred text...
