Torn by conflict, and marred by schism, the congregation to which John addressed his letters stood in need of his strong appeals to love and unity within the bounds of truth. His word to the church then has a message for the church today, confronted as it is by controversies within and without, which challenge its ability and will to stand for truth in a pluralistic society. This careful study of 1-3 John provides an introductory discussion of the occasion and purpose of the letters, their authorship, date, order and theological themes. View More...
The origins issue is pervasive in the media. It is affecting the way people perceive Christianity: a major factor supporting unbelief. The argument is that Christians do need to take this issue seriously. The prime focus is theistic evolution: Did God create using the evolutionary process? What does biblically-based science look like? What does it mean to develop a Christian worldview? [Publisher] View More...

280ppA well organised presentation of the views of Archibald Alexander, first lecturer of Princeton Seminary, on the ministry and preaching.

Sin, regeneration, justification by Christ's righteousness, the cross, and the love of God, assurance of salvation - these are the truths that once thrilled churches and changed nations. Yet, where evangelicalism continues to affirm these truths, without such results, it is often assumed that she must have needs that cannot be met without something new.

While the Bible not history is the textbook in these pages, Murray draws on the best authors of the old evangelicalism to confirm what a glorious message the gospel is. View More...
Right now, Truth is under attack, and much is at stake. Christians are caught in the crossfire of alternative Christian histories, emerging faulty texts, and a cultural push to eliminate absolute Truth altogether.
