Showing titles in Christology

Written by a global team of leading Majority World scholars led by Michael S. Horton and Elizabeth W. Mburu, Prophet, Priest, and King approaches, explores, and articulates the topic of Christology and the Gospel, not only as central and essential tenets of the Christian faith but crucially as the global catholic church. Though there are many global treatments of Christology that focus on contextual expression, and many more written from a Western perspective, Prophet, Priest, and King highlights a unified and singular testimony drawn from a variety of voices from the worldwide church.

In his first major work since The Universal Christ, one of our most prominent spiritual voices offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for the world today, grounded in the timeless words of the Hebrew prophets. How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel over such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, showing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us an important path forward today.

Each of us is the owner of a random collection of theologies, doctrines, and superstitions. It's a junk drawer of religious ideas and influences. It's the witticisms your grandmother tossed around with ease that sounded like they came from a religious text. It's an insight gleaned about God from a half-heard sermon at a friend's church. It's the mental screenshot of a meme shared on social media. It's the empowering idea you underlined in a book and wrote on a Post-it Note now forever affixed to your laptop.

Since the earliest days of Christianity, there have been continual doctrinal battles concerning the faith. As time passed, theologians presented new theories and “revelations” concerning God and His word. Because of this, many are unsure of what to believe and of what is the proper way to approach God in religion and relationship. In this book, we will reflect on the correlation between religion, relationship, and righteousness in Christianity. Book 3 of 3.

Water baptism is a foundational practice in the Christian faith, deeply rooted in the teachings of the New Testament and the tradition of the early Church.

John's emphasis on the spirit of Antichrist reflects the spiritual and doctrinal battles that the early church was facing. The Christian community was surrounded by various teachings and philosophies, some of which directly contradicted the apostolic message. These false teachings often came from within the community, from individuals who claimed to be believers but whose teachings deviated from the truth. John sees these influences not just as misunderstandings or errors but as the manifestation of a deeper, more sinister force—the spirit of Antichrist.

An examination of the power and authority which come from the Cross, and the Blood of Jesus Christ.

The Bible teaches that every spirit which isn't from God denies that Jesus has come in the flesh, and is an antichrist spirit. The word “Christ” means “anointed one.” Antichrist spirits work against the anointing. All orthodox Christians acknowledge that Jesus came as a man, with a human body. However, it's easy to mentally acknowledge a truth but deny its implications. We can say something is true, yet actually think and act as if it isn't. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. If what we believe isn't producing power, we should consider how well we really understand the ...

The Abrahamic Covenant is one of the most foundational elements in the biblical narrative, forming the bedrock upon which the entire redemptive plan of God is built.

Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant and its completion in Christ is crucial for grasping the continuity and unity of the Bible, as well as the overarching story of God’s ...

“Lying thus in the presence of Jesus on the cross, I seemed to die to every earthly thing. At the same time, I committed to Jesus my all, my body, my sicknesses/health, I fully turned over to Jesus to trust Him in through life and through death.” - Harrold Armstrong Baker –Who is this Jesus? He is the Alpha and the Omega; He is the visible manifestation of the invisible God, the Father. Jesus is the first and the last; and He is the Almighty. The "Savior” Jesus Christ is God.

The sufficiency of grace as it relates to eternal security is a profound and central theme in Christian theology. Grace, defined as the unmerited favor of God, is pivotal for understanding the concept of eternal security—the belief that once a person is truly saved, they remain saved forever. This doctrine is deeply rooted in the New Testament and is supported by numerous scriptural passages that highlight the unchanging and steadfast nature of God's grace. To begin with, the doctrine of eternal security is often encapsulated in the phrase "once saved, always saved." This doctrine asserts...

In the fall of 1975, international evangelist, pastor and author, Dr. Joseph Kostelnik, experienced a dramatic encounter with the Heavenly Father during a...
