The manner of After Crucifixion may be imagined as a moment in which in some unpretentious underground venue, the deep, resonant percussions of subwoofers roll as a carnal wave across the chest and throat before they become the bass line in a conscious musical thought. After Crucifixion has been written for the ears, the chest, the throat, no less than for focused, deliberate, disciplined thought. But it is written, in particular, for bodies befriended by the mystery of life and death

This is Volume 2 on the general subject of salvation. Volume 1 covered mostly some essays related to salvation by grace. The preface for that volume introduces the subject as follows:When I was sorting out all the smaller writings I have produced over the decades, I was a bit surprised at how many of them fall under the subject of salvation. When measured by volume, there is almost twice as much material on this subject as on any of the other subjects. This means that there will be two volumes under the title, God’s Amazing Salvation.I guess I should not have been surprised at all, since ...

When is the rapture of the church and will christians go through the tribulation? Paul told us to eagerly await the rapture. In other words, we are to look forward to it and anticipate the rapture with enthusiasm. We are told in the scriptures that the rapture is imminent, that we will not suffer God’s wrath as Jesus promised himself, and that the rapture could happen any day now. The rapture is a fascinating subject, and there has always been a debate about whether the rapture is before the 7-year tribulation, during it or at the end. Here’s what you’ll learn in this book with study ...

I bring forth the sacred doctrines, perennial teachings, and ancient wisdom within this book as I will follow the original line of consciousness and how it has spread throughout this known universe.

Jeden Tag endlos lange To-do-Listen. Das hektische Tempo des modernen Lebens. Der stetige Kampf, als Unternehmen am Markt relevant zu bleiben. Die sehr reale Bedrohung von Superbazillen und Terroranschlägen in unserem Alltag... Es ist unschwer zu erkennen, weshalb heutzutage so viele Menschen unter Stress, Sorgen und Angstattacken leiden. Leider sind das keine harmlosen Gefühlszustände - sie können sich schleichend zu chronischen Depressionen und psychosomatischen Erkrankungen entwickeln.

Jesus quoted Hosea in saying, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." The prophet Samuel similarly told King Saul, "To obey is better than sacrifice. In fact, an attentive read through the Old Testament will show that there are a lot of things better than sacrifice. What was the role of Old Testament sacrifices? How does that affect our understanding of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross? Pavao forces us to look at verses we gloss over because they contradict our understanding of the purpose of the Jewish sacrificial system. Have you ever considered that God once said: I didn’t speak to your ...

This short 19th-century book explores the evolution of the belief in the Devil, including historical, cultural, and religious influences. Who is this character Satan? Is he an adversary of man working on behalf of the Divine? Is he the archenemy of God, a hideous personification of the worst evil? Does the Devil truly exist, or is this a convenient way to rid humans of personal responsibility for their own evil inclinations? Revisiting the witch burnings in the Middle Ages—justified by alleged allegiance to a dark lord—the author questions the efficacy of such a belief.

Obadiah is a prophecy of judgment on Edom - descendants of Esau who bore a grudge against Judah, the descendants of Jacob. The Edomites viewed all the wealth and prosperity of Judah as rightfully theirs. This centuries-old envy caused them to seek every opportunity to do harm to God’s people. St. Augustine saw in Obadiah an early example of the City of Man opposing the City of God. R. J. Rushdoony brings the conflict even closer, condemning the “spiritual Edomites” of our day who believe evildoers have the power to frustrate the progress of the Kingdom of God.

“Ron Highfield has made a significant contribution to the present-day discussion of LGBTQ+ claims by a tight focus on the work of Karen Keen. Highfield’s The Choice is a careful and erudite analysis of Keen’s work that uncovers a species of argument being offered from many quarters. First, he lays bare Keen’s postmodern substitution of feeling and rhetoric for Scripture and sound reasoning. “From the postmodern perspective,” he notes, “autobiography is argument.” In such a case, Scripture can be displaced by personal desire. Second, he skillfully explains the implications of...

"The Spirit of Christmas" is a collection of Henry Van Dyke's thoughts on the subject. "Power corrupts itself, and might cannot save. The Earth is full of ignorant strife, and for this evil there is no cure but by the giving of greater knowledge. It is because men do not understand evil that they yield themselves to its power. Wickedness is folly in action, and injustice is the error of the blind. It is because men are ignorant that they destroy one another, and at last themselves. If there were more light in the world there would be no sorrow."
