Five church scholars, from varying denominational backgrounds, discuss five, basic, common beliefs about spiritual election that have developed throughout history with the goal of determining which is most scripturally sound.
Classical Calvinist, Modified Calvinist, Classical Armenian, and Open Theist views are evenly and productively discussed in Perspectives on the Doctrine of God.
Sixteen respected men and women of God apply the biblical view of manhood and womanhood in areas that concern pastors-from the personal to the practical.
Christians throughout history have been strengthened by their confidence that God knows everything about the future. However, open theism claims to offer a more biblical and a more practical alternative to traditional views of God s sovereignty and involvement in our lives. Bruce Ware carefully summarises and critiques this redefinition of the nature of God. He provides an excellent treatment of both classical and open theism, explores their implications and pinpoints the subtle ways in which open theism undermines our trust in God and lessens his glory.
Liberal attacks on the doctrine of the divinity of Christ have led evangelicals to rightly affirm the centrality of Jesus's divine nature for his person and work. At times, however, this defense of orthodoxy has led some to neglect Christ's full humanity. To counteract this oversight, theologian Bruce Ware takes readers back to the biblical text, where we meet a profoundly human Jesus who struggled with many of the same difficulties and limitations we face today. Like us, he grew in faith and wisdom, tested by every temptation common to man. And like us, he too received power for godliness through the Holy Spirit, and thus serves not only as the divine Lord to be worshiped, but also the supreme Human to be followed.
Bruce Ware provides an approachable examination of the doctrine of the Trinity. He discusses the relationship and roles of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and the practical implications of the Trinity for our lives.
This exploration of the historical-Scriptural model of the doctrine of God and His relationship with us also presents a careful refutation of the open theism stance.
Open theism boldly rewrites the nature of divine providence, God's sovereignty, and his involvement in our lives. This book summarizes and critiques this doctrine and the subtle but dangerous ways in which it steals glory from God.
These two volumes constitute a definitive scholarly defense of the doctrines of grace.
