Biblical Eschatology provides what is not found in any other single volume on eschatology: it analyzes all the major eschatological passages (including the Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation), issues (including the second coming of Christ, the millennium, the rapture, and Antichrist), and positions (including all the major views of the millennium) in a clear, but not superficial, way. The book concludes with a chapter showing how eschatology is relevant for our lives. Biblical Eschatology makes understanding eschatology easier by including chapters on how to interpret prophecy and apocalyptic literature, by showing the history of eschatological thought, and by placing eschatology in...
Is Christianity True? is an excellent resource for twenty-first-century Christians and non-Christians who want to investigate the truth-claims of Christianity. This book tackles the most important issues in a clear and compelling way. Part 1 looks at the trustworthiness of the Bible and at Jesus Christ, who claimed to be God incarnate. He verified his claim by his fulfillment of prophecy and his resurrection from the dead. Part 2 shows that the great alternative to Christianity—the belief that there is no God or supernatural realm and that the universe and all that exists do so simply by natural forces—not only is false but is impossible. Part 3 deals with perhaps the greatest challenge to Christianity, the “problem of evil,” i.e., if God is all knowing, all powerful, and all good, then why is there so much evil in the world? The book does not shy away from discussing up-to-date scientific knowledge and shows how this knowledge actually confirms the claims of Christianity. This book is a clear, yet challenging, explanation of the biblical, historical, philosophical, and scientific evidence which shows that, indeed, Christianity is true.

Biblical Theology: The Story of the Christ covers the overall biblical storyline and shows in detail how the entire Bible ultimately is about Christ. This book does what no other book on biblical theology does: it details Christ's pre-incarnate appearances in the Old Testament, how he appears in prophecy, and how he appears typologically. More than that, the book shows how Christ is the fulfillment of all that Old Testament Israel and its major institutions were pointing to, including the Abrahamic, Davidic, and new covenants, the nation itself, the tabernacle and temple, sacrificial system and priesthood, law, Sabbath, and feasts. Because Jesus Christ is at the heart of the biblical story, ...
By this book, I tried to find answers to the questions which don't appear directly in the Gospels. In fact, erothetics is the way of finding the question from the given answer. We have the Gospels, where the writers presented to us what Jesus did. But what if there where some questions, which were common for that time, and un-common for our time-reality? Then was the sermons, when I was astonished by the ministers which proclaimed that Jesus began story-telling, because He didn't knew what to say to the listeners. Or worse even, some ministers 'corrected' Jesus' parables, by this distorting the whole truth. This is why I alone, searched some answers, and by this, I provide You what I did found.
There is a growing recognition that God’s design is for us to read Scripture alongside the whole church in all of its cultural and linguistic diversity. Exploring the New Testament in Asia is a textbook for students and scholars of the New Testament to help the church hear and see the good news of Jesus anew. This collection of essays offers theological reflections on New Testament themes from Asian perspectives, while addressing contextual issues in light of the New Testament. Touching on topics such as salvation, holiness, poverty, ethnic tensions, reconciliation, honoring elders, persecution, and hospitality, the scholars in this book demonstrate the importance of a varied contemporary context for understanding the New Testament. The result is a theological contribution that is both contextually relevant and biblically faithful.
If you have not seen the massive differences of interpretation between the premillennial understanding of Scripture versus the amillennial, we will clearly view both positions side by side, with their supporting quotes from some of their stalwarts. We will set forth different approaches to Scripture as we study the Book of Revelation, and these are not some minor issues. So much of how one interprets Scripture ties in with those views.
