The 11th volume of the Theological Threads series, The Function of Law in Romans, explores what the apostle Paul meant when he uses "law" in his epistle to the church in Rome. Many polemics have accused Paul of having an inconsistent or self-contradictory message about the Jewish law. However, this treatise researches his preference to explain by moving from problem to solution, the use of 'the age of flesh' and 'the age of the Spirit', and how they resolve the so-called problems with Paul's theology.

What should be the primary emphasis of a theological education? How should the student of theology approach such a transcendent topic? William Swan Plumer answers both questions with eloquence and wisdom in the two inaugural addresses contained in this book: Christ All in All, his 1854 inaugural address at Western theological seminary in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and The Right Temper for a Theologian, his 1867 inaugural address at Columbia theological seminary in Columbia, South Carolina.

For many years, Michael Phillips assumed he clearly understood the life of Jesus. Though Jesus was in truth his Savior, and even his Lord, Phillips felt challenged to understand more of the remarkable life lived 2,000 years ago in Palestine. Then came a crisis in his spiritual pilgrimage. Challenged to discover the New Testament imperative for his life, Phillips takes a fresh look at the Bible to find out what is the essence, the foundation, of spirituality. He discovers a key that gives validity to an entire life's purpose as a Christian. And that key to Jesus' life was obedience.

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. It is a covenant that God made with Abraham, the patriarch of Israel, which not only shaped the history and identity of the Jewish people but also laid the groundwork for the coming of Jesus Christ, through whom the covenant finds its ultimate fulfillment. 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 ...

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.

Wheaton College scholar Nicholas Perrin takes on Ehrman and others who claim that the text of the New Testament has been corrupted beyond recognition. Perrin gives us a layman's guide to textual criticism so that listeners can understand the subtleties of Ehrman's critiques, and provides firm evidence to suggest that the New Testament can be trusted.

A sermon by Charles Spurgeon, in which he claims that Christ died out of sheer pity for the ungodly.

This is an improvisational book written by an improvisor about the improvisational nature of Jesus, reality, and an improvisational creation. Say that three times fast. This book is an amalgam of memoir, theology, and improv. Tanner is vulnerable, brutally honest, and a little silly as he conjures a portrait of an improvisational reality. Everything is the same, but exactly different (and it always will be) and this book considers how improv and Jesus provoke us towards eternal affirmations of difference.

Anyone interested in religious matters should take the time to examine the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Christianity makes a remarkable claim: that Jesus was the unique son of God who came into the world to save humanity. If this is true, it is of immense importance. But is it true? That is what we examine in this study of the life, ministry, and person of Jesus of Nazareth.

Learning My Name is the harrowing chronicle of a fearful prodigal putting family relationships on the line as he learns to trust the love of both his dad and his heavenly Father for the sake of putting neurotic, addictive thinking to rest.

Five years after his brilliantly successful, Pulitzer Prize-winning book about God as portrayed in the Old Testament, Jack Miles gives us his striking consideration of Christ. He presents Christ as a hero of literature based only in part on the historical Jesus, asking us to take the idea of Christ as God Incarnate not as a dogma of religion but as the premise of a work of art, the New Testament.

Can anyone in our high-tech world truly understand someone who lived two thousand years ago? Can we get through twenty centuries of tradition to the real person who started it all? Andreas Köstenberger shows that the Gospels, the four earliest records about Jesus, do just that. These writings, named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, alongside key facts about the ancient world, bring Jesus's life, his words, and his legacy into focus. Introducing Jesus gets to the heart of what was—and is—important about Jesus.

Christianity is not a religion, but God's good news for the world. This implies that it has both a divine origin and a human relevance: it comes from God and it speaks to our condition. So, before we ask, 'What is the gospel?', we need to ask, 'What is a human being?' Radical indeed is the discipleship which takes all of this and Christ's lordship seriously. It's nothing short of a life-changing message.
