... Read more
Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics is, arguably, the most important theological publication of the 20th Century. Reacting against a prevailing Enlightenment project (German Idealism), Barth sought to articulate an expression of Christian belief that nevertheless took seriously, and yet overcame the critique of Christian doctrine brought forth by 19th Century Protestant Liberalism, and the unsatisfactory re-construal of Christianity by rationalism's close relative, Natural Theology.Most believe he succeeded wildly, and in doing so re-established Theology's ability to speak positively and confidently about faith, reason, and God in Jesus Christ.Since its publication in the United States the Dogmatics has remained relatively inaccessible to pastors, students, and even many professors due to its cost. Hendrickson Publishers, with its publication of the 14-volume set of the Church Dogmatics, has overcome this obstacle. Hendrickson is reproducing the original 14-volume set edited by T.F. Torrance and G.W. Bromiley first published more than forty years ago by T&T Clark. The Hendrickson edition will contain the entire 14-volume set and all its contents, or the entire Church Dogmatics as it was originally published by T&T Clark. This set is ideal for pastors, students, and scholars who have wanted to read Barth, but have been heretofore limited by the cost of such an endeavor. It is also an excellent opportunity for those who have had little exposure to Barth to become more familiar with a theologian who is increasingly influencing our understanding of the Trinity, Christology, Creation, Ecclesiology, the Christian life, ethics, biblical interpretation, and Christian interaction with culture and politics. In short, it is must reading for all students of theology and Scripture no matter their background or theological perspective. As Calvin's Institutes was the most influential theological masterpiece of the Reformation, there is little doubt that Barth's Dogmatics(if it has not done so already) will emerge to a similar status in relation to its own cultural and historical context. Note: As many of you know a 31vol. study edition of Barth's Dogmatics is now available. It is important to note that Hendrickson edition is not the same as the study edition. Moreover, the Hendrickson edition does not include translations of Greek, Latin, and other languages found sporadically throughout the Dogmatics.

... Read more
Codex Sinaiticus is the oldest known complete manuscript featuring the full canon of the Christian Bible in Greek. It was originally produced in the middle of the 4th Century (app. 350A.D) in the south-eastern Mediterranean. Originally Codex Sinaiticus was produced on parchment whose total number exceeded 730 leaves, or approximately 1,460 pages. It contains the oldest complete New Testament, and at one time contained the entire Old Testament. Sections of Genesis and other areas of the Pentateuch were damaged or lost over the centuries. Nevertheless, the vast majority of the OT text remains, and is now preserved in this facsimile edition. The importance of the 4th Century to Christian history cannot be understated, and Codex Sinaiticus is our greatest witness to that era, especially in understanding how Christians had begun to understand their canonical Scriptures. Hendrickson Publishers, in conjunction with the British Library, is now releasing a limited number of full color facsimiles of the entire Codex Sinaiticus. This edition includes both the Old and New Testaments, represented by life size pages (13.5 x 16.5). Totaling 828 pages, the facsimile edition comes in hardback binding accompanied by a sturdy slip case that is designed to provide support the weight of the facsimiles pages (app. 25lbs) and prevent them from tearing away from the back binding, as is common with many large hardback books. Finally the Codex Sinaiticus facsimile edition comes with a 32 page booklet that provides a brief outline of the history, discovery and immense value of this rare piece of history.

... Read more
In Latin, Omnibus means all encompassing. The Omnibus Curriculum from Veritas Press is designed to help enlighten, train, and develop young minds through the study of everything important, long-lasting, and true: the ideas, arguments and expression of the Western Canon as expressed in the Great Books. Omnibus III: Reformation to the Present is the third in a series of six books that repeat a three year cycle of Ancient, Medieval, and Modern history; the first three are at the logic stage, and the latter three at the Rhetoric stage. Omnibus 3 is recommended for grades 7 & up; if students are progressing in order starting with Omnibus I in 7th grade, this book will cover 9th grade. The three books in the series may be used in any order for children at that level. Each volume features lists of both Primary and Secondary books. Primary books are the traditional Great Books, while the Secondary books provide balance in the areas of Theology, History and Literature, such as Frankenstein and Pride and Prejudice. Primary Books to read include: The Westminster Confession of Faith, Pilgrim's Progress, A Tale of Two Cities, the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers; Slave Narratives; the Communist Manifesto, 1984, the books of Philemon, John, Daniel, and more. Secondary Books include: Foxe's Book of Martyrs, Gulliver's Travels, The Pit and the Pendulum, the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Little Women, Animal farm, Death of a Salesman, and more. Each chapter covers a Great Book, examining the author, context, significance, main characters, summary and setting, worldview, and providing an in-depth essay analyzing and teaching the important points of the work. Chapters conclude with five sessions that provide questions to consider, optional activities, reading assignments, cultural analysis, biblical analysis, application, summa questions, recitation comprehension questions, lateral thinking, review questions, and evaluation questions. The included Teacher's Guide CD-ROM duplicates the student text and inserts answers to all questions, provides grading tools, midterms and finals, session-by-session lesson plans, and more. Covering literature, history, and theology from a solidly Reformed perspective, editors Douglas Wilson and G. Tyler Fischer weave their understanding of God's providence and sovereignty throughout history. Emphasizing the importance of understanding presuppositionalism, evaluating worldview, and having a Christo-centric understanding of the world, the authors clearly set out the goal of their work: We do not learn logic and rhetoric simply to become more competent than our peers. We do it to take dominion in the name of Jesus Christ. 617 pages, indexed, with timeline, hardcover. Grades 7-9.

The three books in the series may be used in any order for children at that level. Each volume features lists of both Primary and Secondary books.

... Read more
This 12-volume set is comprised Feasting on the Word, Years A-CEach Year (A, B, C) has four volumes one for each of the following Cycles:The Advent & Christmas Season (1 Vol.)Lent through Eastertide (1 Vol.)Ordinary Time, Part 1 (1 Vol.)Ordinary Time, Part 2 (1 Vol.)About the Feasting on the Word seriesPurposeThe purpose of the Feasting on the Word series is to provide pastors with multiple entry points of entry into the weekly lectionary by providing an exegetical, theological, homiletical, and pastoral essay on each of the four weekly passages assigned by the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The RCL, of course, encourage preachers to select one of the four weekly passages to speak on and the essays, in sum, provide 16 different entry points into the weekly lection. Objective, Scope, and FormatThe Feasting on the Word series aids clergy in developing and preparing sermons in throughout the year in conjunction with the RCL. Each lectionary year consists of four volumes, one for the Advent and Christmas season, one for Lent and Easter, and one for each half of Ordinary Time. While the twelve volumes of the series follow the pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary, each volume contains an index of biblical passages so that non-lectionary preachers may make use of its contents. The commentaries provide four essays for each of the assigned RCL passages, and through those essays highlight issues in exegesis, theology, homiletics, and pastoral care as they apply to and are derived from the text. The essays are concise and listed on four columns on facing pages for each RCL passage and extend in continued columns on to necessary additional pages. The biblical passage is listed above the essays on the first page. See Visual Representation More information is available at www.feastingontheword.netHistoryThe Feasting on the Word series (now complete) is relatively young by commentary standards, first appearing in 2008. Since the release of its first-volume it has met with wide acclaim from practitioners in both non-liturgical and liturgical settings and has helped thousands of pastors wrestle with the major issues introduced by the text. It will prove to be a valuable aid with unmatched insight for the next generation of clergy.

The Mishnah is the written form of the Jewish Oral Law, as preserved by the Rabbis of the first few centuries after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in the first century. It is the sum of four centuries of Jewish religious activity in Palestine. Much of its contents reflect the Jewish religious tradition current at the time of Christ and the early Christian Church. Up until the printing of this volume, the Mishnah was not available for the layman to study as a whole, nor were previous editions economically viable.It is of interest to persons studying early Judaism and the relationship of the oral traditions to Christ and the New Testament writings. The historical value of The Mishnah is comparable to the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, and the Works of Josephus. It is as important to the development of Judaism as the New Testament is to the development of Christianity. This edition by Danby is the classic English translation of the Mishnah (originally written in Aramaic), and has been the standard for over 50 years for scholars and other interested readers.

... Read more
Faith takes you by the hand and walks you from one level of spiritual maturity to another. That is why the Word of God says, Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). But what is faith? Where does it come from, and how does it work? What does it accomplish? Why does it please God?In this book, Pastor Chuck Smith explores these questions and a host of others as they relate to the issue of faith. Using examples from God's Word as well as illustrations gleaned from over sixty years in the ministry, Pastor Chuck lays a strong case for faith:. Faith gives you victory. Faith comforts in the midst of fear. Faith makes heavy burdens light. Faith helps the soul to wait even when God delays. Faith sees God's help is greater than any force that can come against youIt was faith that led Abraham into the land of promise. It was faith that led the children of Israel through the Red Sea. And it was faith that enabled Peter to step out of the boat and walk on water.

Everywhere women face choices - home or career, money or relationships, 'secure' marriage or 'free' singleness, using your looks to get on or ignoring your looks and getting ignored, competing with the boys or retreating into the sisterhood ghetto, the 'progress' of feminism or the 'nostalgia' of motherhood and apple-pie, women bishops or tea-ladies and baby-sitters?Our culture has plenty to say on all these issues.

Jesus told his followers, You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses...to the ends of the earth. The book of Acts records the fulfillment of his promise and command: The Holy Spirit worked through the lives of believers to bring growth to the church, to break down barriers to the Gospel and to take the message of Christ to the very heart of the Roman Empire.Luke, the author of Acts, wrote from a combination of careful research and practical experience. Pentecostal scholar Stanley M. Horton brings a similar combination of research and experience to this study of Luke's inspired record. In this Logion commentary, Horton takes an in-depth at the story of the early church--a story still being written in the lives of believers today. Horton writes, The acts of the risen Lord...continue today wherever God's people gather in one accord with an earnest desire to search His word, seek his gifts, and do his work.

You've trained for months. Three workouts a day. Wind sprints. Long distance. Weight training. Your speed and endurance are the best they'll ever be. You're at your peak, about to run the race of your life. And everything you've worked so hard for comes down to a few seconds on a track. The gun fires, and you fly faster than ever before. Your heart pounds. You sense that you're breaking records with each step. But at the final turn, the unthinkable happens. Right as you're extending the baton to the next runner, it somehow falls to the ground. You watch in slow motion as it hits the track, bouncing away from you. Up to that moment, everything had been perfect. But dropping the baton cost your team the race. And for the rest of your life, you wonder why you didn't practice the transition. While not all of us run relays, all of us do have to make transitions. But batons drop everyday in churches, businesses, and organizations. Sooner or later, you will face a transition. Will you be ready? If not, you may endure the agony of a failed transition. The good news is that you don't have to. Not only can you avoid dropping the baton, you can even strengthen your organization by preparing for upcoming transitions.

Examining their interpretation of evidence for the earth being 6,000 years old, dinosaurs, and more, this DVD study will show the presumed direct link between evolution and atheism.

Heretics is the companion volume to the previously published Orthodoxy in Hendrickson's Christian Classics series. In Heretics G. K. Chesterton unmasks the heresies of contemporary thinking by exposing the faulty thinking of popular notions, especially apparent in the arts. An often overlooked book that contains some of Chesterton's strongest writing, the author takes on the heresies of modern thought, such as negativism, relativism, neo-paganism, puritanism, aestheticism, and individualism. The book includes one of his best essays: On Certain Modern Writers and the Institution of Family.This 1905 collection of articles focuses on the era's heretics: those who pride themselves on their superiority to conservative views. Chesterton's companion volume to Orthodoxy asseses such artists and writers as Kipling, Shaw, Wells, and Whistler with the author's characteristic wisdom and good humor.G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a prolific and gifted writer in virtually every area of literature. During his life he published 69 books and at least another ten have been published after his death. Many of those books are still in print. Chesterton was one of the spiritual influences on C. S. Lewis.

... Read more
1200 years ago, during the Age of Chaos, life as people knew it was nearly annihilated by hatred, ambition, zealotry and war. From the aftermath of near destruction rose a message of hope through the establishment of a new order-one which elevated knowledge and control above the volatility of emotion and expression. No more would the world suffer the effects of malice, greed or passion. Strong, mitigating emotion exists only in historical memory...After happening upon an ancient journal through strange circumstance, Rom's world is shattered. He learns that humanity long ago ceased to live, that it exists today in a living death. In a terrible risk, Rom exposes himself to the vial of blood folded into the old leather of the journal. His change is fearful and fraught with mind-bending emotion. A once-pious observer of the Order's passionless statues, he is filled with uncontrollable impulses. He is filled with love.He is undone, terrified, and alone in the dead world.Rom quickly learns of a child-heir of a ruling house with the power to reverse the Order's death. However, the child's house is second in line. The apparatus of power rests with woman named Feyn, and with that, Rom's task becomes clear: he must kill Feyn so that the second-in-line may assume power. To do so will bring love and passion back into existence, but at the risk of threatening the security of the world with the revolution and anarchy that nearly destroyed it over a millennia ago.

... Read more
When Jesus made himself nothing ... taking the nature of a servant, He modeled for all believers true humility. Murray calls this our true nobility and the distinguishing feature of discipleship. In twelve brief but powerful chapters, Murray journeys through Scripture and Christ's life, underscoring the utmost need for humility---as opposed to pride---in the Christian's life. With insightful, penetrating clarity, Murray calls all Christians to turn from pride, empty themselves, and study the character of Christ to be filled with His grace. Often called the best work on humility ever written, this edition has been sensitively revised into modern English, includes a biography on Murray as well as photographs, and a full color timeline of selected Christian and historical events and people on the inside covers.
