Is God really good? Is he good to others? Is he good to us? And if the answer is yes, why does it often feel like he's so far away? God isn't surprised by our wariness and distrust. But he has never been content to be misunderstood, either. John's gospel tells us that God sent his Son to explain himself to us, to the distant, the wounded, the skeptical, the afflicted, the ashamed, the betrayed.

To many Christians theology is something alien, overly intellectual and wholly unappealing. Even seminary students are known to balk at the prospect of a course on theology. Yet theology-most simply, the knowledge of God-is essential to the life and health of the church. In this short introduction, Stanley Grenz and Roger Olson, two theologians who care deeply about the witness of ordinary Christians and the ministry of the church, show what theology...

Where is the Garden of Eden where the first man Adam used to live? Where is the kingdom of heaven, which is as clear and beautiful as crystal? How will the Judgment of the Great White Throne be performed? What is Heaven like where the saved believers will enter and dwell forever? The beautiful Heaven is largely divided into five kingdoms. As written in the Book of Revelation, a new sky and a new earth will appear after the Millennium Kingdom and the...

Our handling of what we call biblical law veers between controversy and neglect. On the one hand, controversy arises when Old Testament laws seem either odd beyond comprehension (not eating lobster) or positively reprehensible (executing children). On the other, neglect results when we consider the law obsolete, no longer carrying any normative power. Even those who do attempt to make use of the Old Testament "law" often find it either irrelevant,...

The first objective of this book is to remind all Christian workers of the greatness and the glory of the work in which God gives a share. As we see that it is God's own work that we have to work out, and that in our working, His glory rests on us and we glorify Him, then we shall count it our joy to live only and wholly for His work. The purpose of this book at the same time is to help those who complain, or perhaps do not even know enough to complain,...

Few Christians have a deep understanding of the Old Testament kings of Israel or the prophets and their messages. The purpose of this series is to allow anybody to quickly gain a better understanding of those things as well as an appreciation of how that information is relevant today. The Old Testament prophets were real people who proclaimed important messages from God that have stayed true for thousands of years. Jesus and the apostles thought the...

Algunos acontecimientos de la historia de la iglesia, como la reforma y el gran despertar, han sido similares a los eventos descritos en el libro de Esdras y por los profetas Hageo y Zacarías. Cuando un remanente salió de Babilonia y regresó a Jerusalén con los vasos del Señor, restauraron el altar, pusieron las bases, y reconstruyeron la casa del Señor. Sin embargo, el libro de Nehemías tiene un escenario diferente. Han pasado los años...
