Outline : The good news from the Minor Prophets is that, even in dire times, God speaks. While the Minor Prophets are among the most succinct books of the Old Testament, their theological richness has much to offer us today. And not only did they have something to say to their original audience, but God continues to speak through their words in ways that are of utmost importance for the contin…
Outline : Apart from the doctrine of God, no doctrine is as comprehensive as that of creation. It is woven throughout the entire fabric of Christian theology. It goes to the deepest roots of reality and leaves no area of life untouched. Across the centuries, however, the doctrine of creation has often been eclipsed or threatened by various forms of gnosticism. Yet if Christians are to rise to c…

Outline : Jesus and the Manuscripts introduces readers to the diversity and complexity of the ancient literature that records the words and deeds of Jesus (or at least purports to record them).

Outline : The story of Joseph is prominent in the book of Genesis and yet is rarely mentioned in the rest of Scripture. How then do we understand Joseph's significance in redemptive history? When Christians have addressed this question, the conversation invariably turns toward typology : is Joseph a type of the Messiah? Messianic interpretations of the Joseph narrative have often lacked method…
Outline : The authors of the New Testament regularly quote and allude to Old Testament passages that point to the presence, person, and work of Jesus. Jesus himself claimed that Moses wrote about him (John 5:46). And on the road to Emmaus, Jesus instructed the disciples from "Moses and all the prophets" regarding himself (Luke 24:27). Though Christians affirm that the Old Testament bears witnes…

Outline : The third quest for the historical Jesus has reached an impasse. But a fourth quest is underway-one that draws from a heretofore largely neglected source. In Jesus the Purifier, Craig Blomberg advances the idea that the Gospel of John is a viable and valuable source for studying the historical Jesus. The data from John should be integrated with that of the Synoptics, which will yield …
Outline: "The Wind Blows Wherever It Pleases." The Lord used a familiar image to help the seeker, Nicodemus, understand a mystery - the mystery of God's Holy Spirit dwelling in His people (John 3).

Water, fire, oil, and wind - all beautiful pictures that can hel…
Outline : How much culture lurks in common conversation? According to Craig Storti, so much that many of our most common, seemingly innocent exchanges in social settings, on the job, in the world of business-are cultural minefields waiting to explode.

Written by ten distinguished scholars, Hearing …
Outline : Today's pastors -- often expected to be multitasking marvels who can make their churches "successful" -- are understandably confused about their role. Craig Barnes contends that the true calling of a pastor is to help others become fully alive in Christ, to be a "minor poet," or poet of the soul. As such, pastors are to read the major poets of Scripture and history in light of the dus…
Outline : Recent years have seen renewed interest in divine action, but much of the literature tends to focus on the science-theology discussion.

In books of this sort some introductory word is typically said concerning the notion of "coherence" and its application to theism. Following this pattern, the question I wish to raise is whether it is rational to embrace theism even in the face of unanswerable arguments for the incoherence of theism. That is to say, if as the result of our inquiry we are forced to conclude that we are unable to…
Craig's approach of positive apologetics gives careful attention to crucial questions and concerns, including: the relationship of faith and reason, the existence of God, the problems of historical knowledge and miracles, the personal claims of Christ, and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. He shows that there is good reason to think Christianity is true.
In Jesus and the Ossuaries, Craig A.

At the end of the book of Ecclesiastes, a wise father warns his son concerning the multiplication of books: “Furthermore, of these, my son, be warned. There is no end to the making of many books!” (12:12). The Targum to this biblical book characteristically expands the thought and takes it in a different, even contradictory, direction: “My son, take care to make many books of wisdom witho…
The collapse of positivism and its attendant verification principle of meaning was undoubtedly the most important philosophical event of the twentieth century. Their demise heralded a resurgence of metaphysics, along with other traditional problems of philosophy that verificationism had suppressed. Accompanying this resurgence has come something new and altogether unanticipated: a renaissance i…
The central question in the philosophy of time is whether time is tensed or tenseless, viz., whether the moments of time are objectively past, present or future, or whether they are ordered merely by the tenseless temporal relations earlier than, simultaneous with, and later than. In this book and the companion volume The Tensed Theory of Time: A Critical Examination, Craig undertakes the first…

The larger project of which this volume forms part is an attempt to craft a coherent doctrine of divine eternity and God's relationship to time. Central to this project is the integration of the concerns of theology with the concept of time in relativity theory. Unfortunately, theologians and philosophers of religion do not in general understand Einstein's theories, whereas physicists and philo…

Time and Eternity deals with difficult issues in modern physics and brings them into relation with traditional theological doctrines. Craig has done a great work, and it is marvelous that now the philosophy of religion is engaging with the philosophy of science to the great benefit of both.
These are fundamental questions that any thinking person wants answers to. These are questions that philosophy addresses. And the answers we give to these kinds of questions serve as the foundation stones for constructing any kind of worldview. Now updated and expanded in this second edition, Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview by J. P. Moreland and William Lane Craig offers a c…
