Outline : Our culture is obsessed with identity. Rather than being a new challenge to the Christian faith, however, the identity issue is a very old one; it is fundamentally one of idolatry.

But we must have the courage to tackle the idolatries of our age…

LaPine argues that Protestants must retrieve theological psychology in order to properly understand the emotional life of the human pe…
Outline : Modern theology claimed it ignited a renaissance in Trinitarian Theology. Really, it has been a renaissance in social trinitarianism.

Conte…

The Calvinist theologian Robert L. Reymond is representative of most Calvinists when he says that the Arminian theory of atonement is the governmental theory. He remarks that the governmental theory “denies that Christ’s death was intended to pay the penalty for sin” and claims that its “germinal teachings are in Arminius.”1 This opinion, however, is not unique to Calvinists. The Wesl…

A holistic, eye-opening history of one of the most significant turning points in Christianity, The Reformation as Renewal demonstrates that the Reformation was at its core a renewal of evangelical catholicity.
