Romans chapter 9 has become a dividing point between competing theologies for years. Calvinistic authors ground much of their interpretation of the Bible and understanding of God's nature and character from this particular chapter. Christians that are unaware of the theological traps they can fall into by blindly following Calvin's theological determinism can result in a distorted view of God's nature and character. The consequence of this is surely problematic when applying a predetermined view of God to the rest of the Bible that the Scriptures simply will not support. This has at times resulted in confusion among God's people through an inconsistent approach to the Bible, as attempts to harmonize the biblical themes cannot be accomplished through the lens of theological determinism. Rediscovering Romans 9 provides a sound and systematic approach to Bible study - Romans 9 in particular. The book challenges the Calvinistic interpretation of Romans 9, informs the reader of Calvinistic theology and answers nagging questions surrounding this wonderful and glorious chapter of Paul's epistle. Some history of Calvinism, a look into context, an examination of sound hermeneutics, and fundamental principles of logical thinking are all combined to bring the reader to a place where Romans 9 can be approached without deterministic bias. Romans 9 is a theological chapter that deserves the attention provided in this book. If you are investigating Calvinism and considering that theological direction, this book can be a tremendous help. If you are convinced Calvinistic determinism is how to approach the Bible, this book will test the soundness of your theology and challenge your position. Either way, the church needs a sound biblical view of Romans 9, since it reveals much of God's nature and character. All this can all be achieved by Rediscovering Romans 9.
How do we know who God is and what He wants from us? Many things are said about God, but what does God say about Himself? Does the Bible give us these answers? How should we approach the Bible in the first place? Why does God have different rules and consequences in the Old Testament than He does in the New Testament? What are the conditions for having a relationship with God throughout human history? Do they change? What are the conditions today? These and many more questions are answered in this book. God of Covenants covers a wide range of issues related to God, the Bible, and His people. The various covenants in the Bible are put into historical and covenantal perspective for the reader. The chronology of the Bible is seen through the lens of what the Bible itself teaches. This book will connect dots for both the experienced and the beginning reader of Scripture that are crucial to comprehending the Bible in the context it is written. This book reduces years of study into a simple to understand presentation, laying the foundation for more rewarding personal Bible study.
The author shares a narrative of growing up in the bustling '50s and '60 for the benefit of his grandsons. Highlighting his youthful activities and schooling in a robust Oklahoma oil town, he is unexpectedly thrust into a more sophisticated New York environment and the north shore of Long Island. Walking to and from school from kindergarten through sixth grade, the advent of family television, shooting off fireworks on Fourth of July, bicycle excursions for miles outside of town without any parental supervision are activities unknown to today's youth. We spend three years, not just one in dancing school and experience a student tour of Europe upon high school graduation. All of these independent activities lead to the breaking away moment when the author pursues his own plan for his future and not the plan and path his parents had in mind.
A stunning volume that gathers the California designer s most impressive works to date, from coastal sanctuaries to modern country farms.
