DOWNLOAD EBOOKCome Now, Let Us Argue It Out provides a look into a community that challenges common narratives about what it means to be LGBTQ and Christian in the contemporary United States. Based on his participant-observation fieldwork with a faith-based organization called the Reformation Project, Jon Burrow-Branine provides an ethnography of how some LGBTQ and LGBTQ-supportive Christians negotiate identity and difference and work to create change in evangelicalism. Come Now, Let Us Argue It Out tells the story of how this activism can be understood as a community of counter-conduct. Drawing on a concept proposed by the philosopher and historian Michel Foucault, Burrow-Branine documents everyday moments of agency and resistance that have the potential to form new politics, ethics, and ways of being as individuals in this community navigate the exclusionary politics of mainstream evangelical institutions, culture, and theology. More broadly, Burrow-Branine considers the community's ongoing conversation about what it means to be LGBTQ and a Christian, grappling with the politics of inclusion and representation in LGBTQ evangelical activism itself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo possess “the light of life,” one must put faith in Jesus Christ and become his follower. On social media every day, millions of Christians are saying such things as “I am a Calvinist,” “I am an Arminian.” “I am a Lutheran,” “I am a Wesleyan,” and so on. They then debate and argue theology as though it is a blood sport. This author is not an Arminian, Calvinist, Wesleyan, Lutheran, Baptist, follower, disciple, or learner of any other denomination; Andrews is non-denominational. THE BIBLE'S ANSWER: EPHESIANS 1:4: Are Some Chosen (Predestined) to Eternal Salvation, and Others to Eternal Condemnation?

TRUE CHRISTIANS—Are Not followers of Men Are some chosen (predestined) to eternal salvation and others to eternal condemnation? Andrews will have entire chapters dealing with this important issue and inform the reader from the Calvinist and Arminian perspectives. In the end, he will answer the following questions. Is Total Depravity Biblical? Is Unconditional Election Biblical? Is Limited Atonement Biblical? Is Irresistible Grace Biblical? Is Perseverance of the Saints Biblical?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPostconservative theology may be said to parallel with "postliberal theology" at its best. Orthodox, biblical, but open to new insights about how to interpret Scripture. But the new insights must be faithful as well as fresh. Postconservative theology is not the same as "progressive theology," which tends to lean toward indeterminant faith expressions, whereas "postconservative" allows for particular faith commitments and expressions but understands that the constructive task of theology is never finished. Authors emphasize various interpretive theological lenses used for doing theology among various postconservative theologians, rather than emphasizing the philosophical background to hermeneutical theory present in other works, such as past influential thinkers (including Gadamer, Grondin, Ricoeur, Heidegger, etc.). This resource could also function as a companion to Evangelical Theological Method: Five Views (2018). This emphasis of the chapters will not be on the nuts and bolts of "how to" interpret, but rather on the theological impulses that govern various lenses (Bible, cultural context, etc.) for doing theology and the way Scripture functions with respect to the practice of interpretation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBuilding on previous holistic readings of the Book of Isaiah, this collection approaches Isaiah through the concept of unity. Contributors outline research that point to new directions in the unity movement and, in the process, bring it under a critical gaze, considering the perennial challenges to unity reading and thus problematizing the very concept of unity. Divided into four parts, the book provides methodological reflections on reading Isaiah as a unity, and examines historical and redactional readings, literary readings and contextual or reader-orientated readings. Topics include how the figure of Jacob functions as a unifying motif in the final form of the book, Isaiah 1 as an example of the relevance of local structure for global coherence and how woman as a root metaphor of Zion not only bears revelatory significance but also serves as a theological linchpin for a more holistic reading of the book. Overall, the book highlights the continued promise of holistic readings for diverse methods and varied approaches to the Book of Isaiah.
