This refor...

El Dr. Wille...

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain behind until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep, because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain behind, will be caught up in the clouds together with the...

Probing the Past is the fifth volume in the series Academic Introductions for Beginners which has so far addressed Philosophy, Politics, Theology, and Psychology. The present volume probes into a series of fundamental questions regarding the formative unfolding of the creation order.

WHAT THEN IS THEOLOGY? Throughout the life-time of the Body of Christ, Christians have typically identified theology, a theoretical enterprise, with the everyday non-theoretical language of the Bible.

The Gospel is Power to Serve. On trial for his life, Jesus said to Pontius Pilate: "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above" (John 19:11). These words of Jesus tell the Christian a great deal about the nature of the nation state and its relationship to the Kingdom of God, as Willem J. Ouweneel skillfully explains.What is the Kingdom? "The kingdom is not a matter of talk (idle words) but of power" (1 Cor. 4:20). A...

SEARCHING THE SOUL is the fourth volume by Willem J. Ouweneel that provides introductory insight into a significant area of Christian life. Clearly the healthy functioning of our emotional life is profoundly important for each of us, as well as for those with whom we come into daily contact. When we experience a physical problem, a broken leg, for example, we quickly rush off to a medical doctor to have the problem "fixed." Until recently the ...

This book wishes to tell the story of Eden, from the beginning-even before Genesis 2!-until the very end of the new heavens and the new earth. It will be a sad story with a happy ending. It is a drama, but not a tragedy, because tragedies always end in a tragical way. It is not a comedy, either, because en route there will be little reason to laugh, except in this sense:Heaven-throned God breaks out laughing. At first he's amused at their [i.e...

Since the nineteenth century, many Christian theologians have been converted to the theory of evolution-a theory whose scientific tenability they are not qualified to assess, but which they are unlikely to give up. The majority ofrecent books by Christian academics on this subject have all but surrendered the entire field of origins to an evolutionary "molecule-to-man" view of reality.Those who believe in human evolution, and yet wish to maint...

Discover and participate in the rich tradition of one of the earliest and most influentia...

The 'Two Kingdoms' controversy has become a matter of increasing scholarly debate in recent decades. However, this is one debate which is not confined to the academy. As Willem J. Ouweneel demonstrates in The World is Christ's, behind the scholarly terms lie very practical, everyday questions, such as where to shop, whether and how to vote, and how to educate our children. The Two Kingdoms controversy is at root a question of how we ought to u...
