The Rev. John Wesley (1703-1791), the founder of the Methodist Church, was an enthusiastic preacher for the Lord, a prolific writer, and a prestigious Oxford scholar. For over two centuries, his treasured sermons have provided keen insight, deep analysis, and provocative applications of the great truths of the faith for minister and layperson alike. Utilizing both primary and secondary works, John Wesley's 52 Standard Sermons: An Annotated Summary presents a concise yet useful report on ea...

Sacro-Egoism: The Rise of Religious Individualism in the West discusses the relationship between secularization, participation in religious practices and belief, and the emergence of radical individualized expressions of faith in the West. Using McMinnville, Oregon, as a case study, it presents the data collected and analyzed from several churches, denominations, and spiritual settings in that unassuming town, and compares it to the results of Heelas and Woodhead's "Spiritual Revolution" p...

Inspired by John S. Knox's debut novella, The Letter of Alon (2020), Treasures in Time offers Christian fiction readers another provocative, action-packed story starring history professor William Berrit, whose life was inexorably transformed after uncovering a venerated journal written by a distant ancestor from the first century of Christianity, recounting how their faith in God led the Berrit family through numerous hardships and conflicts and helped them stay on the sacred path of peace...

Knox's Commentaries on the Bible present the books of the Bible in a systematic, yet straightforward manner. Readers are introduced to a broad investigation of the Old and New Testaments (including writings from the intertestamental period), providing the highlights of each book in the Bible as well as historical and cultural details to flesh out the stories and to provide deeper understanding. Big, small, and cross-testamental themes are investigated as are various scriptural approaches, ...

The Book of Genesis is the first book in both the Hebrew and Christian bibles—the first offering in the Pentateuch or the Torah, which is the primary textual and spiritual authority for ancient and modern Jews alike. It presents a narrative of the creation of the world and the nation of Israel. Being a diverse document, it contains a variety of traditions, genres, and potentially comes from multiple sources although it is traditionally credited to Moses. The story of Genesis is set in the ...

On October 30, 1608, Jacobus Arminius presented his Declaration of Sentiments to the Assembly of the States of Holland and West Friesland in the Binnenhof at The Hague. First, Arminius sought to defend himself and his theological views from the spirited attacks of opponents such as Gomarus, Lubbertus, and Plancius. Second, Arminius hoped to bring to light the wrongdoings of the European church and its extremist understanding of certain Christian doctrines. Having trained in Geneva under Je...

Modern Christian apologists and evangelists employ a variety of tools designed to aid communities in their understanding of God and salvation via Christ's atonement. One of the ways that defenders of the faith add to their field is in discerning the real significance of the treasures found in Christ. This work begins by dissecting the true meaning of freedom in Christ from a Judeo-Christian viewpoint. Building on that foundation, it then evaluates the sociological phenomenon of postmoderni...

Is the modern Christian church losing the battle against postmodern society and the current hate culture? Deconverted reflects research gathered from interviews with once self-professed Christians who have now walked away from the church and their previously deeply-held religious beliefs. With so much at risk in the lives of postmodern seekers, who is being misled and what apologetical truths can the church learn from this phenomenon?

For every human on earth, the clock is ticking towards their inevitable death. Whether one lives to the oldest of ages (expiring quietly) or death comes suddenly with a slip on the ice (or in any other of the myriad of ways people die), the end of biological life is the outcome for everyone. For the Christian, however, there is the expectation of continuation beyond this fleeting life on earth. Naturalists have no such optimism and can only hope that their time on earth is a pleasant one. ...

Moral disagreement is commonly regarded as a threat to objective morality in scholarly circles and in popular culture--perhaps being one of the most significant objections against Christian theistic moral theory. Some skeptics argue that as people divide about what is right and wrong--often inciting moral evil and causing human suffering--the Christian view of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God behind morality is inconsistent. Accordingly, I'm Right/You're Wrong investigates wh...

This book investigates potential neo-Darwinian fallacies, specifically regarding a priori assumptions, that may have led to weak scientific methodology and praxis. It was proposed that five concepts must be true for neo-Darwinism to be true. These are gradualism, the tree of life hypothesis, the evidence of microevolutionary change accounting for macroevolutionary change, time and chance, and methodological naturalism. Prima facie, these concepts have tremendous explanatory power. Yet, wit...

For Christians, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ are quintessential subjects as Jesus died on the cross and rose on the third day. Unfortunately, even after reading about the life of Jesus in the Bible--and all that he has done and promised to do in the coming age--many people choose to dispute the traditional story of Jesus Christ. These skeptics have embraced other heterodox theories concerning the crucifixion (such as the Swoon Theory), which warrant a response. Their in...
