The dialogue between science and theology has grown to mammoth proportions over the past decade. These two disciplines search continually to discover their common ground. Each discipline is anxious to warrant its own truth claims concerning the nature of reality and the nature of God. In order to be fruitful, such dialogue, argue the authors of this collection, should focus on one subject. In this volume, 16 scientists and theologians contend that eschatology provides a common concern for both theology and the sciences. Eschatology, they claim, will "help clarify and cultivate the differences between truth claims in both fields." Moreover, a focus on eschatology offers an opportunity to examine the reasons people can be hopeful and optimistic even in the face of physical death and the finitude of the universe. Included in this provocative collection are essays on "eschatology and the natural sciences," "eschatology in cultural sciences and ethics," "eschatology in the biblical tradition," and "eschatology and theology." John Polkinghorne is the president of Queens' College, Cambridge and the author of Reason and Reality (Trinity) and Serious Talk: Science and Religion in Dialogue (Trinity). Michael Welker teaches at the University of Heidelberg. Contributors to the volume include William R. Stoeger, S.J., Steward Observatory, The University of Arizona; Detlef Linke, Bonn University; Fraser Watts, Queens' College, Cambridge; Larry Bouchard, University of Virginia; William Schweiker, University of Chicago; Janet Soskice, Jesus College, Cambridge; Christoph Schwöbel, Heidelberg; Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary; Patrick D.

Looking into the face of our alleged ape ancestor, popular Christian apologist Hank Hanegraaff dissects and debunks the astonishingly weak arguments for the evolutionary theory, revealing it as nothing more than a "fairy tale for grown-ups." The author uses his own Memory Dynamics to make it easy for Christians to speak intelligently about evolution and speak persuasively about the Creator.

Chapman explains that the five languages of love are:

- Words of affirmation
- Quality Time
- Receiving Gifts
- Acts of Service
- Physical Touch

Because a fundamental fact of life is that people—usually partners in a relationship—speak different love languages, understanding what a spouse or partner needs to fulfill them emotionally is crucial to staying together.

The church is capitulating to a business organizational ethos and to entanglements with cultural and political movements. By surrendering its grasp of the biblical evangel it has left the people without clear directives for life and belief.

What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart? This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He s not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep rooted, life altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to make it , the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self hating person or a self loving person, but a self forgetful person. This freedom can be yours...

"Society has virtually lost touch with the Creator's design for human sexuality. The book of Genesis-the biblical book of beginnings-supplies the kind of healthy understanding of sex needed today. One of the fullest treatments of the subject of sex found anywhere, Genesis describes over twenty varieties of sexual relationships. Old testament scholar O. Palmer Robertson draws from Genesis vital information on romance, the love-triangle, singleness, divorce, unrequited love, adultery, rape, and other matters related to human sexuality" -- BACK COVER.

Drawing on thirty years of research, Bruce introduces his commentary with discussions of the Gospel's authorship, its significance for the early church, and its message. While based on solid biblical scholarship, this volume is especially suitable for general Christian readers interested in serious Biblical study"--

Discipleship, says veteran missionary Rose Dowsett, cannot be divorced from mission. We have been born into a worldwide family and given both global privileges and responsibilities. The Great Commission must be the central element of the Christian life. This book is divided into three major sections, beginning with a look at the Great Commission itself and then tracing how the Commission has been enacted over the centuries since Jesus issued it to His followers. The book concludes with an examination of the many challenges facing modern missions including political, theological, social, and economic.

Henry Drummond was a Scottish evangelical writer and lecturer. This volume contains, in addition to the address "Love: The Greatest Thing in the World", a number of other addresses which will bring help and blessing to many. In the words of D.L. Moody, "I was staying with a party of friends in a country house during my visit to England in 1884. On Sunday evening as we sat around the fire, they asked me to read and expound some portion of Scripture. Being tired after the services of the day, I told them to ask Henry Drummond, who was one of the party. After some urging he drew a small Testament from his hip pocket, opened it at the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, and began to speak on the subject of Love. It seemed to me that I had never heard anything so beautiful, and I determined not to rest until I brought Henry Drummond to Northfield to deliver that address. Since then I have requested the principals of my schools to have it read before the students every year. The one great need in our Christian life is love, more love to God and to each other. Would that we could all move into that Love chapter, and live there."
