Every basic revelation in the Bible has two aspects: the objective aspect and the subjective aspect. Both aspects are needed for the building up of the Body of Christ, which fulfills God’s eternal purpose. Seeing the truths in the Scriptures only in the objective aspect is not sufficient. For many centuries God’s enemy, Satan, has worked in a subtle way to blind God’s people from seeing the truth in its subjective aspect. This is because he realizes that once the believers enter into the subjective aspect of the truth, the Body of Christ will be produced and God’s purpose will be fulfilled. “I am burdened to show all the Lord’s children…the solid revelation concerning the subjective truths in the Bible so that whenever they hear any speaking that opposes the genuine subjective experiences in life and encourages them to care only for doctrine, they will have a solid foundation on which to stand against such speaking.”

The Bible unveils many divine truths concerning our outward, objective relationship with God, such as God as our creator and Christ as our advocate before God. Even more, however, it speaks of an inward, subjective relationship with God. It unveils Christ as our food, our drink, and our living breath, and it reveals that Christ is not only in the heavens but also within us, his many believers. In The Subjective Truths In The Holy Scriptures Witness Lee presents an overview of many subjective truths concerning God, who gave himself as food to be enjoyed by man; concerning Christ, who is our life; concerning the spirit of reality, who comes to the believers that they may enjoy God experientially; concerning the church which is his organic Body and the manifestation of God in the flesh; and concerning the Christian experience of God's divine life from regeneration to glorification.

Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

The Experience of Christ as Life for the Building up of the Church unveils that this inward operation of life also results in the building up of the church as the expression of God. In each chapter, Witness Lee presents not only a clear vision of our enjoyable Christ but also many practical ways for us to enter into the enjoyment and expression of Christ in the church.

The name Josh McDowell promises real-life, on-the-street Christian apologetics. In his first Harvest House book, Josh joins his son Sean to draw on his life’s work and comprehensively address a vital issue: why an entire generation of young Christians—and millions of older believers—is confused about what they believe, why they believe it, and how it’s relevant. The Unshakable Truth is uniquely positioned for younger Christians because it presents apologetics relationally, focusing on how Christianity’s doctrines affect relationships. The authors... ground every assertion in the overarching story of creation, incarnation, and re-creation. distill 12 crucial “faith statements”—for example, “A personal Creator God exists.” explain why each statement is trustworthy, how it applies to real life, and—using examples, stories, and experiences—what its relevance is. A spiritual gold mine for parents, youth workers, pastors—anyone wanting to reveal Christianity’s relevance to today’s life and culture.

Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.

The revelation of the Spirit in the Bible points to God's desire to be received, experienced, and enjoyed by man. The revelation of the human spirit in the Bible points to the unique means whereby man can know and experience God. God is Spirit so that man can contact and receive Him, and man has a human spirit in order to contact and contain God. Through faith in Christ, our human spirit is born of the Holy Spirit, we are joined to the Lord as one spirit, and the Spirit witnesses with our spirit that we are the children of God.

This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation.

And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
