What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C. Sproul walks readers through the foundations of the Reformed doctrine and explains how the Reformed belief is centered on God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ. Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.

How did the Apostle Paul view the Church? And where does Israel fit in? How are the promises to Israel fulfilled? In Heirs of Promise, P. Chase Sears discusses this relationship between the Church and Israel, and he explains how that affects our understanding of the Old Testament. Using a biblical-theological approach to the book of Romans, Sears argues that Paul understood the church not as a replacement of Israel, but as the new Israel—the continuation of Israel reconstituted in Christ. And Jesus, as the Son of God, is the true Israel who fulfills all of God's purposes for Israel and creation. Sears shows how the Old Testament promises to Israel are being fulfilled in the Church.

God created all people. Within the total of humanity God has a group of people that He considers His own, His chosen people. These chosen few were given a name that defines who they are, and what makes them separate from all other people. That name of course is 'Israel'. "Israel" means 'one who struggles with God'. It's one who wrestles with God's Divine authority, i.e., His commands, laws and promises. And after the internal struggle is over, they surrender their own wills to submit to YHVH's Divine will. The problem is, we are all born with a selfish nature, that is, we are by nature self-centered, self-absorbed and we elevate self to top priority in our lives and we desire to be self-ruled and put self first- we don't want anyone telling us what to do. We by nature don't want to submit to anyone else's authority. However, YHVH God calls on us to humble ourselves and submit to His Divine authority. And our internal struggle must happen in order to do that, we must crucify 'self', i.e., self-love, selfishness, self-centeredness, etc. And that is what Jesus called us to do, in order to be one of God's chosen people; Matthew 16:24, "Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." And Luke adds the word 'Daily'. And when we are able to do that we are true children of Abraham and partake in a covenant relationship with YHVH God, by fulfilling the stipulations of the Covenant, becoming Israel and receiving the promise of eternal life. In this book I will examine the Scriptures to see what it alone says about who is the true Israel. I will draw on many of scriptures from the New and Old Testaments which tell us how we can be true Israel. By the time you are done with this book, the answer you are seeking will be obvious.

Many studies have portrayed Judaism in Antiquity as sectarian, with a variety of groups all claiming to be The True Israel. Early Christianity is alleged to have begun in this context as one more Jewish sect claiming such authority. However, the second-century Christian Justin Martyr is the first person known to have used the phrase 'the True Israel'. This book examines the uses of the names 'Jew', 'Hebrew' and 'Israel' in the surviving literature - especially the Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls, Philo, Josephus, New Testament and Mishnah - to determine whether this is an adequate or accurate picture. It discusses the associations of each word, as determined by their actual usage and collocations rather than their theoretical origins. It will be of value to scholars of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. This publication has also been published in paperback, please click here for details.

In this much-anticipated textbook, three respected biblical scholars have written a history of ancient Israel that takes the biblical text seriously as an historical document. While also considering nonbiblical sources and being attentive to what disciplines like archaeology, anthropology, and sociology suggest about the past, the authors do so within the context and paradigm of the Old Testament canon, which is held as the primary document for reconstructing Israel's history. In Part One, the authors set the volume in context and review past and current scholarly debate about learning Israel's history, negating arguments against using the Bible as the central source. In Part Two, they seek to retell the history itself with an eye to all the factors explored in Part One.

Grounded in the Word of God and the events of history, JanEgil Gulbrandsen’s latest books, Who Jesus Is and Jesus Is Israel, challenge the traditional Evangelical and dispensationalist understanding of eschatology and the person of Jesus Christ Himself. After years of personal Bible study, reflection, and prayer, Mr. Gulbrandsen realized that an objective reading of the Word of God demands an acknowledgement of Christ as Saviour and judge of Israel, and of the significance of the events in Jerusalem between 65 and 70 AD. When these events are placed in the context of Christ’s purpose and words in the Gospels and the book of Revelation, only one conclusion can be reached. Well organized and clearly written, JanEgil Gulbrandsen’s latest work will provide many “a-ha” moments to clergy and laity alike. It is a book to be approached with an open mind and an open Bible.

Revisiting the important topic of covenant fulfillment, Reformed theologian David Holwerda argues that God's promises to Old Testament Israel cannot be understood apart from Jesus Christ. Holwerda maintains that the Old Testament promises of God find their complete fulfillment in Jesus Christ and the church.
