“The authors make vivid the two-way street of our communion with God and God’s being with us. Their book is full of things that we today need urgently to take to heart.”
J. I. Packer, Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College

It’s a quickly changing world out there. A world enamored with anything new. But all that “progress” comes with a price: we now live in a relativistic culture that appears to be missing an anchor. All authority is questioned. Truth has been thrown out with traditional views. And nothing seems sure. Especially not matters of faith.

Not even for Christians.

So how do we find our spiritual moorings? In environments that seek to undermine faith at every turn, how do we solidify our thinking so that our faith will not waver? By holding fast to the “things that cannot be shaken” (Heb. 12:27), say authors Scott Oliphint and Rod Mays.

For every challenge you’re likely to face in the dorm, the classroom, even the workplace . . .

• Is Christianity true?
• Can faith really help in my struggle against sin?
• What does God have to do with my relationships?
• How can I know what’s real?

Things That Cannot Be Shaken equips you to respond biblically, with certainty and confidence. It will also challenge you to set aside those sins that cling so closely and to let what cannot be shaken become the defining characteristic of your walk with Christ.

This volume, which is Siegfried Schatzmann’s translation of Lehrbuch der Patrologie, offers English-speaking readers easy access to Hubertus R.Drobner’s traditional introduction to early Christian thought.

Hubertus R.Drobner brings patristics scholarship up-to-date in this traditional introduction.His work is sufficiently broad to be a useful summary of early Christian history and the expansive strokes of doctrinal debate and development and provides a clear presentation of early Christian thought.

Drobner introduces new materials throughout this recently updated edition of his handbook. A general map and several timetables add to the clarity of the volume.

The Fathers of the Church is valuable in its presentation of contemporary studies and views.

Patristics students will benefit from this dependable overview of early Christian texts, and scholars and libraries will appreciate the extensive bibliography, indecies, and other resources.

In this unique volume, noted feminist and womanist scholars committed to the Reformed tradition have joined together to reflect on the meaning of its key theological concepts, including Scripture and tradition, the imago Dei, creation, providence, election, and grace. Though highlighting the value found in the Reformed tradition, their essays press on toward new formulations and understandings of the traditional Christian doctrines.
