Our day is one of looking for heroes and champions. This book provides a brief account of a hero of the Reformation.  Gustavus Adolphus was born in December 1594 into Swedish royalty.

John Owen was a giant among Puritan theologians. His prolific writings require close reading. He was a scholar but he was not cut off from ministering face to face to people. He was a minister, a chaplain to Cromwell's army, and also a mentor of Oxford students. In this insightful work on Owen's thinking, Kapic stresses the fact that Owen wrote with passion to show man's need of communion with God and what this means in practice. (more)

One of the strangest encounters Christ had was his conversation with the Gentile woman who sought healing for her daughter. The event is recorded in Matthew 15:21-28 and Mark 7:24-30. Christ's response to her request "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (v. 24) leads to her response that manifested great faith rooted in her heart. Christians may wonder why Christ responded to the woman as he did.(more)

This book was published with this view in mind. The articles were originally published by Princeton Theological Seminary in the 1830's and 1840's. The authors (mainly two professors, Charles Hodge and Archibald Alexandrer) sought to address ... (more)

The topic of homosexuality continues to generate much discussion today. Basic to the discussion are presuppositions as to the morality or immorality of homosexuality. Is it genetic? Is it an illness? Can one cease to be homosexual? Dr. Satinover had practiced psychoanalysis and psychiatry for over two decades at the time he wrote this book. (more)
