From the Back Cover This revised and updated introduction offers a global survey of understandings of God in Scripture, Christian history, and contemporary theology. The second edition incorporates developments in theological research over the past decade.Praise for the First Edition"[A] fascinating historical and global overview of theology."--International Bulletin of Mission Research"This astonishingly wide-ranging and well-informed book will serve as an introduction to the doctrine of God for scholars of all kinds and for many generations of students. The story of the numerous theologians and thinkers within the long, rich, and varied Christian tradition is freshly told with great insight and intelligence. I warmly recommend this book for its thoroughness, scope, clarity, and fairness."--William K. Kay, University of Chester"I know of no better introduction to the essential elements of the contemporary discussion of the doctrine of God than this. The author surveys the biblical and historical materials, recounts recent European and North American responses to classical theism, and then draws African, Asian, and Latin American theologians into the conversation. An impressive accomplishment, this text is very useful to teachers and scholars alike."--D. Lyle Dabney, Marquette University"Kärkkäinen has produced a trilogy that will become a prophetic call for a new theological paradigm. In completing this series, he has created a work that will serve the global Christian world for the new century. He has rendered a particular service to the churches in the South and the East by challenging them to ponder their theological richness and by showing them how they can make unique theological contributions to shape healthy, global Christianity that is familiar and friendly to their varying sociocultural contexts."--Wonsuk Ma, Oral Roberts University About the Author Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen (DrTheol, University of Helsinki) is professor of systematic theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and docent of ecumenics at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

by Msw Henry (Author) Sherry Lewis Henry, PhD, MSW, is a licensed clinician who has worked in private practice, social service agencies, and group therapy settings, specializing in PTSD, in both civilian and military settings in CA, TX, HI, and Japan. Her chosen modality is Transactional Analysis, which offers a simple route by which clients can better understand themselves and others.Using a dry erase board, 'man' is shown in the PAC chart, comprised of three separate capacities from which s/he thinks, speaks, and acts.Dr. Henry recently expanded the T.A. concept to correspond with Biblical scripture, quoting God's words in Genesis 1:26: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."Then man-of-three-capacities is depicted alongside the similar view of God the Holy Trinity. The obvious juxtaposition is astounding to Christians and non-Christians alike.For therapy purposes, this visual comparison permits clients to view themselves and all others as having the freedom to choose from whichever of the three capacities they will think, speak and make decisions, in all their various circumstances.This awareness and freedom to choose is extremely beneficial for clients in their everyday decisions and relationships, irrespective of circumstances. The ultimate benefit pertains to decisions regarding Eternity.Every person alive is making decisions toward his/her Eternal destination, but not every person is conscious of that. TRINITY Therapy activates one's general consciousness and the awareness of the freedom we all retain to 'choose this day whom you will serve.'John 3:16 in essence: Truth Liberates, Understanding Transforms, Love HealsOther titles by Sherry Lewis Henry, PhD, MSW: Alcoholocaust, Is It Still Murder?, Trauma & Survivor Syndrome, and Blatant Murder, Denied Justice, & the Town's Demise.

We'll continue exploring the gospels to learn what he taught and why it was controversial. Why did Jesus speak in parables? Why didn't he write part of the Bible or travel the world? What was he like as a person? I have TWO printables for you in this part!
I’ve always been curious about this passage, about how Jacob—now known as Israel—wrestled with God. I simply couldn’t understand what it meant.

Book Synopsis All Christians and sinners should understand that the whole plan is complete. They should understand that the whole of Christ - His character, His work, His atoning death, and His ever-living intercession - belongs to each and every person and simply needs to be accepted. There is a full ocean of it. There it is. You can just as well take it as not. You are invited and urged to drink, and to drink abundantly! This ocean supplies all your need. As the Scriptures say, He is of God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30). What do you need? Wisdom? Here it is. Righteousness? Here it is. Sanctification? Here you have it. It is all in Christ. Can you possibly think of anything needful for your salvation, moral purity, or your usefulness that is not here in Christ? Nothing. All is provided here. But salvation, to be real and available, must be salvation from sin. A religion that does not break the power of sin is a lie. If it does not drive out selfishness and lust, and if it does not bring about love to God and man, joy, peace, and the fruit of the Spirit, it is false and worthless. It can be of no use. That which does not bring about in us the spirit of heaven and make us godly, no matter where it comes from, or by what deception it is defended, is a lie, and if it is fled to as a refuge, it is a refuge of lies. If it does not produce a heavenly mind, expel a worldly mind, and detach us from the love of the world, it is a lie. If it does not produce in us the love required in the Scriptures, genuine love and worship of God and also love for His people - if it does not produce all those states of mind that fit the soul for heaven, then it completely fails of its purpose.* * * *Few preachers in any age have surpassed Charles Finney in clear and well-defined views of conscience and of man's moral convictions. Not many have distinguished the true from the false more closely or have been more skillful in putting their points clearly and prudently. Therefore, these sermons under God were full of spiritual power.
