  Systematic Theology: Creation, Christ, Salvation (Vol. 3)

  Norman R. Gulley

  Is it all really about Christ? In this sweeping and yet incisive evaluation of Christian theology, this time focusing on the doctrines of creation, Christ, and salvation, Gulley drives home his overarching theme that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb. 13:8), which impacts creation and re-creation (salvation). This focus on Christ has profound implications for our understanding of origins and our relationship to the Word of God.

  Systematic Theology: God As Trinity (Vol. 2)

  Norman R. Gulley

  Working steadfastly from the platform of sola scriptura established in his Prolegomena, Gulley takes the serious reader on a wide-ranging and insightful tour of the many facets of the Doctrine of God. Throughout this volume God is seen in an eternal relationship as a relational Trinity—His nature being love and all His attributes compatible with His nature. This God of love is found in His self-revelation in Scripture, which remedies the traditional distortions about Him. The purpose of this volume, and this system, is to magnify and glory in the universal love of God. This is the fullness of the gospel.

  The Lost Meaning of the Seventh Day

  Sigve K. Tonstad

  Sigve K. Tonstad recovers the profound and foundational understanding of God that can be experienced in the seventh day. He shows that Scripture has consistently asserted that the Sabbath of Creation is the Sabbath of the whole story of how God makes right what has gone wrong in the world. This sweeping work of biblical theology and historical analysis traces the seventh day as it is woven throughout Scripture and the history of Christianity.

  In Granite or Ingrained? What the Old and New Covenants Reveal about the Gospel, the Law, and the Sabbath

  Skip MacCarty

  Popular claims about the old and new covenants have diminished the gospel and narrowed the faith and spiritual life of millions of Christians. Those claims have introduced confusion about what it truly means to “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Christians earnest in their walk with the Lord will see a dynamic element of the gospel in the profound relationship between love and law. They will, perhaps for the first time, understand the apparent dichotomy of old and new covenants in the New Testament. And in the process they will be confronted with a powerful appeal and an unmistakable warning. Study guide available.

  Our Creator Redeemer: An Introduction to Biblical Covenant Theology

  Hans K. LaRondelle

  How do we align concerns about the place of the Ten Commandments in the public square with a message that often seems to stress that those same commandments have been nailed to the cross? Hans LaRondelle traces through salvation history the footsteps of the Creator Redeemer in progressively revealing His covenant promises and His judgments. From a “redemption-historical” perspective, based on careful exegesis, the author outlines the unity and continuity of God’s covenants with His chosen people.

  Systematic Theology: Prolegomena (Vol. 1)

  Norman R. Gulley

  “Norman Gulley’s Prolegomena is an encyclopedic introduction to systematic theology that is philosophically penetrating, historically informed, and biblically faithful. A compelling contribution to the scholarly study of the ‘queen of the sciences,’ it is particularly relevant to the challenges and opportunities presented by the postmodern world.” –Bruce Demarest, Professor of Christian Theology and Spiritual Formation, Denver Seminary, Denver, Colorado

  The Israel of God in Prophecy: Principles of Prophetic Interpretation
