Robert Louis Rayburn is author of two prior verse by verse commentaries : EPHESIANS: The Epistle Of The Third Heaven and REVELATION: Rapture, Retribution & Rhapsody. It was through the influence of his father, the late Pastor Russell S. Rayburn, that Mr. Rayburn accepted Christ as Saviour. His father’s Christian life and knowledge of the Scriptures also influenced the author to develop a love for the Word of God. Mr. Rayburn is now retired from two professions: Resource Development Manager in the transportation business; also as a Marketing Consultant with an Executive Placement Firm. He loves to share his testimony verse, which is Job 23:12, “I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.”

'The Eternal Godhead: Exploring the Trinity, Creation, and Divine Will' delves into the profound mysteries of the Christian faith, offering a comprehensive exploration of the nature of God, the concept of the Trinity, and the divine act of creation. Peter Martyr Vermigli masterfully navigates through theological discourse, beginning with an examination of the divine nature and attributes of God, emphasizing the incomprehensible essence of God that can be partially understood through His actions and titles, such as Jehovah, a name signifying the self-existing, eternal nature of God. Vermigli elaborates on the significance of understanding God's attributes-mercy, justice, omnipotence, and holiness-through the lens of the Holy Scriptures. He provides a thorough analysis of the Tetragrammaton and its profound implications for understanding God's eternal presence and sovereignty. The book further explores the divine will and God's interaction with His creation, illustrating how the biblical narratives of deliverance and providence reveal God's nature and intentions for humanity. In his exploration of the Trinity, Vermigli addresses the complex relationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, clarifying the distinct persons within the Godhead while maintaining their unity in essence. He skillfully defends the divinity of Christ and the Holy Spirit against contemporary theological challenges, drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures to affirm their coequal status with the Father. The work also delves into the mystery of creation, offering insights into the act of bringing the universe into existence ex nihilo (out of nothing) and the special creation of angels. Vermigli discusses the roles and natures of angels, their interaction with the physical world, and their service in the divine plan. 'The Eternal Godhead: Exploring the Trinity, Creation, and Divine Will' stands as a testament to Vermigli's profound scholarship and his commitment to orthodox Christian doctrine. Through meticulous argumentation and a deep reverence for scriptural authority, he invites readers into a deeper understanding of the nature of God, the mystery of the Trinity, and the marvels of creation. This work is an invaluable resource for theologians, scholars, and anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge of Christian theology and the inexhaustible richness of the Godhead. Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499-1562) was a significant figure in the Reformation, known for his contributions to Protestant theology and his role in the development of the Reformed tradition. Born in Florence, Italy, Vermigli entered the Augustinian order in his early youth and received a thorough education in philosophy and theology, which laid the groundwork for his later work. Vermigli was deeply influenced by the writings of Martin Luther and other Reformers, which led to a gradual shift in his theological views towards Protestantism. This shift resulted in his leaving Italy for safer, more receptive environments in Northern Europe, where he could freely express and develop his Reformed theological perspectives. Throughout his career, Vermigli held several important positions. He served as a professor of theology in Strasbourg, where he became a friend and colleague of Martin Bucer, another prominent Reformer. Later, he moved to England, where he was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford during the reign of Edward VI. Vermigli played a key role in the English Reformation, influencing the development of the Book of Common Prayer and the Thirty-Nine Articles, foundational texts for the Church of England.

This remarkable work offers an analytical exploration of the nature of divine eternity and God's relationship to time.

In this study, we will explore foundational truths concerning the Godhead; that is the divine nature. We know that the nature of God eternally exists in three Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. However, at the core of the Godhead is the relationship between the Father and the Son. In this study, we will look exclusively at the relationship and correlation between the Father and Son. It is our hope this information will give a foundation to the doctrine of the Trinity.

The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

Carefully crafted, precisely written, and fully documented, this doctrinal resource assembles an abundance of meaningful new scriptural patterns. Have any questions about the nature of the Godhead? Look no further! The Godhead: New Scriptural Insights on the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost will not only answer your questions, but it will also intrigue you with insights you may not have pondered before: Christian beliefs about God; attributes and physical natures of Godhead members; individual insights on God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, and God the Father; and the ultimate objectives of divinity. New doctrines? No - they've been in the scriptures for centuries. But profound new insights? By the hundreds! The Godhead shows, historically and scripturally, how allegorical-interpretation methodologies of "trinity" advocates altered the major doctrines of Christianity, causing them to discount the many literal biblical statements concerning the nature of God. Other major contributions of The Godhead include its numerous insights on premortal events, its compilation of hundreds of scriptures showing the physical nature of God, and its in-depth scriptural demonstration that Jesus is Jehovah. More key insights treat the essential attributes of Godhead members, their "spirit" nature, their "threeness" and "oneness" relationships, the varied "fatherhood" roles of Jesus Christ, the nature of glory, Christ's roles among the Gods, and how mankind can attain Godhood. Author Duane S. Crowther is widely known for his indepth doctrinal studies on many topics, including his books Prophecy - Key To the Future, Life Everlasting, and Prophets and Prophecies of the Old Testament.
