Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

This book is a stand-alone paperback edition of Leon Morris's John volume in the New International Commentary on the New Testament series. Hailed by CHRISTIANITY TODAY as perhaps the best commentary on any book of the Bible by an evangelical in recent decades when it was first published in 1971, Morris's GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN continues to be one of the standard evangelical commentaries on John's Gospel.

I Am helps women end the barrage of negative self-talk and replace it with an empowering new narrative. You'll exchange lies for truth, insecurity for a rock-solid identity, and break free from the distorted messages that have held you hostage for too long. From the moment a woman wakes until she falls, exhausted, on her pillow, one question plagues her at every turn: Am I enough? The pressure to do more, be more has never been more intense. Online marketing. Self-help books. Movies, magazines, and gym memberships. Even church attendance and social media streams have become a means of comparing ourselves to impossible standards. Am I pretty enough? Hip enough? Spiritual enough? We fear the answer is "No." When a brutal bout with cancer changed how she looked, talked, and lived, Michele Cushatt embarked on a soul-deep journey to rediscover herself. The typical self-esteem strategies and positivity plans weren't enough. Instead, she needed a new foundation, one that wouldn't prove flimsy when faced with the onslaught of day-to-day life. With raw personal stories, profound biblical teaching, and radical truths on which to rebuild your life, I Am will help you: Refuse to ride the rollercoaster of others' opinions and start believing what God says about you. Stop agonizing over past regrets and failures and make peace with God's sovereign plan for your life. Leave insecurity behind as you exchange temporary fixes for an identity established on God's unchanging affection. I Am reminds us that our value isn't found in our talents, achievements, relationships, or appearance. It is instead found in a God who chose us, sent us, and promised to be with us--forever.

Dearly beloved believer, are you bound by the fear of death, not certain you'll be accepted by God? Do you believe He is keeping track of all your sins on His eternal "chalkboard"? Sadly, many believers live in fear, falsely believing they can lose the salvation they so freely received as a GIFT. If there are conditions placed upon a gift, it is not a gift but a loan or payment. A gift has NO stipulations put upon it and God gave salvation as a gift. He is no longer keeping track of your sins on that imagined chalk board. He has broken it in a million pieces. It no longer exists! There's been a change in covenants, my friend! We are no longer under law, but under grace, God's unmerited favor in Christ. God sent His Son, Jesus, to be our Substitute and Deliverer from condemnation. Jesus, the "Lamb of God," took upon Himself all God's wrath against sin once and for all time. His purpose was "that through death He might destroy him who HAD the power of death, that is the devil, and (Catch this now!) deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Heb. 2:14-15). How could you be delivered from the fear of death IF you could lose your salvation? You could never be free of that bondage. But you ARE free, beloved. If you have received Jesus by faith in His shed blood on your behalf, you are totally forgiven, forever and unconditionally! The Judge Himself, your heavenly Father, has justly declared you righteous, a "new creation in Christ Jesus." Give me the chance to convince you that you cannot lose the gift of God. Jesus is the Guarantee! Enter into that promised rest God promises all who are His. We received salvation by God's grace. We didn't earn it. We don't deserve it. We do not have to struggle to maintain it. No! Jesus, our Good Shepherd, keeps His sheep safe and secure. We are kept, protected, and deeply loved because we are IN Christ. There is no merit involved. It is "by grace through faith"!

With America's confidence in the Bible at an all-time low and the strength of her spiritual convictions waning, it is essential for Christians—especially Christian leaders—to be well-grounded in biblical theology. To have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the key doctrines of evangelicalism. In response, professor and award-winning author Bruce Demarest has made plain God's glorious plan of salvation, his provision for the human dilemma through Christ's work on the cross, and the application of saving grace to unbelievers. Demarest's unique approach defines each topic, identifies its most pressing issues, examines the ways in which the doctrine has been understood historically, and interprets the Bible's revelation. The result is a clear and carefully constructed doctrinal statement that you can defend, live out, and communicate to others. This singular, comprehensive treatment of one of Christianity's essential doctrines gives definitive, Bible-based answers about salvation and the cross— and about related theological issues such as grace and regeneration. It's perfect for clarifying your theology and gaining deep understanding of this foundational theme. Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series.

An exhaustive cross-referencing tool for interpreting Scripture with Scripture. The Bible is its own best commentary. To truly understand what the Bible teaches about a subject, we must consult all of what the Bible itself says about it. The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge allows you to do just that, providing a selection of other verses which shed light upon, clarify, or explain the verse you are consulting. Unlike a concordance, which is an alphabetical index to the words of the Bible, the cross-references given in the New Treasury are not merely to the same word, but to the same or a related thought, theme, doctrine, subject, concept, or literary motif, even when expressed in entirely different words. Special Features: Indicates degree of clarity, significance, or relationship between references Can be used with any translation or edition of the Bible Is arranged like the Bible (divided into the same books, chapters, and verses) for ease of use Provides a far more complete selection of cross-references than can be found in any other source Contains dozens of special study aids to help you develop powerful lessons or sermons--straight from the Bible itself Contains multiple indexes (subjects, figures of speech, etc.) Uses Strong's numbering system Uses a new font that makes it easier to read than previous versions No combination of other Bible study tools quite duplicates the carefully-research and indexed content in The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. When used effectively, this invaluable resource will change your life.
