Since the belief in a purely spiritual resurrection of Christ is prevalent in many cults, those involved in countering the rise and growth of cults would benefit greatly from reading this book.

Dr. John Warwick Montgomery, author of 'History and Christianity' Geisler demonstrates not only the danger in the theology of various cults but also the tendency to discount the bodily resurrection of the Lord, even among evangelicals.

The simple truth about Christ's bodily resurrection is being challenged by some church leaders and evangelical professors who insist that Christ rose not in a physical or material sense but in an invisible, spiritual body. Dr. Geisler presents the Biblical and historical evidence for Jesus' physical resurrection. Updated to respond to recent criticisms by Murray Harris, author of Raised Immortal.

Aimed at the general reader with an interest in World War II and the U.S. Navy, this book looks at the massive salvage effort that followed the attack on Pearl Harbor, beginning with the damage control efforts aboard the sinking and damaged ships in the harbor on 7 December 1941 and ending in March 1944 when salvage efforts on the USS Utah were finally abandoned. Dan Madsen describes the Navy's dramatic race to clear the harbor and repair as many ships as possible so they could return to the fleet ready for war. Numerous photographs, many never before published in books for the general public, give readers a real appreciation for the momentous task involved, from the raising of the USS Oglala in 1942 and the USS Oklahoma in 1943 to the eventual dismantling of the above-water portions of the USS Arizona.

The devastating War of the Spider Queen comes to an end, giving birth to the greatest horror the Realms has ever known The Spider Queen lives again, but something is different—something her priestesses can hear in the winds, feel in their spirits, and see with their own eyes. The Demonweb Pits, removed from the Abyss to take its place among the lower planes, is more horrifying than anyone has ever imagined. Teeming with feral spiders bent on ripping each other to pieces—killing, eating, and killing again—the blasted landscape of Lolth’s personal hell is still forming. Quenthel Baenre, with the tattered remnants of her expedition continuing to plot against her, crosses that spider-infested killing ground in hopes of answering the call of her reborn goddess. If she can make it to Lolth’s side, can she even imagine what plans the Queen of the Demonweb Pits has had for her all along? Danifae Yauntyrr—a former battle-captive of House Melarn—has followed Quenthel into the Pits, but even the hellish conditions cannot distract her from her true mission: kill Halisstra Melarn. While Danifae contemplates vengenace, the very target of her burning hatred is not far behind, following her own hidden agenda. Halisstra holds the fabled Crescent Blade, a sword she believes will grant her the power to kill Lolth herself—but only if they find her before she fully completes her own mysterious resurrection.

When the Civil War ended, Jefferson Davis had fallen from the heights of popularity to the depths of despair. In this fascinating new book, Donald E. Collins explores the resurrection of Davis to heroic status in the hearts of white Southerners culminating in one of the grandest funeral processions the nation had ever seen. As schools closed and bells tolled along the thousand mile route, Southerners appeared en masse to bid a final farewell to the man who championed Southern secession and ardently defended the Confederacy.

Edited by Paul Copan and Ronald Tacelli, this is a lively and provocative debate between Christian philosopher William Lane Craig and New Testament scholar and atheist Gerd Lüdemann on the historical truth of the resurrection.

Did Jesus rise from the dead? The question is one on which the truth of the Christian faith turns (1 Cor. 15). If Jesus did not rise, you may as well close down your church! In this volume, prominent Internet apologist James Patrick Holding and a team of Christian authors provide a series of essays defending the Resurrection as a historical event, taking on criticisms from every angle - from that which is scholarly to that which is plain lunacy! With this book, you'll be prepared to meet many of today's greatest challenges to the core event of the Christian faith. "Both the interested reader and especially the student of this subject should find many worthwhile discussions that are easily worth the price of the book." - from the Foreword by Dr. Gary Habermas

There is a trojan horse inside the evangelical camp. A battle has broken out, and the enemy is on the inside, not the outside. In fact, the enemy has secretly placed dynamite at the evangelical foundation which supports the whole superstructure of Christian truth. Alarming? Yes, but true. Who is the enemy, and what is the evangelical foundation of truth?The answer emerges from recent significant actions by some evangelical schools and denominations. For example, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the world retains on the faculty of its school a professor who has denied in print that Jesus rose from the tomb in a literal, physical body. He contends Paul was convinced that the Christ who appeared to him be¬longed to another order of existence than the Christ the disciples had known in the flesh. The risen Christ has not a physical but a spiritual body (emphasis mine).A smaller influential denomination that sponsors a well-known evangelical seminary in America has just pronounced orthodox a professor who denies what the Apostle's Creed af-firms: "I believe . . . in the resurrection of the body [flesh]." He wrote of Christ: This suggests that after his resurrection his essential state was one of invisibility and immateriality. It will be spiritual also in that it is . . . neither fleshly nor fleshy. From this point of view the new body is qualitatively and numerically distinct from the old body (emphases mine).These developments signal a new and crucial battle inside the evangelical church-the battle for the resurrection. Fighting for the resurrection is not new; fighting for it inside evangelical circles is. Once it was only liberals who denied the physical, material resurrection; now some evangelicals have joined them. Traditionally, the historicity of the resurrection was denied; now it is the materiality of the resurrection body that is denied.Suppose you were in Jesus' tomb on that first Easter morning. What would you have seen? Jesus' dead body literally come to life and leave the tomb? No. According to this new departure from orthodoxy, you simply would have witnessed Jesus' body vanish before your eyes! In short, you would have observed the annihilation of His material body, not its resurrection.The implications of this new doctrinal departure are far reaching. They threaten the very foundation of our evangeli¬cal faith. The Bible declares that the resurrection is the very heart of the gospel (1 Cor. 15:1-3) and is even a condition of salvation (Rom. 10:9). Thus, to tamper with this foundation of faith is to undermine the whole superstructure of Christian truth.This book is an attempt to sound the trumpet of concern about this current trend in evangelical doctrine. It reveals alarming information about the latest attempts to redefine historic biblical truths to suit contemporary inclinations. It is an earnest plea to alert the body of Christ to one of the most significant doctrinal deviations of our time-one that hits at the very essence of the Christian faith.The Trojan horse is within and the dynamite has been placed. The battle for the resurrection is now within the evangelical church!
