A Rational Defense of the Christian Faith and a Critique of Presuppositional Apologetics.Must a person accept Christianity on faith alone, or is there a reasoned defense for being a Christian? The authors of this book hold that Christianity is eminently reasonable. The primacy of the mind in the Christian faith can be affirmed without denying the importance of the heart. This book embraces reason without rationalism, personal love without personalism, faith without fideism is our capacity to love Him. The book is divided into three parts. Section I is a prolegomenon dealing with the problems and methods of apologetics. Section II develops the theistic proofs and authority of Scripture. Section III is given over to a critique of presuppositionalism in apologetics, particularly with reference to the thought of Cornelius Van Til. Classical Apologetics will help the thoughtful Christian understand his or her faith better, and it will provide more solid grounds for sharing this faith with others.

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” In this classic work, the famed reformed theologian R. C. Sproul puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy.

R. C. Sproul will be your guide as you explore this principle from biblical theology, discovering insights on topics like

The impact of God’s holiness on the beliefs of Martin LutherThe concept of holy justiceHow to allow God’s holiness to touch our lives

Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

• Was ist die Endzeit?• Leben wir darin?Kriege, Kriegsgerüchte, Hungersnöte, Erdbeben, internationale Unruhen – Jesus sagte, dass all diese Dinge Zeichen für Seine Wiederkunft sein würden. Es klingt, als würde Jesus unsere eigene Zeit beschreiben; aber hat Er wirklich diese Ereignisse vorausgesagt, die wir jeden Tag in den Nachrichten lesen?In diesem Buch betrachtet R.C. Sproul die Prophezeiungen Jesu, um eine kontroverse Frage zu erörtern: Leben wir in der Endzeit? Die Antwort könnte dich überraschen.

Der Römerbrief ist einer der bekanntesten Briefe der Bibel und wahrscheinlich der einflussreichste in der Kirchengeschichte, da er eine systematische Darstellung vom Evangelium Gottes durch den Apostel Paulus enthält. Gott gebrauchte gerade diesen Brief, um viele Menschen zur Buße und zum Glauben an Jesus Christus zu führen, die Reformation auszulösen und große Erweckungen zu bewirken. Das Leben zahlreicher Christen und Gemeinden wurde durch den Römerbrief verändert – bis zum heutigen Tag.In diesem ausführlichen Kommentar zeigt R.C. Sproul unsere Sündhaftigkeit und Unfähigkeit, uns selbst zu erretten, die Gerechtigkeit Gottes und Seine wunderbare Gnade, das Heil in Christus, unsere Verantwortung, Gottes souveränes Handeln gegenüber Israel und das geheiligte Leben eines Christen.Lass Dich beim Lesen dieses Kommentars erbauen, indem Du die konsequente Art und Weise beobachtest, in welcher der Apostel Paulus die Herrlichkeit Jesu hervorhob, während er zum Gehorsam des Glaubens aufrief.Dieser Kommentar eignet sich auch gut für die Familienandachten und für den Bibelunterricht in der Gemeinde. Die Fragen am Ende jedes Kapitels, regen zur gemeinsamen Vertiefung und Reflektion an.»Der Römerbrief ist keineswegs das Ergebnis der theologischen Einsichten von Paulus, sondern er ist eine Botschaft, die aus dem Geist Gottes kommt, mit der Kraft, Leben zu verändern.«– R.C. Sproul
