Low Anthropology - The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself)

David Zahl

Sinopse

"A lighthearted yet high-minded exploration of failure's ability to serve as a gateway to grace. Readers will find this a balm."--Publishers Weekly 
 
Many of us spend our days feeling like we're the only one with problems, while everyone else has their act together. But the sooner we realize that everyone struggles like we do, the sooner we can show grace to ourselves and others. 
 
In Low Anthropology, popular author and theologian David Zahl explores how our ideas about human nature influence our expectations in friendship, work, marriage, and politics. We all go through life with an "anthropology"--an idea about what humans are like, our potentials and our limitations. A high anthropology--thinking optimistically about human nature--can breed perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, loneliness, and resentment. Meanwhile, Zahl invites readers into a biblically rooted and surprisingly life-giving low anthropology, which fosters hope, deep connection with others, lasting love, vulnerability, compassion, and happiness.  
 
Zahl offers a liberating view of human nature, sin, and grace, showing why the good news of Christianity is both urgent and appealing. By embracing a more accurate view of human beings, readers will discover a true and lasting hope.

Jesus in Islam

Yousef Naser

"Jesus in Islam" is an intriguing journey into the portrayal and understanding of Jesus Christ from an Islamic perspective. This book is not simply a theological exploration, but a catalyst for interfaith dialogue and comprehension. It aims to foster a holistic understanding of the shared histories and symbiotic narratives of these two Abrahamic religions.
Delving deep into the heart of Islamic theology and Qur'anic exegesis, this manuscript takes a detailed look at the life and miracles of Jesus, his mother Maryam's virtuous character and revered status in Islam, and the Islamic understanding of Jesus’s miraculous birth. The book uncovers the stark contrasts and compelling similarities between the Islamic and Christian perspectives, offering readers a fresh viewpoint and deeper understanding.
Taking the discourse further, the book thoroughly examines contentious theological issues, such as the concept of the Trinity, Divine Sonship, and the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah. These doctrines are meticulously scrutinized, providing a wealth of historical and scriptural context that illuminates the rich tapestry of Islamic and Christian thought.
A particularly notable feature of this book is its bold exploration of Jesus's crucifixion, presenting an alternative Islamic narrative. This controversial stance challenges widely held beliefs, encouraging readers to reflect on their understandings of the event.
The term "Son of God," often misunderstood and misinterpreted, is given substantial attention in this comprehensive study. This exploration delves into the rich history and diverse interpretations of this term, providing a unique Islamic perspective that invites thoughtful consideration.
"Jesus in Islam" aims not only to facilitate understanding of religious beliefs and traditions but to stimulate dialogue and mutual respect among followers of different faiths.

Behold! The Bridegroom Cometh! -...

Paul Bibbs

In Behold! The Bridegroom Cometh! Paul Bibbs helps everyday believers, as well as knowledgeable eschatology students, to discover the readiness associated with the Bride of Christ. In the book of Matthew, Jesus states those who were ready went with Him into the marriage. In Revelation, John states the Lamb's wife made herself ready. Paul's goal is to define what it means to be ready and show that it takes more than just knowing Jesus as Savior to participate in the rapture. He explains what it means to blaspheme the Holy Spirit to help Christians avoid committing the unpardonable sin in the end-times. Contact pbibbsministries@mail.com
