Sinless Flesh : A Critique Of Karl Barth’s Fallen Christ
$28.99
Did Christ assume a fallen human nature?
“What is not assumed is not healed.” So goes the Chalcedonian maxim articulated by Gregory of Nazianzus regarding the nature and extent of Christ’s work in assuming a human nature. But what is the nature of that assumption? If Christ is to stand in solidarity with us, must he have assumed not merely a human nature, but specifically a fallen human nature?
In Sinless Flesh: A Critique of Karl Barth’s Fallen Christ, Rafael Bello argues against the assertion made by Karl Barth, T. F. Torrance, and those who follow them that Christ assumed a fallen nature. Through retrieval of patristic, medieval, and Reformed orthodox theologians, Bello argues that a proper understanding of human nature, trinitarian inseparable operations, and the habitual grace-grace of union distinction leads to the conclusion that the assertion that Christ assumed a fallen human nature is at odds with faithful theological and historical understandings of the incarnation.
Readers interested in theological retrieval for issues in contemporary theology will find a faithful model and way forward for a thorny issue in modern dogmatics.

Walking In Truth In A World Of Lies
$15.99You and I are being lied to on a regular basis. In fact, our entire culture is riddled with duplicity.
Scripture warns repeatedly of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived?
There is only one way to stay safe from the deceiver’s powerful lies: We must allow the “love of the truth” to hold sway in our innermost being. Only then will we be capable of Walking in Truth in a World of Lies.

Create In Me A Pure Heart
$15.99She who gives herself to wanton pleasure,” observed the apostle Paul, “is dead even while she lives.” These ominous words perfectly articulate the living hell in which many Christian women are currently living. The Christian community has long thought that sexual sin is strictly a man’s problem, but statistics indicate that the problem among women is much more widespread than anyone might have imagined. The desire to connect with someone emotionally, the indulgence in romantic fantasies, the craving for male attention and the ever-present godless influences of the media have all combined to create what has quietly become a spiritual epidemic in our midst. Create in Me a Pure Heart addresses the unique issues that the struggling woman faces. Utilizing the profound insights found in the author’s best-selling book, At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry, this book offers a clear-cut path to freedom that will prove to be invaluable to pastors, counselors and struggling women.
