Biblical Theology

The third section shows that would-be challengers to God's law produce only poison and death. Only God's law can claim to express God's "covenant grace in helping us."

For too long, the American Church has neglected the theology of the cross, replacing biblical truth with appealing but shallow doctrines. In Banner of the Cross, L. D.

Gordon then begins to offer an interdisciplinary solution utilizing Thomas Jay Oord's theology of essential kenosis and revealing how it provides a better theological basis for developing a doctrine of biblical inspiration.

This book, the first in a series on biblical prophecy, examines the critical concept of two Israels as revealed in Scripture. Misunderstood by many scholars, this distinction is essential for accurate prophecy interpretation.

This book explores the concept of "Israel after the flesh,...
