Dispensationalism Tomorrow & Beyond: A Theological Collection in Honor of Charles C. Ryrie *(See note on shipping) Christopher Cone, General Editor "This book in honor of Dr. Charles Ryrie was written by scholars who hold to the same basic view of Dispensationlaism for which he is noted.  In their chapters they address subjects related directly or indirectly to that system of theology.  They exhibit a confirmed commitment to the authority, power, sufficiency, original languages, and correct interpretation of the Scriptures.  Their work reflects careful exegesis of pertinent Biblical passages and significant interaction with writings of scholars who disagree with the Dispensational view of the Bible.  Readers will be introduced to subjects not normally addressed by Dispensational authors…” - Renald Showers

The Christian & Social Responsibility *(See note on shipping) Charles C. Ryrie Was our Lord's service social or redemptive?  Does Christ not command social service to all men?  Should we insist on justice because God is just, or deny our rights because God is longsuffering?  How will the believer know which is the proper course of social action at a particular time?  Should wealthy persons disperse their possessions? Dr. Ryrie addresses these and other pertinent questions in his classic book on the Christian's social responsibility.  Dr. Ryrie gives insight into how we can be both salt and light in today's world, talks about the personal priorities of Christ while on earth, and talks about our duties or responsibilities to all  men as well as our civic responsibilities. How does one determine the extent of their involvement in this world?  The Biblical foundations Dr. Ryrie discusses here prove to be both relevant and timely.

Prolegomena: Introductory Notes on Bible Study & Theological Method *(See note on shipping) Christopher Cone With insight and passion, Dr. Cone lays the foundation for the theological method he advocates by placing it squarely in the center of Biblical theology, establishing that context effectively, and wrapping it all up in the literal-grammatical-historical method of hermeneutics. As he develops this context, Dr. Cone shows that Biblical theology bears a vital relationship to philosophy, science, epistemology, and worldview. Dr. Cone develops his thesis around four pillars, which form the main body of his work: The Existence of the Biblical God, God’s Authoritative Self-Revelation to Man, Natural-Man’s Incapacity to Comprehend God’s Revelation, and A Consistent Hermeneutic  Although all four pillars are important, the fourth pillar provides the real meat of the work by advocating a consistently literal hermeneutic as a means for understanding and developing the truths in the other three pillars and as the only hermeneutic that can correctly interpret Scripture and exegete truth from the Biblical text. In addition, the book contains an extensive bibliography for further study.

Beyond the Sun: An Introduction to Worldview and Philosophy through the Lens of Ecclesiastes Christopher Cone Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, offers one of the most insightful earth-centered perspectives on the world and life in it. He examines succinctly the futility, the emptiness, and the hopelessness of life under the sun, life apart from God. At the same time, he suggests the wonder and value of even the simplest act when performed in the context of God’s glory. In Life Beyond the Sun, Dr. Cone introduces an overview of Solomon’s worldview and discusses how it seems to anticipate the worldviews of philosophers who came after him. As he discuses the various aspects of Solomon’s Biblical worldview, Dr. Cone supplies a generous amount of parallels from philosophers through the ages for comparison. He notes how Solomon’s criticisms of the endeavors of godless men seem to apply so well to some of the world’s greatest minds.

Aspects of Pastoral Theology Christopher Cone, General Editor Seventeen contributors offer valuable insights on many aspects of pastoral ministry. Subjects range from defining what a pastor is and describing his function within the church through the practice of church discipline, the role of a pastor’s wife, the mission of a church up to the measure of success in pastoral ministry, all with the consideration of God’s purpose and glory. Nothing of importance is left out.

The Greatness of the Rapture: The Pre-Day of the Lord Rapture David Olander What is the rapture? What does it involve? When does it take place? How does it relate to other events in the last days? With insight and clarity, Dr. Olander answers these and other questions, while at the same time developing a new approach to an old subject. In this book, Dr. Olander makes a tremendous contribution to end-times studies by introducing a more theologically sound terminology. In place of the concept of a “pre-tribulation rapture,” Dr. Olander introduces and develops the idea of a “pre-day-of-the-Lord rapture” of the church. As he further develops this idea, Dr. Olander offers a better and more thorough understanding of the rapture itself, as well as a clearer understanding of the Day of the Lord.
