This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This timely theology of humankind gives an evangelical and Reformed perspective on what it means for us to be created in the image of God and shows how this image relates to contemporary problems of racism, sexuality, and our relationship to the natural world. The second volume in the late Paul Jewett''s planned multivolume systematic theology -- which began with God, Creation, and Revelation -- this work brings solid biblical and theological scholarship to bear on the Christian doctrine of humankind, showing that our unique dignity as human beings is to have been created to live our lives before God, in loving responsibility toward God and other people. Excellent doctrinal sermons by Marguerite Shuster demonstrate how theological and practical aspects of the doctrine of humankind might be preached in local congregations.

In 1453, with the fall of Constantinople cutting off eastern trade routes, three determined men--a nobleman unjustly sentenced to death for treason, the heir to a shipping fortune, and a vengeful soldier--seek fame and fortune on the high seas. Original.

A major new series of the 15th century--when the brave and bold dared sail in search of a new world. It is 1418 and a century of discovery opens. Bold men gripped by a shared passion set out on the same journey: to see what lies beyond the horizon. On a daring voyage in search of a fabulous lost island somewhere west of Africa, a fisherman''s son witnesses both miracles and despair on a perilous dark sea.

A theology that is real, readable, and relevant -- such is Paul Jewett''s God, Creation, and Revelation. Writing from a distinctively evangelical and Reformed viewpoint, Jewett offers a general, systematic introduction to these doctrines of the Christian church: how we know God (revelation and Scripture); who God is (the divine nature); what God is like (the divine attributes); and what God has done (creation). / While upholding the historic Christian faith, Jewett''s approach to Christian teaching is uniquely "neo-evangelical" in that he seeks to expound and clarify orthodox Christianity for twentieth-century Christians: Jewett purposely sets forth his systematic theology in light of scientific and social issues that confront the church in the contemporary world. Throughout the book Jewett also refers to literary masterpieces and to the church''s hymns, giving the reader a greater appreciation for the theological treasures in our literature and our hymnody. / The culmination of nearly forty years of study and teaching, this book adeptly balances the philosophical efforts needed in systematic theology with the biblical material in which Christian doctrines are rooted, and it covers well the range of theologies -- from the early fathers to the Scholastics, from the Reformers to liberation and feminist theologians. Interspersed throughout the text are useful addenda and excursuses, which provide further detailed treatment of specific topics. / An unusual feature of God, Creation, and Revelation is Jewett''s inclusion of eight sermons by Dr. Marguerite Shuster, a former student of his. Believing that theology and preaching must go together, Jewett has strategically placed these sermons throughout the book as creative examples of how to preach Christian doctrines.
