The NASB 2020 is an update of the NASB 1995 that further improves accuracy where possible, modernizes language, and improves understandability. These refinements maintain faithful accuracy to the original texts and provide a clear understanding of God’s Word to those who prefer more modern English standards. The long-established translation standard for the NASB remains the same as it always has been, that is to accurately translate the inspired Word of God from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts into modern English that is clearly understandable today.

A metaphysical interpretation of the New Testament, which teaches oneness as the only truth, and surrender (or letting go) as the practice that leads to spiritual enlightenment. NTI stresses the importance of willingness, acceptance, gratitude, mind-watching, and trust on the path of enlightenment while teaching the listener to let go of unworthiness, fear, guilt, and false (or separation-based) thinking. NTI has been described as a love letter and as a loving approach to letting go of the ego. NTI teaches us how to experience the oneness of God here and now.

Cutting through the controversies and doctrinal debates, two trusted Dallas Theological Seminary professors offer a practical, foundational handbook on the basics of Christian theology—and why it matters to everyday life. From humanity and sin to the Trinity to the end times, Svigel and Holsteen show why these topics matter and how you can apply them to your life every day. 

In this conversation with Michael Toms, recorded in 1996, the late journalist and commentator Bill Moyers discusses some of the controversies surrounding Genesis, the first book of the Bible, which, he points out, contains some of the most powerful stories in Western civilization. He says, “Stories are the way we organize our response to the world…Listening to others, and having them listen to you, is a way to grow your own faith.”

Volume Three “Harlot & Bride" covers the last third of Revelation and explores the dark theme of the whore of Babylon followed by the bright and light-filled description of the bride, the New Jerusalem, with its gems, pearls, and clear gold streets and walls. James B. Jordan has never held a full-time academic position. He moonlighted as an editor. These lectures were given over a four-year period to a Sunday school class where he served as an assistant pastor at a small church in Niceville, Florida.

Rushdoony’s Sermons in First and Second Corinthians are the last of his Biblical commentaries—delivered shortly before his passing—but it represents a fitting close to his teaching ministry. He said Paul’s letters are difficult to preach on because they speak to the sins of Christians, and with the church at Corinth, the long list of sins included division, strife, injustice, immorality, doctrinal error, and the abuse of the sacraments.

A tongue-in-cheek look at the greatest hits (and misses) of the Holy Bible as told by a former evangelical Christian minister-turned gay activist and humorist. It is designed with the neophyte in mind. If you have never experienced the Bible, come on along. You are in good company. Most folks have not idea at all what's inside. And for you smarty-pants kids who grew up in "the church" and think you know all about it, we dare you to take the tour. Jump on the bus, and let's get rolling.

Do you read the Bible but still feel unsure about what Christians actually believe? Have you heard the same doctrines for years—grace, salvation, the Trinity—yet never felt confident explaining them? Do sermons make sense in the moment, but fall apart when you try to see the whole picture? You are not alone.

First published in 1970, this book helped spur the modern rise of postmillennialism. Revelation's details are often perplexing, even baffling, and yet its main meaning is clear: It is a book about victory. It tells us that our faith can only result in victory. "This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith" (1 John 5:4). This is why knowing Revelation is so important. It assures us of our victory and celebrates it. Genesis 3 tells us of the fall of man into sin and death. Revelation gives us man's victory in Christ over sin and death.

The foundation of the Christian faith is built on Jesus Christ and his word to us, the Holy Bible. This Biblical Foundation Series includes elementary principles every Christian needs to help lay a strong spiritual foundation in his or her life. In this fifth Biblical Foundation book, we discover that it is grace that motivates God to offer us salvation even though we did not earn it. In fact, we cannot earn it; it is a gift. Our salvation comes as a gift of God’s grace, and it can be accessed by our response of faith. God’s grace is present in our lives to save us.

This book materialized in response to the need for a beginner’s guide to the message of Isaiah, one that captures its main points in a single volume. This is a simple handbook—one that nevertheless has depth. Taking simplification even further, Chapter One, “Overviews of Isaiah’s Prophecy,” summarizes the main points of Isaiah’s message in itself, while the following chapters expand upon them. Of necessity, therefore, some redundancy exists as Isaiah’s prophecies are explained first in part and later more fully.

For the orthodox Christian who grounds his philosophy of history on the doctrine of creation, the mainspring of history is God. Time rests on the foundation of eternity, on eternal decree of God. Time and history, therefore, have meaning because they were created in terms of God's perfect and totally comprehensive plan. The humanist faces a meaningless world in which he must strive to create and establish meaning.

There is a marked resemblance between our time and that of Elijah and Elisha. Their day was an age of syncretism, of radical compromise between the worship of the Lord and Baal worship. The two had been blended together to make one religion, so that a refusal to see the necessity for uncompromising religion marked Israel. In Chariots of Prophetic Fire, R. J. Rushdoony challenges the Church of our day to resist compromise and the temptation of expediency and realize that the power today does not lie in politics or governments, but in God’s men of faith.

The Christian faith is full of symbols, types, and shadows. However, the Cross is perhaps the most recognizable Christian symbol of all. Yes, it represents the method by which Jesus was crucified and the compelling message of the Cross which includes not only Jesus’s death, but also His burial and resurrection. The power of God is the message of the Cross but we often fail to understand that a deep and profound meaning lies in this simple and common symbol.

This ground-breaking book is for the one who is not satisfied with the standard theological positions regarding life and death, health and sickness and sin; one who is eager for a fuller, more practical concept of God as taught and demonstrated by Christ Jesus. Astoundingly original, it challenges the popular notions of church, religion, and medicine, and clarifies Christianity not as a system of beliefs, but as a demonstrable science.

What is the gospel? How well can we articulate the gospel? If our gospel is solely about forgiveness of sin and entry into heaven in the hereafter, we have missed the true substance of the gospel.
