Or is the story of Eden simply a metaphor, leaving scientists the job to correctly reconstruct the truth of how humanity began? Although the church currently faces these pressing questions—exacerbated as they are by scientific and philosophical developments of our age—we must not think that they are completely new. In The Quest for the Historical Adam, William VanDoodewaard recovers and assesses the teaching of those who have gone before us, providing a historical survey of Genesis commentary on human origins from the patristic era to the present. Reacquainting the reader with a long line of theologians, exegetes, and thinkers, VanDoodewaard traces the roots, development, and, at times, disappearance of hermeneutical approaches and exegetical insights relevant to discussions on human origins. This survey not only informs us of how we came to this point in the conversation but also equips us to recognize the significance of the various alternatives on human origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e400 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reformation Heritage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16407756865579,"sku":"9781601783776","price":53.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/HistoricalAdam5__70127.1421354609.jpg?v=1636115764"},{"product_id":"9780801098024-reformed-ethics-volume-1-created-fallen-and-converted-humanity-bavinck-herman-edited-by-bolt-john","title":"Reformed Ethics, Volume 1 Created, Fallen, and Converted Humanity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHerman Bavinck's four-volume \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eReformed Dogmatics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is one of the most important theological works of the twentieth century.

From birth to old age, in sickness or health, Christians believe that every person is an image bearer reflecting their Creator. Given that view, Christians are united in believing that practices like abortion and euthanasia are contrary to God’s word, but it can be difficult to know how to take a stand against them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this repackaged work, two significant figures from the pro-life movement during the twentieth century illuminate the “anti-God” and “antilife” attitudes that dominate American society. The issues raised in this book at its first publication 40 years ago—abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia—are still prevalent and practiced today. \u003cem\u003eWhatever Happened to the Human Race?\u003c\/em\u003e presents readers with a compelling case for the sanctity of life at all stages, showing that abortion is one step away from infanticide—the murder of a child who has been born—and euthanasia is just a clinical way to talk about murder. This book is a much-needed call for Christians to affirm the sanctity of life and to take a stand for the uniqueness and the inherent dignity of each human being, at all stages of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e256 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-section-header\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Abortion of the Human Race\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: The Slaughter of the Innocents\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Death by Someone’s Choice\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: The Basis for Human Dignity\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Truth and History\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Our Personal Response and Social Action\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: How Can We Help?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39385692962895,"sku":"9781433576997","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9781433576997-whatever-happened-to-the-human-race-francis-a-schaeffer-and-c-everett-koop-md.jpg?v=1636121318"},{"product_id":"9780802410320-made-for-more-an-invitation-to-live-in-gods-image-hannah-anderson","title":"Made for More: An Invitation to Live In God's Image","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho are you, really?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an uncertain world, we crave the security of knowing exactly who we are and where we belong.

He addresses fundamental questions like, What does it mean to be human? Who am I? and Why do I exist? He also considers the creaturely and divine nature of humans, the body-soul relationship, and the beatific vision. Farris concludes that humans are souls and bodies and are designed to experience the presence of God.

Most Christians rightly agree the Bible prohibits homosexual acts. But does the Bible prohibit homosexual desires? And does the Bible allow for Christians to use supposedly “good aspects of same-sex attractions” for righteous purposes? This book answers these questions by pinpointing exactly what the lusts of the flesh are. But this book is about more than just homosexual desires. At its core, this work answers if our attractions to evil are inherently sinful or just temptation. After examining several passages from the Bible, Jesus’s life and temptations, and church history, this book teaches that every desire for evil is sin and needs Jesus’s forgiveness. It’s time for Christians to focus on God, His Word, and Christ when discussing sin, rather than focusing on our “orientations,” memories, and choices. Introspection, misremembering, and rhetoric have never taken anyone’s sins away. Jesus alone cleanses us and makes us like Him for all eternity, so we must continually turn away from the lusts of the flesh and trust in Christ for both salvation and sanctification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e176 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen words like \"sexual orientation\" or \"gay Christianity\" enter the church, are they friends or foes?

Not semantics or missional opportunities as wolves and fools profess, these neologisms come with perversions of the true, saving, and victorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He argues, rightfully, that we are morally culpable for our inward lusts. Drawing not only on the Scriptures, but also church history, Moore highlights the sin of the lust of the flesh and then offers ways in which the Christian can properly mortify their inward sinful inclinations. This book will offer a robust pushback against those who lessen the grievousness of same-sex attraction, but it also has a lot to say about basic Christian living and how we can be truly free in Christ, not just in our outward behavior but more especially in our inward desires.
