    Both-And

    Living the Christ-Centered Life in an Either-Or World

    by Rich Nathan
    With Insoo Kim

    It's an Either-Or world. We find ourselves caught between competing factions, secular or religious, conservative or liberal. We are pulled between extremes on one side or the other.

Rich Nathan and Insoo Kim show how Christians ...

    What does the good news of Jesus mean for economics?

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Joel C. Elowsky
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    The Gospel of John was beloved by the early church, much as it is today, for its spiritual insight and clear declaration of Jesus' divinity. Clement of Alexandria indeed declared it the "spiritual Gospel." Early disputers with heretics such as Cerinthus and the Ebionites drew upon the Gospel of John to refute their heretical notions and uphold the full deity of Christ, and this Gospel more than ...
