Think Biblically: Recovering a Christian Worldview

Our thoughts shape who we are. The Bible tells us, &ldquo;Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind&rdquo; (Romans 12:2a). In a time where many differing voices compete for our allegiance, we must learn how to "think biblically" in order to distinguish good from evil.
In&nbsp;Think Biblically: Recovering a Christian Worldview, John MacArthur and other teachers from Master's College confront false worldviews that dominate our postmodern world. The authors provide models for cultivating a biblical mindset on worship, psychology, gender, science, education, history, government, economics, and literature, and this updated edition includes new chapters on hermeneutics, mental illness, complementarianism, and Christian liberal arts.

Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology

All thoughtful Christians want to better understand the Bible, its author, and its influence on their beliefs-they want to understand&nbsp;theology. Many find the subject matter too dense, academic, or difficult to understand, and they lack proper study resources to help expand their knowledge of God.
Daily Doctrine is a devotional designed to make systematic theology clear and accessible for the everyday Christian. Each month is categorized into broad themes, starting with the study of God and concluding with the end times. Associate professor of systematic theology Kevin Young crafts daily readings that contain Bible verses for meditation and application, easing readers into the study of systematic theology.

Angels & Demons: What the Bible Says

Christians often do not hear sermons explicitly teaching about angels, and biblical authors are rarely focused on discussing them.

Unlike speculative books with borrowed views, Angels &amp; Demons: What the Bible Says satisfies the need for biblically-sound teaching about angels for an audience who desires to learn about the spiritual realm.

Modern day culture says we create our own identities and determine how we want to express them, but this way can lead to confusion and anxiety. In&nbsp;The Water and the Blood, Kevin P.
