Death and dying, what could be a more interesting and frightening topic? Statistics show that over one hundred die worldwide every minute! Death and violence of every kind flood our theater screens. Interactive video games depicting the gruesome violence of war are now at the fingertips of our children. Major cities across America record shootings and deaths nightly. For most people, the very thought of their impending death causes panic and anxiety. Perhaps it is the fear of the unknown. Since the beginning of time, man has pondered the question, “Is there life after death?” What if you could know precisely, definitively, and exactly what happens after death? Could this calm your fears? This book will guide you through the Scriptures to show you without question that death is not the final answer. Much like the television infomercial, this book will tell you—but wait, there’s more! It is my prayer that this book, along with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, will break the bondage of fear over your death and the death of your loved ones. For those who have gone on before you, perhaps this book will give you the needed assurance to find peace and comfort at their loss. May this book challenge you to set aside your fear and push forward to know that Jesus Christ once and for all defeated hell, death, and the grave. It is the best news you will read today—or ever!

Several philosophers have developed theological perspectives out of Heidegger's ontology. Yet the question of God in Heidegger's thought itself has never received full elucidation. In this revealing new study, George Kovacs poses the problem of analyzing the idea of God as a process of questioning and thus subjects Heidegger's phenomenological existentialism to a process of exposition Heidegger himself employed.

Volume 2 treats atonement, the Holy Spirit, ecclesiology, the sacraments, justification by faith, and eschatology.

Webster's dictionary defines myth as aEURoea thing having only an unverifiable or imaginary existence.aEUR How fitting, then, to refer to this widely accepted concept of spiritual death as a myth. Over thirty years ago, I came to a place of understanding where the concept seemed to fit the events of the Garden of Eden. Admittedly, I never really challenged the teaching. Today, most Christian believers have accepted spiritual death as the fulfillment of God's warning to Adam and Eve: aEURoeFor in the day that thou eat thereof thou shalt surely dieaEUR (Genesis 2:17). And if spiritual death is a reality, then the requirements that Jesus told Nicodemus to be aEURoeborn again to see the kingdom of GodaEUR (John 3:3) seem to fit as well. Man has spiritually died and now needs to be born again of the spirit. With our limited intellect, we simply love to have everything figured out, boxed up, and placed on the shelf. For the believer, as you spend time in the Word of God, you soon realize that much is unclear and most is left to faith. Thankfully, there are times when the person of the Holy Spirit speaks a nugget of truth into our spirits and a clearer revelation bursts forth. Perhaps you will find nothing new in this discourse; perhaps it will shake up your theology just a bit. It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit will illuminate your spirit to the truth of what was really lost in the garden transgressions and what Jesus Christ requires of each of His disciples. Secondly, that you will discover God's intentions for the marriage relationship. And finally, stir your spirit to more diligently and prayerfully study your Bible, like the Bereans found in the book of Acts, and aEURoesearch the Scriptures daily whether those things be soaEUR (Acts 17:11 KJV).

The aim of this book is not to provide absolutes or sure solutions to abolishing war. Our aim is to begin a conversation in local churches. In order to start this conversation, we invited a panel of scholars, pastors, laypeople, and activists to write on war and the Church.
