Who is a member of the church? Christians divide on how one enters the church body. Matters are quickly complicated once other factors are considered, such as faith, instruction, baptism, first communion, and formal membership. Who should be baptized? What role does instruction play? And what is the best order of these things? Jonathan D. Watson's In the Name of Our Lord provides an explanatory typology and incisive analysis for thinking through these interrelated questions. Watson's four--model framework accounts for the major historical varieties of relationship between baptism and catechesis as initiation into the church. With this framework in place, Watson then considers each model in relation to one another. With a guide to navigating the terrain, readers can comprehend, compare, and contrast these different theological formulations. Readers will have a sophisticated but clear system for thinking through foundational matters that are important to every pastor and congregant.

The Name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (Prov. 18:10). The Name of the Lord represents Who the Lord is. When Moses asked God His Name, so that if the Israelites asked him he would tell them, God said, "I AM WHO I AM...Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you'" (Exo. 3:14). He is Whom He is! He is the Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient God. He is the Holy Lord God Almighty. He is the First and the Last, the Creator of every being and thing. And if you are in Him, you are safe; for His Name will be a shield over you. God will prove Himself strong on your behalf, because He will defend and protect His Name. Furthermore, He loves you enough to defend you.

Devotion to the Name of Jesus in Medieval English Literature, c. 1100 - c. 1530 offers a broad but detailed study of the practice of devotion to the Name of Jesus in late medieval England.

It also offers illuminating evidence about how Margery Kempe and her scribes used devotion, how Eleanor Hull made it an essential component of her meditative sequence seven days of the week, and how Lady Margaret Beaufort worked towards its instigation as an official feast.

In Christianity today, most prayers and ceremonies are validated and punctuated by such phrases as, 'In Jesus' Name!' 'In the name of Jesus!' and 'In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit)!' However, this book unveils the Name of Jesus Christ (Hashem Yeshua HaMoshiach), according to the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation as: the intrinsic essence of His Being; the Person of the Lord Himself; the sphere of the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, ascended Jesus as the glorified God-man; the aggregate of all His accomplishments, attainments and obtainments and much, much more ...
