This volume provides the complete text of key Scripture passages that form the basis for theological study. The text used is the highly readable and modern New International Version. The verses listed are grouped by the classical categories of systematic theology (e.g., God, Christ, Salvation); on disputed points, verses from which the major theological views derive are given. Footnotes provide clarification and brief commentary on verses as appropriate. This work is intended to assist the theological student who might not take the time to look up the verses cited in systematic theologies, but it will also be useful to anyone seeking to better understand the major themes of Scripture.

"The beginning student in theology may feel overwhelmed by the massive amount of theological literature that has been produced during two thousand years of Christian history," writes the author., who intends this book "to help the student to find his way around the theological landscape." Theological Primer will do just that. Sign pointers in this volume include a glossary of theological terms, brief biographies of modern theologians, and an annotated bibliography. Supplementing these are two helpful articles, "Truth: Philosophical and Theological Issues," and "Guidelines for Theological Research, Reflection, and Expression."

A fresh examination of the more optimistic of the eschatological outlooks...the position that has come to be known as postmillennialism.

Christ's victorious kingdom: Postmillennialism reconsidered

What happens when new scientific research meets traditional Christian doctrines? How does the big bang theory fit with Genesis 1:1? What does quantum mechanics have to do with the doctrines of predestination and the omniscience of God? How does the anthropic principle square with a biblical notion of a designed and purposeful universe? What are the implications of the doctrine of redemption in Jesus Christ for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence?Addressing these and other complex and fascinating questions, John Jefferson Davis brings together a well-informed understanding of current scientific issues with Christian teaching. He demonstrates that the meeting between the frontiers of science and the frontiers of faith calls for a proper relationship with the God of the universe and a humility that acknowledges the fundamental limits of human knowledge.

Is God missing from our worship? Obstacles to true worship are not about contemporary or traditional music, electronic gadgetry or seeker sensitivity. Rather it is the habits of mind and heart, conditioned by our surrounding culture, that hinder our faith in the real presence of the transcendent God among his people. Sensing a real need for renewal, John Jefferson Davis offers a theology of worship that uncovers the most fundamental barriers to our vital involvement in the worship of our holy God. His profound theological analysis leads to fresh and bracing recommendations that will be especially helpful to all those who lead worship or want to more fully and deeply encounter the glory and majesty of God.

Worship and the Reality of God: An Evangelical Theology of Real Presence

IVP Academic

As culture has become at once more secular and more religiously pluralistic, a renaissance of interest in the spiritual disciplines has been sparked in evangelical Protestant circles. Mounting levels of stress, burnout and spiritual dryness among those in ministry has only stoked this desire for spiritual nourishment and renewal. John Jefferson Davis helps us recover the practice of meditation on Scripture as he explores the biblical and theological foundations rooted in the arrival of "the age to come" in Jesus Christ. Indeed by virtue of our union with Christ, the Triune God of the Bible draws near to his people so that they may also draw near to him. Meditation on God's revelation has always been central to enjoying communion with the Father through the Son and in the Spirit. Davis gives us fresh and practical guidance on removing the obstacles that block our fellowship with God and listening to Scripture in ways that can enrich our worship, faith, hope and love.

Meditation and Communion with God: Contemplating Scripture in an Age of Distraction

Beginning with a biblical view of creation, work, and individual creativity, the author shows clearly that a free enterprise system is rooted in the principles of Scripture and backed by the lessons of history. Avoiding the extremes of a "health and wealth" gospel, on the one hand, and a "poorer than thou" mentality, on the other, the author calmly strikes a balance uncharacteristic of other works on this subject.
