Widely recognized as a creative, insightful writer, Robert Farrar Capon offers still more of his uniquely provocative fare in The Mystery of Christ... and Why We Don't Get It.

When Scottish lay theologian Thomas Erskine's book The Unconditional Freeness of the Gospel was published in 1828, it provoked a storm of controversy throughout his Calvinist homeland. The ideas expressed in the book were violently attacked as being radical, unwarranted, and heretical, and yet, by the turn of the twentieth century, those same ideas that had been so heatedly condemned when first presented had become common stock in the Christian world-ideas...

Why is the Bible so violent and bloody?
How can God's behavior in the Old Testament be reconciled with that of Jesus in the New?
Do you find yourself trying to rationalize God's violent demeanor in the Bible to unbelievers or even to yourself?
Does it seem disconcerting that God tells us not to kill others but He then takes part in some of the bloodiest wars and vindictive genocides in history?
The answer to all such questions is found in Jesus...

Definition: Election. It is not uncommon to find the word 'election' defined in a Bible dictionary as 'chosen by God for salvation' or something similar. Many dictionaries and lexicons include an alternate definition: 'choice, select, best in its class.' A close look at the New Testament will reveal a number of passages where this word occurs without a clear indication of the intended definition. In these passages, how are we to determine which was...

God grabbed hold of a Presbyterian pastor to take him to the religion of Messianic Jews. What follows is a mystery story that reveals answers to the dilemmas in a problematic faith. In traditional rabbinic Judaism it is blasphemy and in church doctrine it is heresy. But, as a third biblical religion with its own soteriology it is neither false nor mistaken.
Untying the knot of contradictions in Messianic Judaism sheds light on the eminence of Judaism...

Todos los temas que caen dentro del ámbito de la Teología Bíblica son prácticos, porque el mensaje de la Revelación-desde la noción de Dios hasta el estudio de "las últimas cosas"-es "doctrina de vida" y destinada a suministrar una "nueva vida" por la acción del Espíritu, y a vivificar toda la "praxis" de una persona ya regenerada. Pero hay dos materias especialmente prácticas: la Ética Cristiana que, por definición, se refiere a la conducta...

In the opening pages of Scripture, we read of God's covenant with Adam and all he represents (humanity). If Adam obeys the covenant he will live, yet if he disobeys, he and all in him, will die. Upon the fall of Adam in Gen 3 we read of another covenant, an unconditional one, of the serpent bruising the Seed of the Woman's heel and the Seed of...

But have you ever wondered WHY God did it that way? Was it a whim? He just felt like it? Or was their a logic and a pattern?
