In a world where the veracity of the Old Testament is increasingly questioned, "DEFENDING OLD TESTAMENT AUTHORSHIP: The Word of God Is Authentic and True" serves as a timely and rigorous answer to skeptics and critics alike. This comprehensive volume not only dismantles higher criticism's skeptical claims about the Old Testament but also provides compelling evidence for its historical, theological, and moral integrity.Staring Down Higher CriticismThe book begins by dissecting the rise and influence of higher criticism, from the late dating theories of Julius Wellhausen to the unfounded assumptions of multiple authors based on language and style. With surgical precision, the work exposes the flaws, biases, and intellectual pitfalls of this critical approach, revealing its speculative nature and the erosion it causes to Biblical authority.A Book-by-Book DefenseFollowing the introduction, the book undertakes a chapter-by-chapter defense of individual Old Testament books, refuting arguments against their authenticity, authorship, and dating. From the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch to the historical reliability of the Books of History, from the wisdom literature to the Prophets, each chapter serves as a fortress of facts, standing firm against the tide of criticism.Special FeaturesIn addition to its primary content, the book also features an invaluable appendix addressing various Bible difficulties. This section offers practical principles for overcoming apparent contradictions, mistakes, and scientific errors in the Bible, thereby reinforcing the inerrancy and trustworthiness of Scripture.An Authoritative ReferenceWritten with scholarly depth and accessible language, this book serves as an authoritative reference for pastors, seminary students, Bible scholars, and anyone committed to defending the reliability of the Old Testament. Prepare to have your faith fortified and your understanding deepened as you discover why the Word of God is, indeed, authentic and true."DEFENDING OLD TESTAMENT AUTHORSHIP" is more than a scholarly rebuttal; it's a clarion call to uphold the sanctity and truth of Jehovah's Word in an age of skepticism.
The Culture War. How the West lost its greatness and was weakened from within outlines how the West lost its values, causing its current decline. It is a forceful attack on the extreme liberal, anti-religious ideology which since the 1960’s has permeated the Western culture and weakened its very core. The West is now characterized by strict elitist media censorship, hedonism, a culture of drug abuse, abortion, ethnic clashes and racial divide, a destructive feminism and the dramatic breakdown of the family. An ultra-rich elite pushes our nations into a new, authoritarian globalist structure, with no respect for Western historical values.Yet, even in the darkest hour, there is hope. This manifesto outlines the remedy for the current malaise and describes the greatness of our traditional and religious values that once made our civilization prosper. It shows how we can restore these values to bring back justice, mercy, faith, honesty, fidelity, kindness and respect for one another. Virtues that will motivate individuals to love one another, the core of what will make us great again.
THERE IS ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE between Christian living books by Andrews and those by others. Generally speaking, his books are filled with Scripture and offer its readers what the Bible authors meant by what they penned. In this publication, it is really God's Word offering the counsel, which is "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness." (2 Tim. 3:16-17) From the moment that Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, humans have been brought forth in sin, having become more and more mentally bent toward evil, having developed a heart (i.e., inner person) that is treacherous, and unknowable to them, with sin's law dwelling within them. Sadly, many of us within the church have not been fully informed as to the extent of our fallen condition and what has been done about it, as well as what role God has allowed us the privilege of playing in taking off our old person and putting on the new person. This publication will go to great lengths in answering these issues for its readers and will do so by depending soundly on the Word of God along the way.
In FOR AS I THINK IN MY HEART - SO I AM, Edward D. Andrews offers practical and biblical insights on a host of Christian spiritual growth struggles, from the challenge of forgiveness to eating disorders, anger, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, pornography, masturbation, same-sex attraction, and many others. Based on Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV): "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he," Andrews' text works from the position that if we can change the way that we think, we can alter the way we feel, which will modify the way we behave.¿ FOR AS I THINK IN MY HEART - SO I AM offers far more than self-help to dozens of spiritual struggles, personal difficulties, and mental disorders. It will benefit Christian and non-Christian alike. The Scriptural advice and counsel coupled with cognitive behavioral therapy will be helpful even if every chapter is not one of your struggles.¿ For As I Think in My Heart enables readers to examine the lies and half-truths they tell themselves repeatedly; lies, which as one argues, contribute to mental distress and a broad range of issues in their lives. In this text, Andrews seeks to wash those lies with biblical truth by combining biblical counseling with cognitive-behavioral therapy "to better understand our human condition" and give readers tools to overcome these challenges. This second edition has added five chapters, added material to several other chapters while keeping the page count down by dropping the font size.
THERE IS A GENUINE HAPPINESS, contentment, and joy, which come from reading, studying and applying God's Word. This is true because the Scriptures offer us guidance and direction that aids us in living a life that coincides with our existence as a creation of Almighty God. For example, we have a moral law that was written on our heart. (Rom. 2:14-15) However, at the same time, we have a warring against the law of our mind and taking us captive in the law of sin, which is in our members. (Rom. 7:21-25) When we live by the moral law, it brings us joy, when we live by the law of sin; it brings about distress, anxiety, regret to both mind and heart, creating a conflict between our two natures. In our study of the Bible, we can interact with a living God who wants a personal relationship with us. And in APPLYING GOD'S WORD MORE FULLY, we will learn how to engage His words like never before. Andrews helps his readers create the opportunity to grow in the faith through practical chapters that result in their spiritual growth whether they have been a Christian for a few months or many years. The biblically grounded information herein will help the reader overcome difficulties, grow and maintain a relationship with their Creator. The reader will learn to observe, understand, and apply the Bible to transform their life.
The reader will receive eight small introductory books in this one publication. Andrews' intention is to offer his reader several chapters on eight of the most critical subject areas of understanding and defending the Word of God. This will enable the reader to lay a solid foundation for which he can build throughout his Christian life. These eight sections with multiple chapters in each cover biblical interpretation, Bible translation philosophies, textual criticism, Bible difficulties, the Holy Spirit, Christian Apologetics, Christian Evangelism, and Christian Living. "'Deep' study is no guarantee that mature faith will result, but shallow study guarantees that immaturity continues."(p. xiii)-Dr. Lee M. Fields.
