Is God to Blame? Moving Beyond Pat Answers to the Problem of Suffering
by Gregory A. Boyd
Paperback, 211 Pages, Published 2003 by Ivp Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8308-2394-9, ISBN: 0-8308-2394-8

"Is God to blame? This is often the question that comes to mind when we confront real suffering in our own lives or in the lives of those we love. Pastor Gregory A. Boyd helps us deal with this question honestly and biblically, while avoiding glib answers. Writing for ordinary Christians, Boyd wrestles with a variety of answers that have been offered by theologians and pastors in the past. He finds that a fully Christian approach mu ..."






Seeing Is Believing(1st Edition)
Experience Jesus through Imaginative Prayer
by Gregory A. Boyd
Paperback, 222 Pages, Published 2004 by Baker Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8010-6502-6, ISBN: 0-8010-6502-X

"One of the most common problems with Christians in our modern secularized world is that they don't feel the reality of Jesus. Sure, they believe in him and love him, but he somehow doesn't seem to enter their daily lives in a real sense. Some might say, "You ought to pray more." Others would advise, "You ought to witness more." While this may be true, we don't get closer to God just because we "ought to." Boyd believes that the way ..."






Benefit of the Doubt(1st Edition)
Breaking the Idol of Certainty
by Gregory A. Boyd
Paperback, 272 Pages, Published 2013 by Baker Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8010-1492-5, ISBN: 0-8010-1492-1

"In "Benefit of the Doubt," influential theologian, pastor, and bestselling author Gregory Boyd invites readers to embrace a faith that doesn't strive for certainty, but rather for commitment in the midst of uncertainty. Boyd rejects the idea that a person's faith is as strong as it is certain. In fact, he makes the case that doubt can enhance faith and that seeking certainty is harming many in today's church. Readers who wrestle with th ..."






God at War
The Bible and Spiritual Conflict
by Gregory A. Boyd
Paperback, 414 Pages, Published 1997 by Ivp Academic
ISBN-13: 978-0-8308-1885-3, ISBN: 0-8308-1885-5

"In this bold and compelling work, Gregory Boyd undertakes to reframe the central issues of Christian theodicy. By Boyd's estimate, theologians still draw too heavily on Augustine's response to the problem of evil, attributing pain and suffering to the mysterious "good" purposes of God. Accordingly, modern Christians are inclined not to expect evil and so are baffled but resigned when it occurs. New Testament writers, on the other hand, ..."






Letters from a Skeptic(Updated)
A Son Wrestles with His Father's Questions about Christianity
by Dr. Gregory A. Boyd, Edward K. Boyd
Paperback, 256 Pages, Published 2008 by David C. Cook
ISBN-13: 978-1-4347-9980-7, ISBN: 1-4347-9980-8

"Edward Boyd's agnosticism rested "not ... too much on any positive position ... but rather on a host of negative ones" about Christianity. In an attempt to address these negative issues, his son Greg, a professor of theology, asked his father, a strong-willed, highly intelligent, and stubborn 70-year-old, to enter into a correspondence in which "all of their cards would be laid on the table." Greg would give his father the opportunity t ..."






The Crucifixion of the Warrior God
Interpreting the Old Testament's Violent Portraits of God in Light of the Cross, Volume 1 & 2
by Gregory A. Boyd
Paperback, 1,492 Pages, Published 2017 by Fortress Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-5064-2075-2, ISBN: 1-5064-2075-3

" Renowned pastor-theologian Gregory A. Boyd proposes a revolutionary way to read the Bible in this epic but accessible study. His "cruciform hermeneutic" stands as a challenge to the field of biblical studies and to all thoughtful Christians. A dramatic tension confronts every Christian believer and interpreter of Scripture: on the one hand, we encounter Old Testament stories of God commanding horrendous violence. On t ..."

Escaping the Matrix(1st Edition)
Setting Your Mind Free to Experience Real Life in Christ
by Gregory A. Boyd, Al Larson, Escaping The Matrix
Paperback, 224 Pages, Published 2005 by Baker Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8010-6533-0, ISBN: 0-8010-6533-X

"In some way or another most of us are "stuck"-in a secret sin we can't control or maybe by an inability to stand up for ourselves. In Escaping the Matrix, authors Gregory A. Boyd and Al Larson use the vehicle of The Matrix film trilogy to argue that our struggles with habitual sin, thought patterns, damaged emotions, and phobias happen because we do not know how to take charge of the way we experience reality. The authors draw on biblic ..."






Repenting of Religion
Turning from Judgment to the Love of God
by Gregory A. Boyd
Paperback, 238 Pages, Published 2004 by Baker Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8010-6506-4, ISBN: 0-8010-6506-2

"We human beings are burdened by our tendencies to harshly judge others and ourselves. Unfortunately for believers, this bent is as prevalent in the church as in the world. Pastor and author Gregory A. Boyd calls readers to a higher standard through understanding the true manner in which God views humanity: as infinitely worthwhile and lovable. Only an attitude shift in how we perceive ourselves in light of God's love can impact h ..."






Oneness Pentecostals and the Trinity(1st Edition)
by Gregory A. Boyd
Paperback, 234 Pages, Published 1992 by Baker Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8010-1019-4, ISBN: 0-8010-1019-5

"What's special about Oneness Pentecostals?In this penetrating analysis of Oneness theology and practice, Gregory Boyd reveals the experience of four years of personal involvement in a Oneness church. Although Oneness Pentecostals' belief in Christ's deity establishes some common ground with other Christians, their aggressive denial of the Trinity has nonetheless fostered their indisputably sub-Christian ideas about God's character, abou ..."






God of the Possible
A Biblical Introduction to the Open View of God
by Gregory A. Boyd
Paperback, 176 Pages, Published 2000 by Baker Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8010-6290-2, ISBN: 0-8010-6290-X

"Does God ever change his mind? Is the future exhaustively settled, or does it include maybes? Why does God create certain people if he knows they are going to hell? Does God foreknow the outcome of every decision we will ever make? For some Christian thinkers, the traditional view that God always knows what will happen in the future raises biblical, theological, and philosophical questions. In this accessible, concise, and provocati ..."






Divine Foreknowledge
Four Views
by William Lane Craig, Gregory A. Boyd, David Hunt, Professor Paul Helm, Gregory Boyd, Paul Boyd Helm, James K. Beilby, Hunt Boyd
Paperback, 224 Pages, Published 2002 by Paternoster Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-84227-160-5, ISBN: 1-84227-160-1

"The question of the nature of God's foreknowledge and how that relates to human freedom has been pondered and debated by Christian theologians at least since the time of Augustine. And the issue will not go away. More recently, the terms of the debate have shifted, and the issue has taken on new urgency with the theological proposal known as the openness of God. This view maintains that God's knowledge, while perfect, is limited regar ..."

Hardcover, 208 Pages, Published 2006 by Zondervan
ISBN-13: 978-0-310-26730-0, ISBN: 0-310-26730-7

"The Path through Politics Is Not the Road to God When the kingdom of God is manifested, it will wear the face of Jesus Christ. And that, says author Gregory Boyd, has never been true of any earthly government or power. Through close examination of Scripture and lessons drawn from history, Dr. Boyd argues that evangelical Christians who align themselves too closely with political causes or declare that they want to bring America 'back to ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-5138-0019-6, ISBN: 1-5138-0019-1

"Does God's perfect plan really include this?When her young son was diagnosed with brain cancer, Jessica Kelley couldn't stomach Christian clichés. God's will? Divine design? The Lord's perfect plan? In Lord Willing?, Kelley boldly tackles one of the most difficult questions of the Christian life: if God is all-powerful and all-loving, why do we suffer? For Kelley, this question takes an even more painful and personal turn: did God lack ..."
