The Protestant Reformation is often associated most closely with Martin Luther, and it’s often considered to have started when Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. However, the Reformation cannot be reduced to a single, abrupt, and exceptional event, but must be traced to a much longer process of spiritual, social, and intellectual transformation that unfolded over the late medieval period.

Although the Counter-Reformation is sometimes also called the Catholic Reformation, the latter term properly refers to the set of measures of spiritual, theological and liturgical renewal with which the Catholic Church had attempted to reform its institutions even before the Council of Trent. During the Council of Constance, for example, the council fathers had already called for a reform "in the head and in the members", but it was only after the Protestant Reformation that this need became urgent, resulting in the application of the Tridentine conciliar provisions.

Today, affection for the Jewish people based on Romans 11 is thought to be an error rooted in the Post-war Consensus or Dispensationalism. But in this book Doug Wilson has assembled quotes from countless Reformed teachers, many untethered from the 20th century and its Left Behind series, each writing about what they believe the Bible really teaches about Romans 11. We must reject the mistakes made in 20th century theology. But we must not throw out our heritage as we do so.

Alguns tentam compreender os sonhos, mas nem todos têm a interpretação correta. Isso ocorre porque a interpretação certa de um sonho só se consegue com e em Jesus. O discernimento espiritual só é adequado e fidedigno na presença de Deus, já que o espírito do homem precisa estar conectado a Jesus e ao Espírito Santo para que se obtenha o entendimento certo. Podemos afirmar que os sonhos são mistérios, porque eles precisam ser revelados. É preciso ver a voz de Deus através da imagem, pois sonhar é ver a voz de Deus.

Revelation of God — Volume III concludes a three-volume philosophical exploration of consciousness, civilization, and responsibility.

As technology, artificial intelligence, and global integration accelerate, individual decisions increasingly participate in collective structures. Consequences scale faster, uncertainty deepens, and responsibility can no longer be delayed or externalized.

Today’s battles over Christianity in U.S. public schools have deep roots. In the nineteenth century it was an intramural struggle between Protestants and later-arriving Catholics. But at Christmastime in 1905, when Frank Harding, the Presbyterian principal of a Brooklyn elementary school, urged his Jewish students to be more like Jesus, the Jewish community entered the fray in a big way. It was just the trigger Orthodox Jewish activist Albert Lucas had been waiting for.

Before medical schools. Before clinical science. There were sanctuaries. Across the hills of ancient Greece, the sick traveled to quiet marble precincts dedicated to Asclepius — god of healing, son of Apollo, student of a centaur, and himself a figure both mortal and divine. They came not only for remedies, but for dreams.

And it is not only outside. It is in the air we breathe—fear, confusion, anxiety.

How could a conservative Christian an ordained minister with a beard, no less be against not only Christianity, but theology, sacraments, and ethics as well? Yet that is the stance Peter Leithart takes in this provocative "theological bricolage."Seeking to rethink evangelical notions of culture, church, and state, Leithart offers a series of short essays, aphorisms, and parables that challenge the current dichotomies that govern both Christian and non-Christian thinking about church and state, the secular and the religious. But his argument isn't limited to being merely "against.
