What is the meaning of the word faith? Current society believes that faith is to have endless trust or confidence in something. But Christians believe this trust and never-ending confidence isn't just in something. It's in God. The true interpretation of faith is shown by historical events in the New Testament such as Jesus' birth and crucifixion. God's followers put their trust in Him and believed He would one day send His son to die for the forgiveness of sins. The original definition in the New Testament is the Greek concept of faith called pistis. Pistis means that God's followers have complete confidence in Him and believe He is the creator of all things, loves all His people, and will one day return for them. Rev. Dr. Alvin J. Schmidt explores how society has slowly been shifting away from this definition over time and discusses how Christians can help restore the true meaning of faith.

When you hear the phrase "spiritual warfare," you might think of angels and demons, exorcisms, and demonic encounters.

Both instructional and devotional, each chapter of Equipped focuses on a piece of the armor of God from Ephesians 6 and how you are equipped in Christ to resist the evil one in your everyday life to find healing, understanding, and peace.

About this VolumeThis volume contains theses that Martin Luther drafted (sometimes with the help of his colleague Philip Melanchthon) and the records of Luther's prefatory orations and the arguments made by Luther and his students and colleagues in the university disputations over which he presided between 1537 and 1545.These disputations offer Luther's extended systematic exploration of the central doctrines of Christian theology, drawn from his mature reflection on the Bible, the medieval theological tradition, and the church fathers, in dialogue and debate with his contemporary opponents. They are an invaluable resource for students of Luther, historians of the Reformation, and contemporary theologians.About the SeriesThoroughly researched and faithfully translated, the Luther's Works series consists of Martin Luther's Bible commentaries, sermons, prefaces, postils, disputations, and letters-translated and published in English for the first time.

Luther's Works: The American Edition, published by Concordia and Fortress Press between 1955 and 1986, comprises fifty-five volumes. These are a selection representing only about a third of Luther's works in the Latin and German of the standard Weimar Edition, not including the German Bible.On October 22, 1512, the faculty of the still newborn University of Wittenberg welcomed an ominous new colleague to its body. Martin Luther was taken under the wing of none other than the vicar general of the German Augustinian order: Johann von Staupitz. Luther quickly advanced in honor and prestige. Once settled down and committed to university life, Luther took up his new lifework with enthusiasm. Before a year had passed, the Chronicle of Johann Oldecorp recorded: "At this same time [1513] M. Luther began to lecture on the Psalter of David. He was very busy with this and had many hearers." The lectures were indeed given in the traditional fashion, but there was something new in them nevertheless, something that was talked about then and that drew "many hearers."Even the modern reader of Luther's notes for these lectures can hardly escape noticing that the message, compared with that of other contemporary lectures, reveals greater individual involvement in the message being expounded. The prime emphasis is constantly on Christ as the center of the whole Psalter. The lecturer is dealing not with idle academic definitions but with the issues of life and salvation that affect the speaker and hearer directly and personally. This is where Luther's theology begins, and so these First Lectures on the Psalms (1-75) are often called initia theologiae Lutheri.

Martin Luther has been the subject of hundreds of biographies in the last five hundred years, stretching back to his own autobiographical efforts, which were quickly supplemented by his colleagues, friends, and students as they sought to reflect on the significance of his life and teaching.This collection of seven biographical writings on the reformer features some of the earliest written sources on Luther's life, available for the first time in English. Written by those closest to him, these are accurate and direct accounts of Martin Luther's life and his impact on the world.
