Two Kinds of Righteousness:5 reviews
E. W. Kenyon
Kenyon Gospel Publishers, 1981
a stunning masterpiece, liberating and exciting!
This book puts into perspective how God sees man. We are in union with God right now. We mustn't wait until Heaven. Such deep Bible truths made perfectly simple and easy to understand. There is no need to walk in shame or defeat when victory is ours through Jesus Christ. This book taught me how to rise to Gods level rather than try to fit God into my level. Every christian MUST read this ...

Theodore Roosevelt: Preacher of Righteousness 1 review
Joshua David Hawley
Yale University Press, 2008
Theodore Roosevelt : Creature of Rightousness
The book is more technical than I had anticipated. More appropriate for "scholars" not someone who enjoys reading as a hobby.

Counted Righteous in Christ: Should We Abandon the Imputation of Christ's Righteousness?10 reviews
John Piper
Crossway Books, 2002
Effectively Plugs the Leak on Justification
John Piper is among the most respected American pastors of our day, in part because he comprehensively integrates pastoral theology with biblical and systematic theology in a way that produces a full-orbed Christian perspective and grounding. In this book, Piper focuses on the imputation of righteousness that is central to the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone. Many giants of ...

For those who love the gospel and enjoy time basking in its glorious truth this book is a treasure. The writing style of Bridges and Bevington is clear and ...

The Story of Romans3 reviews
Katherine Grieb
Westminster John Knox Press, 2007
This will help you make sense of Paul
As a former student of Dr. Grieb, I was pleased to find her fine biblical scholarship and down-to-earth approach now available in book form. Paul was problematic for me for many years. Kathy Grieb helped me learn to appreciate the apostle. I intend to use this book for a Bible study I am leading next month. Thanks, Kathy and WJK Press!

The Image of Righteousness: You're More Than You Know4 reviews
Creflo A. Dollar
Harrison House, 2002
A must read for every Christian!!
I personally recommend this book to EVERY believer. I have purchased a few more copies of this book to lend out to others. People need to know who they are in Christ Jesus!! When you are the righteousness of God, you are not a sinner saved by grace. You WERE a sinner, but since you've been born again, that nature is nowhere to be found in you. When you accept Jesus as your Savior, you are ...

A MUST READ FOR ALL SERIOUS CHRISTIANS
This book has more wisdom in it than I have read from one author in a very long time. But only read this with an open mind and a willing heart. If you follow this book you will have so much more understanding and closeness to the savior. I now understand what it means to fear a truely awesome and holy God.

David Clotfelter

Highly recommended as an essential guide to understanding God's judgment and mercy. Clotfelter presents the differing views of serious Christian theologians, past and present and holds them up to the light of Scriptural evidence. This is a well-referenced work which offers a fair-minded, compassionate analysis of the concepts of heaven and hell from different schools of thought, always bringing ...

Woodrow Michael Kroll
AMG Publishers, 2002
Excellent commentary
I purchased this book because I am teaching a class on Romans.
It's a great resource for anyone wanting to use a great, direct commentary that is relevant for today's readers.
Woodrow Kroll is best known for his involvement with Back to the Bible. He does an excellent job of making the book of Romans approachable to the reader.
There is not an exhaustive covering of every position on the ...

The Prophet of the Dead Sea Scrolls: The Essenes and the Early Christians-One and the Same Holy People. Their ... 3 reviews
Upton Clary Ewing
Progressive Press, 1994
True Christianity
This book is an eye-opener for anyone who considers him or herself a Christian. It shows how the early Church sprang from the sect Jesus was raised in, the Essenes, who had prepared for generations for His coming. As St. Augustine wrote, "what is now called the Christian religion existed even among the ancients, and was not lacking from the beginning of the human race until Christ came." As a ...

Extreme Righteousness: Seeing Ourselves in the Pharisees5 reviews
Tom Hovestol
Moody Publishers, 1997
Our Best Frie3nds, The Pharisees
Unlike the misconception of most, the Pharasees were rightreous people in many ways. They were rooted in the scriptures, and zealously seeked to both teach and walk in the law. They are strikingly almost identical with the many churches we have today. Some were harsh and fundamental, while others were merciful and flexible. But as history shows their love for being good at both the scriptures and ...

The Saving Righteousness of God: Studies on Paul, Justification and the New Perspective1 review
Michael F. Bird
Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2007
Get a Birds-eye-view on the NP
Although he is a "historical Jesus specialist and Synoptic Gospels kind-a-guy," Michael Bird is also an insightful academic that has been well versed in reformed and revisionist readings of Paul; being such, in this monograph he is conversant with the aggressive questions that have both camps up in arms. Evenhandedly, the book embarks upon the fundamental issues and finds both parties lacking in ...

Jesus' Blood and Righteousness: Paul's Theology of Imputation5 reviews
Brian Vickers
Crossway Books, 2006
Academic writing -- payoff being enriched by justification truths
Towards the end of his book, Brian Vickers writes, "The present work relies on a mixture of exegesis and synthesis to argue for imputation. Hopefully this synthesis is based on exegesis, because the goal has never been to argue for imputation on purely `theological' or traditional grounds, though the question derives from traditional Protestant, particularly Lutheran and Reformed, categories" (p. ...

The Way of All Flesh1 review
Samuel Butler
Adamant Media Corporation, 2000
The Definitive Book About Dysfunctional Families
It has been frequently observed that those who write history define it, and so it is with this wonderful novel which is, in large part, Butler's autobiography. Reviewers speak of it as having blown the lid off Victorian society; in fact, it is timeless, ruthlessly dissecting the behavior of several generations of an abusive family where the only rule is "Every man for himself." Those who grew up ...
