These heroes of the city of God—Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and others—come to flesh and blood in ways that undo our normal assumptions. In stark contrast to the selfish heroism of pagan literature, the heroism of Genesis triumphs by breaking all the standard rules. Jordan inverts so many of the traditional negative judgments against these patriarchs' alleged weaknesses and "sins" of deception, struggle, and tyranny that they stand forth as heroes rather than scoundrels.

And yet this book is not just about the heroes of Genesis. Throughout, Jordan draws a picture of how Christian culture should be imagined and lived in our own day, from creativity and work to tyranny and freedom. You will never be able to read Genesis the same way again.]]> 278395 4.17 136 38 2001 1188870 1885767625 9781885767622 6 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181756789m/1188870.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181756789s/1188870.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1188870.Creation_in_Six_Days_A_Defense_of_the_Traditional_Reading_of_Genesis_One 3.78 18 278395 4.17 136 38 1999 1382242 1579102484 9781579102487 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183136448m/1382242.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183136448s/1382242.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1382242.The_Sociology_of_the_Church_Essays_in_Reconstruction 4.45 11 278395 4.17 136 38 1986 6421341 9780975391495 4 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240570544m/6421341.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1240570544s/6421341.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6421341-the-liturgy-trap 3.83 6
This cure, however, is far worse than the disease. The answer to the weaknesses of Evangelicalism is not a turn toward the fallacies and errors of Rome, Orthodoxy and Anglo-Catholicism, but a return to Biblical patterns of worship.

Just as there is true and false doctrine, so there are true and false worship patterns. In this book, James B. Jordan sorts out the true and the false in the area of worship practice, discussing the cult of the saints, the veneration of icons, apostolic succession, virginity and celibacy, the presence of Christ at His Supper, and the doctrine of tradition. ]]> 278395 4.17 136 38 2008 2994219 091581563X 9780915815630 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2994219.The_Handwriting_on_the_Wall_A_Commentary_on_the_Book_of_Daniel 4.00 4 278395 4.17 136 38 2007 499647 1579102492 9781579102494 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175276287m/499647.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175276287s/499647.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/499647.Judges_A_Practical_and_Theological_Commentary 4.00 4 278395 4.17 136 38 1999 6420332 0975391488 9780975391488 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6420332-the-vindication-of-jesus-christ 4.00 2 278395 4.17 136 38 2008 7095929 0984243917 9780984243914 2 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7095929-crisis-opportunity-and-the-christian-future 4.33 3
In this striking book, theologian James B. Jordan argues that this cultural change is part of God's ongoing plan for humanity, the plan by which the Holy Spirit grows God's daughter, humanity, into a fit bride for His Son.

The present crisis provides a tremendous opportunity for the Christian Church to challenge and transform the world as never before. Here, Jordan points to how this can be done.

While many view the present crisis with dismay, and are looking backwards to older traditions, Jordan argues that God is calling us forward, and that the Bible points the way.]]> 278395 4.17 136 38 2009 3109978 0939404109 9780939404100 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3109978.Judges_Gods_War_Against_Humanism 4.00 3 278395 4.17 136 38 1985 1563527 0930464028 9780930464028 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185258723m/1563527.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185258723s/1563527.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1563527.The_Law_of_the_Covenant 3.33 3 278395 4.17 136 38 1984 1563525 0930464338 9780930464332 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1563525.The_Covenant_Enforced_Sermons_on_Deuteronomy_27_and_28 4.50 2 30510 4.21 442 91 278395 4.17 136 38 1990 6692774 0915815885 9780915815883 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6692774-reading-the-bible-again-for-the-first-time 4.00 2 278395 4.17 136 38 2008 1563526 0930462211 9780930462215 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238980603m/1563526.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238980603s/1563526.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1563526.Healer_of_the_Nations_Biblical_Blueprints_for_International_Relations 5.00 1 167726 3.60 129 36 278395 4.17 136 38 1987 4781622 0939404117 9780939404117 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4781622.The_Reconstruction_of_the_Church_A_symposium 4.00 1 278395 4.17 136 38 1985 3109983 0930464222 9780930464226 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238980052m/3109983.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238980052s/3109983.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3109983.Covenant_Sequence_in_Leviticus_and_Deuteronomy 0.0 0 278395 4.17 136 38 1989
