Apenas somos conscientes de cómo la reforma protestante ha influido en nuestras vidas. Tras el atormentado antihéroe de las películas americanas, la autoimposición de la felicidad como un deber absoluto, la necesidad imperiosa de un triunfo profesional o las angustias de la soledad y el individualismo que nos abaten, podemos descubrir los ecos de una nueva antropología que trajo la Reforma protestante. La eclosión espiritual que implicó, llevó a innumerables grupos y congregaciones a buscar la pureza espiritual pero reflejada una moral y control público que hoy nos asustaría.

The year 2017 is the 500th-year anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany - the event that marked the beginning of the Reformation and the end of unified Christianity. For Catholics, it was an unjustified rebellion by the heterodox; for Protestants, the release of true and purified Christianity from centuries-old enslavement to corruption, idolatry, and error. Benjamin Wiker's account rejects the common distortions of Catholic, Protestant, Marxist, Freudian, or secularist retellings of this world-changing event.

The Gospel of Luke is a detailed account of the ministry and miracles of Jesus Christ. What many listeners don’t realize is that Luke, who was likely a Gentile, wrote his Gospel with a thorough knowledge of the Old Testament―pointing to Jesus’s life, ministry, and death as the culmination of Old Testament expectations and prophecy. In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, Benjamin L. Gladd explains the dominant biblical-theological themes in the Gospel of Luke, including the defeat of evil, peace in heaven and earth, the incorporation of the nations, and the kingdom of God.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830 in the so-called "burned-over district" of upstate New York, which was producing seers and prophets daily. Most of the new creeds flamed out; Smith's would endure, becoming the most significant homegrown religion in American history. In American Zion Benjamin E. Park presents a fresh, sweeping account of the Latter-day Saints.

Benjamin Franklin: Cultural Protestant follows Franklin's remarkable career through the lens of the trends and innovations that the Protestant Reformation started (both directly and indirectly) almost two centuries earlier. His work as a printer, civic reformer, institution builder, scientist, inventor, writer, self-help dispenser, politician, and statesmen was deeply rooted in the culture and outlook that Protestantism nurtured.

Renowned as a printer, scientist, and diplomat, Benjamin Franklin also published more works on religious topics than any other 18th-century American layperson. Born to Boston Puritans, by his teenage years Franklin had abandoned the exclusive Christian faith of his family and embraced deism. But Franklin, as a man of faith, was far more complex than the "thorough deist" who emerges in his autobiography.

It's one lived with hope engineered for adversity.

Something is terribly wrong in the world—we all feel it. The elite controlling our society commit heinous crimes with no punishment while Christians silently await a rescue rapture. Most in the Church expect increasing cultural demise before we escape. However, through His prophets of old, God already showed us what would happen—we just got the ending wrong. This book presents compelling, yet provocative evidence that Christians fail to discern the times, leading to unfulfilled destinies and needless fear-based paralysis.

To be helpless is to be hopeless, and to be hopeless is to be cheaply frustrated. Help is an inevitable element in the journey of life. The absence of it gives room to shame, reproach, and unnecessary delay, and many times it could lead to destruction. Help is an active force; it is a shame terminator and destiny transformer. When it is at work, it certainly turns situations around and aids timely accomplishments. Without help, the journey of life becomes a burden rather than a blessing.

Laird explores misunderstood, disputed, and overlooked matters tied to the composition, collection, and authority of the New Testament canon.

Benjamin B. Warfield (1851-1921) was Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. He discusses the human authorship of the scriptures and points out the divine authorship behind the human.

A life without encouragement is a life that will be easily limited in the journey of upliftment. If encouragement is missing, discouragement can cheaply endanger advancement. In the pursuit of progress in life, encouragement is a catalyst for advancement. Encouragement empowers destiny not to give but rather to push higher, keep going, and rise up. It is a spirit lifter and energy booster, and the presence, as well as the absence of it, surely makes great difference.
