If God is in control, are people really free? This question has bothered Christians for centuries. And answers have covered a wide spectrum. Today Christians still disagree. Those who emphasize human freedom view it as a reflection of God's self-limited power. Others look at human freedom in the order of God's overall control. David and Randall Basinger have put this age-old question to four scholars trained in theology and philosophy. John Feinberg of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Norman Geisler of Dallas Theological Seminary focus on God's specific sovereignty. Bruce Reichenbach of Augsburg College and Clark Pinnock of McMaster Divinity College insist that God must limit his control to ensure our freedom. Each writer argues for his perspective and applies his theory to two practical case studies. Then the other writers respond to each of the major essays, exposing what they see as fallacies and hidden assumptions. A lively and provocative volume.Stock Photos: The photos displayed within… Read More

March 8, 1862: a date best remembered for the duel between the ironclads USS Monitor and the CSA Merrimack at Hampton Roads, was also the date of the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas--the most important encounter in the Trans-Mississippi Theater--while in Washington, President Lincoln discussed the plans for the invasion of Richmond with General George McClellan, Commander of the Army of the Potomac. Until very recently warfare was, at best, a collection of independent actions by commanders in the field and their subordinates. Without modern communications general directives had to be interpreted on the battlefield--there was no way to check back with HQ. This important concept is made clear in The Civil War, Day by Day where we follow the action chronologically, seeing the different events happening on land, on sea, and in Washington and Richmond, often very independent of one another. Seven chapters follow the war between the North and the South, starting with the origins of Secession, the five years… Read More
