Clifford Denton There can be no more contemporary issue than the rise of the New Age Movement. Indeed, the scope of this movement is so wide that it raises up a multitude of contemporary issues. Over the last twenty or thirty years it has emerged out of the hippie movement into a ‘respectable’ alternative religion […]

Tom Hamilton The idea of a first and therefore last Adam is very ancient in Hebrew thought. They believed in a last Adam which was to come in as much as they believed in the first. Paul, therefore, in writing to the church at Corinth, used these precise terms to show, on the one hand, […]

Arnold G Fruchtenbaum There is recognition on the part of believers that the Messiah has three offices: Prophet, Priest and king.

In apostolic times and briefly afterward the Jewish believer in Yeshua, while subject to […]

Louis Goldberg When most Gentile Christians are asked as to the status today of the Mosaic Law or Mosaic Covenant, the usual reply is that this covenant is no longer in force. A number of sources will be cited later on to this effect but generally the response is, based on an understanding of what […]

Tom Hamilton The importance of the Greek Middle voice in our understanding of the New Testament writings has perhaps not yet been fully realised. This is because if languages change, and govern our ability to think and express thought, then our ability to both express certain linguistic aspects of New Testament Greek in up-to-date English, […]
