The Failure of Natural Theology: A Critical Appraisal of the Philosophical Theology of Thomas Aquinas (Jeffrey D. Johnson)
$19.95Aristotle’s cosmological argument is the foundation of Aquinas’s doctrine of God. For Thomas, the cosmological argument not only speaks of God’s existence but also of God’s nature. By learning that the unmoved mover is behind all moving objects, we learn something true about the essence of God—principally, that God is immobile. But therein lies the problem for Thomas. The Catholic Church had already condemned Aristotle’s unmoved mover because, according to Aristotle, the unmoved mover is unable to be the moving cause (i.e., Creator) and governor of the universe—or else he would cease to be immobile. By seeking to baptize Aristotle into the Catholic Church, however, Thomas gave his life to seeking to explain how God can be both immobile and the moving cause of the universe. Thomas even looked to the pantheistic philosophy of Pseudo-Dionysius for help. But even with Dionysius’s aid, Thomas failed to reconcile the god of Aristotle with the Trinitarian God of the Bible. If Thomas would have rejected the natural theology of Aristotle by placing the doctrine of the Trinity, which is known only by divine revelation, at the foundation of his knowledge of God, he would have rid himself of the irresolvable tension that permeates his philosophical theology. Thomas could have realized that the Trinity alone allows for God to be the only self-moving being—because the Trinity is the only being not moved by anything outside himself but freely capable of creating and controlling contingent things in motion.

The Five Points of Amillennialism (Jeffrey D. Johnson)
$8.95The Five Points of Amillennialism maintains that a right view of end times is founded upon a right view of the “bigger picture,” the storyline of Scripture. The grand narrative of the Bible displays that the Abrahamic covenant, Davidic covenant, New Covenant, and Second Coming all find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. He is the key that holds together the various threads of Scripture—and he alone is the key to properly understanding and making sense of the often dizzying, complex maze of “final things.” Rather than an offering of an endless series of charts, understanding amillennialism involves five simple points.

The Kingdom of God: A Baptist Expression of Covenant & Biblical Theology (Jeffrey Johnson)
$24.50The Kingdom of God: A Baptist Expression of Biblical & Covenant Theology explains why the maze of the Old and New Testaments cannot be properly navigated or understood without a knowledge of the dual (law and gospel) nature of the Abrahamic Covenant. For the law of the Old Covenant and the grace of the New Covenant flow out of the Abrahamic Covenant and are wonderfully reunited in the gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, out of the earlier dichotomy comes the later unity of the gospel message.
