‘Pastoral, but also theological, and gives answers to many of the questions that people have about the person and work of Christ. A great book for evangelism.’ — JEFF KINGSWOOD

Book Description

Ichthus is the Greek word for a fish. Its five Greek letters form the first letters of the early Christian confession that ‘Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Saviour.’ To draw a fish sign meant: ‘I am a Christian.’

To be a Christian, according to the New Testament is to know Christ. But who is he, and what is the meaning of his life? In Ichthus Sinclair Ferguson and Derek Thomas answer these questions by taking us on a tour of nine key events in Jesus’ life and ministry. Their aim is to help us both understand and share the confession of those early Christians who drew the fish sign.

Ichthus is a book for everyone and anyone. It will help readers who are already Christians because of what it says about their Master. Those who are wondering exactly what it is Christians believe about Jesus should find many of their questions clearly answered. And those honest enough to admit that they have ignored, or even rejected Christianity but really could not explain what Christians believe about Jesus, will find these pages both clear and challenging.

Written by two friends who, between them, have been following Jesus Christ for a total of almost a hundred years, Ichthus will encourage you to share their faith in him.

El libro del Apocalipsis es la palabra final de Dios para la Iglesia: una impactante revelación de las cosas que Él quiere que esta conozca, expresada en un lenguaje y mediante unas formas que deslumbran y a menudo sobresaltan. Tal vez por ello muchos cristianos lo encuentren intimidatorio.

Derek Thomas escribe para disipar un poco ese miedo, y demuestra que el Apocalipsis es – por encima de todo – un libro acerca de Jesucristo: cuya intención, además de doblegar nuestro orgullo con una visión de la soberanía absouta de Dios sobre todo acontecimiento pasado, presente y futuro, es confortarnos en los momentos dificiles con el conocimiento de la victoria final de Cristo.

Derek Thomas nos guía a través de esta serie de siete visiones asombrosas que representan el desarrolo de aquellas palabras que Jesús le dijera Pedro: ‘Edifica’ mi iglesia: y las puertas del Hades no prevalecerán contra ella’.

Book Description

Paul’s letter to the churches of Galatia seems to burst on the reader like a sudden storm. The issues it raises still generate controversy, even after two thousand years of church history. In large measure this is because what was at stake when Paul wrote was the gospel itself. The question of whether human works were to play any part in the justification of sinners had to be answered clearly if the fledgling Christian movement was to prosper. And Paul was determined to answer it with total clarity. This explains the vigour and energy of his language, and the impact the letter has had down the centuries.

Derek Thomas explains the issues dealt with in the letter and refutes the contentions of the so-called ‘new perspective’ on Paul. His book is an important addition to this expanding series of study guides.

Book Description

Derek Thomas shows that amidst the language and forms that dazzle and shock the book of Revelation is above all a book about Jesus Christ. Thomas takes us through the series of seven visions which show the outworking of the words of Jesus to Peter: ‘I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’
