In Holy Spirit Baptism, Reformed theologian Anthony Hoekema develops a balanced, biblical perspective of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and its role in sacrament, regeneration, and empowerment.

Christians generally recognize the need to live a holy, or sanctified, life. But they differ on what sanctification is and how it is achieved. Five Views on Sanctification brings together in one easy-to-understand volume five major Protestant views on sanctification. Writing from a solid evangelical stance, each author describes and defends his own understanding of the doctrine, and responds as well to the views of the other authors.

Writing from the perspective that the coming of God’s kingdom is both present and future, Hoekema covers the full range of eschatological topics in this comprehensive biblical exposition. The two major sections of the book deal with inaugurated eschatology (the “already”) and future eschatology (the “not yet”). Detailed appendix, bibliography, and indexes.

According to Scripture, humankind was created in the image of God. Hoekema discusses the implications of this theme, devoting several chapters to the biblical teaching on God’s image, the teaching of philosophers and theologians through the ages, and his own theological analysis. This text is suitable for seminary-level anthropology courses, yet accessible to educated laypeople. It includes an extensive bibliography, and is fully indexed.

This collection gathers seven popular and enduring works from prolific writer and Reformed theologian Anthony A. Hoekema. Throughout these texts Hoekema brings both his compassionate council from his years as a pastor as well as his erudite expertise from his 25 years of work in academia as a professor of Bible and systematic theology at Calvin Theological Seminary. In books like Saved by Grace, The Christian Looks at Himself, and Created in God’s Image, Hoekema speaks of identity in Christ with experience from the trenches of ministry supported by a scholarly background in biblical theology. In The Bible and the Future, What about Tongue-Speaking?, Holy Spirit Baptism, and The Four Major Cults, he brings clear biblical answers to controversial questions within the church today.

Miracles, biblical inerrancy, hell, women in church leadership, creation, and the rapture—these are some key areas of concern for many in the church. With dozens of contributing authors from various theological backgrounds, the Zondervan Counterpoints series is an invaluable set of resources for Christians today, focusing on these topics and more. Each volume lays out multiple views on a particular theological matter, letting you draw your own conclusions on these contested issues. Respected biblical scholars and theologians present their views based on years of extensive research—so you know you’re hearing the strongest possible case for each perspective. Whether you are a student, pastor, teacher, youth worker, or layperson, these volumes are a fantastic tool for understanding contemporary Christian issues in the light of solid scriptural truth.

In this volume, Anthony Hoekema presents the doctrinal teachings of Mormonism, Seventh-Day Adventism, Christian Science, and Jehovah’s Witnesses using exclusively primary sources. He then outlines why he sees each as fundamentally incompatible with the core doctrines of Christianity.

A comprehensive, dynamic, and eminently practical presentation of the biblical teaching on salvation. In discussing the facets of the working out of salvation—the role of the Spirit, union with Christ, the gospel call, regeneration, conversion, repentance, and so on—Hoekema does away with the classical ordo salutis (“order of salvation”) by viewing these facets largely as simultaneous aspects in the process of salvation rather than sequential steps on the way to salvation.

The Christian Looks at Himself addresses the self-worth and self-image of Christians. Anthony Hoekema constructs a biblical vision of personal identity for Christians, saved by grace. We are new creations, not sinless or perfect, but loved by God nonetheless. Hoekema teaches Christians to see themselves in the same positive light that God sees us, and offers strategies for preachers and teachers to build up this essential self-image in Christian community.

In What about Tongue-Speaking? Hoekema presents a sensitive and balanced critique of this controversial subject. Using both the writings of Pentecostal theologians as well as the works of historical theologians and modern psychologists, he attempts to construct a biblical theology of speaking in tongues and spiritual baptism.

Para entender corretamente a escatologia bíblica, é preciso vê-la como um dos aspectos integrantes de toda a revelação bíblica. A escatologia não deve ser vista como algo encontrado apenas em livros como Daniel e Apocalipse, mas como doutrina que permeia toda a mensagem da Bíblia.

O entendimento Reformado das Escrituras começa com o reconhecimento da soberania de Deus em todas as coisas, incluindo nossa salvação. Um dos ensinamentos centrais da Bíblia, repetidamente ecoado, como o tema de uma sinfonia, é o de que somos salvos inteiramente pela graça, por meio da poderosa obra do Espírito de Deus, sobre a base da obra todo-suficiente de nosso Salvador, Jesus Cristo. Ao mesmo tempo, entretanto, a Escritura ensina que Deus nos salva, não como marionetes, mas como pessoas, e que devemos, então, ser ativos em nossa salvação. A Bíblia, de uma maneira misteriosamente profunda, combina a soberania de Deus com nossa responsabilidade no processo da salvação. Mas nós somente podemos amá-lo porque ele nos amou primeiro. A ele, portanto, seja todo o louvor.

Criados à Imagem de Deus forma com A Bíblia e o Futuro e Salvos pela Graça uma coleção de estudos bíblicos sobre três tópicos centrais da Teologia Reformada. Com cuidadosa análise bíblica e texto legível, esses livros de Anthony Hoekema ensinam com clareza os fundamentos teológicos de antropologia (Criados à Imagem de Deus), soteriologia (Salvos pela Graça) e escatologia (A Bíblia e o Futuro). “Neste livro, tentarei apresentar o que a Bíblia ensina a respeito da natureza e do destino dos seres humanos. O ensino de que o homem e a mulher foram criados à imagem de Deus é central para a compreensão bíblica do homem. Apresentarei a imagem de Deus como tendo um aspecto estrutural e um funcional, à medida que envolve o homem em sua tríplice relação – com Deus, com os outros e com a natureza – e passando por quatro estágios – a imagem original, a imagem pervertida, a imagem renovada e a imagem aperfeiçoada. Baseei meus estudos em uma avaliação cuidadosa de material bíblico relevante. O...
