"fascinating. . . compelling . . . the final act blazes with solid action" KIRKUS REVIEW "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished..." Revelation 10;7 They murdered Duke Nolan's family... They stripped his brain naked... They should've used a bomb... A black hole forms at the Pentagon; thousands of airplanes drop from the sky; Earth's core obliterates New Zealand; and a blizzard strikes Vatican City in mid-June. Things are about to get a lot worse when it's all-out war between God, the US military, science, evolution, an alien civilization...and Duke Nolan. At stake? The extinction of all humankind. Nineteen year old Duke Nolan is a born loser until one fateful night when he comes face to face with the harshest reality any person could possibly endure. That night Duke is set on a collision course to save Earth from the maniacal plans of a madman...who also happens to be the US secretary of defense. Shoulder-harness yourself to your chair and hold on to your loved ones while Michael Allen Hunt's debut about the future of Earth rides the rails of complete annihilation. Thirty-seven years pass since that fateful night, and Duke keeps it a secret from everyone except his wife and three children. One day, top secret military files mysteriously show up on his home computer, and Duke learns that the US Air Force has built a spacecraft and hidden it below Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Now the nightmares of his past come crashing down on him, and Duke immediately realizes what he must do: sacrifice everything and destroy the OPLAR Spacecraft before it becomes operational...or all humankind will go extinct. Secretary of Defense Donovan Beasley has siphoned three hundred million dollars from US coffers during the OPLAR Spacecraft's twenty-year construction. Like Duke, Beasley knows what will happen when the OPLAR Spacecraft becomes operational...and has his own reasons for wanting it to happen. Beasley is alerted to Duke's secret and his impending mission, and he orders Duke terminated, triggering a war between the former loser and the most powerful military in the history of the planet. A genre-bending apocalyptic thriller of epic proportions, Hunt explores the relationship between God, science, evolution, humankind, and alien civilizations-all the while stretching your concept of reality at the speed of light. Probing our world for clues that defy current logic and connecting seemingly unrelated phenomena, Naked Brain will have you on the edge of your seat as the strands are woven together in an epic, final confrontation.

Sanctification

Sanctification

Michael Allen

Zondervan
2017
nidottu
Sanctification—the act or process of becoming holy—is one of the gifts of the gospel of Jesus Christ, but it's often misunderstood by the modern church. Sanctification offers a Christ-centered and clear account of the doctrine by viewing it within its wider biblical and historical context.Churches too often allow their definitions of holiness to be prompted by existential goals or the social mores of the Christian community. It's not surprising, then, that many view holiness as accidental or expendable, even as a legalistic posture opposed to the freedom of the gospel and separate from the gift of grace.Sanctification (part of the New Studies in Dogmatics series), defines holiness in theological terms by:Providing a framework by discussing the core Christian doctrines associated with it, such as the character of God, the nature of creation, and the covenantal shape of life with God.Considering the ways in which the gospel of Jesus not only prompts us to holy action but provides holiness as one of its blessings.Attending to the ways in which the gift of sanctification relates to human means, so that we can appreciate its connection to human nature, responsibility, and the pedagogy of exemplars and of law.-ABOUT THE SERIES-New Studies in Dogmatics seeks to retrieve the riches of Christian doctrine for the sake of contemporary theological renewal. Following in the tradition of G. C. Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics, this series provides thoughtful, concise, and readable treatments of major theological topics, expressing the biblical, creedal, and confessional shape of Christian doctrine for a contemporary evangelical audience.The editors and contributors share a common conviction that the way forward in constructive systematic theology lies in building upon the foundations laid in the church's historic understanding of the Word of God as professed in its creeds, councils, and confessions, and by its most trusted teachers.

The Best Ways to Teach Primary Science: Research into Practice

Michael Allen

Open University Press
2016
nidottu
Shortlisted for the ASE Book of the Year Award 2017. This book provides an exceptional insight into how children learn science, as well as which teaching approaches have been found to be most successful. Drawing on the significant body of research carried out over the past 35 years, the book provides valuable evidence about which tried-and–tested approaches enhance learning and help children actually learn science. The book:• supports you in becoming more effective in teaching primary science• offers a reliable evidential base, founded on significant research findings• helps you make informed choices about which approaches to use in your teaching repertoire• provides support for completing your written assignmentsOverall the text helps you develop your knowledge and understanding of primary science, as well as how best to plan for teaching this important subject. Insights into how children best learn science, together with practical teaching ideas that have been tested in a systematic way, makes this an essential book for primary teachers in training and an invaluable guide for primary teachers teaching science in Key Stages One and Two.“This book makes a major, evidence-based contribution to teaching science in the primary school. It provides a solid grounding for busy teachers to access and use research findings to enhance their professional development and practice. Each chapter provides comprehensive coverage of a science topic, including: revision of subject knowledge; research findings on children's ideas; learning progression; suggested ways to teach, and research exemplars and lesson outlines. This book is a valuable resource for student teachers and for teachers with many years of experience. It is an indispensable addition to every primary teacher’s bookshelf and every university education department.”Rob Toplis, recently Senior Lecturer in Science Education, Brunel University, UK“This is a great ‘why to…’ and ‘how to…’ book. Michael Allen’s use of progressive understanding underscores both the unfolding stories of primary science alongside children’s developing grasp of the key ideas involved. His work is based on a wealth of research that provides the basis for the ‘why to…’ in curriculum organisation and planning. This is then brought to bear on considerable professional experience and classroom practice to provide the ‘how to…’ for teachers, covering a range of important topics in primary science. An excellent compendium of rationales and resources.” Mike Watts, Professor of Education, Brunel University, UK

The Christ's Faith

The Christ's Faith

Michael Allen

T. T.Clark Ltd
2009
sidottu
The Christ's Faith coheres with orthodox Christology and Reformation soteriology, and needs to be affirmed to properly confirm the true humanity of the incarnate Son. Without addressing the interpretation of the Pauline phrase pistis christou, this study offers a theological rationale for an exegetical possibility and enriches a dogmatic account of the humanity of the Christ.The coherence of the Christ's faith is shown in two ways. First, the objection of Thomas Aquinas is refuted by demonstrating that faith is fitting for the incarnate Son. Second, a theological ontology is offered which affirms divine perfection and transcendence in qualitative fashion, undergirding a Chalcedonian and Reformed Christology. Thus, the humanity of the Christ may be construed as a fallen human nature assumed by the person of the Word and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.The dogmatic location of The Christ's Faith is sketched by suggesting its (potential) function within three influential theological systems: Thomas Aquinas, federal theology, and Karl Barth. Furthermore, the soteriological role of the doctrine is demonstrated by showing the theological necessity of faith for valid obedience before God.

Reformed Theology

Reformed Theology

Michael Allen

T. T.Clark Ltd
2010
sidottu
This book introduces Reformed theology by surveying the doctrinal concerns that have shaped its historical development. The book sketches the diversity of the Reformed tradition through the past five centuries even as it highlights the continuity with regard to certain theological emphases. In so doing, it accentuates that Reformed theology is marked by both formal ('the always reforming church') and material ('the Reformed church') interests. Furthermore, it attends to both revisionary and conservative trends within the Reformed tradition. The book covers eight major theological themes: Word of God, covenant, God and Christ, sin and grace, faith, worship, confessions and authority, and culture and eschatology. It engages a variety of Reformed confessional writings, as well as a number of individual theologians (including Zwingli, Calvin, Bullinger, Bucer, Beza, Owen, Turretin, Edwards, Schleiermacher, Hodge, Shedd, Heppe, Bavinck, Barth, and Niebuhr).

The Fear of the Lord

The Fear of the Lord

Michael Allen

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
sidottu
This volume examines what it means to proceed in the path of wisdom by beginning with fear of God, that is, mindfulness always and everywhere of God’s being and presence. Michael Allen describes the praxis of fearing the Lord, how that posture of contemplative pursuit marks the theological task and defines our theological method; in so doing it takes up the significant topics of divine revelation, theological exegesis, intellectual asceticism, and retrieval/ressourcement from a distinctly doctrinal perspective. In each of these conversations, doing theology in the presence of God functions as a consistent thread. God is not mere object but truly functions as subject in the process of theological growth, though God’s presence and agency fund rather than negate creaturely theological responsibility.The Fear of the Lord: Essays on Theological Method explores some of the most central questions of contemporary theological method – revelation, Scripture, theological interpretation, retrieval, intellectual asceticism, scholastic method – by asking in each and every case what it means to think fundamentally of the perfect and present God involved and active in these spheres.

The Knowledge of God

Michael Allen

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
sidottu
The Knowledge of God turns to consider the knowledge of God revealed in the Word of God, with several essays addressing the doctrine of God, then the person of Christ, and finally the miracle of the church.Michael Allen shows the exegetical shape of historical and dogmatic reasoning as well as the significance of thinking about these topics in their interrelationships with a range of other Christian themes, not least the doctrine of the living and true God. In each of these topics, the theme of the promise and nature of God’s presence (whether in his own life or then in the economy of the incarnation and of the church) proves to be a unifying thread. The gospel is shown to be rooted backward in God’s own life and to have consequence forward for the ongoing life of Christ displayed in his church.This volume explores what it means to learn of and come to know God, who has life in himself and then shares his life with us in the coming of his Son and the ongoing presence amidst his body, the church of Christ.
