Pressing into the Power takes you on a journey through the bondage of impossibilities and safely guides you to the realm of divine possibilities. Derek L. Calhoun, a duly consecrated and ordained bishop, laments the fact that we’ve become a society that struggles to discern right from wrong. He also observes how the COVID-19 pandemic, George Floyd protests, and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in Washington, D.C., have led many to lose hope—just like the Israelites in the days of Jonathan. But he contends the pandemic and other life-altering events were not a call to run and hide. They were a call to regroup and rise out of the ashes of obscurity. This book examines the power of forgiveness, the liberating power of faith, the intersection of faith and technology and, the transformative power of listening to the Lord. Discover a simplistic approach to moving closer to the Lord that allows you to break free from the routines of religion with the powerful insights in this book.

In this long-awaited edition of the late Robert Lowry Calhoun's lectures on the history of Christian doctrine, a powerful case is made for the scriptural basis of the ancient ecumenical creeds. The way Calhoun reads the patristic authors helps us see that the Trinitarian "three-yet-one" and Christological "two-yet-one" creedal formulations provide patterns for sorting out the highly diverse biblical ways of speaking of God and of the Messiah (Jesus) so that they are not contradictory. The implied lesson (all the more effective for many of Calhoun's students, just because he let them draw this conclusion by themselves) is that the creeds are not to be understood as deductions from scripture (which they are not in any straightforward way) but as templates for interpreting scripture. It is Trinitarian and Christological patterns of reading--which are implicitly operative for vast multitudes even in churches that profess to be creedless--that make it possible to treat the entire bible, Old and New Testaments together, as a unified and coherently authoritative whole.
Calhoun examines the centuries-old paradigm of just war theory to determine whether modern 'just war' rationalizations constitute sound justifications or pro-military propaganda. Her work reveals how the practice of modern war contradicts the most basic values and principles of modern Western democracies.
