While it is readily admitted that we learn in order to do, we are in need of guidance. It is with this in mind that Morris A. Inch set out to compose this present volume. Inch has taken as his inspiration the biblical injunction: "Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will" (Rom 2:12) and the graphic imagery concerning Christians derived from the Epistle of Diagnetus: "They dwell in their own countries, but simply as sojourners. As citizens, they share in all things with others, and yet endure all things as if foreigners. Every foreign land is to them as their native county, and every land of their birth as a land of strangers." One might gather from reading A Guide to Christian Ethics the necessary direction for a more true Christian faith and practice in our world today.
This text provides a novel approach to a critical issue--the potential of pain. Initially, the potential of pain is explored by way of paradise lost, as an explanation of why things are as we experience them. The book then entertains the classic Job narrative, as it pertains to addressing the question of why the godly suffer. The passion narratives next invite our attention and the collective voices of the martyrs appear as a logical extension of the sufferings of Christ. This leads into a more analytical treatment of the topic, highlighting key aspects of the extended discussion. Moreover, the text begins and concludes with examples meant to illustrate pain as a means of grace.
The family is the primary influence in an individual's life; one's home life when young has a profound impact on later disposition and behavior. The state of the family, therefore, has far reaching effects for modern culture as a whole. When the family suffers, so do not only the individual members but the culture itself. Thus, strengthening the family is of paramount importance for society as a whole. The Bible provides unique guidance for family matters, by way of pointed instruction and extensive illustration. What is needed in these modern times is a renewed look at the ways in which the family can be strengthened in the context of Biblical understanding. Thumbs Up for the Family provides invaluable instruction on how to enhance family life, along with extensive illustration by way of narrative; all of which is based on a sound scriptural foundation.

In this book, Morris A. Inch probes the relevance of chaos theory for theological studies. The author first studies chaos in the context of Biblical theology, providing a survey of the Biblical narrative that touches on both the Old and the New Testaments. He proceeds with a more systematic approach, offering two representative studies concerning mankind and the Holy Spirit. In the third and final section, Inch delves into subsequent historical developments by means of a study of Augustine's 'The City of God.

Among the fundamental tenets of Judaism is the conviction that the Messiah will redeem his people and usher in shalom (peace, well-being). Initiated in the Old Testament, this tradition winds its way through a variety of canonical and non-canonical sources with the Gospel of Matthew serving as a prime example. Morris Inch's new work casts the narrative of Matthew in terms of this vibrant Messianic tradition in an effort to gain fresh insights, explore ambiguous elements, and recognize unique contributions. Matthew in the Messianic Tradition explores how the Gospel of Matthew addresses the patriarchs and prophets; the early years of Jesus' life including discussions of Messiah ben David; and Jesus' public ministry, including the kingdom of heaven, blessedness, the Torah, Son of Man, discipleship, and ingathering. This detailed analysis of the Gospel of Matthew and the Messianic tradition will be of interest to students of the New Testament, the well-educated lay-person, and pastors.
Morris Inch "makes a case" for the truth of Christianity through a systematic survey of the historic beliefs of the faith, measured against the traditional arguments of its enemies. This is a strong claim for the credibility of the Christian faith.
