Take Courage is a collection of essays, written by pastors and professors, about the care and cure of souls in the 21st century. As spiritual physicians, pastors are called to diagnose and treat all those suffering with the disease of sin. This noble task requires much from these undershepherds who are placed over Christ's flock. Yet the Good Shepherd himself has provided the effective tools of this healing art: the life-giving word and sacraments. Pastors, then, specialize in applying the medicine of forgiveness and bringing comfort to broken consciences. Collectively, these essays teach and expound upon this theme.This helpful book honors the 45 years of faithful service given by one such undershepherd, Harold L. Senkbeil. As a pastor, seminary professor, author, speaker, husband, father, and the executive director of DOXOLOGY, Senkbeil has consistently provided competent treatment for both laity and pastors by distributing the forgiveness won by Jesus on the cross.

Dr. Clifford selects some of the most prominent lawyers of modern times to sift through the evidence on the most influential figure of history. He describes the lawyers’ professional backgrounds, outlines their contributions to this 2000-year-old debate and reinforces their conclusions by some careful research of his own. A compelling case is made for the familiar claim of the Apostles’ Creed: “On the third day he rose again.” While the author believes that “the evidence would convince a court of law,” he argues that we can’t leave the matter there. The phenomenon of the resurrection strikes at the very heart of who we are and how we view human existence.

The selections comprising this Reader have been chosen from a wide variety of works relating law and theology, including a number of long out-of-print 17th and 18th century works defending Christian truth on the basis of legal method.The purpose of this compilation is to introduce first-year law students to the great issues of jurisprudence, in line with the conviction of the editor that the meaning and significance of the law ought to ground all study of legal particulars. Only thus can legal education rise above the level of the sophisticated trade school, law graduates become true professionals rather than mere technicians, and the profession itself regain the stature it held when the word attorney made one think of the Inns of Court rather than the corruption of Watergate, junk bonds, Enron and the Great Financial Crisis.
