I started a new project, which will be a supplemental work to my last book. This will be another textbook on a survey on the whole Bible, equivalent to a 100 or 200 level collage course on New and Old Testament Survey. Hope to have it completed by the Summer of 2020. I will post progress updates as time passes.

Reid Ashbaucher Publications Announces the Release of a New Textbook called “Dispensational Theology: A Textbook on Eschatology in the Twenty-First Century”

TOLEDO, OH—June 11, 2019—Reid Ashbaucher Publications releases a new publication, a textbook on Dispensational Theology, a unique first for textbooks in this theological field.

The subject of Eschatology has been studied and written about for centuries. Various viewpoints based on differing hermeneutical perspectives have driven this subject in many directions, causing confusion as to how we should view end-times from a Biblical perspective.

Dispensational Theology: A Textbook on Eschatology in the Twenty-first Century, is informative, instructional, and systematic in its approach to eschatology, teaching from a dispensational perspective. This textbook, the first of its kind, has been developed from a college syllabus on premillennialism and provides a structured approach to a dispensational theology.

Dispensational Theology is designed for those majoring in Bible or Theology, who have already taken course work in New and Old Testament survey and completed one year of Bible Doctrine. This book is suitable for implementation into any College or Seminary program at a 300 or 400 level in an undergraduate program, or a 600 level in a Seminary program. If the minimum recommended course requirements for students have been met, this book could also be useful in Church or Mission Bible Institute programs, while providing another resource for any pastor or educator’s library.

INTERNAL STRUCTURE

This textbook provides a background and foundational structure for establishing a two-semester course while providing a path for discussions covering over two sections. The following topics will be the focus of discussions over fifteen chapters. Section One: Premillennialism: Defining the Terms; The History and Characteristics of Amillennialism; The History and Characteristics of Postmillennialism; The History and Characteristics of Premillennialism; Understanding the Kingdom of God; The Hermeneutics of Prophecy; Dispensations; Biblical Evidence for Premillennialism, and Evidence for Premillennialism in the New Testament Gospels. Section Two: The Distinction Between Israel and the Church; The Day of the Lord and The Day of Christ; The Tribulation Period; The Rapture and Related Events; The Second Advent and Related Events; The Millennium and Beyond.

B.A. degree in Comprehensive Bible from Cedarville University, Cedarville,

Well, its done! 258 pages and 444 footnotes later, I declare this project almost over. Final edit remains and book cover design is in the works. More up dates to come.

Re: Book Blog

Reid A. Ashbaucher — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 18:28:13 -0000

Just an update on my latest book on Dispensational Theology. I am working on the last two chapter, then a final edit will need to be done. So far the book is up to 230 pages with over 400 footnotes, over 84,000 words, a bibliography and two Appendices. Still looking to be completed by July. It's been a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. The work continues, more updates later.

Reid A. Ashbaucher — Sat, 23 Feb 2019 10:28:03 -0000

The completion of volume 1 of my new book is complete with nine chapters. After reviewing the outline for volume 2, I decided to combine both volumes under one cover, making it a single book divided into two parts. I think in the end this would be the best approach. This would guarantee that both parts are available at the same time, and those interested in the study would have all of the study within a single purchase. So, I am in the process of adding six more chapters and set a new target date for completion sometime in July of this year. More updates to come.

Re: Book Blog

Reid A. Ashbaucher — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 00:25:53 -0000

Well, I just complete chapter six of my new book with three more chapters to go, then the fun stuff of all the back end indexes and the bibliography. It is going a little quicker then I anticipated, and maybe the goal of this summer is looking more promising. Then on to volume 2.

Re: Book Blog

Reid A. Ashbaucher — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 14:22:46 -0000

Just an update on my current project. I am working on a two volume text book series on "Dispositional Theology," something I have stated I would try to do in past book projects. My goal is to have vol. 1 completed by summer 2019. We shall see.

Today I have release my new book "Conflict Within The Church: The Question of Homosexuality within the Christian Faith."

Conflict within the Church is a discussion on the compatibility of homosexuality within the Christian faith. This book’s target audience is Christendom and its church leaders worldwide.

This project started out over three years ago as a seventeen-page essay. Later I posted it online for comments. When a comment was posted that essentially said, “I have been married to a homosexual for over 20 years and what you say is true. I wish my pastor would take the same position you do,” I decided to turn that essay into a book. Since then, it has been sitting on my laptop for over two years. Now it’s September of 2018, and I have decided it’s time for pastors and the church at large to hear what this individual was referencing.

It is easy to take a position that is popular on this subject, but then, popularity was never what God was all about. It is my intent that the contents of this book reflect God’s point-of-view—and hopefully that matters.

I have finalized my decision to write a two volume textbook series on Eschatology, and have competed a draft to chapter one. This is to be an academic work to be taught as a 300, 400 or 500 level course. The first volume will be up for sale sometime before the next school year and the second volume by the mid term of next year. Stay tuned.

Now that all my books are all under one roof so to speak, I can now focus on a new project. I will be researching over the next year and hopefully putting together a new two book series on end times or the doctrine of last things. For those in the world of academia, the subject of Eschatology. Having completed two semesters in college on this topic, while over the years reading varies sources bringing some confusion to this subject, I have decided to make an attempt to bring clarity to this subject matter. Using the Scriptures and hopefully some sound reasoning, we will walk through all the various views and systematically present a clear view on what I would see as a reasonable and systematic approach to the subject matter of Eschatology. Perhaps to the level of College text book required reading. So stay tuned.

My first book published over six years ago called "Made in the Image of God: Understanding the Nature of God and Mankind in a Changing World" is going out of print as of July 31, 2017. I have taken this edition and have added about 10,000 words creating a "Revised Edition." As of July 31, 2017 this edition will be going out of print, because I have pulled all my books from the market and placed them under one label - my own. As of July 31, 2017 if you purchase any of my books as new purchases, you will see on the copyright page the label "Reid Ashbaucher Publication". "Made in the Image of God" is now available worldwide as a "Second Revised Edition" with its printed versions to be available starting some time next week. I hope you look for it.

Our discussion on the Nature of God continues.

As you will read in my book "Made in the Image of God" I break down the metaphysical make up of God into to two parts. These parts then become the focus of the book's discussions. The parts I am referring to are "Soul" and "Spirit", two parts that are not interchangeable, but are linked together forming the essence or make up of God. Spirit representing the single unifying nature of God and soul representing the three persons of God, reflecting God's attributes of personhood. How do I define soul or personhood? Soul is that part of God and Man that produces intellect, emotion and will. Spirit is that part of God and Man that reflects attitudes among other things. You can find these discussions starting in chapter two of my book, which includes helpful diagrams throughout the book to help those who learn better with visual aids.

I put together another talk and since then have turned that into another book project. The book should be less then a 100 pages but I am enjoying the process and gaining a better understanding of the subject matter. When one writes on any subject its exciting to see how you learn and come to understand things in a fuller way, then before. The things I write about are things that matter in our spiritual lives, but by researching and writing them down, makes the things you thought you had a grasp on more clear. Hope to have this book out by the Fall.

Reid A. Ashbaucher — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 00:37:09 -0000

As I was searching the Internet today, I noticed a great deal of interest in the subject of the nature of God. Because our world is so pluralistic in its approach to God, some have found it necessary to specify what god we are talking about. Thus, the God of Christianity is mentioned. After reading some blogs and thinking through the concepts discussed, I believe some comments about the nature of God would be in order here, since my book "Made in the Image of God" is the result of over 27 years of research on the nature of God and Mankind.

Some start this conversation with a rundown on all the attributes of God as the Scripture reveal them to us; but I think perhaps a different approach may be helpful in our contemplation to this vast subject. It has been said that this subject is unapproachable because of the finite mind of humanity. But after studying the subject for most of my life and praying for God's wisdom for his understanding of himself, God allowed me to author the book "Made in the Image of God: Understanding the Nature of God and Mankind in a Changing World. Since then the revised edition was just released, which provides another opportunity to speak to this subject in more detail.

Over the next few months I will use this forum to present to you some concepts that perhaps you may not have thought of before, in hopes to stimulate a discussion for all of us to think about. If you pass through here and read something that interest you, feel free to use the comment section of this blog to share any thoughts or observations to the discussion.

(The Nature of God)

The term "nature" as it references natural law, or as we speak of our universe, is defined to include everything under time and space and includes all forms of beings which have an effect on the natural universe. This leaves us with the question to how God fits into all that. The supernatural is a dimension many scientists do not acknowledge. So, how does the nature of God fit into all this, we will talk about that the next time we get together.

Hello everyone,

This post is an update on my new book, which is a revised edition of my first book "Made in the Image of God." The book has an additional 8,557 words, but do to reformatting the back end material, the book has about eight less pages. The interior design is complete, the ISBN's have been assigned, the prices have been set. The book cover design is next on the agenda, with a new book cover design on the board. The book's release date is October, but I am hoping for September. Whatever the date, I hope you investigate the new look and pickup a copy to read. I think the changes will help new and past readers come to a better understanding of the material, which is the goal. Thanks for stopping by!
