THE ESKIMO'S CONUNDRUM
The Fate of Those Who Have Not Heard the Gospel
A thorny question that confronts many Christians is, What will be the fate of those living in remote places who have not heard about Jesus or the gospel? We know from God’s word, the Bible, that “there is no salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said with unbeatable clarity and exclusivity: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). So, how does one reconcile the exclusivity of the gospel for our salvation with the reality that some may die without ever hearing the gospel or the name of Jesus? What does the Bible say about the fate of such individuals? Are they lost forever, or does God have an alternate plan to save them? Furthermore, how can we resolve this tension in light of God’s justice and mercy? Over the years, scholars and evangelists have wrestled with this question and still do. There is no consensus among Bible scholars. Some believe it is a mystery, but God is merciful and will do what is right.
In this book, Abraham Philip attempts to answer this question based on his interpretation of the relevant Scripture passages and in harmony with the nature of God and the biblical paradigm that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. The purpose of this book is not to present a comprehensive or exhaustive treatment of this topic but to present a reasonable answer by examining the relevant biblical texts. The author invites the reader to consider with an open mind the explanation and reasoning offered in response to this challenging question.
THROWN OVERBOARD
A reluctant prophet’s encounter with a gracious God
If you are running from God, if the ups and downs of life make you feel like you’ve been thrown overboard into the sea, or if you are wondering what God is up to in your life, this book is for you. Today, many Christians are confused about the nature of God and His grace. Because distorted images of God beguile many in the church, they worship a God of their own making. In Thrown Overboard, Dr. Philip masterfully draws from the life of the rebellious prophet Jonah what we may learn about the nature of man, the nature of God, the work of God’s grace, and the redemptive ministry of Christ. The reader will gain a deeper insight into the wideness of God’s grace and how God works through our weaknesses to accomplish His purposes in our lives. It is a must-read for anyone who longs to have the heart of God.
BASIC STATISTICS IN QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Basic Statistics in Quantitate Research is a short and easy-to-read introduction to some of the standard statistical tests students in seminaries and Bible colleges need to know for doing quantitative research in biblical studies. In this book, the student will learn about variables, measuring scales, sampling a population, conducting surveys, developing a valid and reliable survey instrument, and using inferential statistics for analyzing the significance of the data gathered and ascertaining the relationship between variables within and between populations. The purpose of this book is not to provide an exhaustive treatment of all available statistical tools but to help seminarians and those without a technical background to gain an appreciation for quantitative research in biblical studies. This book aims to encourage such students to engage in the quantitative investigation without fear.

DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE
In Divorce and Remarriage: A Biblical Perspective, Abraham Philip takes a balanced and scripturally defensible approach to the complex subject of divorce and remarriage. He interacts with key biblical passages, keeping in view that God’s ideal is that a husband and wife remain bound together until separated by death. While divorce and remarriage may be permitted under certain conditions identified in Scripture, they are not encouraged; instead, the emphasis should be on forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration. The book’s purpose is not to give an exhaustive treatment of the subject of divorce and remarriage, but rather to distill and highlight the essential teachings of Scripture for strengthening one’s marriage and to provide a biblical perspective to those contemplating divorce.

LEADERSHIP IN THE CONCEPTUAL AGE
The task of being a leader in the present conceptual age is challenging. Leaders everywhere are confronted with the question, what does it take to lead in this shifting global economy characterized by an abundance of goods and services, increasing competition from Asia, and mind-boggling automation? If you think that mere technical competence and mastery of information would do, think again.
In this easy-to-read booklet, Dr. Philip describes how the current context of the American leader is changing and gives six critical practices that are required of every leader for effective leadership in our changing environment. These proven practices are drawn from published works, as well as his experience of training nationals in different countries and working in various leadership positions in the healthcare industry.

A Biblical Perspective
This short paper demystifies the concept of the generational curse and shows that it does not apply to New Covenant believers who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. All who are in Christ are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a victorious life for the glory of God.
