Book: At Beginning with Moses you can get a deal on "Pierced for our Transgressions," an important book dealing with the doctrine of penal substitution.

You can watch that documentary on the Phelps on youtube (in 7 parts) It is an interesting but disturbing program.

I expected to see a twisted and extremist Christian group on it, but was surprised that despite their claims to be Christian and even a TULIP banner in their church, they seemed to be so obsessed with the anti-gay agenda that very little of their "religion" resembled Christianity at all any more! I don't say that in a judgemental way, but there were a lot of extremely offbeat beliefs they had on such key issues as the nature of the church, the nature of and assurance of salvation that I don't think they really count as a Christian group at all, let alone a reformed one as they claim! I don't remember Jesus being mentioned once. Their "god" had become hating homosexuals!
