Ancient-Future Worship: Proclaiming and Enacting God’s Narrative
There is a crisis of worship today. The problem goes beyond matters of style—it is a crisis of content and of form. The final volume in Webber's acclaimed Ancient-Future series, Ancient-Future Worship is the culmination of a lifetime of study and reflection on Christian worship. Here is an urgent call to recover a vigorous, God-glorifying, transformative worship through the enactment and proclamation of God's glorious story. The road to the future, argues Webber, runs through the past.

Ancient-Future Faith: Rethinking Evangelicalism for a Postmodern World
In his provocative work, Ancient-Future Faith, Robert E. Webber contends that present-day evangelicalism is a product of modernity. Allegiance to modernity, he argues, must be relinquished to free evangelicals to become more consistently historic. Empowerment to function in our changing culture will be found by adapting the classical tradition to our postmodern time. Webber demonstrates the implications in the key areas of church, worship, spirituality, evangelism, nurture, and mission.

Concordia Commentary: Daniel
The Gospel of the kingdom of God finds its most consistent Old Testament treatment in Daniel. This biblical book is much more than a combination of miraculous stories and fantastic visions; it presents the Gospel of the promised Messiah and his eternal kingdom. However, interpreting Daniel is no easy task. While the narratives about Daniel and his fellow Judeans appear simple (belying a rich theological complexity), the visions at the end of the book seem extraordinarily complicated. Thus, the challenge for any commentator is to understand the book as a whole and to explain its rich and variegated view of the Gospel and the Savior.

This commentary expounds the later chapters of Ezekiel according to the book’s classic prophetic outline.

Concordia Commentary: Ezekiel 1–20
Ezekiel contains some of Scripture's most mysterious visions and oracles. The Lord gave this priestly prophet a powerful message of Law and Gospel. The searing indictment of God's unfaithful people for their idolatry warns of impending judgment. Ezekiel sees a vision of God’s glory, which departs from the temple in preparation for its destruction. Yet God also promises to be a sanctuary for his repentant people during their exile, and to restore them, together with Gentiles who will be brought to saving faith. This book explains the first 20 chapters in light of its fulfillment in Christ for the benefit of the church.

Concordia Commentary: 1 Corinthians
Beginning with a literal translation and textual notes on the original Greek text, this commentary on 1 Corinthians expounds on the theology of the epistle for the benefit of the church today. The central theme of this commentary is that "the word of the cross" (1:18) is the basis for the church's unity (ch. 1-4), holiness (ch. 5-7), freedom (ch. 8-10), worship (ch. 11-14), and resurrection hope (ch. 15-16). It is particularly strong in its exegetical treatment of key passages that involve doctrines and practices that have been items of contention among modern Christian denominations.

Ready for Reformation?: Bringing Authentic Reform to Southern Baptist Churches
According to Ready for Reformation? author Tom Nettles, Southern Baptist churches are still in the midst of a reformation that began with the conservative resurgence. It continues today because reformation requires much more than the recovery of biblical authority. Reformation must penetrate deep; it takes time, patience, spiritual preparedness, sacrifice, and honest self-criticism. This well-researched book encourages modern day reformers to enact a serious re-engagement with doctrinal and practical ideas of the past, for failure to do so could result in a halted reformation. Ready for Reformation? serves as a helpful guide for pastors and Sunday school teachers, and contributes toward reform on the local level in Southern Baptist churches and the denomination at large.

Biblical Authority: The Critical Issue for the Body of Christ
In a world faced with every kind of religious pluralism, it is as imperative today as it ever has been for the Bible to remain the absolute standard by which all things are judged.

In this book, Jimmy Draper, along with Kenneth Keathley, deals with this issue in a clear and concise way. They examine modern critical thought and historic positions of the church as well as new methods of interpreting the Bible, such as reader response criticism and postmodern hermeneutics. Biblical Authority will strengthen your faith in the Word of God.

Believer’s Baptism: The Covenant Sign of the New Age in Christ

What are the practical applications for believer’s baptism today? This volume addresses these compelling questions. Indeed, Believer’s Baptism: The Covenant Sign of the New Age in Christ begins with the belief that believer’s baptism (as opposed to infant baptism or other faith proclaiming methods) is the clear teaching of the New Testament. Along the way, the argument is supported by written contributions from Andreas Kostenberger, Robert Stein, Thomas Schreiner, Stephen Wellum, Steve McKinion, Jonathan Rainbow, Shawn Wright, and Mark Dever.

A History of Black Baptists
Strangely enough, the story of black Baptists in America has not been told from the standpoint of its tremendous spiritual momentum through the ages of American history. Of inestimable importance is the fact that black Baptists were distinctive and eminent in the development of American Christianity. This book objectively documents this tradition as a unique trend within that experience. Leroy Fitts aims to tell the black Baptist story as a part of—though unique—the general history of American Christianity, noting social, economic, and political influences on the development of the tradition.

Memory in Jewish, Pagan and Christian Societies of the Graeco-Roman World
The ten studies in this book explore the phenomenon of public memory in societies of the Graeco-Roman period. Mendels begins with a concise discussion of the historical canon that emerged in Late Antiquity and brought with it the (distorted) memory of ancient history in Western culture. The following nine chapters each focus on a different source of collective memory in order to demonstrate the patchy and incomplete associations ancient societies had with their past. Included are discussions of Plato’s Politeia, a “site of memory” of the early church, and the dichotomy between the reality of the land of Israel in the Second Temple period and memories of it.

Do You Not Remember?: Scriptures, Story and Exegesis in the Rewritten Bible of Pseudo-Philo
The Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum, a "rewritten Bible" that follows the broad contours of Genesis to Samuel, includes numerous secondary, or out-of-sequence, episodes, and frequently juxtaposes unrelated biblical characters. The subtlety and significance of these inner-biblical linkages has up to now not been fully appreciated. Building on recent studies in intertextuality, Fisk shows how Pseudo-Philo is often guided by intertextual links and themes present within the canonical precursor, that he is heavily indebted to post-biblical midrashic traditions, and that 'secondary scripture' is a strategic means by which Israel's traditions are reconfigured in this enigmatic text.

Joseph and Aseneth
This volume is a comprehensive but accessible guide to the major questions raised by the Hellenistic Jewish work, Joseph and Aseneth. Joseph and Aseneth is an excellent example of the controverted issues of text, dating and Sitz im Leben, when such decisions must be largely based on internal evidence. It provides an introduction into the vexed question of genre, given the numerous literary links that have been suggested for it. Its mysterious but engaging plot, and its female protagonist, evoke ongoing sociological and feminist debate. It is thus strongly commended for careful study to students and scholars of Judaism, New Testament, sociology and narratology. Intended as a sound basis for such exploration, this guide also offers a fresh narrative reading in which the revelatory character of Joseph and Aseneth is brought to the forefront.

Tobit and Judith
The two apocryphal books, Tobit and Judith, are Jewish legends presumably created in the 3rd or 2nd century BCE. The first was composed in the Eastern Diaspora, the other in Palestine. The events related are placed in the Assyrian epoch in the 7th century BCE. This volume discusses the problems between real history and historical fiction, the genres and purposes of the two books, and the literary and religious motives of the tales. Also dealt with are textual problems such as the Greek text in the Septuagint vs. Hebrew and Aramaic Tobit-fragments from Qumran.

2 Esdras
Some of the greatest moments of religious history have occurred when a poignant experience or event flies in the face of the traditional theological worldview cherished by an individual or society. A fascinating case study of one such occurrence lies open in the text of 4 Ezra (2 Esdras 3-14), wherein a learned Jewish scribe of the first century CE rethinks his inherited theological views concerning a transcendent creator who is powerful, loving and just. This guide introduces the reader in a non-technical but informed manner to the text of 4 Ezra, locating it in its historical, theological and social setting, reviewing interpretive approaches, and demonstrating how the author boldly struggles to understand God's grand reputation in the light of a world out of joint.

He responded by providing assurance about the promised parousia and also by offering theoretical attempt to explain how the heavenly Christ had defeated the cosmic powers who inspired hatred of the Christians.

Life of Adam and Eve and Related Literature
The Life of Adam and Eve once belonged to the most popular literature in the Christian world. Retelling the Genesis 3 story, it gives an elaborate description of Adam's death and his assumption to Paradise in the third heaven. His continued existence, as well as his future resurrection, are as much a paradigm for humanity as his transgression, condemnation and death.

The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs
The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs is of especial interest to students of early Judaism and Christianity, though this importance is not always recognized. This collection preserves extra-biblical traditions about the sons of Jacob, it reflects a moral worldview of Jews and Christians around the turn of the era, and it casts light on its authors' eschatological imagination.

Sirach
Sirach is a book that raises a very distinctive set of problems. What should we call it (Sirach, Ecclesiasticus, Ben Sira)? What is the relation between the traditional Greek text and the recently rediscovered Hebrew parts of the book? Where did it stand in relation to Jewish tradition and the Hellenism that was sweeping the Mediterranean world? In this guide, these and other issues are discussed, including the use the author made of Scripture, and the scholarly placing of the book in the Wisdom tradition. The author's attitude to women is also considered. The volume ends with an examination of some of the chief theological themes of Sirach.

How the Temple Thinks: Identity and Social Cohesion in Ancient Judaism
Beyond the political elites and the scribes, among the anonymous and unranked, the Jerusalem Temple provided the necessary social cohesion for Judaism and the Jewish people. It acted not only as edifice but also as system of thought, with its categories of pure and impure, of sacred and profane, extending beyond the sanctuary to the Land of Israel, from the sacrificial altar to the daily tables. The Temple was already an idea more than a reality in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it came to an end in 70 CE. Yet even beyond this end, when Rabbinic Judaism takes shape, there remains the "Thinking of the Temple."

The Septuagint as Christian Scripture: Its Prehistory and the Problem of Its Canon
The Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament, was the 'Bible' of the early Christian Church. This is a comprehensive introduction to the issues surrounding the translation and development of the Septuagint. Professor Hengel first traces the history of the Septuagint. He explores the controversial discussion between Jews and Christians regarding its reliability, examining particularly the views of the church fathers relating to its authority, its inspiration, and its canon.

The History of the Second Temple Period
This book represents the fruit of a long process of study and reflection, a powerful but subtle synthesis, by one of the most eminent scholars of Second Temple Judaism. Far from a conventional narrative history, it is organized around themes and seeks to uncover the essence of Hebraic/Jewish religious thinking while confronting the phenomenon of its division into several “parties” and traditions. Drawing also on recent studies of Christianity as a “Judaism,” Sacchi provides a stimulating perspective on the nature of ancient Oriental and Occidental thought and the intellectual and spiritual heritage of European civilization.

Unlocking Wisdom: Forming Agents of God in the House of Mourning
James Reitman's exposition of Job and Ecclesiastes in Unlocking Wisdom is written for serious Bible students, combining a transparent hermeneutical methodology with a canonical-linguistic expositional style to explore the authors' intended meaning as expressed in the text. This innovative commentary provides a more canonical, literary and synthetic reading of these two books of Wisdom than is available in verse-by-verse exegetical treatments and relates the arguments of the two books to make them eminently applicable to contemporary readers.

Sheffield New Testament Guides: The Johannine Epistles
The three epistles of John occupy only five or six pages of an English Bible, yet they are among the most intriguing writings of the New Testament. Were they written by one person or more? In what sort of community did they originate, and what situation are they addressing? What is the background to their thought? How do they relate to the Gospel of John? What is their theological message, and does it have any relevance to the modern world? These are some of the issues considered in this insightful guide to the Johannine Epistles.

Sheffield New Testament Guides: 2 Peter and Jude
Dr. Knight covers both of these letters because he believes there is a close association between them. He suggests that the author of 2 Peter, in fact, makes use of Jude to frame his response to the false teachers 2 Peter 3:1. Knight begins, therefore, with a detailed explanation of the content in Jude before embarking on 2 Peter. The guide concludes with a look at the influence of these two letters on early Christianity, especially with regard to eschatological hope. This is why 2 Peter confronts early Christian skepticism about the imminent return of Jesus.

Sheffield New Testament Guides: The Pastoral Epistles
1 and 2 Timothy and Titus were once read as individual collections of traditional material—liturgical formulae, lists of virtues and vices, household codes, and codes for church order—but more recent studies have elucidated the coherence of each epistle. This volume exhorts readers through explicit and implicit, positive and negative examples, and through arguments that seek to ground ethics theologically and christologically. The author also highlights a question posed by contemporary scholars about the general philosophy of these epistles: do they seek to adapt a faith that opposes the wisdom of the world into one which conforms to the world’s wisdom about good citizenship? This guide provides a critical introduction to the insights of recent scholarship and to the epistles themselves.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi
Coggins first analyzes the historical setting of the books, including the concept of prophets under the oppression of foreign rulers. He describes the editorial framework and then analyzes the content of Haggai and Zechariah 1–8. The author discusses the problem of “theocracy” versus “eschatology” as it related to prophets of the post-exilic times, then moves on to address Zechariah 9–14 and Malachi. The last chapter of this book puts the contents and ideals of these three biblical works into larger perspective, looking forward into the times of the New Testament writers.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Zephaniah, Habakkuk and Joel
The author begins this guide with an introduction and explains that he presents these three prophetic books in what he believes to be their chronological sequence rather than canonical order. Part One examines the book of Zephaniah by describing the contents, portraying Zephaniah the person, explaining the historical background and criticisms, and illustrating the message of Zephaniah. Part Two is devoted to the book of Habakkuk, listing the contents, explaining the history of criticism of the book, illuminating the details of the prophet and his times, and analyzing the theology and function of the book. Part Three is a treatment of the book of Joel. Mason here presents the contents of the book of Joel, then discusses the various possible meanings of the plague of locusts which is such a prominent feature of Joel. He then looks at the questions of the unity and the dating of the book, and its parallels with other Old Testament materials.

T&T Clark Study Guides: Micah, Nahum and Obadiah
Mason here provides a valuable basic orientation to the modern reading of these short and often difficult minor prophets. By carefully surveying and evaluating the historical-critical options that have been proposed during the last century, he outlines the message of these books within a post-exilic, canonical context. Although scholars hold diverging assumptions about the authorship of Micah, Mason asserts that the book must be read as a coherent whole. Mason views the work as a post-exilic tract which re-interprets the prophet’s message in the light of the situation after the exile. For Nahum and Obadiah, whose apparent theology of hate for foreigners has limited their interpretive appeal, the argument that the books were designed to function as part the Book of the Twelve—the singular book of prophets from Amos through Jonah referred to as the “Twelve Prophets” in the Wisdom of Ben Sirach—must be taken seriously.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Jonah and Lamentations
The book of Jonah stands firmly in the Old Testament tradition, but the genre and aim of its author are not easy to discern. Salters stresses the authenticity of Jonah’s message to the Ninevites, along with their need for repentance, and Yahweh’s mercy. The purpose of the book must lie in a combination of these themes. Lamentations is a neglected book, perhaps because it has been associated with the book of Jeremiah and considered almost as an appendix. On the question of genre, it has the closest affinities with the Psalms of lament. However, whereas Psalms of lament are usually generic and tend to distance themselves from historical events, the five chapters of Lamentations have been written firmly within the context of the Fall of Jerusalem. While gloom abounds, the faith of the author of Lamentations shines through. He is a practical monotheist, says Salters, who interprets the catastrophe of the fall of Jerusalem in the light of his faith.

T&T Clark Study Guides: Amos
The contents of this introduction do not mirror the progression of the themes of the book of Amos itself. The reader starts near the end with reports of Amos’s visions and the question of his status, and moves to Israel in the context of its neighbors. The reader is then invited to turn to more general discussion of literary issues in Amos. Only then is the familiar starting point of Amos’s social and religious critique handled, while a final chapter assesses the wider religious and theological significance of the book.

Daniel has produced a good deal of controversial debate, especially regarding its date and authorship and its apocalyptic character. In this study guide, Philip R. Davies carefully notes and evaluates the scholarly issues pertinent to this debate. Emphasis is placed on the literary and theological aspects of the book, which have been comparatively neglected, but which reflect the concerns and interests of contemporary Old Testament scholarship. This volume thus looks both at the past scholarship and points towards future trends in the understanding of a unique literary and theological masterpiece.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Ezekiel
A much-neglected prophet, Ezekiel is nevertheless a key figure in Old Testament religion. Standing where he does, at the great crisis point of Israel’s history, the exile, he confronts the basic questions of whether the nation of Israel can survive, and whether it should. Ezekiel represents the priestly strand in Israel’s thinking, which lays such weight on the temple as the place of the presence of God. How can the nation be sustained when it has been deprived of its traditional place of worship? Ezekiel’s reply is that the presence of God is still available, even in the land of exile, but that the presence is yet to be restored to its proper place in Jerusalem. Like the other volumes in the series, this compact study of Ezekiel will be much appreciated by the student turning to the study of the prophet for the first time as well as the scholar seeking another view of an often-visited subject.

T&T Clark Study Guides: Jeremiah
According to R.P. Carroll, the book of Jeremiah is long, complex and difficult, and to the modern reader it appears to be a repetitive mess, mixing poetry and prose in no particular order. There appear to be traces of attempts to collate and give order to some parts of the material, but the cacophony of voices heard in the book make it difficult to accept the single attribution of the work to the man mentioned in the first verse of chapter one. The reader who is not confused by the book of Jeremiah has not understood it, Carroll states. He attempts to sort out this complicated biblical text by examining the contents and structure of the book, editions of Jeremiah, theories of the formation of the book, cycles of poetry and prose, the narratives, the figure of Jeremiah and the theo-politics of the book. He then wraps up with a chapter entitled “Senses of an Ending” in which he addresses the confusing multiple endings of Jeremiah and offers insights on each of these.

T&T Clark Study Guides: Isaiah 56–66
Grace Emmerson has described Trito-Isaiah, chapters 56–66, as “a bewildering medley of denunciation and promise, warning and hope, lament and confidence,” and she is not alone in regarding its eleven chapters as being a “miscellany of prophecies.” The importance of the message, the balance and artistry of the structure and the impressive quality of the poetic imagery are inversely proportional to the scant attention which these last chapters are often paid, in comparison to the rest of the book of Isaiah. Emmerson also stresses that the use of the expression “Third Isaiah” does not prejudge the question of single or multiple authorship, but is merely a convenient way of referring to chapters 56–66.

T&T Clark Study Guides: The Second Isaiah
While noting that the book of Second Isaiah, or Deutero-Isaiah, is free of many of the complications present in First Isaiah, Whybray suggests that the redactional history of Second Isaiah may be even more complex than any other prophetical book of the Old Testament. He considers these chapters to be some of the most important and influential chapters in the entire Bible. Isaiah 40–55 played a crucial role in the development of some of the great themes of Jewish and Christian theologies. In particular, Second Isaiah has had a profound effect on the doctrine of God because it portrays Yahweh as the unique and individual creator, as the Lord of history, as almighty and righteous, as loving and merciful, as holy, and as Savior and Redeemer. The role of Isaiah was not so much as innovator as of one who articulated with greater clarity than his predecessors the theological understanding of God and the world.

T&T Clark Study Guides: Isaiah 1–39
Isaiah is one of the most difficult and yet rewarding of the major prophets. Barton looks at First Isaiah (chapters 1–39) as a composite work by many authors, but also as a work to be read through in a linear fashion like a literary work. These chapters are a complex assembly built of distinctive component parts, and Barton focuses on the words of Isaiah, son of Amoz as the core of this and the other Isaiah works. This book consists of six chapters: “The Prophet and the Book,” “Isaiah and Politics,” “Isaiah and Social Morality,” “Isaiah and the Future,” “After Isaiah,” and “Reading Isaiah.” While there are various approaches to this biblical material, including holistic reading and historical criticism, all the methods of analysis outlined in this book are intellectually serious, committed to careful engagement with the text, and produce rich insights. The author entreats the reader to give all literary and interpretive methods a fair hearing.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Ecclesiastes
Dr. Whybray describes the ancient Near-Eastern tradition of producing collections of wisdom: instructions in the form of aphorisms and proverbs for educating the young on how to have a happy and successful life. Although Proverbs depends on the tradition of wisdom literature, according to Whybray, the book of Ecclesiastes modifies this tradition. The book contains three very different types of material: sections whose form and character are hardly distinguishable from the instructions of Egypt and Mesopotamia; others where the aim remains the achievement of the successful life; and finally, passages in which the main purpose has now.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: 1 & 2 Chronicles
Among early Christian and Jewish writers, the books of Chronicles were tacitly understood as authoritative historical works. But in the Septuagint and Vulgate, these works were named “things left out,” suggesting that 1 and 2 Chronicles had only supplementary status in the canon. Jones begins his commentary with an introduction, then tackles the genealogies (1 Chronicles 1–9), the united monarchy (1 Chronicles 10–2 Chronicles 9), and The divided monarchy (2 Chronicles 10–36). He then analyzes sources and method, authorship and date, purposes of writing, and theology of the books.

She surveys a rich field of new writing on Esther, and poses questions which are returning to the fore of Biblical studies: What makes a biblical text theologically valuable or dangerous, and how do our perceptions change? What is the relation between history and theology? What is the status of variant forms of the biblical tradition? How does the book achieve its literary impact? Larkin also tackles the elusive issues of the date of authorship, and the relationship between this book and Israelite law.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Judges
Mayes presents this guide in three parts; "Chapter 1: The Book of Judges,” "Chapter 2: The Social Context of Events Related in Judges,” and "Chapter 3: Israel in the Period of the Judges." The first chapter covers the deuteronimistic context, the structure, and the history of the origin of the book of Judges. The second chapter discusses the geo-historic setting, the social forms and the society of ancient Israel in the pre-monarchic era. The third chapter defines various aspects of the period of the Judges; the beginning and end-points of the era, Israel as a segmented society, pre-monarchic leadership and the place this period holds in the history of Israel.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Joshua
The book of Joshua bridges the gap between the Pentateuch and the story of Israel in the Promised Land. It recounts the familiar traditions of the conquest of Canaan, and details the portions of territory allotted to the tribes. Does the book of Joshua relate to neighboring books in the canon? To what extent does it contain theology—such as the preceding books—and to what extent does Joshua contain history and geography—such as the books that follow? How should it be understood in the light of archaeological discoveries, or recent studies of the emergence of Israel? How might it read as piece of literature? This study guide offers an introduction to the contents of the Joshua and a survey of the scholarly views about its nature and purpose. Curtis states that the key to understanding Joshua should be sought not so much in the field of history as of theology.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Deuteronomy
Clements presents this book as a central law-book (Chapters 12–26) surrounded by a framework (Chapters 1–11 and 27–34). The framework consists of a historical introduction in Chapters 1–3, a series of speeches and exhortation and admonition in Chapters 4–11, and a historical epilogue in Chapters 27–34. The central law-book of Chapters 12–26, says Clements, appears as a recognizable whole, a series of laws, many of which elaborate on earlier laws preserved in the book of Exodus. The author also investigates the central theological themes, authorship, historical background and the social development of Israel and its connections to the book of Deuteronomy.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Numbers
Gordon Wenham states that the purpose of this guide is to introduce modern readers to a book that, at first glance, appears droll and unexciting, but upon further reading and reflection, contains some of the most gripping stories in Scripture. The book of Numbers is comprised of stories containing humor, magic, prophecy, drama, solemn ritual and practical laws, yet many miss these interesting tales by failing to press through the droll beginning. The author examines this vital volume in six chapters entitled “The Arrangement of Numbers,” “The Genres of Numbers,” “The Sources of Numbers,” “Numbers and History,” “The Theology of Numbers,” and “Later Interpretation of Numbers.”

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Leviticus
Although Leviticus may seem a less-than-appealing text to the modern theology student, considering the topics include such unsavory subjects as ritual sacrifice, Grabbe stresses that Jewish and Christian commentators through the centuries have found it to be an important source of religious symbolism and theological reflection. By taking a closer look at the text, the author reveals many fascinating insights into society, history, religion, and theology.

Sheffield Old Testament Guides: Exodus
Johnstone asks, “What kind of book is Exodus?” He describes it not only as a history book couched in a narrative, but also as a book dominated by stipulations for religious services, legal practices, and cultic institutions. As such, the author also states the book is also part calendar and liturgical handbook and part code of law. Johnstone thus divides the book into sections on historical matters, institutional matters, literary matters, and theological matters.

Making Sense of the New Testament: Three Crucial Questions
Many Christians assume that the New Testament is historically reliable. This confidence, however, is not universal, and there are many who, especially in light of modern biblical studies, question this claim. Some have also claimed that Paul founded a church quite distinct from the message of Jesus and the Gospels. How can we reconcile their seeming differences? What is the relevance of the New Testament in the world today, in cultures far removed in time and space from the first-century Mediterranean world? Grounded in sound scholarship but written in an accessible style, this book provides a reasonable, well-informed response to these issues, offering sound introductory guidance to any student of the Bible.

Finally Alive
Being “born again” is now defined by what people say they believe. The New Testament however defines Christians very differently. When Jesus said to Nicodemus, “You must be born again”, the devout and learned religious leader was unsure what Jesus meant. It would seem nothing has changed. Today “born again Christians” fill churches that are seen as ineffectual at best. Those claiming to be “born again” live indistinguishable from those who don't; they sin the same, embrace injustice the same, covet the same, do almost everything the same.

The Masorah of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia
One of the barriers involved in teaching students of biblical Hebrew about the Masorah is the lack of introductory literature on the subject. Although a lot of information about the Masorah is available in print, most of it is in technical professional journals or encyclopedia articles. Scattered about in disparate sources, often not in English, this literature is easier to ignore than it is to incorporate into introductory Hebrew classes. As a result, most students of biblical Hebrew complete their studies without any background on the Masorah.

He was also the first to construct and systematize the ontological argument for the existence of God. The Major Works of Anselm of Canterbury contains Anselm’s important theological and philosophical writings: the Proslogium, the Monologium, Cur Deus Homo, and In Behalf of the Fool.

He views the “strangeness” of the biblical world and wonders whether there is an Old Testament ethics in the modern sense of the word - finding rather that the Old Testament writers did not regard many of today's ethical dilemmas as problems at all. Dr. Rodd examines all the Old Testament writings on five ethical issues: the poor, war, treatment of animals, ecology and the position of women. He considers their validity and relevance for today and discusses the extent to which they can be referred to for authority - or for inspiration and guidance.

The Four Voices of Preaching
There are four distinct voices that preachers gravitate toward in their efforts to persuade, according to Reid. These include the teaching voice (explaining through argument); encouraging voice (facilitating an encounter with God); sage voice (critical reflection or analysis that invites exploration); and testifying voice (engaging listeners and seeking to build community). Reid's book provides sample sermons grounded in each voice.

He also illustrates how recognizing the elements of the parable that were atypical to everyday life can lead to key insights that will be of significance to contemporary parishioners. Each of the fifteen exemplary sermons is accompanied by an analysis that points out key interpretive decisions.

"Most writing on Christian leadership omits preaching, and most books on preaching leave out leadership," observes Michael Quicke.

By adapting a workable and realistic leadership model, Quicke shows how preaching is the main vehicle for leading congregational change.

The Supremacy of God in Preaching, rev. ed.
John Piper contends that preaching is not simply an exercise in motivational speaking. The goal of preaching is to worship God, and proclaim Him as Supreme. It is God’s desire to be glorified through the preacher, and the aim of the preacher is to respond accordingly. The Supremacy of God in Preaching is not another “how-to” guide for the pulpit ministry, but is a challenge issued toward every preacher to elevate the God of the Bible through sound Biblical preaching.

From a biblical, historical, or theological perspective each essay examines a challenge to belief in the integrity and reliability of Scripture.

The Right Doctrine from the Wrong Texts?: Essays on the Use of the Old Testament in the New
This collection of essays presents various perspectives concerning the hermeneutical issue of whether Jesus and the apostles quoted Old Testament texts with respect for their broader Old Testament context. Each of the contributors debates the interpretive understandings by which Old Testament texts are quoted and applied in the New Testament. Were New Testament teachers and authors simply children of rabbinic midrashic scholarship? Did they revere the original context of passages they quoted or fill them with different meaning? What presuppositions about the Old Testament guided their approaches?

The author, Daniel Treier, also explores what he sees as the greatest challenges the movement will have to address in the future, including the interface between TIS and biblical theology, general hermeneutics, and the concept of social location in reading scriptural texts. Woven throughout is a case study on the imago Dei, demonstrating how TIS plays out in theological exegesis. This case study adds to the book's usefulness as a secondary text in hermeneutics courses.

In The Drama of Scripture, Craig Bartholomew and Michael Goheen provide an engaging overview of the story line and theology of the Bible. As the authors suggest in their introduction, it is only as we read and appropriate the Bible "as our story" that we fully understand it and allow it to have authority over us. As we enter into the story of the Bible, we find God revealed there and are called to participate in his continuing activity. The biblical story, then, is foundational to Christian thinking and living.

The Genesis Question
Everyone knows the Bible teaches scientific nonsense is a commonly held misconception.

Examining recent, leading-edge scientific discoveries, Dr. Hugh Ross explores how these very chapters hold some of the strongest scientific evidence for the Bible’s supernatural accuracy. Like never before, The Genesis Question integrates the accuracy of both science and the Bible—without compromise—giving skeptics and believers common ground and opportunity for dialogue.

As a result, our love and appreciation of him will be dramatically deepened, and the way we relate to him and to others—both believers and nonbelievers—will be changed forever.

For over a century, the scientific establishment has ignored challenges to the theory of evolution. But in the last decade such complacency about its scientific and philosophical foundations has been shaken. As cracks in the Darwinian edifice have begun to appear, many are asking whether a defensible alternative exists. In response to this growing crisis, a movement has emerged among scholars exploring the possibility of intelligent design as an explanatory theory in scientific descriptions of the universe. In this book Michael Behe is joined by eighteen other expert academics trained in mathematics, mechanical engineering, philosophy, physical anthropology, physics, astrophysics, biology, ecology and evolutionary biology to investigate the prospects for this emerging school of thought.

Ironside contains 65 volumes of the most important sermons, commentaries, and writings from one of America’s most influential preachers—now including the complete set of Ironside commentaries! Inspired by Dwight Moody, Ironside comforted and challenged a generation of evangelicals during two world wars and an economic depression. He spoke to a lay audience, and made the Bible understandable and accessible to as many people as possible, earning himself the title, “the Archbishop of fundamentalism.” His preaching blurs the line between sermonizing and storytelling, and his commentaries are filled with examples and anecdotes that made sense to his readers, then and now.

Charles Hodge Commentary Collection (4 Vols.)
Contemporary scholarship remembers Charles Hodge more for his systematic theology than his biblical exposition. Nevertheless, his whole life was primarily devoted to the critical and systematic study of the Bible, and his entire theological method is eminently biblical. The four commentaries in the Charles Hodge Commentary Collection serve as the basis for Hodge’s life and thought, making his commentaries important for both biblical scholars and theologians. The volumes contain verse-by-verse commentary on every chapter in Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, and Ephesians, along with textual analysis, doctrinal points, and helpful chapter summaries. Each commentary also includes a lengthy introduction and overview written by Hodge himself, in which he examines the authorship and date of each book, along with the historical, cultural, political, and theological context of the original audience.

Sanctified Aggression
Sanctified Aggression allies itself neither with the easy assumption that religions are by definition violent (and that only the secular/humanist/humane can offer a place of refuge from the ravages of religious authority) nor with the equally facile opposing view that religion expresses the “best” of human aspirations and that this best is always capable of diffusing or sublating the worst. Rather, it works from the premise that biblical, Jewish and Christian vocabularies continue to resonate, inspire and misfire.

Violence in the New Testament
While much work has been done on the role of Jews in the crucifixion of Jesus in post-Holocaust biblical scholarship, the question of violence in subsequent community formation remains largely unexamined. This volume takes up crucial methodological questions about how to read passages suggesting violence among Jews in texts that eventually became part of the New Testament canon. It situates this intra-religious violence within the violence of the Roman Imperial order. It provides new readings of these texts that move beyond the “Jew as violator”/“Christian as violated” binary.

In this volume, Dr. Sherman chooses eleven Psalms to expound upon which cover typical themes that run throughout the entire book of Psalms. These themes are giving thanks, following God, confession and forgiveness, and blessings. He includes six proverbs that focus on different aspects of wisdom. Isaiah, he tells, us was written to encourage a discouraged, humiliated people. It is about hope, promise, and deliverance. Jeremiah, too, is about hope, preceded by despair. Sherman gives us gems of truth gleaned from the Minor Prophets; he takes Amos personally, for example, contending that the prophet clearly speaks to American Christianity, holding up a mirror to see how we reflect Jesus.

Cecil Sherman Formations Commentary: Genesis to Job
Sherman approaches the beginning of the Bible with an understanding of the modern problem of how one embraces Genesis and the findings of science. The bottom line, he says, is that “In the beginning. . . God.” In discussing Abraham’s calling, Sherman tells us that “When we follow God into hard places and attempt hard things, we meet surprises. When our faith gives way, God comes again.” He shows how the human stories in Genesis, though real, provide us with instruction today. His commentary on God’s name, “I Am,” is insightful. In discussing the Ten Commandments, Sherman reminds us to read them in the light of Jesus, recognizing the way He interpreted them is the way we ought to view them. His treatment of Ruth focuses on how God works in the lives of ordinary people, how God guides the destiny of people towards His desired end. Sherman’s treatment of David, Ezra and Esther are profound, and he concludes this volume by looking at the puzzlement of why good people suffer in his instructive look at Job.

The Attributes of God, Vol. 2 Study Guide
“It is utterly necessary that we know this God, this One that John wrote about, this One that the poet speaks about, this One that theology talks about and this One that we’re sent to preach and teach about,” Tozer writes in the introduction to his second volume on God’s attributes. Again, the chapters included here were preached as sermons, this time to the Avenue Road congregation in Toronto, Canada. Among the ten attributes Tozer focuses on are God’s transcendence, immutability, wisdom, and faithfulness. Tozer believes that Christianity has lost its dignity, its inwardness; that Christians have lost the awe, the wonder, the fear and the delight in God. He hopes through the reading of these sermons that Christians will know God again. “Nothing less than this will save us,” he warns us. David E. Fessenden adds a study guide in this volume for an in-depth look at each attribute.

The Attributes of God, Vol. 1 Study Guide
An inspiring journey into the Father’s heart, Tozer concentrates on ten of God’s attributes, such as His goodness, justice, mercy, grace, holiness, etc. For Tozer, there was no question more important than “What is God Like?” These ten chapters were first preached as sermons at the Southside Alliance Church in Chicago. Tozer believed it was critically important for Christians to have a knowledge of the Holy One. Each attribute of God discussed here is presented in the light of the believer’s personal relationship with Him. A study guide, to be used for individual or group study, was written by David E. Fessenden and added to the book for an in-depth look at each attribute.

The Pursuit of God: Study Guide
If you are thirsting for more of God, Tozer’s timeless classic will draw you into a deep, abiding relationship with the One who “nourishes the soul.” This spiritual masterpiece exposes the roadblocks that keep us from fully knowing God, reveals our responsibility of the pursuit, and ultimately leads us into the very presence of God Himself. Much of what you read here came out of the crucible of Tozer’s own personal experience. Dr. David J. Fant, Jr., one of Tozer’s biographers, said that “Tozer literally wrote The Pursuit of God on his knees. Perhaps that explains its power and the blessing that has rested on it.” Jonathan L. Graf’s 110-page study guide to The Pursuit of God is written to help the reader apply the truths and reflect upon the major points found in Tozer’s classic book.

We Travel an Appointed Way
These 38 essays chosen by Harry Verploegh were, as many other compilations, editorials Tozer wrote for the Alliance Life. Tozer did not believe the Christian experienced “accidents,” because he or she travels an appointed way. Our way is ordered by God’s hidden providence, and true faith displaces any possibility for chance or misfortune. Learning to discern and identify God’s ways while cultivating a disciplined and obedient walk with Him will instill a faith based on certainty, not chance.

In this series of sermon excerpts, Tozer elaborates on the voices God uses: the witness of the Holy Spirit, the blood of Jesus, human conscience, reason, accountability, judgment, and, of course, love. Since the Garden of Eden God’s voice has echoed through the years to bring His fallen children back to Him.

Let My People Go: The Life of Robert A. Jaffray
Robert Jaffray was a missionary statesman of the early 20th century who turned his back on wealth and power to serve in China. He helped open French Indochina to The Christian and Missionary Alliance, an evangelical Protestant denomination that began as two separate organizations to promote a higher Christian life and to mobilize Christians in the work of foreign missionary efforts. Jaffray stayed in Wuzhou, China for 35 years where his keen administrating, voluminous writing and incessant strategizing made him a natural leader. He was arrested in 1942 by the Japanese during WWII and was kept in internment camps until he died in 1945 from illness and malnutrition. In this biography of Jaffray, Tozer’s aim was to “capture the spirit of Jaffray, to present him as a real human being.”

Here is that master of words at work again, speaking plainly of things that pertain to life and godliness. Compiled by Tozer's longtime friend, Harry Verploegh, these essays (originally published in Alliance Life magazine) are brief but eloquent affirmations of Christian orthodoxy. In The Next Chapter After the Last Tozer celebrated the fact that Jesus’ life does not end in death, and therefore those who believe in Him also have a new chapter to look forward to after death.

The Christian Book of Mystical Verse
Tozer has compiled many of the Church’s profound mystical voices that have given us beautiful poetry, songs, and words of praise. For Tozer, these evangelical mystics had “been brought by the gospel into intimate fellowship with the Godhead.” Tozer does not want these voices to be ignored or forgotten and has gathered them here “to make available to present-day Christians a rich spiritual heritage which the great number of [us] for various reasons do not now enjoy.” This is intended for the worshiper whose longing for God is true and yet lacks “the gift that would enable them to express their feelings adequately.” The hymns and poems Tozer has compiled are mystical in the sense that they are God-oriented—they begin with God, embrace the worshiping soul and return to God again. Among the voices chosen are Isaac Watts, Frederick William Faber, Christina Rossetti, Charles Wesley, Paul Gerhardt, Jeanne Marie de la Motte-Guyon, and Thomas More.

The Early Tozer: A Word in Season
These are selected articles from Tozer’s pen, compiled by James L. Snyder. These short essays, Snyder reminds us, are not sermons but “the casual musings of a man in tune with not only the world around him, but with God.” Many of these essays were written in transit to numerous speaking engagements, when Tozer was alone with God and compelled to put his thoughts on paper. Here you will discover the wit and spiritual insight of an early Tozer who offers his readers a true “word in season.”

The Pursuit of God
If you are thirsting for more of God, Tozer’s timeless classic will draw you into a deep, abiding relationship with the One who “nourishes the soul.” This spiritual masterpiece exposes the roadblocks that keep us from fully knowing God, reveals our responsibility of the pursuit, and ultimately leads us into the very presence of God Himself. Much of what you read here came out of the crucible of Tozer’s own personal experience. Dr. David J. Fant, Jr., one of Tozer’s biographers, said that “Tozer literally wrote The Pursuit of God on his knees. Perhaps that explains its power and the blessing that has rested on it.”

God’s Pursuit of Man
Although written two years after the publication of The Pursuit of God, Tozer’s God’s Pursuit of Man is considered its prequel because it sets forth the biblical truth that before man can pursue God, God must first pursue man. In this book, previously published as The Pursuit of Man Tozer speaks fervently of God’s desire for man to be saved and the action He takes as He “invades” the human soul. It is then, Tozer explains, that the Holy Spirit can teach us the mystery of the triune God.

That Incredible Christian
Compiled by Anita M. Bailey, these essays show us how heaven’s children are to live on earth. The thread that ties this edition of Tozer’s essays together is “recognizing God for who He is and giving Him the worship and honor due Him,” says Bailey in the Introduction. In these forty-one essays Tozer tells us that God intends for truth to move us to moral action, that the Holy Spirit is working to bring the believer into a spiritual development that accords with the nature of the Heavenly Father, and that whatever keeps us from the Bible is our enemy no matter how seemingly harmless it appears to be.

Wingspread—A.B. Simpson: A Study in Spiritual Altitude
With a sympathetic heart and an objective mental approach, Tozer, in this short biography, gives us a sketch of the life of Albert Benjamin Simpson. Tozer reminds us that we have received from A. B. Simpson’s life and teachings “such immeasurable benefits that we feel forever bound to thank the thoughtful God who gave him to the church.” Simpson arose from inauspicious beginnings to prominence through Presbyterian pastorates when he resigned from his comfortable pulpit to launch a ministry aimed at reaching the world’s lost multitudes. That ministry blossomed into The Christian and Missionary Alliance, a denomination characterized by its Christ-centered teaching and missionary emphasis. Wingspread is a story of one of God’s chosen leaders that will captivate and challenge the reader.

God Tells the Man Who Cares
Tozer beckons us to hear God’s call and pursue a right relationship with Him. From his meditation on Psalm 46:10 to his reflections on Christian service throughout history, Tozer highlights examples of servanthood worthy of emulation. “Christ is every man’s contemporary. His presence and power are offered to us in this time of mad activity and mechanical noises as certainly as to the fisherman on the quiet lake of Galilee…The only condition is that we get still enough to hear his voice and that we believe and heed what we hear,” says Tozer. The chapters in this book are messages of concern, exposing the weaknesses of the church and denouncing compromise. Though they warn and exhort, they are messages of hope as well.

Born After Midnight
This is another collection of Tozer’s essays from Alliance Life. Tozer has said that revivals are born after midnight because they “require a serious mind and a determined heart to pray past the ordinary into the unusual.” These insightful selections point out the disparity between human ways and God’s way. We are cajoled to rise above mere living, to press toward the blessings offered by the Holy Spirit. Christians often fail to reach beyond themselves to all that God has for them and to live in the extraordinary realm of close union with Christ.

This World: Playground or Battleground?
There was a time, Tozer says, when Christianity exercised a dominant influence over the thinking of our forefathers, when they knew the world was a battlefield. They believed in sin, the devil, and hell as constituting one force pitted against the other force of God and righteousness and heaven. People today, however, think of the world, Tozer laments, not as a battleground, but as a playground; the world has become a place to frolic, not a place to fight. Although Tozer sees the world as a battlefield, he sees it as one where the victory is certain.
