Human beings are the only creatures who ask questions. Major questions.

• Can I know that God exists?
• Am I the product of a blind evolutionary process or was I created by God?
• How strong is the evidence for Jesus’ resurrection?

Praise for the Print Edition

Christians in the twenty-first century, as never before, must know what they believe and why they believe. They must be able to define and defend the faith. The Apologetics Study Bible will help equip a new generation of believers to do that with competency and conviction.
—Daniel L. Akin, president, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

When we share our faith with others, we often run into Bible passages that raise difficult questions. The Apologetics Study Bible deals with such problems…[and] also provides discussions of more general questions like the existence of God and the problem of evil…The Apologetics Study Bible is a useful tool for Christian witness.
—John Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida

So many people today are asking fundamental questions about Christianity that it is important to have good apologetics tools to be able to recommend to them. I highly recommend a study Bible like this one that addresses such concerns.
—Stanley E. Porter, President and Dean, Professor of New Testament, McMaster Divinity College

This is a really neat book and it not only gives a short synopsis of the passages but explains the history behind each book…I recommend it for anyone who wants additional help in studying the Word.

The Teacher’s Bible Commentary is designed to make it easy for any reader to grasp the central meaning of a passage of Scripture quickly. Difficult passages are dealt with in separate sections, giving the user the option of dealing with the difficulty or moving on.

131 Christians Everyone Should Know

• Editor: Christian History Magazine
• 384 pages
• Broadman & Holman Publishing Group | 2000

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

If you think history of boring, take about three minutes and scan through 131 Christians Everyone Should Know. Zero in on an article, and you may find you can’t read just one!

These sketches have been put together by the editors of Christian History magazine, who have an impressive track record for making history come alive every month for their readers.

Note the diversity in this volume: Menno Simons, a pacifist, and the Roman emperor Constantine, a general. Leaders of the Reformation—Luther, Calvin, Zwingli—and the Counter-Reformation—Ignatius Loyola and Teresa of Avila. Men and women. Teenagers such as Joan of Arc, and aged saints like Polycarp.

History isn’t just dates, statistics, and grand social movements. It’s people—people from many callings:

• Theologians—Athanasius and Jonathan Edwards
• Evangelists and Apologists—Justyn Martyr and Billy Graham
• Pastors and Preachers—John Chrysostom and Richard Baxter
• Musicians—Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frederic Handel
• Artists and Writers—Rembrandt and C. S. Lewis
• Poets—Dante and Fanny Crosby
• Denominational Founders—Richard Allen and Aimee Semple McPherson
• Movers and Shakers—Dominic and John Wycliffe
• Missionaries—Patrick and David Livingstone
• Inner Travelers—Brother Lawrence and Oswald Chambers
• Activists—Sojourner Truth and Lord Shaftesbury
• Rulers—Charlemagne and Henry VII
• Scholars and Scientists—Eusebius of Caesarea and Nicolas Copernicus
• Martyrs—Perpetua and Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Each personality sketch includes a timeline that gives the historical context in which that person lived. The book also contains a topical index that will help you find illustrations for teaching and preaching.

Some time spent with 131 Christians Everyone Should Know will forever enlarge your view of “the church as we see her spread through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners” (C. S. Lewis)—a spectacle that will inspire you to deeper thought and greater faithfulness.

The approach of this book is extremely simple, yet the product is absolutely fantastic. The editors of Christian History magazine (an outstanding periodical that I would recommend to anyone) have compiled a list of 131 key leaders in the history of Christianity, starting with Ignatius of Antioch and ending with Billy Graham. These key church figures are organized by category (Theologians, Poets, Missionaries, etc.), rather than by chronology…Each person is described in two to four pages, with an interesting mix of significant events and trivial factoids. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reading some fascinating snapshots into the lives of the key players in the story of Christianity. It would serve pastors well in helping to provide context for sermons. It would serve seminarians well as a quick reference to previous coursework that might need refreshing. And it would serve any faithful Christian well who is interested in reading about those who have gone on before us, providing the spiritual landscape that we now inhabit.

Harmony of the Gospels

• Authors: Steven L. Cox and Kendell H. Easley
• 372 pages
• Broadman & Holman Publishing Group | 1999, 2007

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Gospel harmonies were inevitable. One of the first impulses of someone studying a teaching or an event in Jesus’ life is to seek as many perspectives on that event as possible. Around A.D. 160 Tatian compiled a single narrative of the four Gospels, reducing the number of verses from 3,780 (four separate Gospels) to 2,769 verses without excluding any event or teaching from the life of Jesus.

This Harmony of the Gospels builds on a tradition of harmonization begun in the nineteenth century by John A. Broadus and continued by his protégé, A. T. Robertson.

The Harmony of the Gospels contains interpretive and clarifying notes by a number of scholars, some with differing views on the relationship between various Gospel accounts. Beyond the harmony, this volume includes articles designed to address issues that arise when one compares the four Gospels and seeks to give an integrated account of the life and teachings of Jesus. This harmony also contains eight four-color maps that illuminate the life and ministry of Jesus. This resource will be valuable to pastors and lay Bible teachers, and will serve well as a primary textbook in college and seminary courses on the Gospels and on the life and teachings of Jesus.

Steven L. Cox is Associate Professor of New Testament and Greek at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. He was educated at Anderson College, Central Wesleyan College, and Erskine Theological Seminary, and he received his Ph.D. from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Cox is author of A History and Critique of Scholarship Concerning the Markan Endings and Essentials of New Testament Greek: A Student’s Guide. He has extensive pastoral experience and is currently pastor of Big Creek Baptist Church, Millington, Tennessee.

Kendell H. Easley is Professor of Christian Studies and Program Director for the Master of Christian Studies, Union University. Dr. Easley has authored numerous books including 52 Words Every Christian Should Know, Quick Source Guide to Understanding the Bible, Holman Illustrated Guide to Biblical History, and the volume on Revelation in the Holman New Testament Commentary. He holds degrees from John Brown University, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
