From Whom No Secrets Are Hid
$35.00The Psalms express the most elemental human emotions, representing situations in which people are most vulnerable, ecstatic, or driven to the extremities of life and faith. Many people may be familiar with a few Psalms, or sing them as part of worship. Here highly respected author Walter Brueggemann offers readers an additional use for the Psalms: as scripted prayers we perform to help us reveal ourselves to God.
Brueggemann explores the rich historical, literary, theological, and spiritual content of the Psalms while focusing on various themes such as praise, lament, violence, and wisdom. He skillfully describes Israel’s expression of faith as sung through the Psalms, situates the Psalmic liturgical tradition in its ancient context, and encourages contemporary readers to continue to perform them as part of their own worship experiences. Brueggemann’s masterful take on the Psalms as prayers will help readers to unveil their hopes and fears before God and, in turn, feel God’s grace unveiled to them.

Gospel Of The Lord
$39.99In this book Michael Bird describes how the canonical Gospels originated from a process of oral tradition, literary composition, textual development, and reception in the early church with a view to showing what makes them among the most important writings in the New Testament.Bird explores how the Christian movement shaped the Gospels and, conversely, how these writings shaped the early church. He develops a distinctive evangelical-and-critical approach to the Gospels, deals with the Synoptic problem head-on, and explains the significance of the fourfold Gospel canon. The book includes a number of helpful excursuses on related topics.
All in all, Bird’s Gospel of the Lord clarifies the often-confusing debates over the origins of the Gospels and offers informed and soundly argued explanations that account for the content of the Gospels in the context of the wider Graeco-Roman world.

$45.99Scholars continue to unearth valuable understandings of the historical and religious worlds out of which the New Testament writings emerged.

“And behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom.” (Daniel 7:13-14 ESV). Perceiving a hole in evangelical biblical theology that should be filled with a robust treatment of the book of Daniel, James Hamilton takes this chance to delve into the book’s rich contribution to the Bible’s unfolding redemptive-historical storyline. By setting Daniel in the broader context of biblical theology, this canonical study helps move us toward a clearer understanding of how we should live today in response to its message. First, he shows how the book’s literary structure contributes to its meaning, and then addresses key questions and issues, concluding by examining typological patterns. Hamilton argues that the four kingdoms prophesied by Daniel are both historical and symbolic-that the “one like a son of man” seen by Daniel is identified with and distinguished from the Ancient of Days in a way that would be mysterious until Jesus came as both the son of David and God incarnate. He elaborates that the interpretations of Daniel in early Jewish literature attest to strategies similar to those employed by New Testament authors and exposes that those authors provide a Spirit-inspired interpretation of Daniel that was learned from Jesus. He also highlights how the book of Revelation uses Daniel’s language, imitates his structure, points to the fulfillment of his prophecies and clarifies the meaning of his “seventieth week.”Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Narrative Obtrusion In The Hebrew Bible
$81.66Narrative critics of the Hebrew Bible often describe the biblical narrators as “laconic,” “terse,” or “economical.” The narrators generally remain in the background, allowing the story to proceed while relying on characters and dialogue to provide necessary information to readers. On those occasions when these narrators add notes to their stories, scholars may characterize such interruptions as “asides” or redactions.
Christopher T. Paris calls attention to just these narrative interruptions, in which the storyteller “breaks frame” to provide information about a character or even in order to direct reader understanding and, Paris argues, to prevent undesirable construals or interpretations of the story.
After surveying the phenomenon of omniscient narration and narrative obtrusiveness in the Hebrew Bible and other ancient Near Eastern literature, Paris focuses on the Deuteronomistic History. Here the narrator occasionally obtrudes into the narrative to manage or deflect anticipated reader questions and assumptions, sometimes invoking the divine, sometimes protecting a favored character, in an interpretive stance that Paris compares with the commentary provided by later rabbis and in the Targums. Attention to narrative obtrusion offers an entry point into the world of the narrator, Paris argues, and thus promises to redefine aspects of narrative criticism.

Behind The Gospels
$56.66New Testament scholars often talk about “oral tradition” as a means by which material about Jesus reached the writers of the Gospels; but despite the recent flowering of interest in oral tradition, the study of memory, and the role of eye-witnesses, the latest scholarly advances have yet to fully penetrate the mainstream of academic Gospels scholarship, let alone the wider public. There is no convenient book-length treatment that can be used by students, or indeed by anyone else wishing to be informed about this crucial topic.
Behind the Gospels fills this gap, both by offering a general theoretical discussion of the nature of oral tradition and the formation of ancient texts, and by providing a critical survey of the field, from classical form-criticism down to the present day.

Unveiling The Mystery Of The Last Days
$19.99The secrets of the end times are hidden in scripture. The information in this book would be considered “top secret” in intelligence circles and represents truth that Satan does not want you to know. For years, he has been leading people to believe that a so-called Revived Roman Empire will rise, representing the “final beast empire” of Revelation 13. However, as this book will prove, the meanings of the original Hebrew in the Bible,in addition to numbers, patterns, and codes found therein, all point to an Israel centered interpretation of the last days and the fact that the beast is actually the religion and empire of Islam within religious Israel. In this fascinating study, you will explore the original text of the Bible to uncover exactly what will take place during the last days. You will also discover:
* How Yahweh uses the Hebrew language in His plan
* The meaning behind cryptic passages, such as Daniel 2, 7 and 9, and Revelation 13 and 17
* The mark, name of the beast, and 666 are all associated with the Islamic control of Israel
* Lucifer’s plan to trick the Jews of Israel to worship him instead of Yahweh
* The prophetic importance of 2020 and its relation to IslamThis ground-breaking research astoundingly supplements the recent findings of prominent Christian Islamic expositors, and is a must read for any serious truth seeker.

Unveiling The Time Of Jacobs Trouble
$19.99Astounding evidence that pinpoints the timing for Jesus’ return. The information in this book demolishes the boundaries and prohibitions of Christian, extra-biblical law. For years we have been led to believe it is sinful to speculate about the time of Jesus’ return a result of the misinterpretation of Matthew 24 and Mark 13 by the violation of the Law of Context. However, the secrets of the timing for Jesus’ return are actually hidden in the heavens and the biblical feasts, and this book will prove we are indeed admonished to watch for His appearing, and to number our days. In this fascinating Israel-centered and scientific study, you will explore the major calendars of the world only one of which reveals its true age of nearly 6,000 years. That same calendar contains the message of salvation-history in its months, and in its days it mirrors prophetic history from creation week. You will also discover: – The cycles of the heavenly lights are synchronous with prophetic history. – The constellations foretell the first and second comings of Jesus. – Tetrad moon eclipses in history mirrored the birth of Israel in 1948 and Israel’s recapture of Jerusalem in 1967. – The tetrad moon eclipses due in 2014/2015 mark the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week. – The timetable for the Great Tribulation is built into the Hebrew calendar and feasts. – The significance of the year 6000 on the Gregorian calendar. These are just some of the astounding evidences that all point to the same time for the arrival of Jesus in the year 6000. Unveiling the TIME of Jacob’s Trouble is a must read for any serious truth seeker.

Adam Had To Die
$13.73It all comes full circle. For countless people, the struggle to understand why God seemingly set us up to fail has kept them from having a relationship with Him. Exactly what is this mystery of sin and what is the real reason God put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden? In Adam Had to Die, Herbert J. Brunswick, Jr. takes you back to key biblical truths that give you a more complete picture of humanity than any you have ever had before.
A main component missing from organized church and religion is the natural principle of death generating life. It is a counterintuitive principle, but one that explains a lot about who God is and how everything He created works: “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit” (John 12:24).
How can death be the requisite for life? Understanding this principle unlocks the mystery of why the first two created beings were given the choice to disobey. It also explains that the woman was not created during the sixth day and that no one immediately goes to heaven when they die here on earth. If you want to know how the confusion and the holes in teaching about this topic have come to an end, read Adam Had to Die today.

Daniels Prophecies Of Covenant Change
$9.99The dream-visions of the Biblical book of Daniel, in which Daniel is given a glimpse into the future, are notoriously hard to understand at many points. What are the four kingdoms of Daniel 2 and 7? Who is the little horn of chapter 7? What event and what evil king are described in Dan. 8? How should we understand the 70 weeks and the abomination of desolation of Daniel 9? Who is the king highlighted at the end of chapter 11? And when is meant by the time of the end? These questions and more have often confounded the readers of Daniel, and a multitude of answers have been proposed. This book suggests that the key to answering all of these questions is in the change of Biblical Covenants from the Old Testament era to the new world of life in Jesus. All of these prophecies, properly understood, are different lenses on the same events, the same point in history, the coming of Jesus to establish the New Covenant through His birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and heavenly enthronement, and the formal end of the Old Covenant, resulting from the Jewish revolt against the Romans and the subsequent destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 AD.

In Search Of The Beginning
$27.99Do you believe–or at least suspect–that there is a Supreme Being behind the cosmos? Would you like to know more about him? Do you want to understand how, when, and why he created the universe? Or what will become of it in ages to come? If so, In Search of the Beginning was written especially for you. In it, author Dean Davis invites seekers of cosmological truth on a fascinating journey to the origin of the universe, life, and man. Along the way, you’ll consider how the journey can be made successfully–whether by scientific theorizing, mystical experience, or divine revelation. You will visit with philosophical naturalists, both ancient and modern. You’ll hear from pantheists, both classical and evolutionary. But most importantly, you’ll ponder afresh the cosmological views of one who is arguably the most trusted religious Teacher of all time. And you will not be disappointed with what he says. Throughout the journey, Davis shows himself a competent and compassionate guide. He holds degrees in both Philosophy and Theology, and has been an avid student of origins science for many years. Also, for four long years he made his own difficult pilgrimage toward spiritual reality–years that qualify him to speak with feeling and insight to seekers everywhere, especially those immersed in Eastern religions. In Search of the Beginning is unlike any book on cosmology you have ever read: informed, readable, spiritually minded, and at times even poetic. But more than this, it is a book that actually goessomewhere: to the beginning, and to the one who began it all!

Galatians Re Imagined
$65.00Brigitte Kahl brings to this insightful reading of Galatians a deep knowledge of the classical world and especially of Roman imperial ideology. The first wave of scholarship on the Roman imperial context of Paul’s letters raised important questions that only thorough treatments of individual letters can answer. Kahl sets the letter to the Galatians in the context of Roman perceptions of vanquished peoples as represented in the Great Altar at Pergamum. Beginning with a perceptive discussion of the Great Altar, Kahl describes imperial representations of Roman power as well as the characteristics officially imputed to conquered peoples, including the “savage” Galatians (Gauls).
Themes of imperial propaganda – order vs. lawlessness, civilization vs. barbarity, harmony vs. anarchy – echo in Paul’s letter and highlight the deeper issues at stake in the Galatian crisis. Paul’s struggle is motivated not by Jewish antagonists but by Gentile anxiety about status on a landscape where withdrawal from the civic celebrations of Rome’s glory was held in the gravest suspicion. Kahl offers a dramatic new interpretation of Galatians as an exhortation to stand with the powerless.

Sacred Witness : Rape In The Hebrew Bible
$58.33In Sacred Witness, Susanne Scholz discusses the wide range of rape texts in biblical literaturesome that long have troubled readers, others that should have but didn’t, such as texts of marital rape, for example, or metaphorical speech about God as rapist. Assuming the androcentric nature of these writings, Scholz asks how we may read these texts in order to find some redemptive meaning for women, children, and men who have been injured by sexual violence and by “cultures of rape.” Sacred Witness provides illuminating reflection on some of the most troubling texts in the Hebrew Bible.

Politics Of Heaven
$48.33In this provocative study, Joseph A. Marchal argues that biblical interpretation, but most especially Pauline studies, must engage the full range of critical challenges brought by feminist studies, postcolonial studies, and Roman imperial studies. A feminist, postcolonial analysis requires negotiating the gaps, overlaps, and tensions between these three “strands” by adopting an explicitly multi-axial focus and an interdisciplinary methodology. Using Philippians as a test case, the analysis covers issues of both ancient and contemporary import: from imitation and authority to travel and contact. As a result, Marchal provides strikingly new perspectives on Paul’s letters and fresh challenges to the paradigms of Pauline interpretation.

Survivors Journey Through The Bible
$24.98How are you dealing with the pain in your life? Are you using drugs, alcohol, food, unstable relationships, or some other way to “medicate” yourself?
This book, written by a clergy abuse survivor, invites you to meet with Jesus in His Word, the Bible, through daily readings, reflections, and prayers. This journey through the entire New American Bible offers you scriptural comfort, healing, guidance, and hope for change from being just a survivor, to a thriver in your daily life.
The life of Jesus was full of “Why me?” circumstances. After He was born, His family had to flee to another country to escape from those seeking to kill Him. If you are a refugee, so was Jesus. Some of the religious leaders of the day looked for ways to harm Jesus, and ultimately had Him crucified on a cross. If you have been harmed by someone in a faith community, so was Jesus. When He was headed to the cross, He was beaten, made fun of, and stripped naked. If you’ve been assaulted, bullied, or humiliated, so was Jesus. – Lea Karen Kivi, Author
This book will be a rich resource for many people. The reflections and questions help to focus on selected key points in a way that leads to personal application and prayer. – Dr. Eileen Schuller, Professor of Religious Studies, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario
In a day when addiction issues are permeating society, looking carefully at Scripture and some of the more difficult issues of life is a great investment of time. – Dr. Steve Stiles, Clinical Director of New Life Community Services, Santa Cruz, California

Almighty God
$18.11Mathematics has long been known as the universal language. In Almighty God, Charles D. Landis uses the numerical values of the Hebrew and Greek alphabets (neither written language contains number characters) in an attempt to bridge the gap of mistrust, and sometimes outright hostility, between theologians and scientists.
One of the big problems in our world today is that…Bible Scholars and Theologians speak and work with words, languages and philosophies, whereas Mathematicians and Scientists speak and work with measurements, numbers and tests. Both sides are proud of their accomplishments and ideas And find it difficult to respect and appreciate the other side…The purpose of this book is to use actual scientific measurements and data…to show how the Bible is just as relevant today as the latest scientific findings!
Complex, repeating patterns of numbers throughout the Bible have been well documented by Christian researchers. Because much of the focus of these studies involves prophecy, the more cautious of these scholars warn against using God’s Word for divination. Landis, however, looks not outward-though he does point out striking correlations among numerical values, calculated from Scripture, and major historic events-but deeply inward at the majesty of God etched into even the smallest particle of Creation.
The Lord Jesus Christ’s signature appears in all aspects of our physical universe. The number of His Name is inscribed from the smallest atom to the largest parts of our Solar System and beyond…All these scientific measurements actually show…the Creator put his Signature Stamp on all of Creation!…When Bible Scholars and Scientists use these numbers and letters, it is amazing how these disputing sides can come to understand each other once they see the numerical relationships.

IndexAdditional Info
In this study in three-dimensional character reconstruction, Cornelis Bennema presents a new theory of character in the New Testament literature. Although character has been the subject of focused literary-critical study of the New Testament since the 1970s, Bennema observes that there is still no consensus regarding how character should be understood in contemporary literary theory or in biblical studies.Many New Testament scholars seem to presume that characters in Greco-Roman literature are two-dimensional, “Aristotelian” figures, unlike the well-rounded, psychologized individuals who appear in modern fiction. They continue nevertheless to apply contemporary literary theory to characters in ancient writings. Bennema here offers a full, comprehensive, and non-reductionist theory for the analysis, classification, and evaluation of characters in the New Testament.

Judas Brief : A Critical Investigation Into The Arrest And Trials Of Jesus
$24.93Pereset Press
Based on detailed historical evidence and logical analysis of inconsistencies within the gospel accounts of the events leading up to the arrest and execution of Jesus, Greenberg argues that Judas never betrayed Jesus and that the Jewish priests never sought to have Jesus executed. According to Greenberg, Judas, acting on behalf of Jesus, together with the Jewish High Priest, negotiated a deal with Pilate to avoid Roman military assaults in a crowded city by keeping Jesus under house arrest with the High Priest until after the Passover holiday and then allowing him to go back to Galilee. But Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee, feared Jesus’ popularity back home and successfully pressured Pilate to break the agreement and execute Jesus. This landmark study is the first major historically-based challenge to Christian accusations of Jewish involvement in the death of Jesus. Catholic Biblical Quarterly wrote that Greenberg “has a keen eye for the ways religious and political motives have shaped the story of Jesus’ arrest and execution.”Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Can We Still Believe The Bible (Reprinted)
$34.11Challenges to the reliability of Scripture are perennial and have frequently been addressed. However, some of these challenges are noticeably more common today, and the topic is currently of particular interest among evangelicals
.
In this volume, highly regarded biblical scholar Craig Blomberg offers an accessible and nuanced argument for the Bible’s reliability in response to the extreme views about Scripture and its authority articulated by both sides of the debate. He believes that a careful analysis of the relevant evidence shows we have reason to be more confident in the Bible than ever before. As he traces his own academic and spiritual journey, Blomberg sketches out the case for confidence in the Bible in spite of various challenges to the trustworthiness of Scripture, offering a positive, informed, and defensible approach.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Pattern And The Prophecy
$36.00We live in perilous times: the truths of Christianity are under daily attack. Anti-religious books are everywhere – even in “Christian” bookstores. Consider The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, God is not great by Christopher Hitchens, or The End of Faith by Sam Harris. These books and others are converting America to a secular, atheist state. Plus, Islam is growing worldwide. Fewer people identify themselves as Christians than in the past, a decrease of 10 to 20 percent in just the last few years. Young people are leaving the church in record numbers, as many as 70 percent in a decade. Intellectual skepticism is growing at an unprecedented pace as the truths of the Gospels are under daily assault. What can we do? Clearly we must confront these attacks and beat them at their own game: reason and science. James Harrison shows us how to do this in The Pattern & The Prophecy: God’s Great Code. At the core of all the sciences is mathematics. The author proves God put as much mathematics into His Word as he placed in His Works. Everyone knows the number of the Antichrist, but who knows the number of Christ or the number of Jesus? And how is Jesus’ number related to Noah, to being born again, and the resurrection. And since fishermen never count fish, what is the purpose of exactly 153 fish from John 21:11? Harrison reveals all this and much, much more proving mathematics lies at the heart of God’s Holy Word from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, the Bible’s first and last verses. Armed with this absolute certainty Christians can convert any non-believer. As Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon forged against you will prevail.” After reading this book, you will be an expert on the Bible’s patterns, numbers, and symbolism. You have never read like this before – a book that comes along once in a lifetime to change lives forever. This book is destined to become an American classic. Look for yourself! Included are many color photographs, numerous illustrations, bibliography, proofs, and three indexes: scriptural, number, and subject. Easy to read and informative, this book will enrich the spiritual life of every Christian. This book has garnered a consistent string of rave reviews – here are two: The author, guided by the Holy Spirit, connects Old Testament dates and history and connects them to New Testament reality, straight forward to our days. With even-handed treatment that presents different views in an organized and logical form, The Pattern & The Prophecy is a grea

God Man And Common Sense
$19.36We are living proof that creation occurred. The only question is; how did it occur? In this book we will use the Bible and our God given common sense to seek the truth and the truth has no middle ground. One caution: In seeking the truth we will only use what the Bible actually says; not what we might have been told or taught it says.
America is becoming a Godless nation and the ones of us that are age 50 or older have let it happen; on our watch. Our Forefathers gave us a God Fearing Christian Nation with Jesus Christ at the heart and center, and we have let our elected political leaders appoint atheist judges that have kicked God out of our schools, court houses and public life in general.
The chapter, God’s Creation may be controversial to some Christians. If you are an Old Earth Creationist, please read the entire chapter before you judge this work. I make the same challenge to the Young Earth Creationists. Regardless of when Creation of the Universe occurred, the Bible is very clear that Adam & Eve were on Earth only 6,000 to 10,000 years ago.
I am neither an ordained minister nor a Bible theologian and my only qualification for writing this book is: I believe God wanted it written. After you read the chapter, God in Action, I believe you will understand why.I am a Baptist by faith, but the important thing is, I am a member of Christ’s Church and His Church is not of this earth. As such, I cannot guarantee you will like this book, but I can guarantee that it will be different from any book you have ever read.

Wisdoms Wonder : Character Creation And Crisis In The Bibles Wisdom Literat
$28.99Explores the biblical wisdom books anew through the interpretive lens of wonder
Wisdom’s Wonder offers a fresh reading of the Hebrew Bible’s wisdom literature with a unique emphasis on “wonder” as the framework for understanding biblical wisdom. William Brown argues that wonder effectively integrates biblical wisdom’s emphasis on character formation and its outlook on creation, effectively breaking an impasse that has plagued recent wisdom studies.Drawing from various disciplines — from philosophy to neuroscience — Brown discovers new distinctions and connections among Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. Central to each book, he claims, are certain “texts of tremendum,” which evoke the wide range of wonder’s nuance, from “fear seeking understanding” to confounding perplexity to unbridled joy.
An extensive revision and expansion of Brown’s Character in Crisis (Eerdmans, 1996), this book demonstrates that the wisdom books are much more than simply advice literature — with wonder as the foundation for understanding, Brown maintains that wisdom is a process with transformation of the self as the goal.
