$24.99All You Want to Know About Hell breaks down the three most popular views on hell and tells us what the Bible really says about this terrifying and mystifying place.

Additional Info
Unlike many books on the New Testament canon, this book does not seek to explain Why these books and no others? It asks the question Why is there a NT at all? Was the notion of a canon of literature out of sync with the earliest Christian movement? Michael Kruger challenges commonly held views on the emergence of the NT canon.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

New Testament : Methods And Meanings
$56.99In this concise, accessible book, Warren Carter and A.J. Levine introduce three aspects of New Testament study: the world of the text (plots, characters, setting, and themes), the world behind the text (the concerns, circumstances, and experiences of the early Christian communities), and the world in front of the text (the meaning for contemporary readers). As students engage the New Testament, they face a central issue that has confronted all students before them, namely, that these texts have been and are read in diverse and often quite conflicting ways. These multiple readings involve different methods: historical-critical, traditional (history of interpretation), colonial, multicultural, and sociological, with feminist and liberationist implications for the first-century readers as well as the ongoing implications for today’s reader. For example, Carter and Levine show how a text can be used by both colonizer and colonized, feminist and anti-feminist, or pro- and anti-Jewish. The authors also show how scholarly work can be both constructive and threatening to the contemporary Church and how polemical texts can be used, whether for religious study, theological reflection, or homiletical practice.

Bible And The Law Of Attraction
$12.99Sea Raven Press
From the first page of Genesis to the last page of Revelation, the Bible overflows with thousands of scriptures on one of God’s most spectacular gifts to humanity: the Law of Attraction! While some are obvious, many are buried beneath the traditional arcane language that is so often used by great spiritually enlightened teachers. In “The Bible and the Law of Attraction: 99 Teachings of Jesus, the Apostles, and the Prophets,” award-winning author, historian, and Bible scholar Lochlainn Seabrook remedies this situation by bringing to light some of the more powerful Law of Attraction principles recorded in the Good Book. Excerpted from the King James Version, each scripture is explained in modern English, in most cases with a helpful translation of its inner or esoteric meaning. Among the many lessons you will learn are how to approach God with your requests, the vital importance of thought, faith, and love, how to heal any disease, the startling reality of your divine nature, why you are entitled to be happy, healthy, and prosperous, the reasons God wants you to live the good life, how to correctly use your thoughts to “enter the Kingdom of Heaven,” and the true meaning of many of the coded words used by the Bible’s Law of Attraction teachers. With nearly 650 endnotes and over a thousand scriptural references, “The Bible and the Law of Attraction” is the perfect guide to get you started on the road to creating your ideal life! Lochlainn Seabrook is the recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and is the author of over thirty popular books for all ages, including his companion book, the self-help blockbuster, “Jesus and the Law of Attraction: The Bible-Based Guide to Creating Perfect Health, Wealth, and Happiness Following Christ’s Simple Formula.”Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Born Of A Virgin
$38.99This book will appeal to those many Christians who struggle with the concept of the virgin birth. Andrew Lincoln’s Born of a Virgin? begins by discussing why the virgin birth is such a difficult and divisive topic for Christians. The book then deals with a whole range of literary, historical, and hermeneutical issues from a perspective that takes seriously creedal confessions and theological concerns.
As part of his exegetical investigation of the New Testament texts, Lincoln considers the literary genre and distinctive characteristics of the birth narratives as ancient biography. Further, he delineates how changes in our views of history and biology decisively affect any traditional understanding of the significance of an actual virgin birth, and he explores what that means for the authority of Scripture and creed, along with implications for Christology and for preaching and teaching from the birth narratives.

Glimpsing Into The Kingdom
$11.99“Friend, your sins are forgiven.” That is what Jesus said. And that is good news indeed. Now what?
This is the question that confronts all of us who come to faith in Christ. Just as the demon-possessed man was left with a gnawing sense of unknowing, we are left with that same feeling. We know that what we were is not what we are to be. And we know that the process of becoming is a great metamorphosis.
To understand the glimpses of truth in the kingdom teachings is to peer down the road a ways into a great adventure with God.
In this new kingdom we have entered, the king himself calls us friend and tells us something brand new about us: our sins are forgiven. Whereas before our identities have been forged by brokenness, deception, shame, and hurt, our new identities are something else altogether. We are kingdom citizens, intent on being about the business of the kingdom.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Oral Gospel Tradition
$48.99The traditions about Jesus and his teaching circulated in oral form for many years, continuing to do so for decades following the writing of the New Testament Gospels. James Dunn is one of the major voices urging that more consideration needs to be given to the oral use and transmission of the Jesus tradition as a major factor in giving the Synoptic tradition its enduring character.

How To Like Paul Again
$16.99Paul’s character in 3-D
You know you’re suppose to like him, but you just don’t. Maybe it’s the authoritarianism, maybe it’s the arrogance, maybe it’s the views he seems to hold, maybe it’s the way he drones on and on until you’re falling asleeo. Well… you’re not the only one. None of that is new. Not even the last bit (see Acts 20:9)
But there’s a secret to liking an initially unlikeable person like Paul: walk a mile in his moccasins. Or three. This small book aims to take you inside three controversies Paul faced. Would you have advised him to do anything different? Would you have done as well as he did?
This is a quick and entertaining introduction to the letters of Paul, from which you’ll also learn about yourself.

Arguing With God
$80.00This is the first English translation of Bernd Janowski’s incisive anthropological study of the Psalms, originally published in German in 2003 as Konfliktgesprache mit Gott. Eine Anthropologie der Psalmen (Neukirchener). Janowski begins with an introduction to Old Testament anthropology, concentrating on themes of being forsaken by God, enmity, legal difficulties, and sickness. Each chapter defines a problem and considers it in relation to anthropological insights from related fields of study and a thematically relevant example from the Psalms, including how a central aspect of this Psalm is explored in other Old Testament or Ancient Near Eastern texts. Each chapter concludes with an “Anthropological Keyword,” which explores especially important words and phrases in the Psalms. The book also includes reflections on reading the Psalms from a New Testament perspective, focusing on themes of transience, praising God, salvation from death, and trust in God. Janowski’s study demonstrates how the Psalms have important theological implications and ultimately help us to understand what it means to be human.

Children Are Not The Centre Of The World.Additional Info
Numerous books set out to help Christian parents in the challenging mission of raising their children well-so what’s different about this one? Well, the answer’s in the title! It’s not about how the gospel fits into Christian family life, but how family life should fit into the gospel-God’s greatest purpose for this universe, achieved in Christ.Many books aim to raise up competent, balanced parents and well-trained, well-rounded children. But Tim Chester and Ed Moll focus on families growing God-knowing, Christ-confessing, grace-receiving, servant-hearted, mission-minded believers-adults and children together.
Christian families should be about…
– not just making good citizens but also church planters, missionaries, reformers, servants and evangelists
– not just learning about God but also showing Him to others;
– not just controlling behaviour but also changing the heart;
– not just parents and children, but being an integral part of the wider church family.In twelve concise chapters, Gospel-Centered Family takes us through the major Bible principles for family life, challenging us to give up our ‘respectable’ middle-class idols, and to become the distinctively different people that God, through His gospel, calls us to be.

Further ReadingAdditional Info
Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of “marriage”. It’s not just the famous “marriage passages” that shape a gospel-centred marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God’s good creation, humanity’s wicked rebellion and God’s gracious redemption.To understand why marriages struggle-as they all do-we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and His salvation.
This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the Gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the Gospel can shape a response.

Outside The Bible 3 Volume Set
$300.00The Jewish Publication Society
The Hebrew Bible is only part of ancient Israel’s writings. Another collection of Jewish works has survived from late- and post-biblical times, a great library that bears witness to the rich spiritual life of Jews in that period. This library consists of the most varied sorts of texts: apocalyptic visions and prophecies, folktales and legends, collections of wise sayings, laws and rules of conduct, commentaries on Scripture, ancient prayers, and much, much more.While specialists have studied individual texts or subsections of this vast library, Outside the Bible seeks for the first time to bring together all the major components into a single collection, gathering portions of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, the biblical Apocrypha, and Pseudepigrapha, and the writings of Philo of Alexandria and Josephus.
The editors have brought together these diverse works in order to highlight what has often been neglected; their common Jewish background. For this reason the commentaries that accompany the texts devote special attention to references to Hebrew Scripture and to issues of halakhah (Jewish law), their allusions to motifs and themes known from later Rabbinic writings in Talmud and Midrash, their evocation of recent or distant events in Jewish history, and their references to other texts in this collection.
The work of more than seventy contributing experts in a range of fields, Outside the Bible offers new insights into the development of Judaism and Early Christianity. This three-volume set of translations, introductions, and detailed commentaries is a must for scholars, students, and anyone interested in this great body of ancient Jewish writings.
The collection includes a general introduction and opening essays, new and revised translations, and detailed introductions, commentaries, and notes that place each text in its historical and cultural context. A timeline of the Second Temple Period, two appendixes (Books of the Bible; Second Temple Literature), and a general subject index complete the set.

Story Of Jesus In History And Faith
$32.00Many books are available on the historical Jesus, but few address issues that are critically central to Christian faith–namely Jesus as resurrected Lord, Christ, and Son of God. This comprehensive introduction to the study of the historical Jesus takes both scholarship and Christian faith seriously.
Leading New Testament scholar Lee Martin McDonald brings together two critically important dimensions of the story of Jesus: what we can know about him in his historical context and what we can responsibly claim about his significance for faith today. McDonald examines the most important aspects of the story of Jesus from his birth to his resurrection and introduces key issues and approaches in the study of the historical Jesus. He also considers faith issues, taking account of theological perspectives that secular historiography cannot address. The book incorporates excerpts from primary sources and includes a map and tables.

Jewish Christian Interpretation Of The Pentateuch
$59.00The pseudo-Clementine writings are one of the most intriguing and valuable sources for early Jewish Christianity. They offer a second- or third-century polemic against the form of Christianity that eventually won out, the Gentile-majority, law-free Christianity that took Paul as its champion. Carlson’s interest here is in the highly unusual theory expressed in the Homilies that the Pentateuch is saturated with “false pericopes,” and that the teaching of Jesus, the “true prophet,” is the criterion for establishing what the Pentateuch really means.

It’s the hot topic of the moment. Christians, the church and the Bible seem to be out of step with modern attitudes towards homosexuality.

And what do we say, and how do we relate to to both Christians and non Christians who experience same-sex attraction.In this short, simple book, Sam Allberry wants to help confused Christians understand what God has said about these questions in the scriptures, and offers a positive and liberating way forward through the debate.

Case For Amillennialism (Reprinted)
$24.00Amillennialism; dispensational premillennialism, historic premillennialism, postmillennialism, preterism. These are difficult words to pronounce and even harder concepts to understand. A case for Amillennialism is an accessible look at the crucial theological question of the millennium in the context of contemporary evangelicalism.
Recognizing that eschatology–the study of future things–is a complicated and controversial subject, Kim Riddlebarger provides definitions of key terms and a helpful overview of various viewpoints. He examines related biblical topics as a backdrop to understanding the subject and discusses important passages of Scripture that bear upon the millennial question.
Regardless of their stance, readers will find helpful insight as Riddlebarger evaluates the main problems facing each of the major millennial positions and cautions readers to be aware of the spiraling consequences of each view.

Index Of Scripture ReferencesAdditional Info
Preaching’s Preacher’s Guide to the Best Bible Reference for 2014 (Pauline Studies)“For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God” (1 Cor 7:19). The apostle Paul’s relationship to the Law of Moses is notoriously complex and much studied. Difficulties begin with questions of definition (of the extent of Paul’s corpus and the meanings of “the law”) and are exacerbated by numerous problems of interpretation of the key texts. Major positions are entrenched, yet none of them seems to know what to do with all the pieces of the puzzle. Inextricably linked to Paul’s view of the law is his teaching concerning salvation history, Israel, the church, anthropology, ethics and eschatology. Understanding “Paul and the law” is critical to the study of the New Testament, because it touches on the perennial question of the relationship between the grace of God in the gift of salvation and the demand of God in the call for holy living. Misunderstanding can lead to distortions of one or both. This New Studies in Biblical Theology volume is something of a breakthrough, bringing neglected evidence to the discussion and asking different questions of the material, while also building on the work of others. Brian Rosner argues that Paul undertakes a polemical re-evaluation of the Law of Moses, which involves not only its repudiation as law-covenant and its replacement by other things, but also its wholehearted re-appropriation as prophecy (with reference to the gospel) and as wisdom (for Christian living).
Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

Israels Poetry Of Resistance
$32.00Noting that Israel’s earliest responses to earth-shaking changes were cast in the powerfully expressive language of poetry, Hugh R. Page Jr. argues that the careful collection and preservation of these traditions-now found in every part of the Hebrew Bible-was an act of resistance, a communal no to the forces of despair and a yes to the creative power of the Spirit.
Further, Page argues, the power of these poems to craft and shape a future for a people who had suffered acute displacement and marginalization offers a rich spiritual repertoire for Africana peoples today, and for all who find themselves perennially outside the social or political mainstream. Here Page offers fresh translations and brief commentary on the Bible’s fifteen earliest poems, and explores the power and relevance of these poems, and the ancient mythic themes behind them, for contemporary life at the margins.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Researchers Library Of Ancient Texts Volume 3
$29.95The Septuagint (or “LXX”, or “Greek Old Testament”) is a translation of the Hebrew Old Testament and certain Apocrypha, which was sponsored according to tradition in the late 3rd century BC by Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the king of Ptolemaic Egypt (283 BC to 246 BC). The Greek translation was originally created for use by the Alexandrian Jews who were fluent in Koine Greek, but not in Hebrew. Thus the Septuagint is sometimes called the “Apostle’s Bible” and the one that Jesus and his disciples would have had access to. It is quoted in the New Testament by writers such as the Apostle Paul, and remained the Scripture of use by the Apostolic Fathers. The translation of the Septuagint into English by Sir Lancelot C. L. Brenton was first published in 1851 and was based primarily upon the Codex Vaticanus, one of the oldest extant manuscripts of the Greek Bible. It remains the standard of use by many scholars and students of Scripture and history. Contained in this volume (The Researchers Library of Ancient Texts Volume III): The English Translation of the Greek Septuagint Bible, Including the Apocrypha.

Delighting In The Law Of The Lord
$30.00Our culture has a few catch phrases: Be who you want to be; Do what makes you happy. We are told to do our own thing and follow our own rules, which often makes the Bible appear to be oppressively restrictive and hopelessly outdated, even to Christians! Responding to the misdirection of our society and misperceptions the church has of God’s law, Professor Jerram Barrs helps readers recognize the beauty in and purpose of God’s rules for living healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives. From the Old Testament to the New, Barrs demonstrates how God’s commands to his people were intended to protect them from sin and direct them in godliness. Rejecting the idea that we can earn God’s favor through good works, Barrs nevertheless highlights how God’s commands should spur us to obedience and ultimately remind us of grace.

*Who were the Pharisees and why was Jesus upset with them?
*Why didn’t anyone like the Samaritans?
*When and why did the Jews start worshiping in “synagogues” rather than the Temple?The book will include call-out boxes, summaries, and other tools to make this the most accessible book available on the topic.

Drama Of Redemption
$20.00How do you make the Bible, especially the Old Testament, relevant, interesting, and even exciting to your students? How do you avoid getting bogged down in all the events, commands, and applications? And how do you make the stories of those seemingly remote “heroes of faith” timely in the twenty-first century?
The Drama of Redemption gives you the answer-bring Jesus into the story! Don’t lose Him in the details. He is in the Garden of Eden, on Mount Moriah, and on Jacob’s ladder. His shadow is in the Jewish feast days, in the tabernacle, and the Day of Atonement.

Killing Jesus : The Hidden Drama Behind The World s Most Famous Execution
$36.00TORTURE – INFANTICIDE – BRUTALITY – MURDER
The World Would Never Be the Same
“The execution of Jesus was a crime born of the streets, the barracks, the enclaves of the privileged, and the smoke-filled back rooms of religious and political power brokers. Its meaning lives in these places still.”
It is the most fiercely debated murder of all time. Its symbol is worn by billions of people worldwide. Its spiritual meaning is invoked daily in time-honored rituals. In Killing Jesus, New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield masterfully recounts the corrupt trial and grisly execution of Jesus more than two thousand years ago.
Approaching the story at its most human level, Mansfield uses both secular sources and biblical accounts to bring fresh perspective to the human drama, political intrigue, and criminal network behind the killing of the world’s most famous man

Jeremiah Project Part 1
$27.95Turn off all the noise, and get yourself comfortable. Jeremiah invites you in. The Jeremiah Project Part 1-The Scrapbook has the bones of a study guide but as Scripture is searched and questions are answered the study takes on the form of a novelette. The study begins with Jeremiah’s official appointment. Jeremiah will represent the Lord in a monumental court case that administers justice. This case still affects us today. The Lord had a legal and binding relationship with Israel. Their relationship is compared to marriage in this study of God’s Word. When God acquired Israel as a vessel-bride, Israel acquired God’s promises, which were outlined in a living and breathing contract. The once gracious contract which united the two parties in holy union has by legal recourse become a beast which, in study, serves to bind the pair in its merciless grip. The Jeremiah Project Part 1-The Scrapbook is a user-friendly study that you cannot afford to miss. It’s like finding a few more pieces to that big puzzle of life. Some of us have a good start at putting it all together, but the picture of life becomes a little clearer and makes more sense after spending some time with Jeremiah. You will find insightful information as he, by appointment from God, delivers wisdom, comfort, and strength that will get many through the upheaval in our world.

Divine Revelation In The Book Of Revelation
$15.99This book, Divine Revelation in the Book of Revelation, was written for everyone who is looking for the truth. It offers a biblical interpretation of the book of Revelation. The visions given to St. John are not easy to interpret – but they were neither fulfilled in the first century nor do they teach the millennial reign of Christ, which will begin at His second coming, as many interpreters claim. The visions in the book of Revelation are about “the present age” (Eph. 1:21) – the time between the two comings of Christ. A great part of the book of Revelation also describes the events of the second coming of Christ. This book provides the readers with a proper understanding of the visions in the book of Revelation. It offers the truth that is indispensable for the defense of our faith. MARTINA DOMINIK is an independent author from the Czech Republic. The book, Divine Revelation in the Book of Revelation, is her first published book.

Ezekiels Temple : A Scriptural Framework Illustrating The Covenant Of Grace (Rev
$12.49EZEKIEL’S TEMPLE A Scriptural Framework Illustrating THE Covenant of Grace Bible readers have long pondered the complicated Temple vision in Ezekiel’s last nine chapters. In an attempt to explain why this vision is in the Bible, this study focuses especially on what the prophet was explicitly told to show Israel-the Temple’s “design,” “plan,” or “layout,” and in particular its “exits and entrances” (Ezek. 43:11). In these pages, a practicing professional architect who has pondered the Temple for some five decades shows how Ezekiel’s mysterious “plan,” with its complex system of “exits and entrances,” presents in symbolic forms a stunning visual portrait of God’s eternal Covenant with Israel and-through that-the work of Messiah. Emil Heller Henning III was born in Boston in 1946, educated in the Baltimore Public Schools, and holds A.B. and Master of Architecture degrees from Washington University in St. Louis. He worked one summer in graduate school for a Boston firm that pioneered “wayfinding” concepts to help people navigate subway systems and sprawling building complexes. While there he assisted in the design of orientation maps and signs for a campus of over 100 interconnected buildings. For three years he was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, after which he worked for architecture firms in North and South Carolina. He is today a Registered Architect in South Carolina, where he has a small architectural practice and serves as a Ruling Elder at Second Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Greenville, S.C.

From Creation To The Cross
$29.99Most Christians don’t quite know what to do with the first half of the Bible. Some are fascinated by the historical sweep of the Old Testament. Others are blessed by its poetry. Still others focus on its prophecies. But what are the heart and soul of the Old Testament? In From Creation to the Cross, Al Baylis is a guide who shares with us his love for, and profound understanding of, the Old Testament. He walks us through the Old Testament, pointing out along the way perspectives and insights that leave us with a new, personal understanding of these thirty-nine books — and more importantly, of the God of the Old Testament, who lovingly prepared the way before sending his Son. As Bruce Wilkinson puts it in the Foreword, ‘I could almost picture (Baylis) as a seasoned rabbi surrounded by a huddle of eager listeners. He doesn’t simply teach the Old Testament; it’s as if he personally reminisces through it.’ From Creation to the Cross is one of those rare books that speaks to a wide range of readers, from high school students to homemakers to college professors. This revised and expanded edition of On the Way to Jesus makes this unique and highly readable approach to the first half of the Bible available once again. It is ideally suited for use in Bible study groups.
