Bible Handbook To Revelation
$32.99As the climactic book of the New Testament, Revelation takes its readers through the pangs and throes of the world’s death and then ushers them into the brilliance of the new and eternal state to come. Revelation is one of the Bible’s “bookends,” finishing with a triumphal sweep what Genesis begins. Yet because of its pictoral language and the complexity of its message, Revelation is often overlooked by believers who are convinced it’s too difficult to understand.
In this theological and textual guide to the book of Revelation, leading evangelical educators combine their efforts to examine the issues that most interest and sometimes trouble twenty-first century readers. With verse-by-verse explanations and background analysis, this handbook is a tremendous aid to understanding the scope of Revelation. Topics covered include a comparison of the ways the book of Revelations has been interpreted throughout history, as well as an understanding of the book’s structure. Other articles probe the book’s presentation of the persons of the Trinity, the church, humanity, angels, salvation, and judgment.

Ecclesiastes : Ancient Wisdom When All Else Fails
$18.99IVP Print On Demand Title
Recipient of a 2002 Christianity Today Award of Merit! “Meaningless!” says Ecclesiastes. “All is meaningless!” We live. We work. We die. Even with our best efforts to find lasting enjoyment and significance, we are faced with the conclusion that there is nothing new under the sun. Despite this gloomy assessment (or perhaps because of it), people have been drawn to the Middle Eastern wisdom of this enigmatic book for thousands of years. Its brutal honesty doesn’t flinch from life’s difficulties or its thorniest problems. The new translation and interpretive paraphrase provided here by T. M. Moore artfully unveils the ancient mysteries of this often puzzling book. By its very cynicism, Ecclesiastes seems to suggest that to find what is of enduring value we must embrace the hard things, not avoid them. With notes and a useful study guide, Moore skillfully shows us that the dark side will have its say. The question is, will it have the last word?

Gospel Of Mark
$47.99472 Pages
Additional Info
This superb commentary offers the first sustained attempt to read the Gospel of Mark both as an ancient biography and as a form of ancient rhetoric.

Romans : From Biblical Text To Contemporary Life
$53.99Our culture does not encourage thoughtful reflection on truth. Yet living the gospel in a postmodern culture demands that Christians understand and internalize the truth about God and his plan for the world. Paul’s letter to the Romans remains one of the most important expressions of Christian truth ever written. Its message forces us to evaluate who we are, who God is, and what our place in this world ought to be. Going beyond the usual commentary, this volume brings the meaning of Paul’s great letter into the twenty-first century. Douglas Moo comments on the text and then explores issues in Paul’s culture and in ours that help us understand the ultimate meaning of each paragraph. A final section suggests ways in which the eternal theology of Romans can be understood and lived out in our modern culture.

Exodus : Believers Church Bible Commentary
$34.991. The Salvation Of Moses
2. The Commissioning Of Moses
3. Realization Focus On Isreal
4. The Commissioning Of IsraelAdditional Info
To whom does primary allegiance belong? To great human empires, or to the God whose elusive presence we can never fully grasp?Waldemar Janzen offers a fresh approach to the book of Exodus. The liberation from Egypt is a prelude to Israel’s unique calling to model before the nations a new life of service under God.
Through the subtly prepared servant Moses, God wages a dramatic battle with Egypt’s ruler for the release of enslaved Israel. The watching Israel wavers: “Is the Lord among us or not?”
Even after Israel covenants to be God’s priestly kingdom and holy nation, Israel worships a golden calf. Once more God’s brace wrests Israel away, this time from slavery to doubts, fears, and self-centeredness. The people then focus faith on the imageless presence of God in their midst. God still wrestles for his people today.

Social Science Commentary On The Book Of Revelation
$53.33The author of Revelation presents himself as John, the astral seer, who professes faith in the Resurrected Jesus and who belonged to the house of Israel. John writes of traveling in to the sky; but this perspective of “sky-visions” is completely neglected in the traditional commentaries and studies on Revelation. Malina and Pilch demonstrate the necessity of taking ancient sky-interpretation seriously for reading the book of Revelation in its first-century context.

“Trafton has produced a clear, understandable, insightful reading of the book of Revelation-not an easy task for a book that has left many readers puzzled and confused. One of the particular strengths of Trafton’s commentary is his close attention to the structure of John’s work and the internal connections between various passages of the book. Readers will also benefit from Trafton’s identification of John’s extensive indebtedness to the Hebrew Bible for much of his imagery and ideas.”-Mitchell G. Reddish

Acts (Student/Study Guide)

The resurrection and ascension of Jesus became the beginnings of the life of the believer, who is empowered by the Spirit to go to every extreme to make known the message of God’s saving acts in Christ.

Proverbs Ecclesiastes And The Song Of Songs
$40.00Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs, though entirely different books, are similar in that they provide spiritual guidance about what it means to live wisely before God. In this thorough and readable commentary, Ellen Davis points out that the writers of these books considered wisdom and the fruits of wisdom – a well-ordered life and a peaceful mind – to be within the grasp of all those wholeheartedly desiring it.
From the confident “wise dealing” instructions in Proverbs, to the world-weariness of Ecclesiastes, to the exuberance of the Song of Songs, these books take the reader through the full range of human emotion. Their words cause one to reflect on both the ordinary and the extraordinary experiences of life: birth and death, poverty and wealth, education and work, grief and joy, human love and love of God. Though books of ancient wisdom, they continue to speak with particular power to the spiritual needs of our highly secularized age.

THE LETTERS OF JOHN AND JUDEThe four letters in this volume all deal with heretical teachings within the early church. Dr. Barclay describes the various forms in which Gnosticism appeared in I John, pointing out that the notions that the material world and the human body are evil still infect the thinking of some Christians. II and III John are warnings against wandering preachers who taught false doctrines, and against individuals within the church who repudiated the writer’s authority. Jude is a strong indictment of immoral persons (antinomians) who had insinuated themselves into the church.

Although the book never says so, from the earliest times Luke has been held to be its writer.” He wrote both his gospel and Acts for the principal purpose of showing how the new faith that began so humbly in Palestine had expanded. Dr. Barclay discusses the plan in Acts, Luke’s skill as a historian, the accuracy of his sources, and the honesty with which he used them.

Revelation Of John 1

THE REVELATION OF JOHN, Volume 1 (Chapters 1 to 5)In this and its companion volume, Dr. Barclay makes the most difficult book in the Bible easier to understand. In his introduction he examines areas such as the characteristics of apocalyptic literature and the nature of Caesar worship. John was, as Dr. Barclay shows, “soaked and saturated” in the Old Testament, and most of the imagery he employs is drawn from that source. Dr. Barclay does more than clarify the meaning of the imagery. His commentary covers the central issues of the book, such as the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the probable facts about John’s exile on the island, and the meaning of Christ’s knocking at the door.

THE LETTER TO THE ROMANSDr. Barclay’s fresh translation and clear exposition make Paul’s very complicated letter to the church in Rome easier than ever to understand. Both in mood and in method Romans is entirely different from Paul’s other writings. Here he is setting down in a systematic fashion the essence of his faith-bequeathing in a “theological last will and testament” the ideas which have most shaped Christian belief: the questions of righteousness, of the Jews as the Chosen People, and of how people of faith are to live their daily lives. Paul’s deep meanings shine brilliantly here, thanks to Dr. Barclay’s ability to explain the letter to the Romans to every reader.
