Where You Go I Shall
$14.95Where You Go, I Shall is a book that was born of experience and need. The authors, two of whom are widows and the third an Episcopal priest, were participants in a monthly support group for widows and discovered that many of the Bible’s remarkable women-Mary, Ruth, Naomi, Abigail, Anna, Tamar, Judith, and some who are unnamed-are widows. In this book, they tell and reflect upon the biblical stories, offering background for greater understanding, and the two authors who are themselves widows also reflect upon aspects of their own widowhood that relate to the biblical story. The result is a book that will provide understanding and comfort not only for widows but for all who love, care for, and minister to individuals who have been widowed.

“Jesus and the Gospels” is one of the most popular religion courses at colleges, and it is required at many seminaries and divinity schools.This textbook, written by an award-winning educator, is designed for a semester-long course in both these settings. Moreover, it could be used as a supplementary text in courses on christology, the historical Jesus, New Testament literature, and the Bible. Murphy will provide an introduction to the gospels that does justice to the full range of modern critical methods and insights. He will discuss the implications of these methods for how we understand the nature of the gospels and how we can read them today. The chapters will sketch the portrait of Jesus that emerges from each gospel, and then examine the “canonical” view of Jesus by comparing and contrasting these pictures, as well as the ones that emerge from the non-canonical gospels and from the modern quest for the historical Jesus.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Romans In Full Circle
$35.00The New Testament book of Romans has played an important role in the life of the church from the period of the early church and through to the present day. In this concise survey of the major theological changes associated with Paul’s letter, Mark Reasoner focuses on its history and interpretation, particularly through the works of Origen, Augustine, the medieval exegetes, Luther, and Barth. In so doing, he reveals that by a circuitous route, western Christians in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are returning to reading Romans in ways very similar to Origen’s concerns in the third century. This is true particularly in regard to issues of the human will, sensitivity to Jews and Judaism, openness to the possibility of universalism, and a deconstructive reading of the obedience to government passage in Romans 13. Thus, in addition to giving a helpful overview of Romans itself, this book will help readers situate their theological questions within the two thousand-year history of conversations about Paul’s letter to Roman believers.

Honored in 2006 as a “Year’s Best Book for Preachers” by Preaching magazine.One of humanity’s most basic and common practices-eating meals-was transformed by Jesus into an occasion of divine encounter. In sharing food and drink with his companions, he invited them to share in the grace of God. He revealed his redemptive mission while eating with sinners, repentant and unrepentant alike.
Jesus’ “table fellowship” with sinners in the Gospels has been widely agreed to be historically reliable. However, this consensus has recently been challenged, for example, by the claim that the meals in which Jesus participated took the form of Greco-Roman symposia-or that the “sinners” involved were the most flagrantly wicked within Israel’s society, not merely the ritually impure or those who did not satisfy strict Pharisaic standards of holiness.
In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Craig L. Blomberg engages with the debate and opens up the significance of the topic. He surveys meals in the Old Testament and the intertestamental period, examines all the Gospel texts relevant to Jesus’ eating with sinners, and concludes with contemporary applications.
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.

Hays’s analysis of intertextual echoes in Paul’s letters has touched off exciting debate among Pauline scholars and made more recognizable the contours of Paul’s thought. These studies contain some of the early work leading up to Hays’s seminal Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul and also show how Hays has responded to critics and further developed his thought in the years since. Among the many subjects covered here are Paul’s christological application of Psalms, Paul’s revisionary interpretation of the Law, and the influence of the Old Testament on Paul’s ethical teachings and ecclesiology.

Walking Wisely Workbook (Workbook)
$18.99From beloved Bible teacher Charles Stanley comes a practical ten-chapter workbook that addresses real life solutions and teaches us how to apply God’s wisdom to our problems as we handle finances, relate to others, care for our physical health, and carry out day-to-day duties.
In Scripture, wisdom is portrayed as a most important treasure, something to be sought after with consistent discipline. We, as Christians, tend to think of wisdom as something to be attained-an ideal to which we aspire. Charles Stanley contends that genuine wisdom is evidenced in how we live. The truly wise person is one whose values, perspectives, career goals, and daily decisions are all shaped by the wisdom found in Christ.

Studies In Matthew
$38.99Translated by Rosemary Selle
The work of one of the world’s foremost New Testament scholars, Ulrich Luz, this book gathers eighteen penetrating studies of Matthew’s Gospel, available here in English for the first time.
Luz’s groundbreaking work ranges widely over the critical issues of Matthean studies, including the narrative structure and sources of the Gospel and its presentation of such themes as christology, discipleship, miracles, and Israel. Several chapters also outline and demonstrate the hermeneutical methods underlying Luz’s acclaimed commentary on Matthew, for which this book can serve as a companion. Luz is particularly conscious of the Gospel’s reception history, a history of interpretation connecting us with the past that determines so many of our questions, categories, and values. Studies in Matthew thus constitutes a noteworthy contribution to biblical hermeneutics as well as to exegesis.

How To Read Genesis
$22.99Creation in six days
Woman from the side of man
“Sons of god” taking “daughters of men”
A massive disaster and an animal rescue boat of biblical proportions
Abraham, Sarah, Hagar and the ongoing saga of a dysfunctional family
These are just a few of the episodes that Genesis conjures up. But we miss the point if we focus on what seems strange to us. And we distort the message if we demand that this book answer questions that are strange to it. To read Genesis intelligently, we must consider the questions, the literature and the times in which Genesis was written.
In How to Read Genesis Tremper Longman III provides a welcome guide to reading and studying, understanding and savoring this panorama of beginnings–of both the world and of Israel. And importantly for Christian readers, we gain insight into how Genesis points to Christ and can be read in light of the gospel.

Enoch And Qumran Origins
$52.99The rediscovery of Enochic Judaism as an ancient movement of dissent within Second Temple Judaism, a movement centered on neither temple nor torah, is a major achievement of contemporary research. After being marginalized, ancient Enoch texts have reemerged as a significant component of the Dead Sea Scrolls library unearthed at Qumran.
Enoch and Qumran Origins is the first comprehensive treatment of the complex and forgotten relations between the Qumran community and the Jewish group behind the pseudepigraphal literature of Enoch. The contributors demonstrate that the roots of the Qumran community are to be found in the tradition of the Enoch group rather than that of the Jerusalem priesthood.
Framed by Gabriele Boccaccini’s introduction and James Charlesworth’s conclusion, this book examines the hypotheses of five particularly eminent scholars, resulting in an engaging and substantive discussion among forty-seven specialists from nine countries. The exceptional array of essays from leading international scholars in Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins makes Enoch and Qumran Origins a sine qua non for serious students of this period.

Is Jesus The Only Savior
$26.99In this timely book for believers, inquirers, and skeptics alike, James R. Edwards faces head-on the question of whether or not Jesus is indeed the sole savior of the world. After tracing the currents of modernity from the Enlightenment to the Jesus Seminar, Edwards contends that the assumptions of the most skeptical historical-Jesus scholars are no more intellectually defensible than the claims of faith. He then assembles extensive support to show that Jesus considered himself the unique and saving mission of God to the world.
Edwards devotes the second half of the book to discussing Jesus as savior in light of contemporary cultural currents, specifically addressing the thorny issues of religious pluralism, moral relativism, postmodernism, and the quest for world peace. Illustrated with real-life stories, “Is Jesus the Only Savior?” gives a fair hearing to twenty-first-century concerns while upholding historic Christian faith.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Faith Of The Outsider
$25.99This book offers a probing, insightful look at the “outsider” motif running through the Bible. The biblical story about God’s covenant with “insiders” – with Israel as the chosen people – is scandalous in today’s cultural climate of inclusivity. But, as Frank Anthony Spina shows, God’s exclusive election actually has an inclusive purpose.
Looking carefully at the biblical narrative, Spina highlights in bold relief seven remarkable stories that treat nonelect people positively and, even more, as strategically important participants in God’s plan of salvation. The stories of Esau, Tamar, Rahab, Naaman, Jonah, Ruth, and the woman at the well come alive in new ways as Spina discusses and examines them from an outsider-insider point of view.

Jesus In The Gospels
$52.00According to renowned biblical scholar Rudolf Schnackenburg, a truly historical portrait of Jesus is unattainable because the primary sources written about Jesus were not historical records as such. What is attainable, however, is a faith interpretation of Jesus’ life and works, gleaned from the writings of those closest to the life of Christ: the four Gospels. Thus, Schnackenburg provides a full faith interpretation of Jesus as each Gospel community portrayed him. A surprising number of commonalities about Jesus are revealed, and a fully recognizable portrait of Jesus emerges.

Sexuality And The Jesus Tradition
$35.99Discourse related to sex excites passion and debate, partly because sexuality is a central aspect of what it means to be human. Following up on his recent book on sexuality in the Septuagint, William Loader here explores what the Christian Gospels and related writings have to say about sexuality, how they reflect the faith and social values of their day, and what impact they’ve had on our own.
Sexuality and the Jesus Tradition is thorough in its investigation and compelling in its analyses. Loader examines all of the passages that convey views about sexuality in the Gospels and other first-century literature, including the Gospel of Thomas, and the influence in Paul of the Jesus tradition. Among the interesting topics covered are attitudes concerning lust, perspectives on marriage and divorce, and views about celibacy. Loader shows how, despite the passing of two thousand years and massive social change, these ancient texts contain common issues that we still grapple with today.

Remembering Abraham : Culture Memory And History In The Hebrew Bible
$97.00Description
According to an old tradition preserved in the Palestinian Targums, the Hebrew Bible is “the Book of Memories.” The sacred past recalled in the Bible serves as a model and wellspring for the present. The remembered past, says Ronald Hendel, is the material with which biblical Israel constructed its identity as a people, a religion, and a culture. It is a mixture of history, collective memory, folklore, and literary brilliance, and is often colored by political and religious interests. In Israel’s formative years, these memories circulated orally in the context of family and tribe. Over time they came to be crystallized in various written texts. The Hebrew Bible is a vast compendium of writings, spanning a thousand-year period from roughly the twelfth to the second century BCE, and representing perhaps a small slice of the writings of that period. The texts are often overwritten by later texts, creating a complex pastiche of text, reinterpretation, and commentary. The religion and culture of ancient Israel are expressed by these texts, and in no small part also created by them, as they formulate new or altered conceptions of the sacred past. Remembering Abraham explores the interplay of culture, history, and memory in the Hebrew Bible. Hendel examines the Hebrew Bible’s portrayal of Israel and its history, and correlates the biblical past with our own sense of the past. He addresses the ways that culture, memory, and history interweave in the self-fashioning of Israel’s identity, and in the biblical portrayals of the patriarchs, the Exodus, and King Solomon. A concluding chapter explores the broad horizons of the biblical sense of the past. This accessibly written book represents the mature thought of one of our leading scholars of the Hebrew Bible.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Breaking Eves Curse
$15.49In Breaking Eve’s Curse, Dr. Frank Hultgren presents a biblical perspective of healing, particularly in the area of women’s illnesses. The book addresses healing for the mental, physical, and emotional illnesses that women encounter. Dr. Hultgren identifies techniques for overcoming problems in women’s cycles and childbirth. Using the Genesis account of the creation, the fall, and the curse, he provides a unique perspective on the role of women in following biblical teaching to break free from a perceived curse on them for generations. The book traces the traditional teaching of the curse through the Old and New Testaments, and it presents a fresh understanding of the abilities of men and women to break the strongholds off of their lives through a belief in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Ruth And Naomi Find Joy After Tragedy
$14.99The book of Ruth is a favorite of many Bible readers. It tells the story of an Israelite family that relocated from Bethlehem, Judah, to the country of Moab because of a famine. Unfortunately for Naomi, her husband and two sons all died within a period of ten years. The widows of the two sons were left with Naomi.Naomi blamed God for the tragedies that overwhelmed her. She decided to return to her home in Bethlehem, and her two daughters-in-law agreed to go with her. After traveling awhile, Naomi changed her mind and asked the daughters-in-law to return to their homes in Moab. After many tears, Orpah took Naomi’s advice. But Ruth decided she would not leave, so they continued the journey together to Bethlehem. I have written some unrecorded details that I hope will spark the imagination. I also hope that you will discover how a God of compassion rewards those who put their trust in him.

Ending Of Mark And The Ends Of God

He saw the open-endedness of Mark as powerfully unsettling for the reader who desires to tame and predict God’s actions. In this series of essays, edited by Beverly Roberts Gaventa and Patrick Miller, theologians begin with Juel’s own work and reflect on the “unsettling” in the context of their own work.

Can I Get A Witness
$32.00Blount contends that Revelation is essentially a story of suffering and struggle amidst oppressive assimilation. He examines the image of the lamb as a model for witness and shows how Revelation’s hymns can be glimpsed as coded calls to champion God’s cause and the cause of transformative liberation.
In this accessible and provocative study, Brian Blount reads the book of Revelation through the lens of African American culture, drawing correspondences between Revelation’s context and the long-standing suffering of African Americans. Applying the African American social, political, and religious experience as an interpretive cipher for the book’s complicated imagery, he contends that Revelation is essentially a story of suffering and struggle amid oppressive assimilation. He examines the language of “martyr” and the image of the lamb, and shows that the thread of resistance to oppressive power that runs through John’s hymns resonates with a parallel theme in the music of African America.

Nimrod : Darkness In The Cradle Of Civilization
$21.99The Bible barely mentions his name, but people of antiquity knew him well. Ancient historians recorded substantial information about him. Who was Nimrod? How could such a man be of such importance to today’s believer? God’s history is replete with accounts of His followers suffering terrible persecution. People of today’s world are largely unaware of a lesser-known story, written by the blood of many believers at a time following God’s destruction of the Old World. Nimrod was born into a New World, recently recreated by God. This virgin creation was untainted by the wickedness of the Old World. However, innocence did not last long. Eight people had traveled God’s floodwaters of judgment in the security of His ark, but the curse of sin still tainted their souls. The prince of darkness wasted no time sowing seeds of rebellion in fertile hearts. He handpicked Nimrod to transform the New World into a cauldron of rebellion. The post-flood world began in present-day Iraq. Several cities conquered by Nimrod are still in existence today. The events happening in present-day Iraq are not coincidental. The world will witness more conflict and fulfilled Bible prophecy in this land-until God’s Seed returns to fulfill the ancient prophecy recorded in Genesis 3:15.

“They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha. . . . And they crucified him. . . . Some women were watching from a distance.” (Mark 15:22, 24, 40).At the climax of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus of Nazareth is put to death on a Roman cross. The text tells us that, in that lonely hour, a group of women were watching the crucifixion “from a distance.” In a sense, they are given a stance toward the cross that we can share.
In this exploration of Mark’s Gospel, Peter G. Bolt looks at why the cross is so prominent in the narrative, asks what contribution Mark’s teaching can make to our understanding of the atonement, and shows how this teaching can inform, correct and enrich our own preaching of the gospel in the contemporary world. This New Studies in Biblical Theogy volume helps us to stand in wonder before the God who has come close to us in the cross of Jesus Christ and to live in hope for the better things to come.
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.

Bride And The Broken Wineskin
$16.49“Must read material for serious Christians! As the end time storm clouds gather, it is time for an open and honest appraisal of the Church. The Bride and the Broken Wineskin steps outside the religious forms that currently limit the Church and makes a powerful call for a return to biblical team structure, capable of growing each believer up to his, or her, FULL ministry and potential service. The Author draws on many years of experience pastoring, ministering and prayerful bible study to provide the simple, yet powerful answers capable of re-energizing the Church to fruitful growth as we seek to bring In the end time harvest of souls.” -Gary Robinson – A Geophysicist, and an Elder and minister to the body of Christ God views what we call “church” and sees two expressions: The Bride of the Lord Jesus 1. Passionate for her Groom. 2. Submitted to Jesus as her only head. 3. Flexible and desirous for the Lord’s will. The Old and Broken Wineskin 1. Functional yet lacking true passion for the Lord. 2. Dominated by man. 3. Rigid and motivated by self-interest. The Question we must ask is, “our church” an expression of the bride or the old wineskin? We must endeavor to remove obstacles that keep us from being the expression of Christ’s glorious bride on the earth, encourage pure worship, and surrender to Jesus the only Head of the church Brother Steve has some very valuable insight into the plight of our immature and broken condition as the Church. We must as individual believers; get our life from Christ, via the presence of His Holy Spirit. Steve rightly points out that eternal fruit is thus produced, and that our present focus on the organization tends to hinder the healthy growth of the organism, that glorious body of Christ, the Bride. May the Redeemer indeed reclaim and build His Church, as HE desires. -Marc Felder – A Minister of the Gospel that has established churches In the U.S. and Ireland

Promise Of His Appearing
$15.00The book of Second Peter has long troubled biblical scholars and interpreters who have disputed its authorship and its claims about the imminent return of Christ. Leithart offers a preterist reading of the epistle, arguing that it describes first-century events rather than the end of history. He maintains orthodoxy, avoiding hyper-preterism, affirming both the real future return of Christ and the epistle’s authenticity.

Ripped Out Of The Bible
$9.88See what is missing in the new translations of the Bible!
Did you know that the Greek New Testament text historically used down through the centuries by the believing Church has been cast aside and replaced by a radically different Greek text?
Nearly everyone has the impression that the difference in the wording between modern translations and the 1611 King James Bible is mainly due to synonym choices and language changes. Such is not the situation. The outrageous reason is that almost all translations since 1881 have been made from a drastically different Greek text than was used to prepare the older versions. The traditional Greek has been replaced!
Dr. Jones digs deep into the truth of God’s Word and separates the sheep from the goats. It allows us to see the outright deception that is happening all in the name of money. Don’t miss this opportunity to greater understanding of what Gods Word is and is not.

Suffering Servant : Isaiah 53 In Jewish And Christian Sources
$48.99The Servant Song of Isaiah 53 has been highly significant in both Jewish and Christian thought. Rarely, however, has it been explored from the broad range of perspectives represented in this long-awaited volume.
In The Suffering Servant ten talented biblical interpreters trace the influence of the Servant Song text through the centuries, unpacking the theological meanings of this rich passage of scripture and its uses in various religious contexts. Chapters examine in depth Isaiah 52:13-53:12 in the Hebrew original and in later writings, including pre-Christian Jewish literature, the New Testament, the Isaiah Targum, the early church fathers, and a sixteenth-century rabbinic document informed by Jewish-Christian dialogue.

As an aid to students, each essay has been supplemented with additional notes and bibliography to show where the discussion has continued since Dibelius. This will provide an excellent supplementary textbook for courses on the New Testament or the Bible.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
