Christology In The New Testament (Student/Study Guide)
$32.99
The different pictures of Christ presented in the New Testament can be understood in light of the different problems and situations the New Testament authors were addressing. The interpretation of Christ that most closely addressed the pressing needs and daily reality of the churches the writer was addressing naturally came to the forefront of the way Christ was described. In addition, different kinds of literature use Christology somewhat differently. Some Christological claims are made as part of a narrative. Some are doxological, included in early Christian hymns. Some are more discursive – as part of a response to concrete practical problems. David Bartlett presents Christological claims as part of ongoing conversations in the early church about who Jesus was and how he was understood as still present in believing communities.

Render Unto Caesar
$28.99Add to cartThe revered Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus explores the Christian culture wars–the debates over church and state–from a biblical perspective, exploring the earliest tensions evident in the New Testament, and offering a way forward for Christians today.
Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today.
For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.
In the texts of Luke-Acts, Rome is considered favorably. In the book of Revelations, Rome is seen as the embodiment of evil in the world. Yet there is an alternative to these two extremes, Crossan explains. The historical Jesus and Paul, the earliest Christian teachers, were both strongly opposed to Rome, yet neither demonized the Empire.
Crossan sees in Jesus and Paul’s approach a model for Christians today that can be used to cut through the acrimony and polarization roiling our society and dividing us.
