Forgotten God : Perspectives In Biblical Theology
$50.00This volume provides a comprehensive survey of the unity and diversity behind biblical conceptions of “God”. This is accomplished by respecting the distinctive theology of each canonical book and by placing reflection about God in conversation with major themes of biblical theology (e.g., Christology, pneumatology, anthropology). Four essays examine the Old Testament images of God while ten essays address the way in which God is presented in the New Testament. The volume is rounded off with an essay exploring biblical preaching about God.

Bible On Leadership
$18.95Millions have been inspired by the Bible’s spiritual lessons. Now, Lorin Woolfe provides a unique way to view the Bible . . . for leadership lessons that can be applied to our modern business world. Consider David’s courage and innovation in slaying Goliath with just a stone and a sling; Moses’ outstanding “”succession planning”” in picking Joshua; Joseph and the political skills that brought him to the seat of power; and of course, Jesus’ compassion, communication skills, and vision that launched Christianity (a long-term success by any measure). These are leaders among leaders. Their achievements — and their inspired methods of achievement — offer a wholly different perspective on business leadership. For the dozens of Biblical stories presented, the book provides: * A concise retelling of each story * One (or more) leadership lessons suggested by each story * Examples of contemporary business leaders who exhibit some of the inspired traits of these ancient leaders, including: Fred Smith of FedEx, Howard Shultz of Starbucks, Tom Chappell of Tom’s of Maine (a “toothpaste with a mission”), Roy Vagelos of Merck, and many more. The chapters cover these universal topics: Courage * Purpose * Communication * Honesty and Integrity * Power and Influence * Performance Management * Team Building * Humility * Compassion * Justice * Encouragement and Consequences * Wisdom * Creating the Future Each topic concludes with a list of key points to keep in mind as readers continue on their own leadership journeys.

What Is New Testament Theology
$28.33Does New Testament theology rightly deal with the documents of the New Testament or with something outside the text, such as the unfolding of early Christian religion, the events of salvation history, the historical Jesus in particular, or an understanding of human existence? Is New Testament theology a strictly historical project, a dialectical interaction between historical interpretation and hermeneutical concerns or solely hermeneutical program? This volume by a seasoned biblical scholar not only describes how New Testament theology has been done but provides critiques of the major approaches in the twentieth century as well as his own proposal.

Out Of The Depths
$48.33Whether understood as sin, as embracing all manner of suffering and injustice, or as the inexplicable human choice of evil over good, evil has historically been described and pondered chiefly through male categories understood as a universal viewpoint. Likewise salvation. Gebara here presents an alternative, feminist approach to evil and salvation. She allows women to voice their personal suffering from their own contexts, thereby manifesting their many differences. She then introduces a perspective on evil and salvation based in gender analysis to address specifically “the evil women do,” the evil they suffer, and women’s redemptive experiences of God and salvation.

Discovering Christ In Genesis
$24.69This volume is not intended to be a full exposition of the Book of Genesis. The purpose is to set forth, as simply and clearly, the grace and glory of God in Christ in the opening pages of Holy Scripture. So states Don Fortner in the Preface to this volume – and this is precisely what he does. By commenting on the principal characters to whom God revealed himself in the book of Genesis and the major events of their lives, the author brings to light the presence of Christ and the evidence of God’s great plan of redemption in these opening chapters of the Bible. But he does not leave it there: concerned to impart to the reader a greater appreciation of Christ, the Saviour of sinners, the author intersperses teaching and application, with the intention of encouraging believers to live lives of worship and committed service to Christ.

What On Earth Is The Kingdom Of God
$16.86What On Earth Is the Kingdom of God? is an exciting and insightful overview and presentation of the biblical theme of the Kingdom of God. Dr. Young takes the reader through a step-by-step account of the unfolding of the Kingdom of God in history. The study begins in the Garden of Eden where the Kingdom is seen in type like a small “seed” that generates into the “stem” as the nation of Israel. It is against this prophetic expectation and the teaching of Jesus that the Kingdom comes to “flower” in the person of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of God is the unifying theme that shows continuity in the plan and progress of the revelation of God to man. Jesus Christ is revealed in the New Testament as the King of God’s Kingdom. Christ introduces the reign and rule of God to those who willfully submit to it! The following questions are considered: What was the Garden of Eden originally meant to be? How was Israel to show the world the kingship of God? Did Jesus come preaching that He was inaugurating the long-awaited Kingdom? What happened to the Jewish nation when they rejected the Kingdom of God? Do we look for David’s throne to be occupied at some future date? Are the gifts of the Spirit and the gifts of the ascended Christ present today? What is meant by the terms the “all ready” and the “not yet”? Are the Church and the Kingdom one in the same?

Time Of Travail
$16.86A Time of Travail, a simple study into the book of Revelation and the Hebrew prophets, brings to light the sequence of events that must occur prior to, as well as those that will occur during the Tribulation. By taking both the Old and New Testament scriptural passages and bringing them together, it demonstrates to the reader that prophetic scripture cannot be separated into two books, but rather it is a single book that was given to the Jew first and then reiterated for the benefit of the rest of mankind as a warning of things to come. This book will not always give earthly rational answers to an event because we truly serve a God who is beyond earth’s confinement and it’s associated physical laws. A Time of Travail is intended for those: Who desire to understand the sequence of events that must precede the tribulation and why, as well as those events that will occur during the tribulation. Wishing to understand the correlation between Old and New Testament prophetic scriptures in a simple way. Who would like to meet the players during this period of time with all the symbolism peeled away. Offering some non-earthy answers and corresponding rationale to some of the events that will be administered by a God not bound by our physical laws.

Winds Of Hope For A World Out Of Breath
$16.18How can the past speak to the present? How can the ancient make itself known in the contemporary? Many feel that it cannot — that nothing can be learned from the past – that everything to be learned is in the present and in the future. Perhaps this is where we have missed the true meaning of life. (from chapter 4)
Robert G. Tuttle brings the 23rd Psalm to life for the 20th Century Christian. His approach aids study groups, clergy seeking preaching background material, and persons wanting personal devotional reading.
The book is filled with countless illustrations in its eight chapters.

2. Interpreting The Prophets
3. The Powerless
4. The Arrogance Of Power
5. Amos And The Affluent Society
6. Advocates For The Powerless
7. Who Are The Prophets For Our Time?Additional Info
Sensational books on “biblical prophecy” that warn of the end of the world continue to make the bestseller lists. James Limburg demonstrates that the actual prophets — Nathan, Elijah, Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah — were less concerned with such questions than with the urgent call for justice in society: The prophets keep surprising us. Time and again they take us by the hand and lead us to the home of a widow or point us to a lonely orphan. They may show us the eyes of a poor man or introduce us to a stranger. These, you see, are the powerless.Original and interesting. Limburg writes in a way that should catch the attention of the undergraduate student and the person in the pew, and he brings home a central feature in the prophetic message in a way that is telling and related to questions most people are raising.
Ideal for study groups and individual use, this little book enables the general reader to approach the Old Testament prophets with understanding.

People Called : The Growth Of Community In The Bible
$65.00This study focuses on a very basic theme, the tender art of living together in community. T.S. Elliot posed the question succinctly: “What life have you if you have not life together?” He thereby pointed to a truth verified both by social scientists and by our own practical experience: we receive life, we foster life, and we pass life on within the context of fellow humans. But how varied is the quality of life experienced by different humans, or even by the individual at different stages of life! Any thoughtful sensitive person is deeply aware of the fragile treasure that life is, with remarkable potential for warmth, friendship, joy, creativity, and generosity, yet so frequently threatened or destroyed by anxiety, bitterness, greed, anger, and hostility. The Bible presents a rich pageant of life in community. Its stories, hymns, and proverbs cover the whole range of human feelings and experiences, It gives the story of a people who puzzled through the riddle of life from the midst of life, and came to a conclusion strikingly similar ro Eliot’s: “There is no life that is not community. And no community not lived in praise of God.”

Reading Galatians Phillippians And 1 Thessalonians (Revised)
$40.29Cousar interprets three letters of Paul, each of which shows him in a different light. In Galatians, the apostle contends for the gospel against a group of Jewish Christian missionaries who have come into the congregation. In Philippians, Paul addresses his favorite community in intimate terms to offer thanks for a gift they have sent him and to urge them to maintain unity in the face of opposing forces. 1 Thessalonians, Paul’s first letter, is written to encourage the congregation in that city to lead lives worthy of the gospel.
The commentary traces the movement of the letters, paragraph by paragraph, and pays particular attention to the literary character of the writing, and to the theological implications of the text for the church today.

Jesus And The Village Scribes
$45.00This volume challenges Gerd Theissen’s dominant thesis of “wandering radicals” as the earliest spreaders of the Jesus tradition. Several conclusions emerge: (1) the textual evidence for the “wandering radicals” hypothesis is not tenable and it must be replaced with one that more closely comports with the evidence: (2) the immediate context of the Jesus movement, and of Q in particular, is the socio-economic crisis in Galilee under the Romans; and (3) the formation of Q is the product of Galilean village scribes in the Jesus movement reacting to the negative developments in Galilee that affected their social standing. Arnal moves decisively beyond earlier Q studies, which focused almost exclusively on literary history without dealing with the social realities of the first century.

Who Is Jesus
$36.66Jesus’ life and legacy provocatively told
In Who Is Jesus? Keck clarifies the difference between the way Jesus is presented in the Gospels and the way critical historians portray him. He then explores, from four perspectives, Jesus’ contemporary moral and theological pertinence. Keck looks initially at Jesus as a first-century Jew, then considers how Jesus’ mission was energized by his grasp of the kingdom of God. He goes on to probe the meaning of the crucifixion of Jesus in light of the biblical understanding of God’s holiness, a theme largely neglected today. Keck concludes his discussion by looking at Jesus’ role in the moral life of the Christian community.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Quest Of The Historical Jesus (Revised)
$65.00In this revised translation and retrieval of the full text of the revised German edition, Schweitzer describes and critiques 18th and 19th century attempts at retrieving the “Jesus of history” and stands at the crossroads of the 19th and 20th centuries to bring closure to the former, and to open the latter for New Testament scholarship. Schweitzer saw the problems of historiography, theology, and politics in the ways the issues were formulated and the answers proposed and refocused attention on Jesus’ “eschatology” in a way abandoned by his predecessors. Issues of the messianic secrets, the nature of the kingdom of God, and Jesus’ mission are addressed. Because of the new invigorated study of Jesus in his first-century context, informed readers will desire Schweitzer as the reference point for the mistakes of the past and the possibilities of new direction.

Message Of Job
$21.18The book of Job proves that bad things do happen to good people, and the timeless question it raises is, Why? How can we hold to the justice and goodness of God in the face of undeserved tragedy? What is more, this great Old Testament book shows how condescending and superficial the attempts to comfort someone who is suffering can be.
Drawing on his background as pastor, hospital chaplain, and seminary professor, Daniel Simundson combines theological and pastoral concerns throughout his thematic survey of the trend of thought in the book of Job. The result is a useful resource for caregivers, general readers, study groups, and biblical classes.

Life And Teaching Of Jesus Christ

And they did not fail him. The four little books that we call Gospels are our primary and practically our only sources of information about the life and the words that have changed the world. We may wish the story had been told with greater fullness and detail; but we know that, short as it is, it is enough. It has given Christ to every race and age.” (excerpt from Chapter 1: The Making of the Gospels)

From this he argues that the predictive element within Isaiah is in the task to be undertaken and not the person who will do it.

The possibility of finding reliable information about the life of the historical Jesus has fascinated the imagination of generations of scholars from as early as the seventeenth century.

Until now, no one has brought together a comparison of the points of view of the most influential writers about the historical Jesus.The Historical Jesus Quest brings together substantial extracts from the seminal works in Jesus studies over the last two centuries. The extracts are accompanied by brief introductions to each writer, helpful summaries of the central arguments of the works from which the extracts are taken, and incisive assessments of their continuing relevance to current debates.

Strauss, Wrede, Schweitzer, Kahler, Bultmann, Kasemann, and others_to speak in their own words. It is essential reading for all serious students of the Gospels and of the historical Jesus.

In this excellent outline of Christian ethics, Robin W. Lovin achieves a balance between the questions and issues which form the core of the study of ethics, and the life situations from which those questions arise.Eschewing a sectarian approach which dismisses other understandings of the moral life, Lovin nonetheless lays claim to a specifically Christian understanding of ethics. He begins with basic Christian convictions about the reality of God and human redemption and weaves these convictions into the fabric of moral concerns that are widely shared in contemporary society. He takes note of the problems that arise when Christians try to act on or enforce their convictions in a pluralistic society and recognizes the variety of theological and moral beliefs that are held within the Christian community, as well as in the wider society.

Paul : The Man And The Myth
$48.33We are left to reconstruct a portrait of Paul with only scraps of what was once a large and imposing canvas-a small collection of letters and a historical narrative written a generation after his death. This reconstruction focuses on important parts of the image that usually fall in the shadows, parts dealing with Paul’s sexual asceticism, his preoccupation with holiness-holy Spirit, holy community, and holy ethos-the evolution of his theology, and his emergence as a legendary figure. Although I have tried to follow the strict rules of historical investigation, of necessity much guesswork is involved in any exploration of Paul’s life. All of these efforts are attempts to deal with the gaps in the text, understood in the broadest sense to include not just Paul’s written words but also the culture, social world, and political realities surrounding them.
