Theology Of The Acts Of The Apostles
$35.99Add to cartWho are the people of God? Luke’s purposes in Acts are to identify the Church, to establish the legitimacy of its gospel and to demonstrate that God was an active force in history. He shows that the communities of Jewish and Gentile Christians are the true heirs of God’s promises to Israel. This is a theological interpretation of the history of the Church within history: Luke is an artist, a narrator rather than a systematic theologian, but he writes about the roles of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit and of the Church.

God Of Israel And Christian Theology
$29.00Add to cartWith acknowledgement that Christian theology contributed to the persecution and genocide of Jews comes a delemma: how to excise the cancer withour killing the patient? Kendall Soulen shows how important Christian assertions-the uniqueness of Jesus, the Christian covenant, the finality of salvation in Chirst-have been formulated in destructive, supersessionist ways not only in the classical period (Justin Martyr, Irenaeus) and early moderniity (Kant and Schleiermacher) but even comtemporary theology (Barth and Rahner). Along with this first full-scale critque of Christian supersessionism, Soulen’s own constructive proposal regrasps the narrative unity of Christian identity and the canon through an original and important insight into the divine-human covenant, the election of Israel, and the meaning of history.

Mark
$36.00Add to cartMark, though often eclipsed by the other synoptic gospels, is considered by many scholars to be the earliest written gospel and thus closest to the historical Jesus. In his book, Douglas Hare examines Mark for modern Christians in search of the Jesus as portrayed in these earliest known writings. What emerges is a Jesus whose moral and religious teachings are of secondary importance to that of his life, death, and resurrection. Jesus as depicted in Mark serves as the window through which we may see God. God’s love for humankind, Hare contends, is made visible through Mark’s Jesus.

TOUGH LOVETough Love is hope. It is help. It is a way of recovery for drug abusers, and a positive, supportive program for their families.
Tough Love is a gift of love and a gift of life for those who practice its plan. It is a book for all parents, especially those whose children are now on drugs or are exposed to those who use drugs.
Pauline Neff has gathered enthralling, real-life accounts of young drug users who needed help and of their parents’ role in seeing that they received it. Eight families describe, in very graphic, heartrending terms, how their children successfully beat the drug habit through the Palmer Drug Abuse Program.
PDAP is a privately financed twelve-step program, similar to the steps of AA. Ms. Neff explains each step to show how families can interpret and work through these steps in their own lives. Thousands of young people have found help through this method. Families have been reunited, and parents’ own lives have been changed drastically in the process.
If you are a parent of a young person in America today, tough love may be the most important book you will ever read. It may save your life.

Biblical Interpretation : A Road Map
$30.99Add to cartBiblical Interpretation: A Roadmap is a guide to discovering and asking the key questions – about biblical texts, about readers of the Bible, and about the interaction of the two – that forms the basis of biblical interpretation today. These questions are organized around three fundamental assumptions that govern the authors’ approach to reading the Bible: the biblical texts arise from particular historical, social, and cultural settings: the reader likewise reads from a specific setting; and neither the diversity of the texts nor the multitude of readers stands in isolation one from the other. Tiffany and Ringe here offer an approach to biblical interpretation that takes both the texts and the reading context seriously, guiding and encouraging readers to draw upon the expertise and authority of their own life experiences and contexts. They also recognize that wide-ranging experiences and contexts are necessarily involved in biblical interpretation, showing how critical engagement with those contexts, in all their historical, social, and cultural diversity, is itself an unavoidable and invaluable part of the interpretative process.

Im So Glad You Told Me What I Didnt Wanna Hear

Additional Info
For parents who have been knocked to the floor by bad news and plastered to the ceiling by unwelcome surprises…here’s a book to prop you up, scrape you down, and (believe it or not) help you laugh again.Bad news is bad enough. But bad news about your children carries a triple whammy of pain, worry, and “where did we go wrong!” An accident, an illness, an unwholesome lifestyle, a devastating decision-the truth about these awful events can turn your life upside down, isolate you from family and friends, drain you of hope, and overpower you with stress.
If that’s your experience right now, this book can be a lifesaver. Crammed with practical guidance and sanity-saving laughter, it’s a gift of hope to you from “the queen of encouragement,” Barbara Johnson and other men and women who are “out there on the dance floor of life, doing the lost-parent shuffle.” Drawing on her personal experience, her years of ministering to parents in pain, and the letters she has received from hundreds of hurting (and healing) parents, Barbara Johnson shares:
– what you can expect in the days ahead-and how to cope
– what to do with your shock, pain, and guilt
– how to find grace for your ongoing stress
– how to love your kids without trying to “fix ’em”
– how to find comfort and encouragement in scripture, friendship, and the knowledge that you’re not alone
– how to locate a support group-or start one of your own
– how to pull together with your spouse-instead of letting your pain pull you apartShe salts each chapter with wry observations, uplifting letters, sunny day-lifters, cartoons, and just-plain-funny one-liners-to lift your spirits and bring you comfort. Whether you’re stuck on the ceiling, groping through the tunnel, smoldering in the fire, or down for the count, this book can keep you moving and even keep you laughing through your tears as you travel the rocky path from “Why me, Lord?” to “Thank you, Lord.”

21 Century Pastor
$24.99Add to cartThe third millennium. It’s a time of tremendous opportunity for the church–and tremendous challenge. More than ever, pastors need a model for ministry that can equip them for the rigors of a restless, increasingly secularized culture. In the 21st Century Pastor, David Fisher explores the apostle Paul’s concept of ministry to offer a paradigm that is both biblical and relevant. Paul’s view is fleshed out with examples from Fisher’s own twenty-five years of pastoral experience, presenting a roadmap for today’s pastor that is scholarly, practical, dynamic, and inspiring. The 21st Century Pastor first addressees crucial issues of pastoral identity, the significance of geography, time, and ecclesiology. It then explores Paul’s metaphors for ministry (jars of clay, farmers and builders, servants and stewards, and others) to reveal an accurate portrait of an effective, biblical pastor–the kind who will speak to the heart of modern culture rather than languish on its fringes. Filling the rare role of a pastor to pastors, Fisher’s sage insights help pastors answer their own identity questions, empowering them to minister to a deeply needy society. Says Fisher, “Pastors who know what time it is will, in the name and power of God, create communities of faith where the values of the Gospel are embraced, taught, and lived out.”
