Additional Info
This world is a battlefield in the arena of ideas. The prize is the heart and mind of humankind. In this book, Ronald Nash outlines the Christian way of looking at God, self, and the world. He holds that worldview up against the tests of reason, logic, and experience, particularly discussing the problems of evil and the alleged “nonsense” of the historic Christian doctrines and of Jesus’ incarnation and resurrection. He finds the Christian worldview sound and urges Christians to equip themselves intellectually to defend the faith on that battlefield. He particularly hits the attractions to our generation of naturalism and the New Age movement, pointing out their weaknesses and pitfalls as well as those of older worldviews. “Christian theism,” he writes, “is a system that commends itself to the whole person”; but he stresses that a great difference exists between “belief that” and “belief in.” -

Again and again we turn back to the figures which move before us in its pages, and find new relevancies, new significances, new applicaitons to our own times and to our own lives. Somehow, these Scripture characters seem to be invested with typologically and representative qualities which live for all time.”

Here is a convenient introduction to the unique aspects of interpreting the one-third of the Hebrew Bible that is in poetic form. Numerous are the occasions when a failure to distinguish poetry from prose in the Old Testament has resulted in flawed interpretation. Robert Lowth’s Lectures on the Sacred Poetry of the Hebrews (1753, 1787), marked a turning point of major proportions by focusing on the importance of parallelism of lines. But new studies of the past decade now require significant adjustments to Lowth’s analyses. Interpreting Hebrew Poetry offers an authoritative introduction to this discussion of parallelism, meter and rhythm, and poetic style. It also provides by way of example a poetic analysis of Deuteronomy 32, Isaiah 5:1-7, and Psalm 1. -

James S. Thomas sketches the history of American Methodism from its earliest beginnings through the years of tumult around the issue of slavery and on into the twentieth century. But hte bulk of the book is that story that could best be told only by an insider, in this case, by the one who served as chairperson of the Central Jurisdication Study and Research Committee, popularly known as the Committee of Five, which forumalted the plan for themerger of the Central Jurisdiction’s annual conferences into the regional jurisdictions.
Officially, the story of the Central Jurisdiction begain in 1939. But the attitudes and social practices that prompted its creation go much further back into history.

Its demise, says Bishop Thomas, enables The United Methodist Church more faithfully to seek the goal of one Shepherd, one fold. -

Following The Master
$24.99Add to cartWhat is it that makes a person a true disciple of Jesus Christ? Following the Master clarifies the objective of Jesus in making disciples by focusing on the historical context of Jesus’ ministry and then finds the perspectives of the different biblical authors. The pragmatic type of book on discipleship that has abounded over the past fifteen years has tended to cause much confusion in the church. Although most authors have sought to be objective in their treatment, the imagined needs of the church often take precedence over objectivity. The author’s experience as a pastor, professor, and scholar has prepared him to provide the objective treatment that is needed. He avoids the theological and pragmatic agendas that have characterized most books on discipleship and instead relies on biblical and historical data to reveal the intentions of Jesus.
