  Prophets And The Apostolic Witness

  $40.00

  How should Christians read prophetic literature?

  Questions abound both in the academy and the church as to how to engage the prophets, particularly in light of the New Testament. The Gospel writers and the church fathers all read and appealed to the Old Testament, but are we as modern-day readers supposed to take the same approach? The Prophets and the Apostolic Witness is a dialogue among scholars that identifies the interpretive methods used throughout history while also charting a constructive way forward for our own approach to reading the Major Prophets.

  This comprehensive volume brings together experts on Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel to illuminate the following topics:

  *How the Apostles Read the Major Prophets as Christian Scripture
  *Limits on Reading the Major Prophets as Christian Scripture
  *Reading the Major Prophets in the Footsteps of the Apostles
  *The History of Interpretation of the Major Prophets as Christian Scripture
  *Preaching the Major Prophets as Christian Scripture

  This collaborative endeavor offers fresh and helpful insights to scholars, students, and pastors alike as they engage with the text of the Major Prophets.

  Savoring Scripture : A Six-Step Guide To Studying The Bible

  $22.00

  Some books on how to read the Bible are academically informative, but their rationality can make God seem distant.

  Other books are spiritually vibrant but provide few tools that truly help God’s people read the Bible better. Readers need a guide that combines the academic with the spiritual–that integrates textual analysis with the illuminating and transformational work of the Holy Spirit.

  Drawing from his experience training students to study the Bible, Andrew Abernethy provides a holistic method that helps readers listen carefully to what God was saying to the original audience and what God is saying to us today. Using clear examples, he lays out six steps:

  *Posture
  *Flow
  *Context
  *Whole Bible
  *Savor God
  *Faithful response

  Chapters provide guidance on interpreting biblical genres, factoring in historical backgrounds, reading each passage in context, tracing the redemptive storyline of Scripture, and more. Then, building on a strong grasp of Scripture’s meaning, readers engage the traditional practice of lectio divina and consider how to respond faithfully to the text. The goal, Abernethy says, is to encounter God and to be shaped by the Word as we savor its richness.

  Filled with practical features such as illustrations, maps, timelines, and discussion questions, Savoring Scripture is a valuable guide for students and anyone who wants to study the Bible more effectively. God has given us a Bible that is for the hungry–for those willing both to depend on God for provision and to put in the mental effort to enjoy the feast.

  Additional Info
  Anyone who has attempted to teach or preach through the prophecy of Isaiah has felt a tension. On the one hand there is the soaring imagination and evocative phrasing of passage after passage in this magnificent book. But on the other hand there is the challenge of fitting the book together and grasping with confidence the referents Isaiah has in mind. In a well-written and remarkably comprehensive treatment, Andrew Abernethy takes us through the book of Isaiah by unfolding the way God and his kingdom are presented in each of the three major sections of the prophecy. By outlining the way this reigning God uses agents to accomplish his purpose, this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume identifies the links to the broader biblical canon and ultimately to Jesus. 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.
