Abrahams Divided Children
$37.95Add to cartThis addition to the popular New Testament in Context series focuses on the politics of division in Paul’s letter to the Galations. Galatians has been traditionally read as the “Magna Carta” of Christian liberty, teaching that Gentiles need not become Jews before becoming Christians. Pheme Perkins demonstrates that the matter is not so simple. She uses recent evidence to show that the communal boundaries of Judaism were more porous than has been assumed. Rather than portraying a simple conflict between Jews and Gentile converts, Galatians depicts a Jewish community whose identity is in flux and Gentile converts who were not entirely certain about their lineage in the Christian faith. Perkins argues that while Paul might have tried to use his rhetoric to encourage unity among Gentile converts, he actually created harsh divisions between the Christian and Jewish communities. Perkins’ lively and engaging reading of Galatians challenges much debated Pauline text.

Matthew And Empire
$51.95Add to cartIn Matthew and Empire, Warren Carter argues that Matthew’s Gospel protests Roman imperialism by asserting that God’s purpose and will are performed not only by the empire and emperor but by Jesus and his community of disciples. Carter makes the claim for reading Matthew this way against the almost exclusive emphasis on the relationship with the synagogue that has long characterized Matthean scholarship. He establishes Matthew’s imperial context by examining Roman imperial ideology and material presence in Anitoch, the traditional provenance for Matthew. Carter argues that Matthean Christology, which presents Jesus as God’s agent, is shaped by claims-and protests against those claims-that the emperor and the empire are God’s agents.

From Exegesis To Exposition
$34.00Add to cartMany seminarians suspect that their courses in Hebrew have little relevance to their current and future ministry. Author Robert Chisholm believes otherwise, and in From Exegesis to Exposition, he shows seminarians and seminary-trained pastors how to preach accurate, informative, and even exciting sermons that are solidly rooted in the Hebrew text and do not require an inordinate amount of time to prepare.
According to Chisholm, too many seminary courses don’t teach students how to make the transfer from parsing verbs to crafting relevant text-based sermons. This practical guide provides a comprehensive corrective, moving readers from the beginning stages of exegesis to the finished sermon.
Designed as a textbook for a second-year Hebrew course, From Exegesis to Exposition
– introduces students to the best language tools (including computer aids)
– guides students in making text-critical decisions
– discusses how to determine the precise meaning of Hebrew words and phrases and how to avoid common mistakes made in word studies
– surveys Hebrew syntax and demonstrates the impact basic grammatical observations can have on exegesis
– explains how a text’s literary form and features influence interpretation
– outlines and illustrates an interpretive method
– includes numerous examples and exercises to guide readers through the exegetical process and give them an opportunity to develop their own skill
– shows students how to construct an exposition from their exegetical work and includes several sample expositions
Chisholm reminds pastors and seminarians that it is never too late to renew their commitment to the importance of using Hebrew in ministry, regain a knowledge of the essentials of the language, and learn how to use the Hebrew Bible effectively.
