Pauls Metaphors : Their Context And Character
$43.00Add to cartPaul’s writings are laced with vivid images from the bustling New Testament world. To understand these metaphors, David J. Williams delves into that Greco-Roman world and uses ancient sources to explore a wide variety of topics such as architecture, law, commerce, health care, and education. Williams studies this world in chapters with titles such as “Life in the City,” “Family Life,” “Slavery and Freedom,” “Citizens and Courts of Law,” “Travel,” and “Warfare and Soldering.”
Paul’s metaphors, set apart in bold type, are examined in the light of this background information and restored to their original vitality. Well-known metaphors-the Christian as a slave of Christ, the church as a body, Paul’s two natures being at war within him, the Christian as an athlete striving toward the prize, Jesus’ return as a thief in the night, Christians as adopted heirs of God-and lesser-known metaphors come to life for the modern reader through Williams’s careful exposition.
The main text is accessible to the general reader; scholars will appreciate footnotes that discuss the Greek text and provide resources for further study. Appendix 1 lists a select chronology of the Roman Empire and appendix 2 provides dates and descriptions of significant ancient authors and tests. Scripture, ancient source, and modern author indexes add to the usefulness of this work.

Wonder Of Wonders (Student/Study Guide)
$20.49Add to cartI was overawed when Norma’s manuscript reached me this spring. Can you imagine using close to 50,000 words to describe the grace of God? Norma’s book is only the tip of the iceberg. Paul’s words in Romans 11:33 (J.B. Phillips) says, “I stand amazed at the fathomless wealth of God’s wisdom and God’s knowledge. How could any man ever understand His reasons for action, or explain His methods of working?” Norma has listed 192 definitions and examples of the Bible word “grace.” I was fascinated when Norma explained that grace is not exclusively a New Testament word. So many scholars have stated that the subject of the N.T. is “grace” while that of the O.T. is “the Law.” In the introduction Norma explains why she divided the O.T. references from the N.T. This book is encyclopedic or comprehensive in scope. It will be a welcome addition to the library of any person who is serious about studying the Word of God. It will go along side of other reference books such as translations, Bible dictionaries, commentaries, and lexicons. The other day a young Christian, looking at the age-lines in my face, asked, “As you grow older, what surprises you most about following Jesus?” My immediate answer was His Grace. Now, Norma Svenhard has written Wonder of Wonders, a definitive Bible study-outline on this very subject. Tracing God’s Grace through both Old and New Testaments, Norma’s guide is an invaluable tool for all of us seeking a deeper understanding of God’s unmerited kindness, which we call Grace. -John Sherrill, Roving Editor, Guideposts Magazine

Paul The Letter Writer Print On Demand Title
$25.99Add to cartThis engaging study shows how Paul’s stylized use of the official Roman letter a form of communication of great social import in his day played a crucial role in his apostolic ministry, conveying both his self-identity and sense of authority.
M. Luther Stirewalt describes the logistics of letter writing in the first-century Mediterranean world and shows how official letters served to substitute for speeches to an audience, to convey executive, official, or bureaucratic matters, or to bring complaints or petitions from citizens to officials. He then shows how Paul structured his apostolic correspondence after these models of writing, drawing evidence directly from seven Pauline epistles: 1 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon, Galatians, and Romans.
Cutting a new angle on Paul’s purposes, his ministry, and his pastoral concerns, Stirewalt’s “Paul, the Letter Writer” will appeal to readers of the Bible and ancient history.

Abba (Student/Study Guide)
$12.95Add to cartThe Lord’s Prayer is undoubtedly the world’s most well-known litany of petition and praise — yet it is precisely because of its familiarity that we often recite it by rote and lose the power and depth of its spiritual yearnings. In this latest installment of the popular Another Look series, Ron Lavin brings the prayer to life with a fresh approach which reminds us that Jesus was teaching his disciples (and us) how to pray and how to live. The first word of the prayer in Luke 11:1-2 — the Aramaic word Abba, loosely translated as “Daddy” — clearly indicates the true nature of the kingdom of God. Jesus’ use of this term tells us that the Ruler of the universe is not only our strong, dependable Father… but He is also a compassionate and loving Daddy with whom we can have an affectionate, intimate relationship.
Structured in eight sessions, Abba is an ideal group study resource. Each chapter is filled with humor and anecdotes, and includes questions for stimulating discussion. There are tips to assist small group leaders, along with two fascinating appendixes that share a personal viewpoint on the Lord’s Prayer.
Abba is the third title in the Another Look series on the basics of Christianity. Stories To Remember studied the parables of Jesus; I Believe; Help My Unbelief examined the Apostles’ Creed; upcoming titles will explore the Ten Commandments and the sacraments. These books are excellent for personal meditation, use with new member or adult Sunday school classes, small group studies, and sermon preparation.

Paul And Jesus
$23.50Add to cartIt has been fashionable in New Testament scholarship to view the apostle Paul as a religious “freelancer” who corrupted Jesus’ teachings. David Wenham has written convincingly against this view, and in this new book he introduces readers to the “true” Paul.
Rooted in a thorough knowledge of the New Testament, this book fulfills two important purposes. First, it provides a superb introduction to Paul himself. Wenham describes Paul’s early life, shows the importance of his conversion, and follows him on his missionary journeys. Second, the book explores Paul’s relation to Jesus. Writing in dialogue with those who wish to distance Paul from Jesus, Wenham shows just how important the ministry and teaching of Jesus were to Paul’s own thought and evangelism. What emerges from a study of Paul’s epistles is a man who drew extensively on the traditions of Jesus and faithfully worked to spread his message to the rest of the world.
