  Kingdom Of Our God

  $35.00

  The story told in the Book of Isaiah is one of power, fall, loss and restoration. It speaks not only to its own time and place but to us today in a world of political unpredictably, upset and division in such a world, what does the Kingdom of God really mean? What does God’s sovereignty really look like? Can people who don’t know about God’s kingdom still serve it? Do we need to worry about unjust leaders or should we just say Jesus is the true Lord so it’ll all be fine? How does the Book of Isaiah help to walk the tightrope between God’s sovereignty and human suffering?

  Offering a timely, relevant and fresh introduction to the whole Book of Isaiah, with those in the early stages of biblical and theological study, ministry students, preachers and interested lay people in mind, the book will compliment the similar approach taken by Mark Scarlata in The Abiding Presence: A Theological Commentary on Exodus (published July 2018).

  God Remembered Rachel (Student/Study Guide)

  $15.99

  The women of the Old Testament are brought to life afresh in this compelling and sensitive retelling of their stories in a feminist and Christian context. Williams both celebrates affirming texts and tackles the challenge of difficult ones. Her wide-ranging treatment of varied stories about very different women reveal the rich tapestry of interweaving texts about women contained in the Old Testament and the patriarchal agendas that shaped them. Whilst they belong to a different time, culture and set of values, Williams draws out their evergenerative capacity to afford us insight for today’s church and world’ Katharine Dell, Fellow and Director of Studies in Theology, University of Cambridge ‘Some of these texts delight, some horrify, and some perplex, but under Williams careful tutelage we are challenged to reflect afresh on how it is these texts continue to address us today’ David G. Firth, Lecturer in Old Testament and Director of Research, St John’s College Nottingham.
