1-2 Peter Jude
$34.998 Chapters
Additional Info
“Combines scholarly approaches to these neglected books with clear exposition and timely application. Use of Anabaptist sources will appeal to a wide audience: preachers, students, and church folk. We applaud the volume heartily.” – Ralph P. Martin, Distinguished Scholar in Residence, Fuller Theological Seminary..Erland Waltner, Elkhart, Indiana, a seminary professor and church leader, explains how 1 Peter applies Jesus’ teaching on loving the enemy to believers in Asia Minor. Peter empowers them to be communities of hope, not retaliating for abuse they suffer, but bearing witness to their Lord by word, lifestyle, and doing good.
J. Daryl Charles, Taylor University, Upland, Indiana, shows how 2 Peter and Jude are relevant since the church still faces ethical compromises and pastoral dilemmas. The apocalyptic imagery stresses that the concerns of Christian faithfulness and faith are crucial. The church needs such moral exhortation.
“Solid biblical exposition in a reader-friendly format. Offers careful and detailed analysis of these books in clear, accessible language. Quotes Anabaptists working out understandings of faith under intense suffering. Valuable for pastors, Sunday school teachers, and serious students.” – Dorothy Jean Weaver, Professor Of New Testament, Eastern Mennonite Seminary
“This volume redeems 1-2 Peter and Jude for the church today. Waltner shows that 1 Peter is a letter of encouragement to those being persecuted for their faith because they are living by a Christian ethic in their stations in life. Charles sees 2 Peter and Jude as emphasizing right living, orthopraxis.” – David Schroeder, Professor Emeritus, Canadian Mennonite Bible College

This third volume of the series explores the rich content and meaning of the P’sukei D’zimrah, the morning psalms that serve as the introduction to the larger prayer service. The P’sukei D’zimrah sets the tone and prepares the way for the daily transition from secular routine to the sacred act of communal prayer; Vol. 3 helps us to appreciate this “prayer before the prayer” as a profoundly moving spiritual experience in its own right.

Even those not yet familiar with the prayer book can appreciate the spiritual richness of P’sukei D’zimrah. My People’s Prayer Book enables all worshipers, of any denomination, to encounter their own connection to 3,000 years of Jewish experience with the world and with God.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Discover how to establish working relationships with church members, move smoothly out of the “honeymoon” phase, and more. A valuable resource for new and seasoned pastors.

Left Hand Of God
$19.00Adolf Holl’s divine biography examines the life of the Holy Spirit in the context of the history of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Interweaving scholarship with religion, myth, and culture, Holl expertly traces the influence of the Holy Spirit on men and women from all walks of life, over the course of centuries. The result is quite unlike anything written before.
The Holy Spirit inspired a few Galilean fishermen to find the courage to preach a new world religion. The Jews recognized it as the breath of God. Mohammed was inspired by it in the dictation of the Koran. Yet this same spirit has moved individuals to rebel against convention, authority, and even sanity. Through Holl’s freewheeling yet always crystal-clear discourse, we see how the Holy Spirit informs an incredible array of beliefs (including those underlying the rituals of Appalachian snake handlers) and ideas (the works of Freud and James Joyce are among the many discussed).
When the book was published in Germany, Der Spiegel wrote, “Holl has presented a formidable history, linking together the most distant things in a surprising way and leaving the whole as a paradox. He leaves it to the reader to judge the encounter with the Holy Spirit as a manifestation of the divine in the human being–or as a case for the psychiatrist.”
Whatever the reader’s conclusion may be, The Left Hand of God is sure to be hailed as a major religious publishing event.
