So Shall It Be
$16.86So Shall It Be is a detailed look at just one specific slice of Bible prophecy: the tribulation. The author believes that God gave the details of the future judgments not to spell out the gloom and doom of His wrath, but to invite unbelievers to experience His great love and power. Very few, if any, other books look just at the tribulation. When all of the other aspects of the book of Revelation are added, it can be somewhat confusing, especially for non-Christians and those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with Bible prophecy. Christians may find this book very helpful as a tool of evangelism, with the increased interest in the end times and prophecy, as well as a personal guide through the various scenes and events of the Bible’s most intriguing book. Most chapters close with an impassioned invitation to surrender to the lordship of Jesus Christ before it’s too late.

As you progress through the book and the mysteries begin to open up your understanding, you will say, “I’ve never heard that before,” and “I’ve never seen that before, but I see it now.”

Did God Really Say That
$34.98Did God Really Say That? Satan’s actual words (
as recorded in Genesis 3:1)
were “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not…?” Our enemy, Satan, “more subtle
than any beast of the field” is a clever deceiver!
The author recognizes that God’s Word has not changed from the beginning.
Satan continues his deceptions. His great tool of our age is the lie of evolution.
This book challenges that lie, and explains to readers that the foundations of
the Christian faith, beginning with the creation, still stand. The author writes
in an enjoyable style and includes Scripture passages within the text to
effectively explain how one’s belief regarding origins affects our daily
lives six thousand years later.
This book is written for all Christians, and for Jews who want to learn how
science fits with the fact that God created everything from nothing in six days,
as God inspired Moses to record. Christians and Jews worship the same
Creator God, and the Jews are part of God’s master plan. Our Jewish friends
might be interested in why Christians accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

In Touch With Eternity
$31.23Read this book. Come with me; see for yourself. You will learn lessons that you will never forget. Regardless of your religious inclinations, you will accumulate knowledge on many subjects. At first I thought I would write for the uninformed, the non-religious. But assuredly, I also wanted to reach those bright and upwardly mobile men and women who make things happen in global environments. I see them racing through air terminals-jetting to faraway places-with small Notebook computers, hand-held cell phones, opening one deal, closing another. I also want to reach those who commute to their jobs, balancing home and family responsibilities. Many of them do not allow time for spiritual development. I wish to make contact with them. Finally I want to reach the quiet ones. Those men and women who have succeeded in their chosen fields, and now they wish to reclaim some time for spiritual development that they forfeited in the pursuit of their success. Now is the time for you to be better informed, step forward and decide on major issues. Now is the time for you to take action and make a difference in this world. You who are the descendants of the Hebrew tribes, whatever degree of faith you have must decide. And those of you who are believing Christians, whatever degree of faith you have must decide. And for those of you for whom this information is new, I pray that my writings will enlighten you in your personal spiritual journey, to help you to decide as well.

Reading The Bible Today
$20.0014 Chapters
Additional Info
Readers who effectively discern God’s Word speaking in Scripture to today’s world distinguish between the cultural circumstances of origin of the biblical writings and their abiding message. This new book by distinguished biblical scholar Edgar McKnight begins by dealing with the reality, necessity, and value of the completely human nature of the Bible. After discussions of the specific geographical and historical setting of the Bible and the contribution of archaeology, consideration is given to the major themes and translations of the Bible, the formation of the canon, and the language and literary means of expounding the message. The final chapter deals with the credulous, critical, and creative readings of the Bible that are possible and even necessary in light of its character as Word of God in historical and literary formAdd to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Amazing Grace
$13.7313 Lessons
Additional Info
Charles Hodge is a prolific and frequently quoted writer. From his church bulletin to his books, the things Hodge has to say are on target with what is happening among believers today. His wit allows him to speak with compassionate power.Amazing Grace! is the lastest and perhaps best example of Hodge’s ability to focus on a need and to address it with practical insights from Scripture.
Avoiding legalism on the one hand and “cheap grace” on the other, this book pleads for a sound doctrine. This doctrine must be primary in the preaching of the gospel, for the gospel is the message of God’s free and gracious gift of eternal life in Jesus.

Hospitality To The Stranger
$33.00The essays contained in this book offer exploratory studies towards a constructive account of “fundamental ethics,” that is, a basic description of the constitutive components of the moral life. Thomas Ogletree sketches out the systematic components of Christian ethics, relating them to symbolic ethics–the mediation of Christian traditions of moral understanding–and practical ethics–the critical appropriation of scientific studies of factors controlling human action.

Use Of The Bible In Christian Ethics
$40.00In this book, Thomas Ogletree seeks to establish common ground between biblical understandings and contemporary ethical inquiry. Drawing upon phenomenological investigations, he criticizes and modifies some of the most prominent conceptions of ethics, and moves toward a more coherent and comprehensive ethical theory. Guided by this theory, he critically engages selected biblical treatments of the moral life, placing special emphasis on biblical accounts of eschatology in its import for the ordered life of emerging Christian communities.

Ethics And The Old Testament (Student/Study Guide)
$27.00“Establishing the relevance of Old Testament ethics to contemporary life is, as Barton concedes, an uphill task. For many Christians today – let alone those with no religious commitment – to find some way of accommodating them into a coherent moral system by which to live in the 21st century seems at best implausible and at worst ridiculous or even immoral. However, Barton is convinced that in many areas of ethical enquiry the Old Testament has much to teach us, and he argues his case in this new edition of “”Ethics and the Old Testament””. He looks again at the Ten Commandments; the narrative about David and his children; the ethical issue of ecology; sexual morality and property; human morality as the express command of God; and the motivation for moral conduct. An additional chapter offers fresh views about the value of Old Testament ethics in discussions on human dignity. Barton’s aim is to show that although the Old Testament comes from a remote, alien and apparently unsophisticated context, the powerful minds who

Jesus Judaism And Christian Anti Judaism
$28.00Current scholarship in the study of ancient Christianity is now available to non-specialists through this collection of essays on anti-Judaism in the New Testament and in New Testament interpretation. While academic writing can be obscure and popular writing can be uncritical, this group of experts has striven to write as simple and clearly as possible on topics that have been hotly contested. The essays are arranged around the historical figures and canonical texts that matter most to Christian communities and whose interpretation has fed the negative characterizations of Jews and Judaism. A select annotated bibliography also gives suggestions for further reading. This book should be an excellent resource for academic courses as well as adult study groups.

Apocalypse Recalled : The Book Of Revelation After Christendom
$56.66The Book of Revelation has often been read as a set of endtime scenarios, glorifying a vengeful God and predicting and even fomenting apocalyptic violence. Yet it continues to exert a profound hold on the dreams and visions, fears and nightmares of our contemporary, first-world, secular culture. Harry Maier insists that, however much one is skeptical of its misuse or awed by its influence, Revelation still harbors a powerful and important message for Christians today. His fascinating book, erudite yet also intensely personal, asks us to recall Apocalypse through a careful exegesis of Revelation’s deeper literary currents against the backdrop of imperial Rome. He explores the narrrator’s literary identity, the plot or journey of the text, its many ocular and aural dimensions, and the ambiguous temporal dimensions of its “past vision of a future time.” Revelation, he believes, “offers an inversion of the violent and militaristic ideals of a first-century Roman Empire by offering a highly ironical political parody of imperial politics and insisting the true power belongs to the hero of the Apocalypse, the Slain Lamb.” In the end, Apocalypse Recalled seeks to free the imprisoned John of Patmos and employ his massively influential and controversial text to awaken a sleeping, sidelined, and culturally assimilated church to new imperatives of discipleship.

Seeing The Psalms
$40.00William Brown introduces a new method of exegesis, particularly for biblical poetry, that attends to the metaphorical contours of the psalms. His method as proposed and demonstrated in this book supplements traditional ways of interpreting the psalms and results in a fresh understanding of their original context and contemporary significance. Brown’s pioneering work explores the hermeneutical promises and challenges of interpreting the book of Psalms through the lens of metaphor. While form-critical analysis has been the staple of psalms research for over a century, scholars have by and large overlooked the Psalter’s use of imagery at great theological cost. More than any other corpus in Scripture, the Psalter embodies “incarnational language,” discourse that is as visceral as it is sublime. The psalmist’s use of imager, Brown argues, has the power to captivate the imagination, edify the mind, and cultivate moral discernment and theological reflection.

“Be thankful” (Colossians 3:15) is a recurring exhortation in the letters of the apostle Paul. No other New Testament writer gives such a sustained emphasis on thanksgiving-and yet, major modern studies of Paul fail to wrestle with it.David Pao aims to rehabilitate this theme in this comprehensive and accessible study, a New Studies in Biblical Theology volume. He shows how, for Paul, thanksgiving is grounded in the covenantal traditions of salvation history. To offer thanks to God is to live a life of worship and to anticipate the future acts of God, all in submission to the lordship of Christ. Ingratitude to God is idolatry. Thanksgiving functions as a link between theology, including eschatology, and ethics.
Here Pao provides clear insights into the passion of an apostle who never fails to insist on the significance of both the gospel message and the response this message demands.
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.

Spirit And The Word
$28.33This volume brings together some of Mowinckel’s most important and interesting work on the prophets. He begins by introducing the reader to the method of tradition history and how it is related to form criticism and literary criticism. From this groundwork, he goes on to explore how this method is essential for analyzing the prophetic literature in the Hebrew Bible. In order to make it more helpful for students, each essay has been supplemented with additional notes and bibliography to show where the discussion has continued since Mowinckel. A bibliography of Mowinckel’s work in English and a bibliography of essays evaluating Mowinckel’s contributions are also included. This will provide an excellent supplementary textbook for courses on the prophets.

‘Now my eyes have seen you.” (Job 42:5)Few biblical texts are more daunting, and yet more fascinating, than the book of Job-and few have been the subject of such diverse interpretation.
For Robert Fyall, the mystery of God’s ways and the appalling evil and suffering in the world are at the heart of Job’s significant contribution to the canon of Scripture. This New Studies in Biblical Theology volume offers a holistic reading of Job, with particular reference to its depiction of creation and evil, and finds significant clues to its meaning in the striking imagery it uses.
Fyall takes seriously the literary and artistic integrity of the book of Job, as well as its theological profundity. He concludes that it is not so much about suffering per se as about creation, providence and knowing God, and how-n the crucible of suffering-these are to be understood. He encourages us to listen to this remarkable literature, to be moved by it, and to see its progress from shrieking protest to repentence and vision.

Bible On Leadership
$18.95Millions have been inspired by the Bible’s spiritual lessons. Now, Lorin Woolfe provides a unique way to view the Bible . . . for leadership lessons that can be applied to our modern business world. Consider David’s courage and innovation in slaying Goliath with just a stone and a sling; Moses’ outstanding “”succession planning”” in picking Joshua; Joseph and the political skills that brought him to the seat of power; and of course, Jesus’ compassion, communication skills, and vision that launched Christianity (a long-term success by any measure). These are leaders among leaders. Their achievements — and their inspired methods of achievement — offer a wholly different perspective on business leadership. For the dozens of Biblical stories presented, the book provides: * A concise retelling of each story * One (or more) leadership lessons suggested by each story * Examples of contemporary business leaders who exhibit some of the inspired traits of these ancient leaders, including: Fred Smith of FedEx, Howard Shultz of Starbucks, Tom Chappell of Tom’s of Maine (a “toothpaste with a mission”), Roy Vagelos of Merck, and many more. The chapters cover these universal topics: Courage * Purpose * Communication * Honesty and Integrity * Power and Influence * Performance Management * Team Building * Humility * Compassion * Justice * Encouragement and Consequences * Wisdom * Creating the Future Each topic concludes with a list of key points to keep in mind as readers continue on their own leadership journeys.

What Is New Testament Theology
$28.33Does New Testament theology rightly deal with the documents of the New Testament or with something outside the text, such as the unfolding of early Christian religion, the events of salvation history, the historical Jesus in particular, or an understanding of human existence? Is New Testament theology a strictly historical project, a dialectical interaction between historical interpretation and hermeneutical concerns or solely hermeneutical program? This volume by a seasoned biblical scholar not only describes how New Testament theology has been done but provides critiques of the major approaches in the twentieth century as well as his own proposal.

Out Of The Depths
$48.33Whether understood as sin, as embracing all manner of suffering and injustice, or as the inexplicable human choice of evil over good, evil has historically been described and pondered chiefly through male categories understood as a universal viewpoint. Likewise salvation. Gebara here presents an alternative, feminist approach to evil and salvation. She allows women to voice their personal suffering from their own contexts, thereby manifesting their many differences. She then introduces a perspective on evil and salvation based in gender analysis to address specifically “the evil women do,” the evil they suffer, and women’s redemptive experiences of God and salvation.

Discovering Christ In Genesis
$24.69This volume is not intended to be a full exposition of the Book of Genesis. The purpose is to set forth, as simply and clearly, the grace and glory of God in Christ in the opening pages of Holy Scripture. So states Don Fortner in the Preface to this volume – and this is precisely what he does. By commenting on the principal characters to whom God revealed himself in the book of Genesis and the major events of their lives, the author brings to light the presence of Christ and the evidence of God’s great plan of redemption in these opening chapters of the Bible. But he does not leave it there: concerned to impart to the reader a greater appreciation of Christ, the Saviour of sinners, the author intersperses teaching and application, with the intention of encouraging believers to live lives of worship and committed service to Christ.

What On Earth Is The Kingdom Of God
$16.86What On Earth Is the Kingdom of God? is an exciting and insightful overview and presentation of the biblical theme of the Kingdom of God. Dr. Young takes the reader through a step-by-step account of the unfolding of the Kingdom of God in history. The study begins in the Garden of Eden where the Kingdom is seen in type like a small “seed” that generates into the “stem” as the nation of Israel. It is against this prophetic expectation and the teaching of Jesus that the Kingdom comes to “flower” in the person of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of God is the unifying theme that shows continuity in the plan and progress of the revelation of God to man. Jesus Christ is revealed in the New Testament as the King of God’s Kingdom. Christ introduces the reign and rule of God to those who willfully submit to it! The following questions are considered: What was the Garden of Eden originally meant to be? How was Israel to show the world the kingship of God? Did Jesus come preaching that He was inaugurating the long-awaited Kingdom? What happened to the Jewish nation when they rejected the Kingdom of God? Do we look for David’s throne to be occupied at some future date? Are the gifts of the Spirit and the gifts of the ascended Christ present today? What is meant by the terms the “all ready” and the “not yet”? Are the Church and the Kingdom one in the same?

Time Of Travail
$16.86A Time of Travail, a simple study into the book of Revelation and the Hebrew prophets, brings to light the sequence of events that must occur prior to, as well as those that will occur during the Tribulation. By taking both the Old and New Testament scriptural passages and bringing them together, it demonstrates to the reader that prophetic scripture cannot be separated into two books, but rather it is a single book that was given to the Jew first and then reiterated for the benefit of the rest of mankind as a warning of things to come. This book will not always give earthly rational answers to an event because we truly serve a God who is beyond earth’s confinement and it’s associated physical laws. A Time of Travail is intended for those: Who desire to understand the sequence of events that must precede the tribulation and why, as well as those events that will occur during the tribulation. Wishing to understand the correlation between Old and New Testament prophetic scriptures in a simple way. Who would like to meet the players during this period of time with all the symbolism peeled away. Offering some non-earthy answers and corresponding rationale to some of the events that will be administered by a God not bound by our physical laws.

Winds Of Hope For A World Out Of Breath
$16.18How can the past speak to the present? How can the ancient make itself known in the contemporary? Many feel that it cannot — that nothing can be learned from the past – that everything to be learned is in the present and in the future.

6. Advocates For The Powerless
7. Who Are The Prophets For Our Time?Additional Info
Sensational books on “biblical prophecy” that warn of the end of the world continue to make the bestseller lists. James Limburg demonstrates that the actual prophets — Nathan, Elijah, Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah — were less concerned with such questions than with the urgent call for justice in society: The prophets keep surprising us. Time and again they take us by the hand and lead us to the home of a widow or point us to a lonely orphan. They may show us the eyes of a poor man or introduce us to a stranger. These, you see, are the powerless.Original and interesting. Limburg writes in a way that should catch the attention of the undergraduate student and the person in the pew, and he brings home a central feature in the prophetic message in a way that is telling and related to questions most people are raising.
Ideal for study groups and individual use, this little book enables the general reader to approach the Old Testament prophets with understanding.

People Called : The Growth Of Community In The Bible
$65.00This study focuses on a very basic theme, the tender art of living together in community. T.S. Elliot posed the question succinctly: “What life have you if you have not life together?” He thereby pointed to a truth verified both by social scientists and by our own practical experience: we receive life, we foster life, and we pass life on within the context of fellow humans. But how varied is the quality of life experienced by different humans, or even by the individual at different stages of life! Any thoughtful sensitive person is deeply aware of the fragile treasure that life is, with remarkable potential for warmth, friendship, joy, creativity, and generosity, yet so frequently threatened or destroyed by anxiety, bitterness, greed, anger, and hostility. The Bible presents a rich pageant of life in community. Its stories, hymns, and proverbs cover the whole range of human feelings and experiences, It gives the story of a people who puzzled through the riddle of life from the midst of life, and came to a conclusion strikingly similar ro Eliot’s: “There is no life that is not community. And no community not lived in praise of God.”

In Philippians, Paul addresses his favorite community in intimate terms to offer thanks for a gift they have sent him and to urge them to maintain unity in the face of opposing forces. 1 Thessalonians, Paul’s first letter, is written to encourage the congregation in that city to lead lives worthy of the gospel.
The commentary traces the movement of the letters, paragraph by paragraph, and pays particular attention to the literary character of the writing, and to the theological implications of the text for the church today.

Jesus And The Village Scribes
$45.00This volume challenges Gerd Theissen’s dominant thesis of “wandering radicals” as the earliest spreaders of the Jesus tradition. Several conclusions emerge: (1) the textual evidence for the “wandering radicals” hypothesis is not tenable and it must be replaced with one that more closely comports with the evidence: (2) the immediate context of the Jesus movement, and of Q in particular, is the socio-economic crisis in Galilee under the Romans; and (3) the formation of Q is the product of Galilean village scribes in the Jesus movement reacting to the negative developments in Galilee that affected their social standing. Arnal moves decisively beyond earlier Q studies, which focused almost exclusively on literary history without dealing with the social realities of the first century.

Who Is Jesus
$36.66Jesus’ life and legacy provocatively told
In Who Is Jesus? Keck clarifies the difference between the way Jesus is presented in the Gospels and the way critical historians portray him. He then explores, from four perspectives, Jesus’ contemporary moral and theological pertinence. Keck looks initially at Jesus as a first-century Jew, then considers how Jesus’ mission was energized by his grasp of the kingdom of God. He goes on to probe the meaning of the crucifixion of Jesus in light of the biblical understanding of God’s holiness, a theme largely neglected today. Keck concludes his discussion by looking at Jesus’ role in the moral life of the Christian community.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
