Teaching Of The Epistle To The Hebrews A Print On Demand Title
$21.99
The Teaching of the Epistle to the Hebrews is the work of Geerhardus Vos, a man described as the most penetrating English-language exegete of the twentieth century. This volume contains Vos’s classroom lectures on Hebrews, distilling his long teaching experience on the subject into one slim volume. It is especially valuable for its scriptural illumination of such theological subjects as Christology and eschatology.
Vos first examines the strong connection of this New Testament epistle to the Old Testament and explains why the older scripture plays such a prominent role in the new. He then discusses how the concept of the Diatheke – the new covenant promise and lasting testament between God and man – found in Hebrews affects the whole of Christianity. Vos also points out that Hebrews presents its own philosophy of redemption and revelation and that it offers a significant, corrective teaching on the subject of Christian eschatology. Finally he sets forth the epistle’s teachings on the priesthood of Christ and the better sacrifice of the new covenant.
Vos’s work on Hebrews provides readers with exacting scholarship, illuminating comment, and intensive study – all testifying to his profound love of the Word of God.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
