    Biblical Practical Resources to Counteract Domestic Violence

    by Catherine Clark Kroeger and Nancy Nason-Clark

    Domestic violence is a leading cause of injury and death to women worldwide. Nearly one in four women around the globe is physically or sexually abused in her lifetime, and gender violence causes more death and disability among women aged 15 to 44 than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war.

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

    by Grant R. Osborne

    Few individual books of the Bible have changed the course of church history the way Paul's letter to the Romans has. Whether one thinks of Augustine's conversion in the fourth century, Luther's recovery of justification by faith in the sixteenth or Barth's challenge to recover theological exegesis of the Bible in the twentieth, Romans has been the catalyst to personal spiritual renewal and the ...

    The Bible Questions

    Shedding Light on the World's Most Important Book

    by Hal Seed

    The Bible isn't meant to be left unquestioned; it's meant to be opened and read and questioned.

Why are people so inspired by it (or fearful of it)? What does it have to do with my life? Hal Seed takes you on a ...
