PaperbackThe New Testament in Seven Sentences
A Small Introduction to a Vast Topic
Introductions in Seven Sentences
by Gary M. Burge
We often explore individual passages of Scripture without seeing the whole. A verse may be inspiring and easy to grasp, but the sweeping context is often difficult and requires persistence. To understand the breadth of the gospel's message, we need to perceive the full tapestry of Scripture with its theological themes woven together. Otherwise, we miss the scope of what Jesus is ...

PaperbackReading Scripture with the Church Fathers
by Christopher A. Hall
Many Christians today long to become reacquainted with their ancient ancestors in the faith. They see a deeper worship and devotion in the prayers and hymns of the early church. And they believe that the writings of the early church can shed new light on their understanding of Scripture.

Reformation Commentary on Scripture
by N. Scott Amos
"Where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God."

Reformation Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Jason K. Lee and William M. Marsh
"As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.'"

PaperbackCarpe Diem Redeemed
Seizing the Day, Discerning the Times
by Os Guinness
You only live once—if then. Life is short, and it can be as easily wasted as lived to the full. In our harried modern world, how do we make the most of the time we have?
In these fast and superficial times, Os Guinness calls us to consequential living. As a contrast to both Eastern and secularist views of time, he restructures our very notion of history as linear ...
PaperbackWhat Hath Darwin to Do with Scripture?
Comparing Conceptual Worlds of the Bible and Evolution
by Dru Johnson
Believe it or not, the book of Genesis might have been the most Darwinian text in the ancient world.
