Personalities, Potential, Politics and Power
The Bible Speaks Today Series
by Mary J. Evans
In the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, we witness the transition of Israel from tribal confederacy to established monarchy. And, as Mary Evans shows in this passage-by-passage commentary, during such a transition questions of identity and power are unavoidable.
In the aftermath of the decline of the judges, priests abuse their priestly privileges; Israelites covet the centralized ...

paperbackWelcome, Holy Spirit
A Theological and Experiential Introduction
by Gordon T. Smith
World Guild Award Winner
As the renowned scholar Thomas Oden noted, "No subject of Christian teaching is more prone to fanaticism and novelty and subjectivism than that of the Holy Spirit." The Bible's own metaphors for the Spirit are as elusive as they are evocative—wind, oil, flame, water, dove—making pneumatology a mysterious study. But shying away from ...

paperbackJesus Is Lord, Caesar Is Not
Evaluating Empire in New Testament Studies
Edited by Scot McKnight and Joseph B. Modica
Foreword by Andy CrouchThe New Testament is immersed in the often hostile world of the Roman Empire, but its relationship to that world is complex. What is meant by Jesus' call to "render unto Caesar" his due, when Luke subversively heralds the arrival of a Savior and Lord who is not Caesar, but Christ? Is there tension between Peter's command to "honor the emperor" and John's apocalyptic denouncement of Rome as "Babylon ...

A Pastor's Journey Through Sex Addiction
by T. C. Ryan
Foreword by Walter Wangerin Jr.There are some things we just don't talk about. Things like sex, particularly when our sexuality is a matter of personal struggle. Things like the vulnerabilities of our pastors, who must maintain a façade not merely of respectability but of moral and psychological superiority. We don't talk about things that make us feel insecure, that make us feel unsettled. But the nature of spiritual growth, ...

paperbackBody & Soul
Human Nature the Crisis in Ethics
by J. P. Moreland and Scott B. Rae
While most people throughout history have believed that we are both physical and spiritual beings, the rise of science has called into question the existence of the soul. Many now argue that neurophysiology demonstrates the radical dependence, indeed, identity, between mind and brain. Advances in genetics and in mapping human DNA, some say, show there is no need for the hypothesis of body-soul dualism. ...

ebookEngaging with God
A Biblical Theology of Worship
by David G. Peterson
Foreword by I. Howard MarshallWorship is of immense concern in the church and ironically the source of controversy and dispute. Can we get behind the question of what style of worship we should engage in to understand the bedrock foundation for God's people--honoring him as he desires? Is the dissatisfaction with worship voiced by so many perhaps a result of our having wandered from biblical teaching on the subject? Through ...

ebookA Clear and Present Word
The Clarity of Scripture
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Mark D. Thompson
Series edited by D. A. CarsonBy almost any measure, a bold and confident use of the Bible is a hallmark of Christianity. Underlying such use are a number of assumptions about the origin, nature and form of the biblical literature, concerning its authority, diversity and message. However, a lack of confidence in the clarity or perspicuity of Scripture is apparent in Western Christianity. Despite recent, sophisticated analyses, ...
