    Edited by Joseph R. Dodson and David E. Briones
    Foreword by John M. G. Barclay

    Biblical Foundations Award Finalist

    What forces shaped the intellectual world of the apostle Paul? How familiar was he with the great philosophers of his age, and to what extent was he influenced by them? When he quoted Greco-Roman sources, what was his aim?

    Together in Ministry

    Women and Men in Flourishing Partnerships

    by Rob Dixon
    Foreword by Ruth Haley Barton

    Women and men are designed to work together in fulfilling God's mission on earth. Yet God's original intent for equal partnership has been so distorted that churches and organizations continually struggle to foster healthy mixed-gender ministry collaboration.

    A Guide to Building Your Life in Christ

    The Essentials Set

    by Greg Ogden

    The Essential Workbook for Spiritual Growth

    Exploring Texts, Contexts, and Significance

    by Matthew E. Gordley

    We know that the earliest Christians sang hymns. Paul encourages believers to sing "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs." And at the dawn of the second century the Roman official Pliny names a feature of Christian worship as "singing alternately a hymn to Christ as to God." But are some of these early Christian hymns preserved for us in the New Testament? Are they right before our eyes? New Testament ...

    by Jeffrey F. Keuss

    "Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer." —Rainer Maria Rilke Life is full of questions: questions about our identity, our relationships, our faith.

  • Calling in Context: Social Location and Vocational Formation, By Susan L. Maros

    Calling in Context

    Social Location and Vocational Formation

    by Susan L. Maros

    "I don't care for vocational books written in the United States; they're too American." When Susan Maros heard this comment from a Malaysian colleague, she was initially taken aback. Isn't the concept of calling universal? Why wouldn't resources with a biblical perspective on vocation apply to everyone? The reality is that each of us encounters our questions of calling from within ...
