paperbackIn Defense of Natural Theology
A Post-Humean Assessment
Edited by James F. Sennett and Douglas Groothuis
The shadow of David Hume, the eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher, has loomed large against all efforts to prove the existence of God from evidence in the natural world. Indeed from Hume's day to ours, the vast majority of philosophical attacks against the rationality of theism have borne an unmistakable Humean aroma. The last forty years, however, have been marked by a resurgence in Christian ...

Volume 5
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Marco Conti
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe church fathers, as they did in earlier books dealing with Israel's history from the time of Joshua to the united monarchy, found ample material for typological and moral interpretation in 1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther. It will be immediately clear to readers of this volume that they gave much more attention to 1-2 Kings than to others; whether this was ...

paperbackThe Message of Esther
The Bible Speaks Today Series
by David G. Firth
The book of Esther tells the dramatic story of how the destruction of the Jews was averted through the bravery of Esther, the wisdom of Mordecai, and the unity of the Jewish people. Yet Esther is a rather strange book to find in the Bible. Not only is it set entirely outside of the Promised Land, it also shows no interest in that land. More than that, Esther is the only book in ...

paperbackFive Festal Garments
Christian Reflections on the Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and Esther
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Barry G. Webb
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThese five Old Testament books, traditionally known simply as "the Scrolls," are among the most neglected parts of the Christian Bible. In Judaism, the Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and Esther were eventually adopted as lectionary readings for five of the major festivals. In Christian tradition, however, no consensus has emerged about their proper use. Each book presents particular ...

paperbackThe Message of Isaiah
The Bible Speaks Today Series
by Barry G. Webb
The book of Isaiah is outstanding in its brilliance of style, poetic power, and foretaste of the hope of the gospel. It tells how God himself has provided the highway to holiness for those who have been redeemed. These are imagesthat evoke the exodus from Egypt and foreshadow Christ's achievement at the cross. There is joy even in Isaiah's portrayal of judgment—rebuilding within ...

paperbackThe Message of Luke
The Bible Speaks Today Series
by Michael Wilcock
Luke the physician was fascinated by people—rich and poor, Jews and Gentiles, men and women, rulers and slaves. In his Gospel he delights to portray Jesus as the Savior not of an elite group but of anyone, in any condition, who turns to him. Jesus is indeed the Savior of the world.
Luke knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote his Gospel. He tells us his goal in the opening ...
