The Joseph Story in Biblical Theology
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Samuel Emadi

How then do we understand Joseph's significance in redemptive history? When Christians have addressed this question, the conversation has frequently turned toward typology: Is Joseph a type of the Messiah?
Messianic interpretations of the Joseph narrative have often ...

paperbackHow to Read the Psalms
How To Read Series
by Tremper Longman III
The Psalms have been well-loved and frequently used by Christians throughout history. For directness, intensity, and intimacy, they are unrivaled in all of Scripture. Somehow the psalmists seem to have anticipated our own awe, desires, and frustrations.
Yet the Psalms also challenge us when we look at them closely. Their poetry is unfamiliar in form. Many images used are foreign ...

paperbackCross-Cultural Servanthood
Serving the World in Christlike Humility
by Duane Elmer
Duane Elmer asked people around the world how they felt about Western missionaries. The response? "Missionaries could be more effective if they did not think they were better than us."

Exploring Participation and Union with Christ in John's Gospel and Letters
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Clive Bowsher
Series edited by D. A. CarsonThe New Testament writers use spatial language and imagery to portray our relationship with God, speaking both about God or Christ in us and us in them. Believers are also described as possessing and participating in divine qualities such as life and glory. Both aspects are prominent in John's Gospel and letters. However, outside the Pauline writings, union with Christ has hardly ...

paperbackInterpreting Old Testament Wisdom Literature
Edited by David G. Firth and Lindsay Wilson
In popular perception, Wisdom literature is a "self-help" or "philosophy" section of the Old Testament library—the odd and interesting bits of canonical mortar between History and Prophets. Themes that are prominent elsewhere in the Old Testament receive only scant attention in the wisdom books. Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes focus on everyday life rather than on God's special dealings with the ...
