Volume 4
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by John R. Franke
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe history of the entry into the Promised Land followed by the period of the Judges and early monarchy may not appear to readers today as a source for expounding the Christian faith. But the church fathers readily found parallels, or types, in the narrative that illumined the New Testament.

Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Arthur Just Jr
General Editor Thomas C. OdenFor the church fathers the Gospels did not serve as resources for individual analysis and academic study. They were read and heard and interpreted within the worshiping community. They served as sources for pastoral counsel and admonition for those who were committed to the Way. Although Matthew and John were generally the preferred Gospels, Luke, because of his particular interests ...

Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Joel C. Elowsky
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe Gospel of John was beloved by the early church, much as it is today, for its spiritual insight and clear declaration of Jesus' divinity. Clement of Alexandria indeed declared it the "spiritual Gospel."

General Editor Thomas C. OdenChristianity Today Book of the Year
For the early church fathers, certain passages in the shorter letters of St. Paul proved particularly important in doctrinal disputes and practical church matters.

Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Quentin F. Wesselschmidt
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe Psalms have long served a vital role in the individual and corporate lives of Christians, expressing the full range of human emotions, including some that we are ashamed to admit. The Psalms reverberate with joy, groan in pain, whimper with sadness, grumble in disappointment, and rage with anger. The church fathers employed the Psalms widely. In liturgy they used them both ...

These heirs to rationalism began to explore the full range of human experience--which became ...

Power, Space and Influence
by MaryKate Morse
Foreword by Leonard SweetYou don't just lead with your voice and your decisions. You lead with your body.

Yet, pastor and spiritual director MaryKate Morse contends, most of us are unaware of the ways we do or can use our bodies to influence ...

paperbackThis Ordinary Adventure
Settling Down Without Settling
by Christine Jeske and Adam Jeske
They started out living the dream. They promised themselves and each other that every day would be an amazing day. They even stuck that phrase—"Amazing Days"—on their refrigerator, like Martin Luther pounding his conviction into a door and launching the next great era of the church. "Ready or not," they told the world, "here we come." They traveled the planet, doing missions and community development ...
