    by Gwenfair Walters Adams

    "If we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his."

Sixteenth-century reformer Martin Luther reflected ...

    Between One Faith and Another

    Engaging Conversations on the World's Great Religions

    by Peter Kreeft

    How do we make sense of the world's different religions? In today's globalized society, religion is deeply intertwined with every issue we see on the news. But talking about multiple religions can be contentious. Are different faiths compatible somehow? And how can we know whether one religion is more true than another? In this creative thought experiment, Peter Kreeft invites us to encounter ...

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Steven A. McKinion
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." For the early church fathers the prophecy of Isaiah was not a compendium of Jewish history or theology but an announcement of the coming Messiah fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. ...

    Thanksgiving

    An Investigation of a Pauline Theme

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by David W. Pao
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    "Be thankful" (Colossians 3:15) is a recurring exhortation in the letters of the apostle Paul. No other New Testament writer gives such a sustained emphasis on thanksgiving—and yet, major modern studies of Paul fail to wrestle with it. David Pao aims to rehabilitate this theme in this comprehensive and accessible study, a New Studies in Biblical Theology volume. He shows how, for Paul, thanksgiving ...

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Andreas J. Köstenberger and Scott R. Swain
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    From the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a major source for the church's knowledge, doctrine and worship of the triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on this material—particularly patterns that seek to account in some ...

    A Theology as Big as the City

    by Raymond J. Bakke

    "As we look at the world-class cities around our planet, we face five new urban realities: a crack cocaine epidemic, assault weapons, massive numbers of homeless children, HIV/AIDS and (in the U.S.) what Time magazine has called `the browning of America.' The needs of the urban population are greater than ever. . . . As our cities swell with immigrants, I'm reminded that Jesus was born ...

    Now Choose Life

    Theology and Ethics in Deuteronomy

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Gary Millar
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    Though written thousands of years ago, the book of Deuteronomy is unmatched in its relevance for the affluent Western church of today. Moses' words were meant to equip God's people for living godly lives in a prosperous, pluralistic world. The cultural changes now taking place in our own social setting make the parallel between Israel and the church—and what Deuteronomy has to say—both pertinent ...
