paperbackExalted Above the Heavens
The Risen and Ascended Christ
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Peter C. Orr
Series edited by D. A. CarsonChristians usually focus on what Jesus has done (his life, death and resurrection) and what he will do (his second coming and eternal reign). While there has been something of a revival of interest in his ascension, studies of Jesus in his exalted state are relatively rare. However, the Christ that Christians trust in, relate to and love is not only the one who lived, died, rose ...

Mythology, Theology, and the Deluge Debate
The Lost World Series
by John H. Walton and Tremper Longman III

paperbackRenewing Moral Theology
Christian Ethics as Action, Character and Grace
by Daniel A. Westberg
While ethical issues are being raised with new urgency, Christians are increasingly unfamiliar with the moral grammar of their faith. The need to reengage the deep-down things of the Christian moral tradition has seldom been more urgent. Moral theology has a long history in the Catholic and Anglican traditions. The tradition of theological ethics, influenced by Aristotle by way of Aquinas, offers ...

paperbackThe Mestizo Augustine
A Theologian Between Two Cultures
by Justo L. González
Few thinkers have been as influential as Augustine of Hippo. His writings, such as Confessions and City of God, have left an indelible mark on Western Christianity. He has become so synonymous with Christianity in the West that we easily forget he was a man of two cultures: African and Greco-Roman. The mixture of African Christianity and Greco-Roman rhetoric and philosophy gave ...

paperbackThe Feasts of Repentance
From Luke-Acts to Systematic and Pastoral Theology
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Michael J. Ovey
Series edited by D. A. CarsonIn gospel proclamation today, the critical New Testament element of repentance can be far too often ignored, minimalized, or dismissed. Yet John the Baptist, Jesus himself, and those he commissioned to spread his gospel all spoke of the urgent need to repent. Michael Ovey was convinced that a gospel without repentance quickly distorts our view of God, ourselves, and each other by undermining grace ...

A New Testament theology of sanctification and holiness
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by David G. Peterson
Series edited by D. A. CarsonIn this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, David Peterson challenges the common assumption that the New Testament views sanctification as primarily a process. He argues that its emphasis falls upon sanctification as a definitive event, "God's way of taking possession of us in Christ, setting us apart to belong to him and to fulfill his purpose for us." Simply to identify sanctification ...

paperbackAdopted into God's Family
Exploring a Pauline Metaphor
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Trevor J. Burke
The relationship between God and his people is understood in various ways by the biblical writers, and it is arguably the apostle Paul who uses the richest vocabulary. Unique to Paul's writings is the term huiothesia, the process or act of being "adopted as son(s)." It occurs five times in three of his letters, where it functions as a key theological metaphor. In this New Studies in Biblical ...

paperbackMinistering in Patronage Cultures
Biblical Models and Missional Implications
by Jayson Georges
Patronage governs many relationships in Majority World cultures. But regrettably, Western theologians and missionaries rarely notice this prominent cultural reality. Patronage—a reciprocal relationship between social unequals—is a central part of global cultures and the biblical story of God's mission.
Misunderstanding patronage creates problems not only for Westerners ministering ...
