    The Cross of Christ

    by John Stott
    Foreword by Alister McGrath

    "I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross. . . . In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?" With compelling honesty John Stott confronts readers with the centrality of the cross in God's redemption of our pain-filled world.

    Learning Theology with the Church Fathers

    by Christopher A. Hall

    The early church fathers were great theologians--though they did not think of themselves as such. They were working pastors, involved in the daily life and leadership of their congregations. Yet they were wrestling with many of the great and formative questions of the Christian faith, such as the Trinity, the incarnation, the providence of God and the nature of the church. These beliefs were ...

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

    by Knut Martin Heim
    Series edited by David G. Firth
    Consulting Editor Tremper Longman III

    The book of Ecclesiastes is probably best known for its repeated refrain that "everything is meaningless," or "vanity." However, a thorough reading demonstrates that this is not its final conclusion.

    Knut Heim's Tyndale commentary shows that the book is intellectually sophisticated, theologically rich, emotionally deep—and full of humor. While it is realistic about life, it is life-affirming ...

    The Samaritan Woman's Story

    Reconsidering John 4 After #ChurchToo

    by Caryn A. Reeder

    Reader's Choice Award Winner

    Most Christians have heard a familiar description of the Samaritan woman in John 4: she was a sinner, an adulteress, even a prostitute. Throughout church history, the woman at the well has been seen narrowly in terms of her gender and marital history. What are we missing in the story? And what difference does our interpretation ...

    Body & Soul

    Human Nature the Crisis in Ethics

    by J. P. Moreland and Scott B. Rae

    While most people throughout history have believed that we are both physical and spiritual beings, the rise of science has called into question the existence of the soul. Many now argue that neurophysiology demonstrates the radical dependence, indeed, identity, between mind and brain. Advances in genetics and in mapping human DNA, some say, show there is no need for the hypothesis of body-soul dualism. ...
