    A New Testament Metaphor for Total Devotion to Christ

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Murray J. Harris

    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.

    A Biblical Theology of Spiritual Adultery

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Raymond C. Ortlund Jr.
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The biblical theme of spiritual adultery stands in all its bluntness for a deeply offensive sin—the unfaithfulness of God's covenant people in departing from Yahweh, their husband, and going after false gods. Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. begins by showing how the Genesis vision of human marriage provides the logic and coherent network of meanings for the story of Israel's relationship with Yahweh. He ...

Since we have become paradoxically the glory and garbage of the universe, our ...
