    paperback

    Interpreting Isaiah

    Issues and Approaches

    Edited by David G. Firth and H. G. M. Williamson

    Ever since the first century, Christians have regarded Isaiah as a high point in the Old Testament prophetic literature. Its themes of messiah and suffering servant, deliverance from exile and new creation--to name a few--have been viewed as reaching particular fulfillment in the gospel. Then too, the impact of Isaiah on the church's language of worship and hymnology, and on the Western tradition ...

    The Message of Malachi

    The Bible Speaks Today Series

    by Peter Adam

    The book of Malachi fittingly sits in Christian Bibles as the last book of the Old Testament, which it assumes, summarizes and applies. Yet it also looks forward to the New Testament with its promises of the coming reign of God. A striking feature of the book is the way in which every word of God is contradicted or questioned by his people. God's persistence in speaking to them is a clear picture ...

    Luke

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

    by Darrell L. Bock

    In Luke's vivid narrative, Jesus comes into Galilee proclaiming "good news to the poor . . . freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind."

Darrell Bock shows why Luke's Gospel ...

    N. T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides

    by N. T. Wright
    With Patty Pell

    With Lin Johnson

    Study Scripture with John Stott

    We live in a culture where the beliefs and preferences of the individual are given final authority.

    2 Peter and Jude

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

Because of that grace in Peter's past, his words in the book of 2 Peter are able to strengthen we who are his brothers and sisters in faith. ...
