paperbackThe Message of Ezekiel
The Bible Speaks Today Series
by Christopher J. H. Wright
Ezekiel comes to us as a stranger from a distant time and land. Who is this man? He is a priest who, on his thirtieth birthday, has a dazzling vision of God on a wheeled throne; an odd prophet who engages in outlandish street theater and speaks for God on international affairs; and a seer who paints murals of apocalyptic doom and then of a restored temple bursting with emblems of ...

The Bible Speaks Today Series
by Derek Kidner
Why would God ask one of his prophets to marry a prostitute? Because he wanted to teach Hosea, the nation of Israel, and all of us today a lesson we will not forget, a lesson that is painful yet joyous.
Hosea's somber portrait of the human condition is our lesson in pain. All of us have been unfaithful, forsaking God and his ways. Yet Hosea's clear illustration of God's love ...

paperbackThe 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.

And rather than following God in the pursuit of justice, they drew on the divine name to justify their pretense. This is the social landscape in which the prophet Amos delivers a message from God. With searing clarity and daring hope, Amos calls God's people to ...

Pursuing God's Perspective in a Pluralistic World
by Tawa J. Anderson, W. Michael Clark, and David K. Naugle
Everyone has a worldview. A worldview is the lens through which we interpret the cosmos and our lives in it. A worldview answers the big questions of life: What is our nature? What is our world? What is our problem? What is our end? As Anderson, Clark, and Naugle point out, our worldview cannot simply be reduced to a series of rational beliefs. We are creatures of story, and the kinds of stories ...
