Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Joseph T. Lienhard
General Editor Thomas C. OdenFrom its inception the church has always had a Bible—the Jewish Scriptures. But Christians have not read these Scriptures in the same way the Jews did. They have read them in the light of what God did in Jesus the Christ. Thus the Jewish Scriptures became for Christian readers the Old Testament. This Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume on Exodus through Deuteronomy ...

paperback2 Peter and Jude
An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale New Testament Commentaries
by E. Michael Green
"The epistle of 2 Peter has had a very rough passage down the centuries," says Michael Green in this commentary. "Its entry into the Canon was precarious in the extreme . . .

Three Essays on C. S. Lewis and Romanticism
Many readers have heard C. S. Lewis's logical arguments for the Christian faith.

paperbackThe Fire of the Word
Meeting God on Holy Ground
by Chris Webb
Foreword by Richard J. FosterThe Bible has the astounding power to transform lives. The stories of people like Francis of Assisi, Antony of Egypt, Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther and Martin Luther King Jr. vividly demonstrate this.

Scripture seeks to capture our minds, not merely educate ...

What Christians Actually Do (and Don't) Believe

How can Christians explain their faith in a way that Muslims can understand? In his work with Muslims in central London, Robert Scott has discovered that many are quite open to talking about matters of ...

paperbackGrace for the Children
Finding Hope in the Midst of Child and Adolescent Mental Illness
by Matthew S. Stanford
The church's response to child and adolescent mental health disorders has too often been characterized by fear and misinformation rather than grace or wisdom. The result has been families that desperately need practical advice and pastoral care on these disorders, and on the thorny issues that often surround them.
Psychologist Matthew Stanford has written Grace for the ...
