paperbackThe Decalogue
Living as the People of God
by David L. Baker
- Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Top Shelf Book Cover Award 2017
The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, have long been a pillar of Western law and culture. In more recent times they have been a point of controversy in the public square. But on closer scrutiny the commandments are particularly addressed to the people of God. In the exodus narrative, ...

paperbackThe Gospel of the Son of God
An Introduction to Matthew
by David R. Bauer
From beginning to end, the very structure of the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the Son of God.
At climactic points Jesus is so identified—by Peter, by a Roman centurion, by Jesus himself, and by God the Father. With The Gospel of the Son of God, David Bauer provides a comprehensive introduction to this Gospel that has been so foundational to the Christian ...

paperbackConformed to the Image of His Son
Reconsidering Paul's Theology of Glory in Romans
by Haley Goranson Jacob
Foreword by N. T. WrightWith its soaring affirmations and profound statements of salvation in Christ, Romans 8 is a high point in Pauline theology. But what does Paul mean when in 8:29 he speaks of being "conformed to the image of his Son"? Remarkably, there has been little scholarly attention awarded to this Pauline statement of the goal of salvation. And yet in Christian piety, preaching, and theology, this is a treasured ...

paperbackReframing Paul
Conversations in Grace Community
by Mark Strom
The Greco-Roman world was shaped by ideals and abstract ideas. The Apostle Paul left them behind. But they continue to shape evangelical teaching and practice. This picture contradicts the common impression of Paul as an abstract theologian, someone who wrestled with deep theological doctrine while hovering six feet above everyday reality. But in fact, it was the philosopher's of Paul's day--and ...

paperback1 & 2 Timothy and Titus
N. T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides
by N. T. Wright
With Phyllis J. Le PeauWhen you need to know how to do something, a manual is the best place to start. 1 2 Timothy and Titus might be called "the Teacher's Manual," because so much of what they contain is about the kind of teaching that Christian leaders should--and shouldn't--be giving. Just as Timothy and Titus needed help to lead their young churches well in the midst of powerful cultural forces, we need guidance ...

paperbackThe Life and Witness of Peter
by Larry R. Helyer
Who was Peter and what was his true stature in the early church? For Protestants at least, Peter seems caught between two caricatures: the rustic fisherman of Galilee and the author of two lesser New Testament letters. And in both cases he is overshadowed by Paul. In The Life and Witness of Peter, Larry Helyer seeks to reinstate this neglected and underestimated apostle to his rightful ...

paperbackPocket Dictionary for the Study of Biblical Hebrew
The IVP Pocket Reference Series
by Todd J. Murphy
Of Greek and Hebrew, Hebrew strikes the most fear in the heart of the Bible student. The alphabet does not look anything like English. The vocabulary offers almost no points of contact with English. The verb system is utterly alien. And the lexicons, grammars and textbooks are wrapped up in a metalanguage--spiked with Latin--that is daunting in itself. For those who feel that studying the English ...

paperbackThe Throne, the Lamb & the Dragon
A Reader's Guide to the Book of Revelation
by Paul Spilsbury
Foreword by J. I. PackerThe book of Revelation has long intrigued, puzzled and even frightened its readers. Surely it is the most misunderstood book in the Bible. And some faulty interpretations of Revelation are so entrenched in the consciousness of Christians that they are regarded as "gospel truth" and provide riveting plot lines for end-time fiction. But behind the ancient multimedia show that is Revelation lies ...
