A Theological Response to Global Violence Against Women and Girls
by Elizabeth Gerhardt
Violence against women and girls is a human rights epidemic that affects millions of lives around the world.

paperbackThe Revelation to John
A Commentary on the Greek Text of the Apocalypse
by Stephen S. Smalley
The Revelation to John by Stephen Smalley is a magisterial interpretation of John's Apocalypse as a grand drama, which can only be properly understood in light of John's Gospel and letters and in the context of the Johannine community.

paperbackChristianity versus Fatalistic Religions in the War Against Poverty

paperbackLife After Church
God's Call to Disillusioned Christians
by Brian Sanders
Life without church. It's getting easier to imagine. And maybe you already left. A leaver, then. Committed to Jesus, not an institution. Perhaps you've left your church in spirit, remaining in the pew. Outwardly silent. Secretly bored. In either case, Brian Sanders has a word for you. Out of his own experience as a leaver, Brian distills the complex problem into two viable options:
- Stay. ...

A Day of Power for All People
The Fullness of Time
by Emilio Alvarez
"The power of Pentecost is inseparable from the good news of the Christ who is proclaimed in the Gospels, in accordance with the Scriptures."
Pentecost may well be the most misconstrued day on the church calendar. A long legacy of cessationism has drained Pentecost of much of its significance, and it's largely misunderstood in many Western churches today, if not outright ignored.
That's ...

paperback2 Chronicles
An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

The Chronicler wrote as a pastoral theologian. The congregation he addressed was an Israel separated from its former days of blessing by a season of judgment. The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles bring a divine word of healing and reaffirm the hope of restoration to a nation that needed to regain its footing in God's promises and to reshape its life before God. The Chronicler expounds the Bible as he ...
