In ancient Egypt, the Israelite slaves were forced to make more ...

    Evangelism for Non-Evangelists

    Sharing the Gospel Authentically

    by Mark R. Teasdale

    Evangelism. The very word makes palms sweat and images spin: buttonholing in a city park, knocking on neighborhood doors, being conscripted into evangelistic campaigns, to say nothing of that annoying religious neighbor or coworker. We have met the evangelists—and they are not us. If evangelism is the welcome door to faith, why does it grate open on rusting hinges? ...

    Exploring the Old Testament

    A Guide to the Historical Books

    Exploring the Bible Series

    by Philip E. Satterthwaite and J. Gordon McConville

    The historical books, from Joshua to Ezra and Nehemiah, form the narrative backbone of the Old Testament. Without them the Pentateuch would stop cold and the Prophets would hang in suspension. Even the Psalms and Wisdom literature would lose some of their luster for lack of a setting. Without these historical books the New Testament would be resolving an incomplete narrative, answering a question ...
