paperbackWe Become What We Worship
A Biblical Theology of Idolatry
by G. K. Beale
The heart of the biblical understanding of idolatry, argues Gregory Beale, is that we take on the characteristics of what we worship. Employing Isaiah 6 as his interpretive lens, Beale demonstrates that this understanding of idolatry permeates the whole canon, from Genesis to Revelation. Beale concludes with an application of the biblical notion of idolatry to the challenges of contemporary ...

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 ...

The Place of the Mind in the Christian Life

And many non-Christians are quick ...

paperbackPilgrimage of a Soul
Contemplative Spirituality for the Active Life
by Phileena Heuertz
Foreword by Shauna NiequistYou can only go so far for so long before you find the limits of yourself. For Phileena Heuertz that moment arrived, mercifully, around the same time as a sabbatical to mark her twelfth year of service with an international organization working with some of the most vulnerable people in the world. Activists often see contemplation as a luxury, the sort of thing necessarily set aside in the quest ...

Decolonial Pneumatologies of the American Global South
Missiological Engagements
by Oscar García-Johnson
Throughout the history of the Christian church, two narratives have constantly clashed: the imperial logic of Babel that builds towers and borders to seize control, versus the logic of Pentecost that empowers "glocal" missionaries of the kingdom life. To what extent are Westernized Christians today ready for the church of the Pentecost narrative? Are they equipped to do ministry ...

paperbackA Clear and Present Word
The Clarity of Scripture
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Mark D. Thompson
Series edited by D. A. CarsonBy almost any measure, a bold and confident use of the Bible is a hallmark of Christianity. Underlying such use are a number of assumptions about the origin, nature and form of the biblical literature, concerning its authority, diversity and message. However, a lack of confidence in the clarity or perspicuity of Scripture is apparent in Western Christianity. Despite recent, sophisticated analyses, ...

paperbackDiscipleship Essentials
A Guide to Building Your Life in Christ
The Essentials Set
by Greg Ogden
The Essential Workbook for Spiritual Growth
We grow in Christ as we seek him together. Jesus' own pattern of disciple-making was to be intimately involved with others and allow life to rub against life. By gathering in twos or threes to study the Bible and encourage one another, we most closely follow Jesus' example with the twelve disciples.
