Understand Scripture on Its Own Terms
What was clear to the original readers of Scripture is not always clear to us. Because of the cultural distance between the biblical world and our contemporary setting, we often bring modern Western biases to the text. For example:

paperbackSeasoned Speech
Rhetoric in the Life of the Church
by James E. Beitler III
The Christian faith depends to a great degree on persuasion. In one of his letters to early Christians, the apostle Paul wrote, "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone" (Col. 4:6).

But few activities ...

Music and the Practice of Preaching
Dynamics of Christian Worship

paperbackPocket Dictionary of Ethics
Over 300 Terms Ideas Clearly Concisely Defined
The IVP Pocket Reference Series
by Stanley J. Grenz and Jay T. Smith
Ethics is as old as the city-state and as new as cyberspace. Guided by the wagon tracks of moral tradition, it nevertheless rides the cutting edge of science and technology. Increasingly it is moving into the corner offices of law, business, medicine, science and technology.
But few of us arrive in our first ethics class--or take our seat on an ethics committee--with a grip on the range of ...
