    paperback

    Now and Not Yet

    Theology and Mission in Ezra–Nehemiah

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Dean R. Ulrich
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

It focuses not so much on how to be an effective leader but on how to be a godly participant in God's story. God may ...

    by Andrew T. Draper, Jody Michele, and Andrea Mae

    People with disabilities are often excluded from full participation in church communities. Accessibility is a key component of the biblical ministry of reconciliation—but it's not enough.

The units of meaning in the Bible are not chapters, or verses, or topical sections, but the literary compositions that ...
