    The Offensive Church

    Breaking the Cycle of Ethnic Disunity

    by Bryan C. Loritts

    Crises around race have put the church in a defensive posture, always reacting to racial conflicts in society. But Jesus wants more. He wants Christians to play offense by discipling people into a new humanity, where we push beyond mere diversity and into a biblical vision for ethnic unity.

    Bryan Loritts calls Christians to proactively and intentionally live out the embodied ...

    Ephesians

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

    by Walter L. Liefeld

    "More than any other book of the Bible, Ephesians displays the great purpose and plan of God for the church," Walter Liefeld writes. "It provides a perspective that is unique: God's--and the believer's--view from the 'heavenly realms.'" For those who long to delve into the mind and purposes of God, few books are more helpful than Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Here the apostle paints in broad ...

    Myths and Mistakes in New Testament Textual Criticism

    Edited by Elijah Hixson and Peter J. Gurry
    Foreword by Daniel B. Wallace

    Biblical Foundations Award Finalist and Runner Up

    Since the unexpected popularity of Bart Ehrman's bestselling Misquoting Jesus, textual criticism has become a staple of Christian apologetics.

    Ehrman's skepticism about recovering the original text of the New Testament does deserve a response. However, this renewed apologetic interest ...

    Advent

    The Season of Hope

    The Fullness of Time

    by Tish Harrison Warren

    "Christians believe not just in one coming of Christ, but in three."

    We tend to think of Advent as the season of anticipation before Christmas—and while it is that, it’s also much more. Throughout its history, the church has observed Advent as a preparation not only for the first coming of Christ in his incarnation but also for his second coming at the last day. It's also ...

    Centered-Set Church

    Discipleship and Community Without Judgmentalism

    by Mark D. Baker

    Christians can be adept at drawing lines, determining what it means to be "a good Christian" and judging those who stray out of bounds. Other times they erase all the lines in favor of a vague and inoffensive faith. Both impulses can come from positive intentions, but either can lead to stunted spiritual life and harmful relationships. Is there another option?

    Preaching in the New Testament

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Jonathan Griffiths
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    Many Christians share the assumption that preaching the word of God is at the heart of God's plans for the gospel in our age, that it is vital for the church's health, and that it is the central task of the pastor-teacher. Many helpful books on preaching are available. The vast majority are concerned with "how-to," but relatively few focus primarily on the character and theology of preaching according ...

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Joseph T. Lienhard
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    From its inception the church has always had a Bible—the Jewish Scriptures. But Christians have not read these Scriptures in the same way the Jews did. They have read them in the light of what God did in Jesus the Christ. Thus the Jewish Scriptures became for Christian readers the Old Testament.
