paperbackIs the New Testament Reliable?
by Paul Barnett
The historical claims of the New Testament--that Jesus performed miracles, fulfilled prophecy, died and rose again, and ascended into heaven--come to us as received tradition, and we receive them in faith, trusting that the New Testament is indeed an inspired collection of writings, that it indeed tells us the truth. Increasingly, the reliability of not just the New Testament but really any ...

paperbackNobody's Mother
Artemis of the Ephesians in Antiquity and the New Testament
by Sandra L. Glahn
How Has Misinterpreting Paul Led to the Silencing of Women?
Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence.
Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood ...

paperbackA Little Book for New Philosophers
Why and How to Study Philosophy
Little Books
by Paul Copan
What's the point of studying philosophy when we have theology? Is philosophy anything more than a preparation for apologetics? Often called "theology's handmaid," philosophy has sometimes suffered from an inferiority complex in the church. Many Christians see little point in it at all. But as Paul Copan contends, it is possible to affirm theology's preeminence without diminishing the value and ...

by Mark R Glanville
An Expository Preaching Guidebook for Post-Christian Communities
Preaching must connect with its hearers.

paperbackThe New Christian Zionism
Fresh Perspectives on Israel and the Land
Edited by Gerald R. McDermott
Can a theological case be made from Scripture that Israel still has a claim to the Promised Land? Christian Zionism is often seen as the offspring of premillennial dispensationalism. But the historical roots of Christian Zionism came long before the rise of the Plymouth Brethren and John Nelson Darby. In fact, the authors of The New Christian Zionism contend that the biblical and theological ...

paperbackExploring Jewish Literature of the Second Temple Period
A Guide for New Testament Students
by Larry R. Helyer
From the crisis of the Babylonian exile to the rise of rabbinic Judaism--a span of over six hundred years--the Jewish people produced a wealth of literature that lies outside the Hebrew Bible. Today it goes under names such as apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, Josephus and Philo, apocalyptic literature and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mishnah and targums. But line by line, scroll by scroll, it represents the ...
