    Numbers

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

    by Gordon J. Wenham

    "Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah" is one of the best-known hymns in the world. Yet the book of numbers, whose story that hymn summarizes, is seldom read. Why? "Its very title puts the modern reader off," writes Gordon Wenham. "In ancient time numbers were seen as mysterious and symbolic, a key to reality and the mind of God himself. Today they are associated with computers and the depersonalization ...

    Commentary on John

    Ancient Christian Texts

    by Cyril of Alexandria
    Translated by David R. Maxwell
    Edited by Joel C. Elowsky

    Cyril of Alexandria (ca. 378-444), one of the most brilliant representatives of the Alexandrian theological tradition, is best known for championing the term Theotokos (God-bearer) in opposition to Nestorius of Constantinople. Cyril's great Commentary on John, offered here in the Ancient Christian Texts series in two volumes, predates the Nestorian controversy and focuses its theological ...

    Signposts to God

    How Modern Physics and Astronomy Point the Way to Belief

    by Peter Bussey

    "The heavens declare the glory of God" (Ps 19:1). Can we still sing the words of the Psalmist in an age where scientists talk about an expanding cosmos, the Higgs boson, and the multiverse? In Signposts to God particle physicist Peter Bussey introduces readers to the mysteries of modern physics and astronomy. Written in clear, accessible prose, Bussey provides a primer ...

    Theology as Discipleship

    by Keith L. Johnson

    First Things' Year in Books

    For many people, the word "theology" evokes something dry, academic, irrelevant and disconnected from the everyday concerns of life. We surely would not say that about God, so why is our talk about God any different?

    In this engaging and accessible introduction, Keith Johnson takes a fresh look at theology. He presents ...

    Hearing God's Words

    Exploring Biblical Spirituality

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Peter Adam
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    Many discussions of Christian spirituality draw on a range of traditions and "disciplines." Little attention, however, appears to have been given to the Bible itself for its teaching on this theme or as a source of spirituality. Similarly, it is commonly assumed that, when it comes to spirituality, the evangelical tradition has little to offer. In response, Peter Adam urges us to renew our confidence ...

    • What is faith and what is science? Are they compatible?
    • Are there realities science cannot explain?
    • Is God's existence a scientific question?
    • Is the Bible consistent with the modern scientific understanding of the universe?
    • Are there scientific reasons to believe ...

    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

    For various reasons, the books of Ezra and Nehemiah have suffered comparative neglect in Old Testament scholarship. However, as Dean Ulrich demonstrates, Ezra–Nehemiah as a literary unit is part of the Christian Bible that tells God's grand story of saving activity. 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 ...
