PaperbackThe Message of the Sermon on the Mount
The Bible Speaks Today Series
by John Stott
"The followers of Jesus are to be different," writes John Stott, "different from both the nominal church and the secular world, different from both the religious and the irreligious. The Sermon on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the Christian counter-culture." In the Sermon on the Mount, the "nearest thing to a manifesto" that Jesus ever ...

A Commentary on the New Testament
The IVP New Testament Commentary Series
by William J. Larkin
If ever there was a hostile environment for the gospel, it was the strife-torn, ethnically diverse backwater of the Roman Empire known as Palestine following the ascension of Jesus. But the gospel thrived--beginning from Jerusalem and spreading throughout Judea, Samaria and the rest of the known world.In Acts, the sequel to his Gospel, Luke tells how the Holy Spirit transformed a ragtag band of ...

by Gwenfair Walters Adams
"If we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his."

PaperbackExploring the Old Testament
A Guide to the Historical Books
Exploring the Bible Series
by Philip E. Satterthwaite and J. Gordon McConville
The historical books, from Joshua to Ezra and Nehemiah, form the narrative backbone of the Old Testament. Without them the Pentateuch would stop cold and the Prophets would hang in suspension. Even the Psalms and Wisdom literature would lose someof their luster for lack of a setting. Without these historical books the New Testament would be resolving an incomplete narrative, answering a question ...

PaperbackScripture and Cosmology
Reading the Bible Between the Ancient World and Modern Science
by Kyle Greenwood
Christians often claim to hold a biblical worldview. But what about a biblical cosmos view? From the beginning of Genesis we encounter a vaulted dome above the earth, a "firmament," like the ceiling of a planetarium. Elsewhere we read of the earth sitting on pillars. What does the dome of heaven have to do with deep space? Even when the biblical language is clearly poetic, it seems to be funded ...

Tradition, Authority and Hermeneutics
Wheaton Theology Conference Series
Edited by Vincent E. Bacote, Laura Miguelez Quay, and Dennis L. Okholm
By definition, a high view of Scripture inheres in evangelicalism. However, there does not seem to be a uniform way to articulate an evangelical doctrine of Scripture. Taking up the challenge, Vincent Bacote, Laura Miguélez and Dennis Okholm present twelve essays that explore in depth the meaning of an evangelical doctrine of Scripture that takes seriously both the human and divine dimensions of ...
PaperbackPocket Dictionary for the Study of Biblical Hebrew
The IVP Pocket Reference Series
by Todd J. Murphy
Of Greek and Hebrew, Hebrew strikes the most fear in the heart of the Bible student. The alphabet does not look anything like English. The vocabulary offers almost no points of contact with English. The verb system is utterly alien. And the lexicons, grammars and textbooks are wrapped up in a metalanguage--spiked with Latin--that is daunting in itself. For those who feel that studying the English ...
