    The 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.

In fact, the authors of The New Christian Zionism contend that the biblical and theological ...

    Priscilla

    The Life of an Early Christian

    by Ben Witherington III

    Who was Priscilla?

    Readers of the Bible may know her as the wife of Aquila, Paul's coworker, or someone who explained baptism to Apollos. Biblical references to Priscilla spark questions: Why is she mentioned before her husband? Does the mention of her instruction of Apollos mean that women taught in the church? What is her story?

    Ben Witherington addresses these questions ...

    Edited by Beth Kreitzer

    "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Reflecting on this verse from the Gospel of Luke (2:11), Martin Luther declared it to be a summary of the gospel: "See here what the gospel is, namely, a joyful sermon about Christ our Savior. Whoever preaches him rightly preaches the gospel and pure joy."Reformation commentators meditated upon the significance ...

He shows how, for Paul, thanksgiving ...

    Paperback

    Knowing the Holy Spirit Through the Old Testament

    Knowing God Through the Old Testament Set

    by Christopher J. H. Wright

    We tend to think of the Holy Spirit as the straggler of the Trinity, a latecomer in God's interaction with the world. But our first introduction to the Holy Spirit is not the drama of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts. We first meet the HolySpirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence.

    Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit ...

    Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament

    Knowing God Through the Old Testament Set

    by Christopher J. H. Wright

    We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story.Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? Should we listen to other gospels, other sayings of Jesus, that enlarge and correct a mistaken story? Is the real Jesus entangled in a web of the church's Scripture, awaiting liberation from our childhood faith so he might speak to our ...
