Applying Christian Ethics in Economics
by John E. Stapleford
Self-interest, economic efficiency and private property rights are among the most basic assumptions of market economics. But can an economic theory built on these assumptions alone provide adequate insight into human nature, motivation and ultimate goals to guide our economic life?John Stapleford says no, along with those economists who recognize the limits of their discipline. He insightfully shows ...

A Free Church Account of Ecclesial Catholicity
Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture
by Christopher Ryan Fields
Series edited by Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Daniel J. TreierIn the words of the creeds, the church is the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic body of Christ.
Of those features, perhaps none is as misunderstood as the church's catholicity (that is, its universality)—because while the church is universal, it is also radically local, connected to a particular community or even found on a specific street corner. How might we reclaim the ...

Revelation as Canonical Capstone
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Brian Jordan Tabb
Series edited by D. A. CarsonBiblical Foundations Award Finalist and Runner Up
For many readers of the Bible, the book of Revelation is a riddle that fascinates and frustrates. Scholars and teachers have proposed different keys to its interpretation, including the "futurist" and historical-critical approaches.

Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture
by Ike Miller
Series edited by Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Daniel J. TreierHow can we understand God's revelation to us?
Throughout the church's history, theologians have often answered this question by appealing to a doctrine of illumination whereby the Holy Spirit shapes our knowledge and understanding of Scripture.

Volume 5
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Marco Conti
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe church fathers, as they did in earlier books dealing with Israel's history from the time of Joshua to the united monarchy, found ample material for typological and moral interpretation in 1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther. It will be immediately clear to readers of this volume that they gave much more attention to 1-2 Kings than to others; whether this was ...

Volume 1
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Andrew Louth
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe rich tapestry of the creation narrative in the early chapters of Genesis proved irresistible to the thoughtful, reflective minds of the church fathers. Within them they found the beginning threads from which to weave a theology of creation, Fall, and redemption. Following their mentor the apostle Paul, they explored the profound significance of Adam as a type of Christ, the ...

New Testament Volume 10
Reformation Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Gerald Bray
The gospel of justification by faith alone was discovered afresh by the Reformers in the epistolary turrets of the New Testament: the letters to the Galatians and the Ephesians. At the epicenter of the exegetical revolution that rocked the Reformation era was Paul's letter to the Galatians. There Luther, Calvin, Bullinger and scores of others perceived the true gospel of Paul enlightening a situation ...
PaperbackThe Life and Witness of Peter
by Larry R. Helyer
Who was Peter and what was his true stature in the early church? For Protestants at least, Peter seems caught between two caricatures: the rustic fisherman of Galilee and the author of two lesser New Testament letters. And in both cases he is overshadowed by Paul.
In The Life and Witness of Peter, Larry Helyer seeks to reinstate this neglected and underestimated apostle to his rightful ...
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 ...
