    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Andreas J. Köstenberger
    With T. Desmond Alexander
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The cosmopolitan city of Corinth was the site of one of the apostle Paul's greatest evangelistic successes.

    What's the point of the church anyway?

    The emerging generation is opting out of the church in large numbers. They're embarrassed at how the church is portrayed in the media and dismayed at what appears to be their options for participation. Is church really necessary anymore in our day? Is it even possible?

    The Revelation to John

    A Commentary on the Greek Text of the Apocalypse

    by Stephen S. Smalley

    The Revelation to John by Stephen Smalley is a magisterial interpretation of John's Apocalypse as a grand drama, which can only be properly understood in light of John's Gospel and letters and in the context of the Johannine community. Assuch, it offers the reader a significantly different approach to this enigmatic text than that offered by most contemporary commentaries. Working directly ...

    The Events & Ideas That Shaped the New Testament World

    Turning the page from Malachi to Matthew, we skip a lot of history.

    In fact, it is something like missing several key episodes in an ongoing television saga. The setting and main plot line are familiar, but new characters have appeared andmore recent events and developments are assumed.

    Did anyone record the episodes we missed?

    Fortunately a few did. Their reception wasn't always ...

    We are in a season of church meltdown.

    The apostle John—the beloved disciple and the author of the Gospel by the same name—wrote letters to churches caught in a turbulent season of leadership failures, divisions over interpretation and practice, church splits, and even a powerful leader stirring up dissent. Sound familiar? It seems as though the church is melting under an ...
