    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Joseph T. Lienhard

    From its inception the church has always had a Bible—the Jewish Scriptures. But Christians have not read these Scriptures in the same way the Jews did.

    • Being with the "least of these"
    • Being with children

    Faith-Rooted Organizing

    Mobilizing the Church in Service to the World

    by Alexia Salvatierra and Peter Heltzel

    With so many injustices, small and great, across the world and right at our doorstep, what are people of faith to do? Since the 1930s, organizing movements for social justice in the U.S. have largely been built on assumptions that are secular origin—such as reliance on self-interest and having a common enemy as a motivator for change. But what if Christians were to shape their organizing around ...

    Ephesians

    A Commentary on the New Testament

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

    by Walter L. Liefeld

"It provides a perspective that is unique: God's--and the believer's--view from the 'heavenly realms.'"For those who long to delve into the mind and purposes of God, few books are more helpful than Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Here the apostle paints in broad strokes ...

    In Defense of Miracles

    A Comprehensive Case for God's Action in History

    Edited by R. Douglas Geivett and Gary R. Habermas

    Rumors of deception have surrounded claims of Jesus' resurrection ever since the soldiers appointed to guard his tomb made their report to the Jewish authorities. But no one has led the philosophic charge against miracles quite as influentially as David Hume with his 1748 essay "Of Miracles." Refined, revised, restated, his arguments still affect philosophic discussions of miracles today.

    Faith Has Its Reasons

    Integrative Approaches to Defending the Christian Faith

    by Kenneth Boa and Robert M. Bowman Jr.

    Ever since the apostle Paul addressed the Stoic and Epicurean philosophers in Athens, relating the Christian worldview to a non-Christian world has been a challenge. And despite Peter's charge to be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks youto give an account for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15), most Christian laypeople have left apologetics—the defense of the faith—to the ecclesiastical ...
