    The Minor Prophets

    A Theological Introduction

    by Craig G. Bartholomew and Heath A. Thomas

    The good news from the Minor Prophets is that, even in dire times, God speaks.

    The 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 ...

    The early church valued the Gospel of Mark for its preservation of the apostolic voice and gospel narrative of Peter. Yet the early church fathers very rarely produced sustained commentary on Mark. This brisk-paced and robust little Gospel, so much enjoyed by modern readers, was overshadowed in the minds of the fathers by the magisterial ...

    John

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale New Testament Commentaries

    paperback

    Galatians

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale New Testament Commentaries

    by R. Alan Cole

    In Galatians, the apostle Paul makes his most passionate and direct appeal for a gospel free of ethnic or ritual exclusion. Paul's gospel is that of salvation through Christ alone--in him there is "neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." By placing Paul's discussion firmly within its historical context, R. Alan Cole illuminates the potency and ...

    paperback

    Reframing Paul

    Conversations in Grace Community

    by Mark Strom

    The Greco-Roman world was shaped by ideals and abstract ideas. The Apostle Paul left them behind. But they continue to shape evangelical teaching and practice. This picture contradicts the common impression of Paul as an abstract theologian, someone who wrestled with deep theological doctrine while hovering six feet above everyday reality. But in fact, it was the philosopher's of Paul's day--and ...
