Par Chip Ingram. 2009
A launching pad for your spiritual journey, this inspiring bookprovides clear, specific, and practical guidelines for becoming a Christian who…
lives like Christ.Christians today live in a world that is activity heavy and relationship light. The result is spiritual emptiness. We struggle to know what God wants from us and for us . . . and we’re unsure what a real relationship with God really looks like. But that was never God’s idea. HIS idea of faith is not about rules or religion— it’s about relationship. That’s where God tells us to start. In Romans 12, God gives us a clear picture of what Christians should look like at the root level. If you’re ready to move from “in” to “all in,” then you’re ready to become a Romans 12 Christian. The next steps of your journey toward true spirituality start here.The Meaning of the Bible: What the Jewish Scriptures and Christian Old Testament Can Teach Us
Par Douglas A. Knight, Amy-Jill Levine. 2011
In The Meaning of the Bible: What the Jewish Scriptures and Christian Old Testament Can Teach Us, preeminent biblical scholars…
Douglas A. Knight and Amy-Jill Levine deliver a broad and engaging introduction to the Old Testament—also known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible—offering a wealth of compelling historical background and context for the sacred literature that is at the heart of Judaism and Christianity. John Shelby Spong, author of Re-Claiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World writes, "Levine and Knight have combined to write a book on the Bible that is as academically brilliant as it is marvelously entertaining. By placing our scriptures into their original Jewish context they have opened up startling and profound new insights. This is a terrific book."The Wisdom of Tenderness: What Happens When God's Firece Mercy Transforms Our Lies

Unprotected Texts: The Bible's Surprising Contradictions About Sex and Desire
Par Jennifer Wright Knust. 2011
“An explosive, fascinating book that reveals how the Bible cannot be used as a rulebook when it comes to sex.…
A terrific read by a top scholar.” —Bart Ehrman, author of Misquoting Jesus Boston University’s cutting-edge religion scholar Jennifer Wright Knust reveals the Bible’s contradictory messages about sex in this thoughtful, riveting, and timely reexploration of the letter of the gospels. In the tradition of Bart Erhman’s Jesus Interrupted and John Shelby Spong’s Sins of Scripture, Knust’s Unprotected Texts liberates us from the pervasive moralizing—the fickle dos and don’ts—so often dictated by religious demagogues. Knust’s powerful reading offers a return to the scripture, away from the mere slogans to which it is so often reduced.The Crone: Woman of Age, Wisdom, and Power
Par Barbara G. Walker. 1985
The Day Christ Died
Par Jim Bishop. 2007
"This is a book about the most dramatic day in the history of the world, the day on which Jesus…
of Nazareth died. It opens at 6 P.M.—the beginning of the Hebrew day—with Jesus and ten of the apostles coming through the pass between the Mount of Olives and the Mount of Offense en route to Jerusalem and the Last Supper. It closes at 4 P.M. the following afternoon, when Jesus was taken down from the cross. . . . The fundamental research was done a long time ago by four fine journalists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The rest has been added in bits and pieces from many men whose names span the centuries."—from the ForewordJoel & Malachi: A Promise of Hope (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par Graham S. Ogden. 1987
The book of Joel is one of the Old Testament prophetic books, but it also has a clear and close…
association with lament literature. Graham Ogden takes seriously the book's lament setting, exegeting it entirely from within that framework. In his commentary on the book of Malachi, Richard Deutsch examines the religious, moral, and social aspects of the early postexilic Jewish community that the prophet was addressing in this brief book.Ruth: Surely There is a Future (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par E. John Hamlin. 1996
The book of Ruth, set in the period of the judges, is a beautiful story of the love, covenant loyalty,…
and daring initiative of two impoverished widows. Together with a generous open-hearted man, they demonstrate the truth of Proverbs 23:18 that applies to individuals, families, communities, and nations: "Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off." In this excellent commentary E. John Hamlin approaches the book of Ruth as literature, as history, as part of the canon, and as truth-telling story.Nahum, Obadiah, and Esther: Israel Among the Nations (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par Richard J. Coggins, S P Re'Emi. 1985
This commentary concerns writings which emerged from three successive stages in Judah's decline and captivity — the century of fear…
engendered by the Assyrian menace (addressed in Nahum), the shock and disorientation that followed the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem (Obadiah), and the necessary dilemma of adapting yet maintaining their uniqueness in an alien setting (Esther). All three books reflect the efforts to maintain faith despoite continued assaults on traditional views of the nature of God and the Covenant.Micah: Justice and Loyalty (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par Juan I. Alfaro. 1989
As the most forceful biblical proponent of the ideals of justice, loyalty, and kindness, Micah holds special appeal for those…
who are concerned about the powerlessness of the poor and humble. In this commentary Juan Alfaro examines the prophecies of Micah as they address both the internal and the external crises that faced Judah in the eighth century B.C. Throughout his exposition Alfaro stresses that Micah does not belong to a dead past; rather, Micah's challenging message of judgment and hope calls for change and conversion in our world today.Joshua: Inheriting the Land (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par E. John Hamlin. 1983
In keeping with the international character of the series, E. John Hamlin's commentary on Joshua pays more than usual attention…
to the fulfillment of the third part of God's promise to Abraham, "By you all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves," as well as to the roles played by non-Israelites such as Rahab and the Gibeonites. Hamlin also takes full account of issues such as war and liberation, land distribution and management, and personal fulfillment. Among the important theological insights revealed in this commentary are God's faithfulness to his oppressed people, the importance of land to the covenantal idea, the establishment of a new society based on justice, freedom, and loyalty and secured through covenant teaching and covenant bonding, and kingdom struggles leading to kingdom victory and pointing to God's final victory.Isaiah 1-39: The Lord a Savior (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par Samuel H. Widyapranawa. 1990
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.Series: International Theological Commentary This commentary presents an Indonesian theologian's contemporary interpretation…
of Isaiah 1-39. According to S. H. Widyapranawa, in Isaiah we see the dynamics of faith in a turbulent world and we hear the prophetic admonition to uphold faith in the Lord and to oppose secularism, false prophecies, and sinful cultic practices. Indeed, this teaching from the eighth century B.C. is of paramount importance for the preaching of God's truth and justice in today's world.Habakkuk and Zephaniah: Wrath and Mercy (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par Maria Eszenyei Szeles. 1987
Neither Habakkuk nor Zephaniah is very well known or understood by our generation. These Old Testament prophets, who were contemporary…
with Jeremiah, interpreted events leading up to the total destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian "king of kings and lord of lords," in 597 and 587 B.C. Writing from within a Socialist society, Mária Eszenyei Széles offers a unique perspective on Habakkuk and Zephaniah — a profoundly moving interpretation of the mystery of God's apparent absence or weakness when his own people meet with intolerable suffering at the hands of a cruel totalitarian regime.Proverbs and Ecclesiastes: Who Knows What Is Good? (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par Kathleen Farmer. 1991
The "wise" of ancient Israel were concerned primarily with the nature of goodness and the character of faith: What is…
"good" for humankind, and how should people live their brief lives on earth? Although the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are generally regarded as two distinctly different types of works, Kathleen Farmer demonstrates that they belong together and should be read in light of each other as guides enabling and encouraging us to act in life-enhancing ways that are fully in accord with the teaching of the Lord.Judges: At Risk in the Promised Land (International Theological Commentary (ITC))
Par E. John Hamlin. 1990
This theological treatment of the Book of Judges is fresh, original, imaginative, scholarly, and relevant. In his commentary E. John…
Hamlin pays careful attention to the structure and meaning of the text of Judges, and he elucidates the "risk" that Israel faced in the Promised Land — the risk of living among the "Canaanites," of adopting their ungodly practices and their way of organizing society (the way of death). Hamlin's characterizations of the various liberator judges are particularly thought-provoking. Each chapter concludes with "Perspectives" on the text — reflections on the ancient context of the Judges accounts, insights from the Asian cultures among which Hamlin has lived and worked, and applications to modern situations.The Bible, Book by Book

Par J. W. Wand. 1955
First published in 1955, The Life of Jesus Christ gives a lucid factual account of Christ’s life and examines His…
claim to be the Messiah whose life in time and space can only be understood in the light of the eternal purposes of God. The author writes objectively from the evidence available but reminds us that the authors of the Gospels, which must be the principal sources of information, were writing from a theological point of view and had no intention of stating objective facts without any sort of interpretation. He believes that in studying the life of Christ we need a combination of faith and reason, and that two are not necessarily antagonistic. This book will be of interest to students of religion and history.5 Minutes with Jesus: Making Today Matter
