Par Jeremy R. Treat, Michael Horton. 2014
The kingdom of God and the atonement are two of the most important themes in all of Scripture. Tragically, theologians…
have often either set the two at odds or focused on one to the complete neglect of the other. In The Crucified King, Jeremy Treat demonstrates that Scripture presents a mutually enriching relationship between the kingdom and atonement that draws significantly from the story of Israel and culminates in the crucifixion of Christ the king. As Israel’s messiah, he holds together the kingdom and the cross by bringing God’s reign on earth through his atoning death. The kingdom is the ultimate goal of the cross, and the cross is the means by which the kingdom comes. Jesus’ death is not the failure of his messianic ministry, nor simply the prelude to his royal glory, but is the apex of his kingdom mission. The cross is the throne from which he rules and establishes his kingdom. Using a holistic approach that brings together the insights of biblical and systematic theology, this book demonstrates not only that the kingdom and the cross are inseparable, but how they are integrated in Scripture and theology.Par Elisabeth M. Cook. 2024
Offering a reading of the intermarriage debate and expulsion of the foreign women in Ezra 9-10, this book engages with…
the production and performance of masculinities in this biblical text, shifting the focus away from the 'foreign women' to the men who are the primary actors in this work. This approach addresses the diversity of masculinities and the ways in which they are implicated in the production of power relations in the text. It explores the ‘feminized’ masculinity of the peoples-of-the-lands, the unstable masculinity of the golah, Ezra’s performance of penitential masculinity, and the rehabilitation of divine masculinity. The rejection of the marriages and the call for the expulsion of the women and children are addressed as sites on which masculinities and power relations are configured. In doing so, this book sheds light on how women and the traits and performances culturally ascribed to women, femininity and inferior masculinities, are appropriated to produce masculinities and negotiate power relations between men. It posits that the debate in Ezra 9-10 is not, ultimately, about the women themselves, but about bringing the masculinities, bodies and practices of dissenting men under the ‘management’ of those who wield the Torah in the narrative world of the text. Men, Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra-9-10 is of interest for scholars and students working on the Book of Ezra specifically, as well as the Hebrew Bible and its world more broadly. It is also a valuable study for those working on masculinities and gender in the biblical world and ancient Near East.Par Sandra L. Glahn. 2023
Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for…
delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis. Based on groundbreaking research and new data about Artemis of the Ephesians, Nobody's Mother demonstrates how better background information supports faithful interpretation. Combining spiritual autobiography with scholarly exploration, Glahn takes readers on a journey to ancient Ephesus and across early church history. Unveiling the cult of Artemis and how early Christians related to it can give us a clearer sense of the type of radical, countercultural fellowship the New Testament writers intended Christ's church to be. This book is for those who want to avoid sacrificing a high view of Scripture while working to reconcile conflicting models of God's view of women. Through the unexpected channel of Paul's advice to Timothy—and the surprising help of an ancient Greek myth—Nobody's Mother lays a biblical foundation for men and women serving side by side in the church.Par Janet Kellogg Ray. 2023
How to hold true to your faith and embrace modern scienceEver since the Scopes Monkey Trial in the early twentieth…
century, American evangelicals have considered scientists public enemy #1. But this antipathy to modern science turned deadly during the COVID-19 crisis, when white evangelicals snubbed precautions and vaccines. Herself an evangelical Christian and a science educator, Janet Kellogg Ray explains how we got here and how to fix it.As the follow-up to Baby Dinosaurs on the Ark?, this lively volume covers evolution as well as the coronavirus pandemic, vaccines, climate change, and the frontiers of genetic research. Ray explains the facts accessibly and with verve. Along the way, she vividly narrates the scientific achievements—and political and religious drama—that got us to where we are today.Ultimately, Ray calls for evangelicals to speak to science, rather than deny it. We need Christian ethics now more than ever to determine how best to act in light of current scientific data and for love of neighbor. If you&’re afraid of science hurting your faith, this book will show you how to be true to both.Par Zondervan. 2023

The rapture is the central event in biblical prophecy. But what does it mean for us today? How can this…
crucial end times event draw us nearer to God in a world that is seemingly on the brink of chaos? Political turmoil, economic uncertainty, an ideological divide that feels increasingly impassable—the signs of the times point us toward the end, and that can be disconcerting.But the greatest truth about the rapture is not its timing, but its reality—for blessed are all who long for His appearing.The Great Disappearance is a culmination of decades of Dr. Jeremiah studying end times throughout the Bible. In this definitive volume he will explain the meaning of the word rapture, the difference between the rapture and the second coming, and the joy of expecting our Savior to come at any given moment. Dr. Jeremiah will also explore key questions such as:Who will be raptured?When will it happen?What will happen to those left behind?What will believers experience when they are taken away to heaven?Will non-believers still have time to repent and be saved? Dr. Jeremiah seeks to answer all of those questions and many more, not with sensationalism or stories ripped from the headlines but with solid, biblical truth. Because God has laid out His plan for us in His Word so that we might not be caught unaware. We may not know the exact date that the rapture will happen, but we do know it will happen. Are you ready for it?Par Albert L. Lukaszewski, Richard J. Goodrich. 2015

“Brilliant . . . Essential reading for anyone who cares about Church history and gender equality. . . . speaks to our times with impressive relevance.”…
—Reading in TranslationFrom one of Italy’s most renowned historians of religion, an exciting new portrait of one of Christianity’s most complex—and most misunderstood—figures: Mary MagdaleneJesus’ favorite and most devoted disciple? A prostitute shunned from her community? A symbol of female leadership and independence? Who really was Mary Magdalene, and how does her story fit within the history of Christianity, and that of female emancipation?In this meticulously researched, highly engaging book, Adriana Valerio looks at history, art, and literature to show how centuries of misinterpretation and willful distortion—aimed at establishing and preserving gender hierarchies—have stripped this historical figure of her complexity and relevance.By revealing both the benign and the pernicious misrepresentations of Mary Magdalene, this thought-provoking essay reaffirms the central role played by women in the origins of Christianity and their essential contribution to one of the founding experiences of Western thought and society.“Persuasive. . . . Academics working in Christianity should get much from this well-argued study.” —Publishers Weekly“A masterful work.” —Osservatore Romano“A short and readable yet sweeping and well-researched essay that stands out for its intellectual honesty [ . . . ] We are all Mary Magdalene.” —Cultura al femminilePar John Goldingay. 2014
What Proverbs meant to its original audience—and what it means to Christians today.On one hand, Proverbs is perfectly straightforward—a collection…
of short statements on how to live wisely and well. On the other, the advice of Proverbs, written millennia ago, can seem disconnected from the realities of life today.John Goldingay&’s fresh commentary untangles Proverbs with an eye toward Christian formation. Examining the text in English, Goldingay explains each verse in its original context without getting bogged down in technical detail. The commentary centers theological insights beneficial to preaching and pastoral work.The wisdom of Proverbs can&’t be reduced to platitudes. It requires something of the reader: thought, reflection, and openness to the Lord. The Commentaries for Christian Formation Proverbs guides us in the journey of faith seeking understanding.Par Albert L. Lukaszewski, Richard J. Goodrich. 2015

A groundbreaking reinterpretation of early Judaism, during the millennium before the study of the Bible took center stageEarly Judaism is…
often described as the religion of the book par excellence—a movement built around the study of the Bible and steeped in a culture of sacred bookishness that evolved from an unrelenting focus on a canonical text. But in The Closed Book, Rebecca Scharbach Wollenberg argues that Jews didn’t truly embrace the biblical text until nearly a thousand years after the Bible was first canonized. She tells the story of the intervening centuries during which even rabbis seldom opened a Bible and many rabbinic authorities remained deeply ambivalent about the biblical text as a source of sacred knowledge.Wollenberg shows that, in place of the biblical text, early Jewish thinkers embraced a form of biblical revelation that has now largely disappeared from practice. Somewhere between the fixed transcripts of the biblical Written Torah and the fluid traditions of the rabbinic Oral Torah, a third category of revelation was imagined by these rabbinic thinkers. In this “third Torah,” memorized spoken formulas of the biblical tradition came to be envisioned as a distinct version of the biblical revelation. And it was believed that this living tradition of recitation passed down by human mouths, unbound by the limitations of written text, provided a fuller and more authentic witness to the scriptural revelation at Sinai. In this way, early rabbinic authorities were able to leverage the idea of biblical revelation while quarantining the biblical text itself from communal life.The result is a revealing reinterpretation of “the people of the book” before they became people of the book.Par Carol M. Kaminski. 2023

Todos los Días son Días de Tomar un Buen Café Con Salmos Vivimos en un mundo caótico. La desorganización y…
el conflicto son elementos visibles en todos lados. No sé si lo que voy a escribir más adelante les sirve de consuelo, pero la realidad es que el mundo es así desde ese fatídico día en que Adán comió el fruto prohibido. Partiendo de esta verdad es más fácil de entender porque tantas personas son consoladas al leer las Escrituras Sagradas. Este maravilloso libro - la Biblia - fue escrito por hombres completamente inspirados por Dios, pero que experimentan un sinnúmero de problemas de esa vida terrena. Se trata de un manual de la vida escrito por pecadores y para pecadores, pero inspirado por el Espíritu Santo. Es por ese motivo que tenemos, por ejemplo, un libro tan fascinante como los Salmos. Esta obra maestra trae capítulos que retratan desde el dolor más profundo del alma hasta la alegría plena de la salvación. El Señor permitió que los salmistas expresaran en palabras todo el dolor que el alma humana es capaz de soportar y, a la vez, la esperanza que solo tienen quienes conocen al Creador del universo. Son páginas y más páginas llenas de sentimiento, fe, humillación, reflexión, alabanza y amor a Dios. Es justamente basado en ese libro bíblico poético que la obra Café Con Salmos fue proyectada. En las siguientes páginas encontrarás 30 capítulos representando los 30 días de un mes. Cada capítulo contiene un versículo para meditación, una reflexión escrita por el autor y una oración. Utilice cada capítulo como una reflexión devocional para su edificación espiritual. Deje que el Espíritu Santo lo (a) guíe por reflexiones mucho más profundas de las que los próximos párrafos serán capaces de despertar. Recuerda: la Palabra del Señor jamás vuelve vacía. Lo mismo pasa a mi palabra: yo [el Señor] la envío, y ella siempre produce frutos. Ella hará loPar Sarah Ruden. 2021
An &“electrifying [and] compulsively readable&” new translation of the Gospels, destined to become a definitive edition of these canonical texts, from &“one…
of our greatest living translators&” (The Christian Science Monitor)&“For anyone wanting to read the Gospels anew . . . a welcome and challenging companion.&”—The New YorkerNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLYSince nearly two millennia ago, the first four books of the New Testament have been formative texts for the modern world. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John tell of the life and ministry of Jesus. These four separate versions of the same story show complex origins, intricate interweavings, and inherent contradictions. Faithfully pointing the reader back to the original Greek, this masterful new translation from the renowned scholar and acclaimed translator Sarah Ruden is the first to reconsider the Gospels as books to be read and understood on their own terms: grounded in contemporary languages, literatures, and cultures, full of their own particular drama, humor, and reasoning, and free from later superimposed ideologies. The result is a striking and persuasive reappraisal of the accounts of these four authors, and presents a new appreciation of the ancient world as the foundation of our modern one. This robust and eminently readable translation is a welcoming ground on which a variety of readers can meet, and a resource for new debate, discussion, and inspiration for years to come.Par Ken Ham, Bodie Hodge. 2011
