Dear Colleagues: Welcome to Crossway’s 2012 catalog of academic and pastoral resources. We trust that in these pages you will find a number of books to serve your ministry needs, in the classroom and in the church. Carrying on Crossway’s tradition of offering innovative books within the historic stream of orthodoxy, we have added several new textbooks in systematic theology, including Gerald Bray’s God Is Love: A Biblical and Systematic Theology (p. 11); K. Scott Oliphint’s God with Us: Divine Condescension and the Attributes of God (p. 10); and Robert Peterson’s Salvation Accomplished by the Son: The Work of Christ (p. 9), which John Frame says is now the first book (after Scripture) to which he would turn for any question about Jesus’s incarnation, atonement, or resurrection. Those interested in the intersection of history and theology will want to explore Michael Kruger’s Canon Revisited: Establishing the Origins and Authority of the New Testament Books (p. 3) and the collection of essays edited by James Hoffmeier and Dennis Magary, Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith? A Critical Appraisal of Modern and Postmodern Approaches to Scripture (p. 7). Both students and teachers will be helped by Andreas Köstenberger’s Excellence: The Character of God and the Pursuit of Scholarly Virtue (p. 13). And those in church ministry will be especially interested in The Gospel as Center: Renewing Our Faith and Reforming Our Ministry Practices (p. 4), essays edited by D. A. Carson and Tim Keller. In our desire to encourage a return to the study of the original languages of Scripture, Crossway is now offering the UBS Greek New Testament Reader’s Edition with Textual Notes in genuine leather and top-grain leather, as well as a Hebrew–English Old Testament, with the BHS and the ESV on facing pages (p. 41). See also pp. 38-39 for ESV GreekTools, an online application at a very affordable price. Many other resources could be highlighted, but instead I will simply encourage you to peruse the pages that follow! My colleagues and I look forward to seeing you at the ETS and SBL annual meetings in San Francisco in November. Be sure to visit our exhibits at each event!

Understanding the Times

New Testament Studies in the 21st Century: Essays in Honor of D. A. Carson on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday First Chronicles speaks of the men of Issachar “who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.” Our rapidly changing postmodern culture needs men who understand the times and know what ought to be done. D. A. Carson is such a man. Renowned as a gifted speaker, writer, theologian, and pastor, Carson has written extensively and persuasively on a wide range of topics and has been a defender of the modern evangelical faith. In appreciation of Carson’s life work, editors Andreas J. Köstenberger and Robert W. Yarbrough have assembled a team of contributors, including Stanley Porter, Grant Osborne, Mark Dever, John Woodbridge, Douglas Moo, Peter O’Brien, Eckhard Schnabel, Craig Blomberg, and David Pao, to produce this volume of essays on New Testament studies in modern times. The book is divided into three parts: New Testament Studies and Ancillary Disciplines, Special Topics in New Testament Studies, and New Testament Studies around the World. Pastors, professors, and students will benefit not only from the example of a man who understands the times, but also from the high quality of scholarship and wide variety of topics covered in this volume.

informative surveys of developments in New Testament studies in Africa and Asia, as well as in North America and Europe. This solid volume thus offers not only a worthy tribute to its honoree but also valuable assessments of the state of New Testament scholarship worldwide.”

I. HOWARD MARSHALL, Professor Emeritus, University of Aberdeen, Scotland “ This lively book of essays represents a fitting tribute to the life of Don Carson, one of the liveliest and most learned biblical scholars of our time. It will only suit its honoree, however, if it leads its varied readers to the Scriptures he has studied for so long, increasing devotion and fidelity to the gospel they proclaim. I pray that God will make this so for Jesus’ sake.”

DOUGLAS A. SWEENEY, Associate Professor of Church History, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “ This is a remarkable series of studies in honor of a remarkable man. Carson’s influence has been extraordinary, and this book explores a number of his particular interests with great skill.”

LELAND RYKEN

The ESV and the English Bible Legacy Leland Ryken, an expert on the literature of the Bible, has written extensively on the subject of Bible translation philosophy. Using the English Standard Version as well as other translations to illustrate various aspects of essentially literal Bible translation, he brings clarity to questions of how modern Bible translations should be viewed in their historical context. This book focuses on the qualities of the English Standard Version of the Bible as it has been growing in influence since it was first published in 2001. Given the continuous crosswinds of Bible translation controversies, it is necessary to explain and defend not just a translation philosophy but to delineate the nature of the ESV Bible. 5.5 × 8.5, Paperback, 192 pages, 978-1-4335-3066-1 $14.99, Available November 30, 2011 CONTENTS Preface Part 1: The Classic Mainstream of English Bible Translation 1.

modern translations known as dynamic equivalent translations. Implicit in his approach is the premise that part of the strength of the ESV is the greatness of the tradition to which it belongs. Tracing the history of English Bible translation from William Tyndale to the King James Bible while outlining important distinctions, Ryken concludes that essentially literal Bible translations best adhere to the legacy of classic English Bible translation. He contends that the English Standard Version is a true heir of this classical stream and concludes with an argument on why the ESV can serve as the translation of choice for Christians in all walks of life.

Ryken begins by describing what is termed the classic mainstream of English Bible translation. Then he shows how the ESV perpetuates that tradition, in contrast to the branch of FROM CHAPTER 1: “ The great tradition begins not with William Tyndale but a century and a half earlier with John Wycliffe (“morning star of the Reformation,” as he is called). Wycliffe’s translation is more accurately called the Wycliffite translation, because it was chiefly the work of Wycliffe’s associates rather than Wycliffe himself. Additionally, it is important to know that the Wycliffite translators actually produced two versions of the Bible: one a literal translation from the Latin Vulgate and a second translation that had more of an eye on the English receptor language than on Latin, which in this case was the donor language. The complete Bible appeared around 1380. “ It might seem unnecessary to push the great tradition back to Wycliffe. For one thing, Wycliffe’s language was Middle English—the language of Chaucer but not what is called modern language (the language of Tyndale and Shakespeare, despite its archaisms by the standard of modern usage).

Second, there were no printed versions of the Wycliffite Bible until the middle of the nineteenth century. This means that all versions in Wycliffe’s lifetime were handwritten manuscript copies, disseminated partly by oral readings conducted by traveling preachers known as Lollards. “ But there are other factors that make it necessary to trace the great tradition back to Wycliffe. The foundation of the tradition was simply the demonstration that the Bible could be translated into English. To cite a parallel, modern jet travel would never have happened if the Wright brothers had not flown a rudimentary aircraft at Kitty Hawk in 1903. A historian of English Bible translation correctly asserts that “the Wycliffe Bible was . . . not merely a book but an event, . . . [marking] a momentous epoch in our religious development.”

MICHAEL J. KRUGER

Canon Revisited

Establishing the Origins and Authority of the New Testament Books Given the popular-level conversations on phenomena like the Gospel of Thomas and Bart Ehrman’s Misquoting Jesus, as well as the current lack of resources in evangelical scholarship on the origins of the New Testament, Michael Kruger’s Canon Revisited meets a significant need for an up-to-date work on canon by addressing recent developments in the field. Kruger presents an academically rigorous yet accessible study of the New Testament canon that looks deeper than the traditional surveys of councils and creeds, mining the text itself for direction in understanding what the original authors and audiences believed the canon to be.

and read by pastors and educated lay leaders alike. In contrast to prior volumes on canon, this volume distinguishes itself by placing a substantial focus on the theology of canon as the context within which the historical evidence is evaluated and assessed. Rather than simply discussing the history of canon—rehashing the Patristic data yet again—Kruger develops a strong theological framework for affirming and authenticating the canon as authoritative. This work successfully unites both the theology and the historical development of the canon, ultimately serving as a practical defense for the authority of the New Testament books.

Canon Revisited provides an evangelical introduction to the New Testament canon that can be used in seminary and college classrooms,

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ The problem of canon (at least as we are using it here) refers to the fundamental question of how we, as Christians, can know that we have the right 27 books in our New Testament. Why not 26 books? Or 28? Of course, such a question would not be asked if the New Testament were like most other books, formed (more or less) all at the same time, in the same place, by a single author. Instead, within the boundaries of the New Testament we are faced with a rather complex array of different books, authors, geographical settings, theological perspectives, and historical contexts that are all brought together into one unified volume. What do all these books share in common? And what was the process by which they were brought together? And why should the results of that process be considered normative for the modern church? Moreover, what are we to make of disputes within the early church over some of these books? What of the abundance of apocryphal literature that has been discovered? And what would we do if we discovered, say, a lost epistle of Paul? When faced with this plethora of questions we are tempted to agree with Ernest Best when he declared, ‘No matter where we look there are problems and it may therefore be simpler

at this stage to cut our losses and simply dispense with the concept of canon.’ “ However, despite these problems, these many questions deserve (and require) an answer from biblical Christianity. For, if Christians cannot adequately answer these questions about the canonical boundaries of the New Testament, then on what grounds could they ever appeal to the content of the New Testament? Certainly, there can be no New Testament theology if there is no such thing as a ‘New Testament’ in the first place. Thus, questions about the canon can take on more foundational significance than other types of questions. It is one thing for a person to question the meaning of a given passage (and whether it says what we think it says), or to question whether a particular passage is historically or factually accurate, but it is quite another to question whether that passage belongs in the Bible in the first place. The question of the canon, therefore, is at the very center of how biblical authority is established. Unless a coherent response can be offered to such questions, then Strauss may be all too right—the canon issue could become the single thread that unravels the entire garment of the Christian faith.”

The Gospel as Center

Renewing Our Faith and Reforming Our Ministry Practices [Series: The Gospel Coalition] The relativistic mindset of our world is taking its toll on the church. Up until a generation ago, most adults had similar moral intuitions, whether they were believers or not, and the core of Protestant orthodoxy was still intact. Yet, in the wake of postmodernity and secularism, all that has changed. Convinced that gospel-centered ministry is imperative for such a time as this, contributors D. A. Carson, Tim Keller, Kevin DeYoung, Philip Ryken, Bryan Chapell, Thabiti Anyabwile, Richard Phillips, Sam Storms, and others defend the gospel and traditional doctrines.

To strengthen the center of confessional evangelicalism, this volume collects the 14 booklets in the Gospel Coalition Booklet series. In addition, this volume includes a preface, the Gospel Coalition’s foundational documents, and indexes. The editors and contributors represent a wide range of denominations and are united not only by belief in the biblical gospel, but also by the conviction that ministry today must be increasingly gospel centered.

“ In the past, many of our neighbors could understand traditional evangelical preaching and ministry, but they met it with disagreement or indifference. During the last fifteen years, people have increasingly met it with completely dumbfounded incomprehension or outrage. The American evangelical world has been breaking apart with wildly different responses to this new cultural situation. To oversimplify, some have simply built the fortress walls higher, merely continuing to do what they have always done, only more defiantly than before. Others have called for a complete doctrinal reengineering of evangelicalism. We think both of these approaches are wrong-headed and, worse, damaging to the cause of the gospel.

“ In our understanding, it is a great mistake to jettison expository preaching in this way. But in some quarters, the response goes something like this: ‘Because postmodern people don’t like our kind of preaching, we are going to give them more of it than ever.’ They are unwilling to admit that much conventional use of the expository method has tended to be pretty abstract, quite wooden, and not related to life. It is also true that many traditional expository preachers like the ‘neatness’ of preaching through the Epistles instead of the vivid visions and narratives of the Old Testament. But most importantly, expository preaching fails if it does not tie every text, even the most discursive, into the great story of the gospel and mission of Jesus Christ.”

“ Here is one example. Over the last few years there has been a major push to abandon expository preaching for what is loosely called ‘narrative’ preaching. The diagnosis goes something like this: “ These are postmodern times, marked by the collapse of confidence in the Enlightenment project and a rational certainty about ‘truth.’ So now hearers are more intuitive than logical; they are reached more through images and stories than through propositions and principles. They are also allergic to authoritarian declarations. We must adapt to the less rational, nonauthoritarian, narrative-hungry sensibilities of our time. D. A.

The Pastor as Scholar and the Scholar as Pastor Reflections on Life and Ministry

Following the 2009 Gospel Coalition confer ence, John Piper and D. A. Carson presented two talks at Park Community Church in Chicago, Illinois, sponsored by the Henry Institute at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. The topic of their presentation was the relationship between scholarship and pastoral ministry. Piper centered on the importance of scholarship and academic pursuits in his role as pastor. Carson, conversely, focused on the importance of pastoral ministry in his career as scholar. The event was enthusiastically received and brought great insight and balance. Now their talks have been edited with additional content and put into book form. Weaving together testimony and teaching, Piper and Carson challenge all those in ministry to think carefully and holistically about their calling. An introduction by Owen Strachan and a conclusion by David Mathis provide context and application to these unique messages. This book provides a valuable insider perspective from two men who have been acclaimed for their sharp thinking and pastoral hearts. “ Few books are so needed as this. Recapturing the vision of the pastor as scholar and the scholar as pastor is crucial for the health of the church. Who would not want to read John Piper and D. A. Carson as they reflect on this calling? This is one of the most encouraging and helpful books I have seen in a long time. If you are a pastor, read it. If you have a pastor, put it in his hands.”

R. ALBERT MOHLER JR., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“ Who could count how many of us have had our lives changed by the ministries of John Piper and D. A. Carson? How many more have come to Christ or have been discipled in the Gospel by pastors and teachers influenced by these leaders. This book is a riveting breed, granting us a candid, personal, and behind-the-scenes look at what the Lord has used to shape these ministries. As you read this book, pray that the Lord Jesus would raise up, even now the next generation of pastor-theologians and theologian-pastors to carry on the great work of Christ-exaltation and Kingdom-mission.”

RUSSELL D. MOORE, Dean, School of Theology; Senior Vice President for Academic Administration; Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “ These are important chapters by two of evangelicalism’s most important thinkers. In an age that has largely forgotten the native connection between theology and the church, John Piper and D. A. Carson remind us that these two worlds belong together. There can be, of course, no turning back the clock; the modern research university is here to stay. But Piper and Carson offer us two good examples of how to navigate the contemporary terrain with a view to producing ecclesial theology—theology in service to the church. This short book is a great beginning to a conversation that has been long overdue.”

C. JOHN COLLINS

Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? Who They Were and Why You Should Care Examining the biblical story line as the worldview story of the people of God, Collins shows how that story presupposes a real Adam and Eve and how the modern experience of life points to the same conclusion. Collins argues that the traditional position on Adam and Eve, or some variation of it, does the best job of accounting not only for the biblical materials but also for our everyday experience as human beings—an experience that includes sin as something that must be forgiven (by God and our fellow human beings) and that must be struggled against as defiling and disrupting a good, human life.

Human Uniqueness and Dignity 4a. The Image of God 4b. Universal Human Experiences: Yearning for Justice, Need for God

Looking first at the shape of the biblical story—from creation to fall to redemption to final consummation—and the worldview that rides on that story, one sees whether a historical Adam and Eve and a historical fall are necessary assumptions. Second, Collins examines the main biblical and Second Temple Jewish texts that deal with the topic to find out whether they really do support the traditional position. Third, he considers the biblical view of human uniqueness and dignity, and relates these to everyday moral and religious experience, asking whether these too are evidence for the traditional position. Applying well-informed critical thinking to common theological and scientific questions, Collins asserts the importance of a real man at the beginning of God’s plan for creation, a plan that includes “redemption” for all people since sin entered the world. Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? also contains extensive appendices to examine how the material in Genesis relates to similar material from Mesopotamian myths. Collins’s detailed analysis of the relevant texts will instill confidence that the traditional Christian story equips us better than any alternatives to engage the issues we encounter in the modern world.

“ Dr. Collins has presented a careful defense of the existence of the historical Adam and Eve. This methodologically rigorous study reflects a critical awareness of contemporary discussions on both biblical and extrabiblical literature and further contributes to the wider discussion on science and religion. Perhaps more importantly, he has successfully demonstrated the theological significance of this traditional reading, all the while using language that an informed layperson can digest and engage. This work deserves to be widely circulated.”

DAVID W. PAO, Chair of the New Testament Department, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “ Working through questions of myth and history, Bible and science, harmonization and complementarity, Collins brings fresh arguments to stimulate wide-ranging thought and improved appreciation of the way the first chapters of the Bible affect the whole.”

ALAN MILLARD, Emeritus Rankin Professor of Hebrew and Ancient Semitic Languages, The University of Liverpool “ I could hardly imagine a more honest book on this controversial topic. Its openness (in a userfriendly format) is no naivety—it is combined with undeniable competence on the ancient Near East, recent literature, and methodological discussions. Standing firm on vital issues, accepting diversity on others, the reader meets in C. John Collins a sensitive and godly guide.”

Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith?

A Critical Appraisal of Modern and Postmodern Approaches to Scripture [Foreword by John D. Woodbridge] During the past thirty years, biblical and theological scholarship has had to cope with many serious challenges to orthodox and evangelical understandings of Scripture. In addition to the enlightenment positivist readings of the Bible (which continue with us after over two centuries), we can now add postmodern literary approaches that treat the biblical narratives purely as literature, asserting that they should be read as fiction. One of the consequences of this development has been the minimalist-maximalist historiography debate. The generally skeptical mood toward much of the history of the Bible (e.g., the Genesis ancestors of ancient Israel, the Egyptian sojourn, the exodus, the wilderness wanderings, the conquest of Canaan, and the united monarchy) has naturally taken its toll on the academic study of Israelite religion, Old Testament theology, and biblical theology as these disciplines are intimately connected to history.

This book addresses questions about the historicity, accuracy, and inerrancy of the Bible raised by colleagues within our faith community as well as those who are outside of it. Special emphasis is placed on matters of history and historicity of biblical narratives in both the Old and New Testaments. Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith? offers a firm defense of Scripture’s legitimacy and the theological implications of modern and postmodern approaches that teach otherwise. With contributions from respected scholars— including Allan Millard, Craig Blomberg, Graham Cole, Michael Haykin, Robert Yarbrough, and Darrell Bock—Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith? arms Christians with fresh insight, arguments, and language with which to defend Scripture’s historical accuracy against a culture and academy skeptical of those claims.

“ To start, we consider the question why history matters. And the history in mind is biblical history (e.g., the call of Abraham, the exodus, the incarnation and resurrection, and so forth). Next, we

1. Religious Epistemology, Theological Interpretation of Scripture, and Critical Biblical Scholarship: A Theologian’s Reflections (McCall) consider the peril of doing systematic theology in a way that forgets the great deed at the center of the gospel. Even so, the value of systematic theology must not be neglected in reaction. Systematic theology has great value as a discipline. It asks normative questions. However, systematic theology needs to stay tethered to the historicity of biblically narrated events, lest it drift off to an alien place. The historically given account needs full appreciation. Then we consider the idea of accommodation. The idea of accommodation (as in Calvin) as opposed to that of the accommodated sense (as in Kenton Sparks) helps preserve that appreciation. Finally, before drawing the discussion to a close, we look at the relation between systematic theology, history, and our worship.”

CONTENTS (PARTIAL) Part 1: Biblical, Systematic, and Historical Theology

FROM CHAPTER 2: “ ‘History’ as a term is, of course, ambiguous. It may refer to what actually happened (words spoken, deeds done, circumstances leading up to, consequences arising from). Or it may refer to our account of what actually happened (an interpretation of words spoken, deeds done, circumstances leading up to, consequences arising from). In this essay, ‘history’ refers to the former rather than the latter. As for that strange term ‘historyless,’ I stipulatively mean theological articulations of the Christian faith that are more interested in the ideas of the faith than the events that I believe are at its core.

The biblical teaching about the deity of Christ is a precious truth and foundational to the Christian faith. It has been called “the most distinctively Christian doctrine of all”—one that must be taught and preserved.

Jesus is indeed the God-man. Read this book for your mind as well as for your soul. Both will be blessed.”

With this in mind, Robert Peterson, Christopher Morgan, Andreas Köstenberger, Steve Wellum, Gerald Bray, Alan Gomes, Ray Ortlund, Stephen Nichols, and J. Nelson Jennings have collaborated to develop a theology of Christ’s divinity across multiple disciplines. Combining first-rate evangelical scholarship with rich application, their work examines this central doctrine from contemporary, historical, biblical, systematic, apologetic, and missional perspectives.

“ Morgan and Peterson are to be commended for putting together another outstanding volume for Crossway’s Theology in Community series. The editors have assembled a first-rate group of authors to produce this highly commendable work. The subject of the deity of Christ is carefully explored and clearly expounded from the perspectives of biblical, historical, and systematic theology. Important and timely applications for apologetics and missiology are also appropriately included. The deity of Christ is an essential doctrine of the Christian faith, and The Deity of Christ should be essential reading for faithful followers of Jesus Christ.”

This accessible volume—the third in the noted Theology in Community series—establishes the significance of Christ’s deity across the Old and New Testaments, in Johannine literature, in popular culture, in church history, and among cults and world religions. With keen theological insight and straightforward application, this volume provides a clear and useful treatment of the deity of Christ. “ This is a well-crafted, faithfully biblical, meticulously worked-out study of the deity of Christ that brings us from the Old Testament through the New Testament and into the modern world. This is a superb study.”

DAVID F. WELLS, Distinguished Senior Research Professor, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary “ Eight outstanding scholars make a compelling case biblically, theologically, and historically for the deity of Jesus. If he is God incarnate, then Christianity is true. If he is not, then the Christian faith is false. Powerful arguments are marshaled, and convincing evidence is set forth in this volume that demonstrates that

“ More than a collection of academic essays, this book pulsates with the life of Jesus—evident in the passion of the writers and the life change he has produced in each of them. Affirming the deity of Jesus is not, ultimately, about winning arguments with detractors or proving points to the academy; it is about encountering Jesus! Reading these essays will challenge you intellectually and enrich you spiritually, deepening both your understanding of Jesus and submission to him as Lord.”

Salvation Accomplished by the Son The Work of Christ

The ongoing debates regarding the significance of Christ’s death, as well as the strong emphasis on the cross as the symbol of the Christian faith, attests to the reality that the most recognized aspect of Christ’s work has become his death. Recognizing that other major events and works in Jesus’s life are substantially relevant to the Christian life, Robert Peterson draws attention to Jesus’s incarnation, sinless life, death, resurrection, and ascension. Salvation Accomplished by the Son aims to glorify Christ by presenting the saving work of Jesus in greater scope than has previously been done, and to encourage Christians to worship and serve him. This book explains in detail what Christ has done to rescue us, both his deeds and the biblical pictures illustrating them. The result is a substantive, significant, and enduring treatise on the key Christian doctrine of the work of Christ. In this unique volume, Peterson presents the biblical doctrine of Christ’s saving work in a fresh and comprehensive way. Among the book’s distinctive attributes is Peterson’s ability to explain the relationship between text and doctrine, to uncover connections that have

eluded many others, and to organize the material in a way that makes it clear to seminarians and pastors and accessible to the layman. “ Peterson conducts a full-orbed tour of christology, particularly highlighting the often neglected role of Christ’s resurrection in our salvation. Peterson writes with a pastor’s heart, as is evident in the biblical fidelity and remarkable clarity that marks this work.”

THOMAS R. SCHREINER, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “ Robert Peterson has produced a comprehensive study of Christ’s saving work that puts the cross at the center, but also shows how it is part of a wider plan. He shows how the atonement must be seen in the context of Christ’s whole life and ministry without compromising the essential truth of his penal substitutionary sacrifice for us. This is a refreshing and insightful study, which is much needed at the present time and deserves to be widely read.”

Divinity, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University

1. Christ’s Incarnation 2. Christ’s Sinless life

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ But, bypassing all these, Christians chose Christ’s cross as their emblem. On the one hand, this is amazing because the cross spoke of crucifixion which was regarded with horror in the ancient world. It is probably the most vicious method of execution because it delayed death, sometimes for days, to maximize torture. On the other hand, in light of Paul’s sentiment, ‘But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (Gal. 6:14), they chose well. Why? Because the cross describes where the work of salvation was accomplished. This book is all about that work. Actually, I will soon argue that Christians would have better chosen the cross and the stone rolled from Jesus’s tomb! But believers did choose the cross as their symbol and for good reasons.

3. Christ’s Death “ Christ’s saving work is profound, massive, and magnificent. It is profound because of the identity of the one who performed it. The mystery of the incarnation of the Son of God lends its mystery to his saving work. Christ’s work is also massive, so massive that not even a big book can exhaust its meaning. And it is magnificent because of its wondrous effects. These include pleasing God himself, defeating God’s enemies, and rescuing all of God’s people and the creation itself. My goals are to show something of the profundity, massiveness, and magnificence of the work of Christ for us sinners.”

God with Us

Divine Condescension and the Attributes of God To understand the relationship of God to creation, it is necessary first to understand who God is. God with Us explores God’s character in order to argue and reaffirm that he is independent of creation in his intra-Trinitarian relationship, then to highlight what is involved when this transcendent God condescends to relate to his creation, as God with us.

in our finite surroundings. Oliphint’s unusual approach to the attributes of God will appeal to anyone desiring a christological perspective on God’s nature.

In order to worship God rightly it is crucial that we understand his character, properties, and attributes. Toward this end, the primary purpose of this book is that the church might more biblically “think God’s thoughts after him”—that we might understand better just who God is, what he has told us about himself, and how best to think about him. In that sense, the doctrine of God, or theology proper, is the subject of every page. 6 × 9, Paperback, 320 pages, 978-1-4335-0902-5 $21.99, Available November 30, 2011 CONTENTS (PARTIAL) 1. I Am A. God Revealed B. The Significance of the Name

Where other theological efforts view the study of Jesus as simply one branch of a systematic approach, Oliphint puts a primary focus on the understanding of the Son of God as both the quintessential revelation of God’s character and the explanation of how he relates to us. This book helps us to think biblically about who God is and how he can condescend to us

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ There is a long and complex history of the problems that persist when finite creatures attempt to explore the infinite. Specifically, how can we who are limited grasp in any coherent way the One who is infinite and beyond all comprehension? God’s essence is altogether above and beyond our ability fully to comprehend. Part of the answer to that question is given above—God has seen fit to condescend and reveal himself. He has given us a revelation, not only of his plan and purpose for history, but of himself, even of his essence. Thus, we can know him because, and only because, he has made himself known.

“ But coupled with the notion of God revealing himself is the sobering truth that he who reveals himself is, in his essence, beyond our categories of thinking. How, then, can we talk about him in a way that is faithful to who he is? This is the problem of theological predication.”

God Is Love

A Biblical and Systematic Theology Centuries of experience and reflection have produced an enormous body of commentary that seeks to probe the meaning of the mystery of God’s love, giving rise to many controversies in the course of time. Here Gerald Bray advances the conversation with a systematic theology that is firmly grounded in God’s Word and is focused on God’s love—offering a sure and comprehensive foundation for what we preach and proclaim.

volume to help others understand the Bible and appreciate why it remains the inexhaustible source and wellspring of our spiritual life. Packed with robust content and supported by a clear outline, Bray’s work articulates the faith that has been believed by Christians everywhere, at all times.

This volume is unique from others of its kind in that Bray traces the overarching theme of God’s love through the Bible—from God’s love for himself and his creation to our rejection of God’s love, then from the cross as the ultimate expression of God’s love to the consummation of his love in the Holy Spirit. The centrality of God’s love in Bray’s theology reflects a deep conviction that the Bible shows us God for who he really is.

CONTENTS (PARTIAL) Part 1: The Language of Love 1. The Christian Experience of God 2. God Has Spoken to Us

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ Some people think of theology in terms of a ‘system’ while others shy away from that word because it seems to reduce the complexities of a living relationship to an abstract formula that can be logically dissected and pieced together in the classroom. The systematizer is often tempted to provide solutions to questions that demand an answer if the system is to be complete, but that are unanswerable in the current state of our knowledge. There is no doubt that attempts to claim more than the evidence warrants have brought the discipline of theology into disrepute. To give only a couple of examples, we do not know what God was doing before he created the world, nor can we say why he chose Israel to be his special people. We do not know when the world will end and cannot say why there are so many people who

The Christian Worldview have not had the message of salvation preached to them, through no fault of their own. “ No one knows why God permits evil to exist in spite of his own goodness, nor why believers who are destined for happiness in the next life have to suffer in this one. Of course, we can suggest possible reasons for some of these things, and occasionally we can make logical deductions about what must be the case. . . Beyond that, we can only speak in generalities and have to admit that there are gaps in our understanding that will not be filled until we are seated with him in his eternal glory.”

Redeeming Sociology A God-Centered Approach

In their pursuit of social welfare, sociologists and everyday citizens alike have adopted a worldview that fails to account for both the nature of God and the depravity of humankind. Ignoring God and sin has resulted in misguided analyses and ineffective solutions to societal issues. The time has come to rethink the study of sociology since those faulty assumptions have clearly affected the discipline as a whole.

6 × 9, Paperback, 352 pages, 978-1-4335-2129-4 $25.00, Available Now CONTENTS (PARTIAL) 1. The Importance of Relationships Part 1: God’s Involvement with Relationships 2.

Small Pieces of Human Action within the Big Pieces 12. World History 13. The Fall into Sin

Recognizing that human relationships are derived from the triune relationships within the Godhead, Poythress argues that social interactions must be assessed through a biblical framework that takes seriously the problem of sin. He examines how the breaking of relationships through sin leads to strife, murder, and oppression among human beings and sets cultures against one another. And he shows how these broken relationships are restored through the outworking of redemption in Christ. Though typical sociological models for interpersonal relationships may offer some valuable insights, they are handicapped by a fundamental misunderstanding of humanity. The biblical model that Poythress presents correctly diagnoses the problem of human relationships so it can prescribe a scriptural solution that infuses new meaning and power into how we relate to others made in the image of God. Poythress has written this compelling volume to stimulate the reconfiguration and transformation of a worldview gone awry, helping us to think rightly about fallen human relationships and our models for understanding and improving them. Redeeming Sociology advocates a biblically informed approach based on the Trinitarian nature of God, his governance of the world, and his redemption accomplished in Christ—a model that will help to reform the field of sociology as well as the beliefs and behaviors in our own relationships.

“ Using the triadic analytical technique derived from the truth of the Trinity, Poythress continues his quest for an undistorted, biblical understanding of the sciences, this time zeroing in on linguistics and sociology. This is a work of first-rate thinking. Demanding yet enriching, this book is a major contribution to modern reformation and its intellectual renewal.”

J. I. PACKER, Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College; author, Knowing God “ In the spirit of Abraham Kuyper, Vern Poythress has given us a valuable guide to thinking about godly relationships in our secular world. He develops a biblical understanding of how the distortions of sin have fractured our relationships with God and his people. I commend Poythress for his insightful thinking in this book, which joins the ranks of his similar contributions on science and literature.”

J. LANIER BURNS, Research Professor of Theological Studies, Senior Professor of Systematic Theology, Dallas Theological Seminary “ Vern Poythress has done thinking Christians a great service by engaging in rigorous theological reflection on relationships—that allimportant facet of human existence that we are inescapably immersed in, are shaped by, and yet often take for granted. Church leaders will benefit from this fine book.”

ANDREAS J. KÖSTENBERGER

Excellence

The Character of God and the Pursuit of Scholarly Virtue Excellence is important; especially in the academy and the church—contexts in which the pressures toward sheer survival and mediocrity are particularly intense. The primary reason for this is bound up with the nature and character of God. God is the foundation for all true excellence. He is the one who fills any definition of excellence with meaning, and he is the reason why we cannot be content with lackluster mediocrity, halfhearted effort, or substandard scholarship. Excellence starts and ends with God and is first and foremost a hallmark and attribute of God. Without God as our starting point and continual frame of reference, our discussion of excellence would be hopelessly inadequate. We are called to excellence in all aspects of our lives and activities, and not least in our character. Andreas Köstenberger summons all Christians, and especially aspiring pastors, scholars, and teachers, to a life of virtue lived out in excellence. Köstenberger moves through Christian virtues chapter by chapter, outlining the Bible’s teaching and showing how Christ-dependent excellence in each area will have a profound impact on one’s ministry and scholarship. Virtues covered include grace, courage, integrity, creativity, eloquence, humility, diligence, and service. This unique book is an important character check for all Christians engaged in teaching and ministry, and especially for those in training. Köstenberger’s thoughtful volume will be a valuable touchstone for readers, since one’s character is a critical matter in both scholarship and ministry. “ Andreas Köstenberger, who has a distinguished career in the world of scholarship, addresses a topic few have had courage to tackle in a kind-spirited tone—namely, the practical application of intellectual virtues in scholarship. Grounded in the biblical text and balanced by the realities of life, this clear, concise, compelling, and often convicting work points

the scholar to the more excellent way, where conduct in scholarship weighs as important as the content of scholarship. For those who long to see Christian graces and civility permeate the world of scholarship this book deserves careful attention. It is not to be read and then left on the shelf, but taken to heart.”

BRUCE A. LITTLE, Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Associate Dean of Theological Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; Director, L. Russ Bush Center for Faith and Culture “ Sadly, Christian scholarship often has more prima donnas than the New York ballet, and more mediocrity than a Cuban car-making factory! In an age when scholars sometimes think of themselves as celebrities rather than servants of the church, along comes Andreas Köstenberger with a great book on the virtues of the Christian academic. Köstenberger provides engaging reflections on how to turn your utmost scholarship to the highest ends of all: the glory of God. In this slim book, Köstenberger provides us with a pathway on how to cultivate the great virtues in the life of the Christian scholar. It is rebuking, moving, and inspiring!”

MICHAEL F. BIRD, Lecturer in Theology

and New Testament at Crossway College, Brisbane, Australia

“ Excellence is a lofty challenge, and is most often measured in our culture by personal or financial gain. Dr. Köstenberger has given us a muchneeded biblical and theological perspective on excellence, centered in the very character and works of God. The journey of excellence begins with God and is lived out in us in our own spiritual growth and development. This message has been a fresh reminder to me that I have no choice but to pursue excellence in all areas of my life because of the grace given to me in Christ.”

Volume 2 in this one-of-a-kind resource takes a sweeping look at apologetics from the Reformation to the present. Readings from twentysix apologists, including Martin Luther, John Calvin, Blaise Pascal, Jonathan Edwards, Søren Kierkegaard, Francis Schaeffer, Alvin Plantinga, and William Lane Craig are included. With editorial commentary and questions for reflection, Christian Apologetics Past and Present will prove a valuable text for students as well as a unique resource for those interested in defending the faith. “ This reader on the classical traditions of Christian apologetics is, to my knowledge, unmatched in basic compendia. It will equip and encourage thoughtful Christians to develop equally compelling defenses of the faith.”

“ This collection is superbly done and will bring much needed wisdom to our own times.”

Histories and Fallacies

Problems Faced in the Writing of History In Histories and Fallacies historian Carl Trueman presents a series of classic historical problems as a way to examine what history is, what it means, and how it can be told and understood. Each chapter in Histories and Fallacies gives an account of a particular problem, examines a classic example of that problem, and then suggests a solution or approach that will bear fruit. Trueman begins by analyzing the issue of objectivity in history. He explores the notion that no history can be neutral by looking at the phenomenon of Holocaust Denial. He continues to detail issues surrounding interpretative frameworks, using an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of Marxism as an example. Trueman then looks at the problem of anachronism, particularly as it pertains to the history of ideas. He enlists the help of Quentin Skinner and his work on historical methodology in an analysis of problems and solutions relating to anachronism. The book ends with a chapter containing a collection of reflections on particular issues of which the historian should be aware, or a “fistful of fallacies.” Highlighting historians in action over theory, Histories and Fallacies guides both readers and writers of history away from dead ends and methodological mistakes and into a fresh confidence in the productive nature of the historical task. Readers who follow Trueman’s deft writing will not just be learning theory but will already be practicing fruitful approaches to history.

“ This is a very good book, full of historiographical wisdom. I recommend it strongly as a sure and encouraging guide to budding historians befuddled by the so-called ‘history wars,’ and to anyone who is interested in the challenges attending those who represent the history of Christian thought.”

DOUGLAS A. SWEENEY, Associate Professor of Church History, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “ Carl Trueman’s cogent and engaging approach to historiography provides significant examples of problems faced by historians and the kinds of fallacies frequently encountered in historical argumentation. Trueman steers a clear path between problematic and overdrawn conclusions on the one hand and claims of utter objectivity on the other. His illustrations, covering several centuries of Western history, are telling. He offers a combination of careful historical analysis coupled with an understanding of the logical and argumentative pitfalls to which historians are liable that is a service to the field and should provide a useful guide to beginning researchers. A must for courses on research methodology.”

Living in God’s Two Kingdoms

A Biblical Vision for Christianity and Culture Modern movements such as neo-Calvinism, the New Perspective on Paul, and the emerging church have popularized a view of Christianity and culture that calls for the redemption of earthly society and institutions. Many Christians have reflexively embraced this view, enticed by the socially active and engaged faith it produces. Living in God’s Two Kingdoms illustrates how a two-kingdoms model of Christianity and culture affirms much of what is compelling in these transformationist movements while remaining faithful to the whole counsel of Scripture. By focusing on God’s response to each kingdom—his preservation of the civil society and his redemption of the spiritual kingdom— VanDrunen teaches readers how to live faithfully in each sphere. 5.5 × 8.5, Paperback, 208 pages, 978-1-4335-1404-3 $16.99, Available Now CONTENTS 1. Introduction: Christianity, Culture, and the Two Kingdoms Part 1: First Things and Last Things 2. The First Adam: Creation and Fall 3. Jesus Christ the Last Adam: Redemption and Consummation Part 2: Living in Babylon 4. Old Testament Sojourners 5. New Testament Sojourners Part 3: Christian Life in the Two Kingdoms 6. The Church 7. Education, Vocation, and Politics

Highlighting vital biblical distinctions between honorable and holy tasks, VanDrunen’s analysis will challenge Christians to be actively and critically engaged in the culture around them while retaining their identities as sojourners and exiles in this world. “ For some years now, I’ve been asking students to read works by Professor David VanDrunen. He has a gift for recovering themes from the political theology of the Reformation and demonstrating their continuing relevance. In this book, VanDrunen shows that the Reformation’s two-kingdoms theology allows Christians to faithfully navigate a course between, on the one hand, investing excessive hope in earthly government or, on the other, retreating from political life into isolationist enclaves. Particularly welcome is his emphasis on the liberty of biblical Christians to reach differing conclusions about how our political engagement might glorify God.”

“ The Apostle Peter writes that Christians are God’s own people, sojourners and exiles in this age. What does this calling mean for the way in which believers work in their jobs, raise their families, educate their children, and vote at the polls? In Living in God’s Two Kingdoms, David VanDrunen addresses these questions and more, offering a robust and reasoned alternative to transformationalist understandings of Christianity and culture. Whether or not readers agree with every argument in Living in God’s Two Kingdoms, they will find themselves engaged and challenged to think constructively and biblically about a critical issue in the life of the church. VanDrunen has done a great service to the church in promoting continued reflection on Christianity and culture, and in offering sound practical counsels to Christians eager to serve God in their pilgrimage heavenward.”

GUY PRENTISS WATERS, Associate Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, MS “ Over the past century, evangelicals have jumped out of the frying pan of quietism into the fire of worldliness. Taking his cue from Scripture rather than merely responding to cultural trends, David VanDrunen outlines a biblically grounded theology of cultural engagement that reflects both the lordship of Christ over all creation and the special mission and calling of the church. This book, bold and unapologetic, provides some extraordinarily helpful categories for thinking clearly about what it means to live faithfully and wisely in the present age.”

DOUGLAS SEAN O’DONNELL

The Beginning and End of Wisdom

Preaching Christ from the First and Last Chapters of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job [Foreword by Sidney Greidanus] The Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament can be daunting to interpret and to preach. But Douglas O’Donnell has successfully linked the messages of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job to Jesus in the New Testament. He shares six Christocentric sermons that reveal the oftenoverlooked shadow of the cross within this biblical genre, while addressing age-old questions of significance and suffering, the meaning of life and work, and humanity’s chief relationship between husband and wife. Through careful examination of poetic forms, linguistic correlations, and most importantly a profound understanding of the gospel, The Beginning and End of Wisdom helps connect Wisdom Literature to the wisdom of God found ultimately in the person of Christ. “ Doug O’Donnell’s sermons in this volume are all that a preaching commentary should be—analytic of the biblical text, wide-ranging in biblical scholarship, containing a wealth of ‘bridge building’ to everyday life, and stylistically excellent.”

LELAND RYKEN, Professor of English,

Wheaton College

“ Rarely does an individual combine the precision of an exegete, the passion of a poet, and the pulse of a pastor. But Doug O’Donnell demonstrates all of these qualities in his most recent book. What is even more impressive is that O’Donnell focuses his attention on the Old Testament Wisdom Literature, one of the sections of the Bible most neglected by scholars and pastors alike. His model sermons and the hermeneutical discussions that undergird them are sure to inspire many others to follow the path that he has blazed so well.”

DANIEL J. ESTES, Distinguished Professor of Bible, Dean of the School of Biblical and Theological Studies, Cedarville University “ The Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament poses one of the most daunting challenges for preachers whose resolve is to preach Christ from all the Scriptures. Pastor Douglas O’Donnell offers invaluable modeling and coaching to help us explore, in practical terms, how to preach Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job in a way that both expounds the biblical texts with integrity and sets them into the larger context of the Bible’s unified witness to Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

KEVIN DEYOUNG AND GREG GILBERT

What Is the Mission of the Church?

Making Sense of Social Justice, Shalom, and the Great Commission Social justice and mission are popular topics today. Some argue that the mission of the church is to confront injustice and alleviate suffering, doing more to express God’s love for the world. Still others are concerned that the church is in danger of losing its God-centeredness and therefore emphasize the proclamation of the gospel. It appears as though misunderstanding of mission persists. Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert believe there is a lot that evangelicals can agree on if only we employ the right categories and build our theology of mission from the same biblical building blocks. Explaining key concepts like kingdom, gospel, and social justice, DeYoung and Gilbert help us to get on the same page— united by a common cause—and launch us forward into the true mission of the church. 5.5 × 8.5, Paperback, 288 pages, 978-1-4335-2690-9 $15.99, Available Now CONTENTS Part 1: Understanding Our Mission 1. A Common Word in Need of a Careful Definition 2. What in the World Does Jesus Send Us into the World to Do? Part 2: Understanding Our Categories 3. The Whole Story: Seeing the Biblical Narrative from the Top of Golgotha 4. Are We Missing the Whole Gospel? Understanding the Good News 5. Kings and Kingdoms: Understanding God’s Redemptive Rule 6. Making Sense of Social Justice: Exposition 7. Making Sense of Social Justice: Application 8.

The Great Commission Mission: What It Means and Why It Matters Epilogue: So You’re Thinking of Starting a New Kind of Church: Advice for the Young, Motivated, and Missional

What Is the Mission of the Church? will help Christians articulate and live out their views on the mission of the church in ways that are theologically faithful, exegetically careful, and personally sustainable. From defining “mission,” to examining key passages on social justice and their application, to setting our efforts in the context of God’s rule, DeYoung and Gilbert bring a wise, studied perspective to the missional conversation. “ A very timely and eminently engaging book for all those who care deeply about the church’s mission in our day. Again and again, I found myself nodding in agreement as the authors made a key point from Scripture or noted the missional relevance of a given biblical passage. I highly recommend this book, not just as food for thought, but more importantly, as a call to obedient, biblically informed action.”

ANDREAS J. KÖSTENBERGER, Senior Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology, Director of PhD Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary “ Christ is the greatest message in the world, and delivering it is the greatest mission. But are we losing our focus? Are we being distracted,

sometimes even by good things? Zealous Christians disagree sharply today over the church’s proper ministry and mission. Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert bring us back to first things in an age of mission creep and distraction. Offering balanced wisdom, this book will give us not only encouragement but discomfort exactly where we all need it. It’s the kind of biblical sanity we need at this moment.”

MICHAEL HORTON, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California “ Among the many books that have recently appeared on mission, this is the best one if you are looking for sensible definitions, clear thinking, readable writing, and the ability to handle the Bible in more than proof-texting ways. I pray that God will use it to bring many to a renewed grasp of what the gospel is and how that gospel relates, on the one hand, to biblical theology and, on the other, to what we are called to do.”

D. A. CARSON, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “ In what appears to be a growing tension over what the mission of the church encompasses, DeYoung and Gilbert bring a remarkably balanced book that can correct, restore, and help regardless of which way you lean or land on all things ‘missional.’”

MATT CHANDLER, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Highland Village, Texas “ DeYoung and Gilbert provide clarity to some of the most complex contemporary issues facing the church. Focusing us squarely on the redemptive nature of the gospel, they ultimately point us not only to the church’s mission, but to practical ways to understand and live it. The result is a book that will be of great help to pastors, missiologists, theologians, and practitioners.”

Why, O God?

Suffering and Disability in the Bible and the Church [Foreword by Randy Alcorn] With two in seven American families affected by disability, the body of Christ has a great opportunity for ministry. This new anthology uniquely points the way, training churches, caregivers, pastors, and counselors to compassionately respond. The book’s contributors—ranging from Joni Eareckson Tada and others living with disabilities, to seminary professors, ministry leaders, and medical professionals—do more than offer a biblical perspective on suffering and disability; they draw from very personal experiences to explore our responsibility toward those who suffer. The volume addresses various disabilities and age-related challenges, end-of-life issues, global suffering, and other concerns—all the while reminding readers that as they seek to help the hurting, they will be ministered to in return. This unprecedented work, which includes a foreword by Randy Alcorn, belongs in the hands of every Christian worker and caring individual who is seeking a real-world, biblical perspective on suffering. “ Sadly, ministry to the disabled within our churches is a much-neglected area. This book rightly identifies it as a priority that demands our thoughtful response. Yet never before has a single book combined such a rich harmony of insights from scholars across so many disciplines, ranging from biblical studies to the medical field. It reminds us, too, that disabled believers have an important ministry to the nondisabled in the church as bearing witness to the grace of God who redeems all our sufferings with a loving purpose. This book will serve as a valuable resource in churches, colleges, and seminaries for years to come.”

“ The question as to why righteous individuals suffer is as old as the days of Job. Why, O God? first faces the problem biblically, searching the Scriptures to find God’s perspective on suffering. Then it faces the problem experientially, as many who have seriously suffered share their stories to show the sufficiency of God’s grace and what they learned from their sufferings. A study of the first will provide a foundation for understanding of suffering, and a study of the second will be an encouragement to all who suffer because they bear testimony of the grace of God. This balanced approach provides a work that will answer many questions as to why the righteous suffer, and it is highly recommended.”

J. DWIGHT PENTECOST, Distinguished Professor of Bible Exposition, Emeritus, Dallas Theological Seminary “ Who doesn’t ask why? It is the question we all consider. I am grateful for this biblical and personal approach to suffering which will minister love and healing to the body of Christ.”

hope, however, as each contributor brings the conversation back to the Bible and the gospel as the only source of true, enduring change.

Continuing the renowned “Cosby Conversation,” first started in 2007 by Bill Cosby and Dr. Alvin Poussaint, Bradley has assembled a team of pastors, scholars, and leaders to address specific issues within the black community. Bradley’s volume features contributions from Vincent Bacote, Ralph C. Watkins, Eric M. Mason, Anthony Carter, Craig Mitchell, and others.

Michael Eric Dyson: An Analysis (Mitchell) 11. Conclusion

Covering a variety of topics, including victim mentality, hip-hop, masculinity, and the prosperity gospel, this book will open readers’ eyes to the serious challenges facing the black church today. It will not leave readers without FROM THE PREFACE: “ One of the greatest impediments to the healthy mission of the Black Church has been the rise of the prosperity gospel. The prosperity gospel has devastated the lives of many people who need help from God by distorting the core message of the gospel. In chapter 9 Ken Jones discusses the prosperity gospel in historical context and offers important biblical and theological corrections to a movement that has exploded in black communities all over America. We conclude the book by introducing readers to Michael Eric Dyson, an ordained Baptist minister and professor of sociology at Georgetown University. Dyson has been one of the most outspoken academic critics of Bill Cosby’s vision to move African-Americans away from a victim mentality to one of personal empowerment. The author of sixteen books to date, with more surely to come, Dyson has emerged as a leading voice on helping the black community, often wedding biblical themes with themes in popular hip-hop. In chapter 10 Craig Mitchell provides an introduction to Dyson for readers and provides a theological evaluation of Dyson to put him in biblical perspective.

“ It is my hope that this book will be read critically and will create new questions for a national dialogue about the Black Church and her connection to the black community as we move forward. I and the other contributors to this book are all independent thinkers from multiple traditions. While we do not agree on specific prescriptions for change in all areas, we do share a central conviction that there needs to be a resurgence of black religious leadership to properly address the issues that plague the community and every individual person in it. We hope this will be the first step in rallying black religious leaders to lock arms and provide the moral voice that our communities and the world desperately need. There is much work to do, and there is no time to waste. It’s time to ‘get real.’”

JOHN PIPER

Bloodlines

Race, Cross, and the Christian [Foreword by Tim Keller] Racism, hatred, and claims to ethnic superiority have been tragic elements of the human condition since the fall. In every manifestation, the root of racial sin is an unbelieving heart resistant to the grace and mercy of God. The gospel of Jesus Christ, therefore, is the only hope for any meaningful racial solutions. John Piper brings the light of the gospel to bear on racial issues in this ground-breaking book. Bloodlines begins with Piper’s confession of his own sins and experience with racial tensions, along with how God has been transforming him and his church. He enables readers to grasp the reality and extent of racism, and then he demonstrates from Scripture how the gospel penetrates the darkness of this destructive sin. Piper concludes with sections on what Jesus’s atoning death means for racial issues, interracial marriage, and prejudice. With great sensitivity and compassion, along with a careful reading of the Scriptures, Piper navigates the painful landscape of racial sin, showing that in the gospel we all have a com-

mon bloodline and that through the blood of Jesus, race and ethnicity become secondary for a common people of God. “ Piper has given us an exquisite work on the matter of race, addressing the issue with personal sensitivity and practical advice. A must read for those who wish to pursue unity God’s way.”

TONY EVANS, President, The Urban Alternative; Senior Pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship “ For years, I have yearned for a biblically sound, theologically anchored resource on race. God has answered that prayer. Leaping off the pages of Bloodlines is the power of the gospel to overcome and defeat racism and a call to cross-centered, holy justice in our attitudes and actions toward those who are not like us. This is an important, foundational work, and I am sure it will be used of God to remind all of us of the power and precious, priceless dignity of the gospel.”

FROM CHAPTER 5: “ This deeply felt sense of race as a continuing, painful, and pervasive issue in America means that talking about race continues to be difficult. The feelings run very deep and very high. If your skin is thin, you had best hold your tongue. But holding our tongues does not usually advance understanding, deepen respect, warm the affections, or motivate action. So I speak and write. Not because I believe I have final answers to complex issues we face, but because I believe the gospel of Jesus is relevant and healing in more ways than most people realize . . .

that the situation we find ourselves in is not one of educational, economic, residential, political, or medical equality. Nor is there a growing integration of our lives, but rather, for many, a retreat into greater separation. In some ways, inequalities are greater, and segregation is on the rise. “ For most African Americans, these realities shape their consciousness profoundly. The majority culture (which for a little while longer is still white) has the luxury of being oblivious to race (which would change in an instant, if we moved to Nigeria). But for minority peoples, race-related issues are a persistent part of consciousness. If these issues are silently ignored in our relationships, the resulting harmony will be shallow and fragile. That is why I am dealing with them in this book.”

Words Made Fresh

Essays on Literature and Culture Acclaimed novelist Larry Woiwode frames this new collection of essays in the language of the incarnation, the event that shows “how a metaphor of words could contain the lineaments and inner workings of a human being.” Through the mediums of literary analysis, cultural reflection, and personal memory, these ten essays trace Woiwode’s work and thought on such topics as the redemptive fiction of John Gardner, the ownership of guns, the faith of William Shakespeare, and even the difference in news as reported by CNN versus Bob Dylan. Woiwode ranges over these and other topics with deliberate thoughtfulness and with the care of a writer for whom “the Word is home.”

The Faith of Shakespeare: On My Favorite Actor About the Essays

Each essay here seems a kind of heirloom, important and timeless, a real window into the soul of American culture and its literary figures. These words give us a place in which to find rest, and a clarity and depth of understanding regarding today’s trends from a man well acquainted with the wounds and gifts of this world. Woiwode offers us a collection of insightful and provocative commentaries that showcase his mastery of language as well as his stimulating observations of both literature and culture. “ Living up to the inventiveness of the book’s title, these essays are fireside chats with a wellknown author on a range of subjects—literary criticism to cultural critique. The result is a valuable blend of information and assessment of culture and authors ranging from modern writers like John Updike and Reynolds Price to William Shakespeare (the subject of the culminating essay in the book, a small classic).”

“ Great writing is greatest when its weft and warp are inseparable, when what is being said weaves so tightly into how it is said that new meanings are brought forth, and whole tapestried landscapes are suddenly apprehended. Words Made Fresh, in its omnivorous density, in its evenhandedness that reveals a lapidary perspective, in its moral engagement and in its fuerte of feeling, is great writing at its greatest.”

LYNN STEGNER, Lecturer in Continuing Studies, Stanford University; author, Because a Fire Was in My Head “ This absorbing collection of essays presents Woiwode at his most insightful and most provocative. Woiwode provides astute analysis and sensitive observations, linking personal narrative with commentary on the Word and its connections with and disconnections from contemporary culture. He is not only one of our finest novelists, Woiwode also offers a strong Christian aesthetic and a cultural savvy that is penetrating and wise.”

JILL PELÁEZ BAUMGAERTNER, Dean of Humanities and Theological Studies, Wheaton College “ This is a book for writers and readers, for those uncertain and certain of God. Woiwode’s examination of literature is so masterful that one can’t help but weigh his prose hand in hand with the art he admires, and I will not be surprised if you should find his sentences richer. I’ve been a student of Woiwode’s work for thirty years and am not yet done—this stunning collection of thought and prose has made me think and dream as I haven’t in years.”

Lit!

A Christian Guide to Reading Books Lit! is for any Christian who wants to read books, and read them well. This book covers a wide range of topics: why we should read, how to choose what to read, and how to find joy— not drudgery—in reading.

Reinke’s excitement about reading and his carefully reasoned defense of it.”

Tony Reinke lays out a theology of reading built around the gospel, undergirded by Scripture, and corroborated by church history. He offers guidance for exercising discernment in what to read, and practical advice on how to read regularly and well.

“ You might wonder why you need to read about reading. Some of you have piles and piles of books on your shelves, or on your nightstand, but have no idea how to choose what to read, and when. Some of you are being altered in ways you don’t even recognize by digital technology such that you can’t see how you’re too distracted to summon the deep attention needed to read. This engagingly written book will make you think, but it will also provide practical, winsome advice on how to become the right kind of reader for the glory of God.”

Reinke also explains how to foster a culture of reading in our churches, our schools, and homes. The book stresses that we may find truth, help, insight, and beauty in many different forms of literature—from theology to fiction, fantasy to business. Offered here is a theology for reading and practical suggestions for reading widely, reading well, and for making it all worthwhile. “ There is so much to commend about this book that it is hard to know where to start. The most obvious virtue is its scope. On the subject of reading, Reinke covers every possible topic. Each topic, in turn, is broken into all of its important subpoints. With a lesser writer, this could produce a tedious book, but the opposite is true here. Reinke says just enough, but not too much. The effect is like seeing a prism turned in the light. There is never a dull moment. “ Once I sensed that Reinke was going to cover all the important topics, and with unfailing good sense and Christian insight, I could hardly put it down. . . . But to add yet another twist, he has read so widely in scholarly and religious sources that I do not hesitate to call the book a triumph of scholarship. Reinke writes with an infectious and winsome enthusiasm. It is hard to imagine a reader of this book who would not catch the spark for reading after encountering

RUSSELL D. MOORE, Dean, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, Tempted and Tried “ I read many books, but seldom do I enjoy one more than I did Tony Reinke’s Lit! Many of my greatest childhood adventures, and much of my growth after I was converted as a teenager, came through reading imagination-expanding and life-changing books. Tony’s writing is thoughtful, perceptive, concise, and God-honoring. He upholds biblical authority and offers helpful guidance, while allowing for a range of tastes. Lit! rings true to my own lifetime of reading experience. As a reader and writer of both nonfiction and fiction, I appreciate the breadth of Tony’s treatment, which includes a variety of genres. For book lovers, this is a treasure and delight. For those who aren’t book lovers, it makes a great case for becoming one.”

God’s Grand Design

The Theological Vision of Jonathan Edwards Jonathan Edwards’s comprehensive theological vision set forward an approach to the Christian life that started with God’s glory and ended with all creation returning that glory. Yet for all of the work that has been done on Edwards in the last few decades, this magnificent vision has never been adequately explored.

Sean Michael Lucas has converted his years of teaching into this valuable volume, which unpacks Edwards’s theological vision in an accessible, two-part framework: Part one focuses on Edwards’s understanding of redemption history—God’s cosmic, grand work from eternity past to eternity future, where all things are united in Christ; Part two examines Edwards’s perspective on “redemption applied”—how that gracious, divine work unfolds in space and time to personally transform individuals, stirring their affections, illuminating their minds, and moving their wills to form new habits and practices. This overview of Edwards’s theology is a thought-provoking and theologically intriguing journey. To join Edwards and Lucas in this extensive vision of God’s infinite work is to strengthen our understanding of what God has called us to be and to do in this world. “ This is an edifying book on a most edifying person, one who became the most important pastor in all of American history. By focusing our attention on what mattered most to Edwards—authentic Christian living that derives from God’s grace and reflects God’s glory— Sean Lucas has written a book that can draw you nearer to God, even make you a better person. Good theology, well presented, leads to passionate, godly piety. Edwards and Lucas know this well. I pray that you will know it too.”

“ Those of us trundling through the complete works of Jonathan Edwards in the recent Yale edition are grateful for experts like Sean Lucas who, with a single lucid paragraph, are able to unravel the most complex of Edwardian thought. The study of Edwards has become something of a ‘rite of passage’ in recent days and some of us have some catching up to do. Dr. Lucas, a well-respected Edwards scholar in his own right, has given us a comprehensive summary of Edwards’s understanding of the Christian life that does for Edwards what Sinclair Ferguson did for John Owen. An essential and most welcome companion to any serious study of Edwards.”

DEREK W. H. THOMAS, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Minister of Preaching and Teaching, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina “ Sean Michael Lucas analyzes the ways that Jonathan Edwards understood the Christian life as both inconceivably vast and intensely personal and practical, demonstrating that there is still much to be learned from America’s greatest philosopher-theologian. From his introduction all the way to the two invaluable appendices, Lucas offers an eminently useful volume that reminds one of much of Edwards’s own writing—technical yet accessible, scholarly yet pastoral.”

KENNETH BERDING

Walking in the Spirit Walking in the Spirit is a biblical study on life in the Holy Spirit. Professor Kenneth Berding uses the apostle Paul and his words in Romans 8 to model what it looks like to live both empowered and set free by the Spirit. His practical guide covers a variety of topics, showing readers how to set their minds on the things of the Spirit, put to death the deeds of the body, be led by the Spirit, know the fatherhood of God, and hope and pray in the Spirit. Filled with real-life examples, a solid understanding of Scripture, and engaging personal stories, Berding offers an invaluable message to many of us who either ignore, forget, or want to know more of the Spirit’s role in the Christian life. “ Here we are blessed by the insights of this godly man and first-rate scholar. Those wanting to know more of the Spirit’s work in their lives will be helped greatly by what this book offers.”

“ There is so much confusion among Christians about the Holy Spirit, and I am thankful that Berding has written a much-needed book in layman’s language. It is at once biblical, irenic, and charitable. I recommend it to pastors with the hope that they will give copies to their congregations.”

LYLE W. DORSETT, Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University “ How do I move from a place of confessing belief in the Holy Spirit to experiencing the Holy Spirit’s transforming presence in a more profound way? Walking in the Spirit offers us an array of practical insights that will help new believers as well as those who have been Christians for many years.”

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ There are many things that are real about the Christian life that cannot be reduced to propositional language. This isn’t the case for only spiritual realities—though the difficulty is often felt there more acutely than anywhere else; it is also true for many issues in life. For example, how would you describe in concrete words the love a husband feels for his wife or the trust a child has in her mother? I’m not asking how you can tell whether a husband loves his wife or a child trusts her mother. That’s easy. You can see love or trust worked out in what they do; the husband does specific loving actions toward his wife, such as spending time talking with her over a cup of tea, and a child demonstrates trust by listening to the advice of her mother. The more difficult question is how to describe what the husband’s love feels like, or what the child experiences when she

trusts her mother. Nonmetaphorical language lets you down at that point. “ This is why poets and songwriters (and lovers who are neither poets nor songwriters!) use metaphors to express their love. Although imagery cannot communicate all that is there, in certain situations it often communicates more fully than concrete words do. Some things are difficult to communicate with straightforward words. Metaphors suggest to our inner selves something that is true about a deeper reality. They also often touch us in our emotions, something direct language often doesn’t accomplish as well. This is important, because the passages of Scripture that teach us how to walk Spirit-ually should impact our hearts and emotions as well as our actions.”

Welcome to the Story

Reading, Loving, and Living God’s Word This examination of the biblical narrative teaches Christians to read the Bible in a way that deepens their love for God and fuels their desire to see his Word lived out in their daily lives. Nichols explains the four “chapters” of the biblical narrative (creation, fall, redemption, and restoration) and gives guidance on how to interpret Scripture, why we are to love God’s Word, and how we are to live and proclaim the story in word, deed, and mission. “ Nichols has written a delightful and inviting book on how to understand and live out the Bible. The storyline of the Scriptures is sketched in, and the book is full of wise advice on how to read and live out what God requires. I recommend the book with enthusiasm.”

Along the way, one encounters many testimonials from others who likewise have been involved in this story, and the reader is invited to consider how he or she also should enter this story.

THABITI ANYABWILE

Finding Faithful Elders and Deacons [Series: IXMarks]

Any church leader knows that the basic qualifications for elders and deacons are articulated in the Bible, but that same leader also knows that actually finding leaders who fulfill the biblical qualifications is difficult. While many books analyze the finer points of church government, few have been written on both elders and deacons, and fewer still successfully show how to identify and reproduce legitimate leaders and willing servants throughout the ranks of the church body.

Rather than exacerbating the controversial questions surrounding these issues, this book provides meaningful action points that will prove effective for a wide range of interpretations. It can also be used to teach and instruct in situations such as a church selecting its first elders after a period of planning and study, or in guiding church members about which qualities the congregation should seek in their prospective elders.

Thabiti Anyabwile writes from his expertise as a pastor and an elder, as well as from his experience of being led by faithful men—men who saw in him the fundamental qualities listed in Scripture and invested their time, energy, and love into mentoring him to take their place. Balancing thoughtful analysis of pertinent passages with thorough application for practical use in a contemporary context, Anyabwile answers the questions, “Who should we look for to lead and serve in the church?” and “What should they do to fulfill their calling?” Most helpful, perhaps, are the lists “Observations to Make” and “Questions to Ask,” which are provided for the characteristics described.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ A church without godly leaders is an endangered church. And a church that does not train leaders is an unfaithful church. God gives leaders to his churches for the maturity, unity, and soundness of each local congregation. Without godly, faithful, replicating leadership, churches suffer deeply. “ The apostle Paul knew how important such leadership is. In 2 Timothy, the apostle writes his ‘dear son’ in the faith, Timothy, with several final instructions and exhortations, including the exhortation to find good leaders. Timothy grew up under the spiritual instruction of his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice (2 Tim. 2:2, 5). He traveled, served, and learned alongside Paul. And now the apostle, near the end of his life, instructing in

the ‘shadow of the scaffold,’ writes with deep tenderness in almost every verse. Amidst the many jewels in this letter, one of them is Paul’s charge to find and entrust ‘faithful men.’ “ The apostle’s teaching must live on, passed from faithful hand to faithful hand. That means that the pastor must be able to spot faithful men and train them. If a man is not given to discipling others, it’s unlikely that he is called to the pastoral office.”

GREG FORSTER

The Joy of Calvinism

Knowing God’s Personal, Unconditional, Irresistible, Unbreakable Love Greg Forster argues that Calvinism holds the key to the Bible’s command to “rejoice continually,” given his conviction that “real Calvinism is all about joy.” Forster systematically demonstrates this belief by addressing popular misconceptions of what Calvinism is and is not. Dismantling negative expressions of Calvinist theology, Forster positively reiterates its fundamental tenents, showing how God’s love is the driving force behind the Reformed doctrine of salvation.

Written accessibly, The Joy of Calvinism is an important addition to the conversation surrounding Calvinism and its advocates. Skeptics and those who have had negative perceptions of Calvinism, as well as Calvinists themselves, will find this a helpful resource for clearing up the controversies and grasping the winsomeness of the doctrines of grace.

“ Real Calvinism is all about joy. But for some time now, defenders of Calvinism have tended to communicate about it only in highly technical, formulaic, and (especially) negative terms. “ To take only the most obvious example, the notorious ‘five points of Calvinism’ are now virtually the only terms in which Calvinism is formulated. The five points that we now use didn’t even exist until the twentieth century, and weren’t widely used until the second half of that century. Even then, they used to be just one framework among many for talking about Calvinism. But today, these five vague phrases abbreviated by a clever acronym (TULIP) have come to be completely identified with Calvinism. If you tell people you want to defend Calvinism, you’re saying you want to defend the five points. What else could ‘Calvinism’ possibly mean?

be saying. This can’t possibly be the best way to introduce people to what we believe. “ What makes this especially puzzling is that Calvinists usually don’t have this problem at all when they write about John Calvin the man, or other great heroes of faith within the Calvinist tradition, or just about anything else besides Calvinism itself. They will write with great eloquence about Calvin’s passion for God and his pastor’s heart for bringing God’s Word and God’s comfort to ordinary people, or about Augustine or John Newton, or the beauty and purity of the reformed worship tradition, or the real spiritual presence of Christ in the Lord’s Supper. But when the subject is Calvinism itself—the distinctive theology that provides the underlying basis for all the other beautiful Calvinistic things they write so eloquently about—they inexplicably shift gears and retreat to formulas and technicalities.”

“ Bafflingly, this has happened even though many Calvinist writers seem to agree that the five points are a lousy way to describe Calvinism! The five points use highly technical and idiosyncratic terms that invite misunderstanding. And they’re almost entirely negative; they tell you a lot about what Calvinists don’t believe, but very little about what Calvinists do believe. It sometimes feels like Calvinists first invoke the five points, then apologize for invoking the five points, then explain how the five points don’t really mean what they seem to mean and aren’t really saying what they seem to GREG FORSTER (PhD, Yale University) is the program director for American his-

Warfield on the Christian Life

Living in Light of the Gospel [Series: Theologians on the Christian Life] [Foreword by Michael A. G. Haykin] Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851–1921) has been described as one of the most influential and important theologians in American history, second only to Jonathan Edwards. Warfield scholar Fred Zaspel focuses here on Warfield’s writing on the subject of the Christian life. The gospel, the good news of our salvation through Jesus Christ, is central to all of life for Warfield. Zaspel walks us through Warfield’s remarkably learned by practically

accessible views on Bible reading, prayer, holiness, and work, at every point showing how Warfield brings biblical and theological insight to the question of how we are to live in light of the gospel. Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series, edited by Stephen Nichols and Justin Taylor, this volume will help Christians think through what it means to live a God-honoring life before the cross of Christ.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ Historic Christian faith in Warfield’s day had come under stringent attack. The modern ‘enlightened’ mind could no longer tolerate such notions as incarnation, resurrection, and miracles. After Darwin it became increasingly difficult to speak of creation and divine involvement in the world and the affairs of men. Naturalism reigned, and many professing Christians began to feel embarrassed by their traditional doctrines, believing that in order to survive in this scientifically minded world Christianity would just have to make concessions or be left to the ghetto of outdated and discredited superstition. . . . And so with genius of mind and great zeal of heart Warfield poured his energies into what was for him the delightful task of defending and expounding the Christian faith. And this he did at great length, always emphasizing that just as the Christian religion is in a class alone, apart from all other religions in that it is divinely given, so also the Christian life cannot be explained in terms other than divine activity for us and in us.

expressions of vibrant worship, of freedom from sin’s enslaving grip, and of the continuously purifying work of God within his own heart and life. And those who knew him best report that more striking even than his towering intellect and academic powers was his deep love for Christ and his keen sense of dependence upon God for that supernatural aid promised and provided in the gospel. “ In short, Warfield understood the Christian life in consistently gospel terms. ‘Living in light of the gospel’ captures his thinking exactly. Christianity, he taught, is a redemptive religion, and the Christian life is but the outworking of that redemption. His firm grasp of the Christian faith, his fervent heart for Christ, his deep appreciation of grace, and his own Christian experience all served to make him one from whom we can learn not only what Christianity is but also what a Christian is and what the Christian life, by God’s grace, can and ought to be.”

“ Warfield not only taught that the Christian life was supernatural, but he lived in this reality. He ‘liked the supernatural’ because he had tasted of it himself. . . . He knew he was a sinner rescued by divine grace, and he knew the experience of one whose heart had been arrested by the Spirit of God and mysteriously drawn into loving communion with him.

Am I Called?

The Summons to Pastoral Ministry [Foreword by Matt Chandler] Dave Harvey helps men considering pastoral ministry to see God’s active role in the process of discerning their calling. God’s Word offers a clear framework for evaluating one’s call, especially within the context of community. Harvey offers six diagnostic questions to help prospective pastors process their calling and what they should be doing now if they aren’t sure. Illustrated with personal stories and historical examples, Harvey explores biblical and practical principles for determining the pastoral call.

Over the past twenty-four years of ministry, Harvey has enjoyed assisting many men in discerning whether they are called into ministry. This book will guide you through that all-important process with wisdom and confidence in God’s faithfulness in your life.

“ You may be hungering to plant a church—this book is for you. Maybe you’re in Bible school or seminary right now—yep, it’s for you too. You might be in a good job but wondering if you’re called to preach and lead, or perhaps you’re in a job you hate, or you have no job at all. Pull up a chair, you’re in the right place. College student wrestling with a call? Teenage boy trying to interpret some stirrings? Glad you’re here. You might be doing campus ministry, or missions, or some other vocational Christian work. You da man. You might even be a pastor wondering if you really should be doing what you’re doing. This book is also for you. . . .

“ If you’re looking for entertainment, you’re going to be disappointed. Yes, I want this book to engage and inspire you, but we must never lose sight of the weight of this inquiry. The summons of a man into pastoral ministry has always been treated as a solemn thing. The people of God depend on the right man leading them in the right way. So I want to provide answers to the real questions you have as you ponder pastoral ministry.”

“ Perhaps your exploration has moved you from curiosity to earnestness to all-out desperation. Believe me, I hear you. This process is an adventure—one that gets pretty serious and requires desperate prayer. Charles Spurgeon thought so as well: ‘How may a young man know whether he’s called or not? That’s a weighty inquiry, and I desire to treat it most solemnly. O for divine guidance in so doing!’ That’s the kind of appropriate sobriety and divine dependence worth locking down as we begin this journey.

HEATH LAMBERT

The Biblical Counseling Movement after Adams [Foreword by David Powlison]

People inside and outside of the biblical counseling movement recognize differences between the foundational work of Jay Adams and that of current leaders such as David Powlison. But those differences have been ill-defined and largely anecdotal until now.

With a substantial foreword from David Powlison and strong support from prominent biblical counselors, this book will help all Christians interested in the fundamentally theological task of counseling to think carefully and biblically about how it is taught and practiced.

Heath Lambert, the first scholar to analyze the movement’s development from within, shows how biblical counseling emerged from, and remains rooted in, a commitment to the sufficiency of Scripture and the need to give practical help to struggling people. He identifies contemporary leaders—including Powlison, Ed Welch, Paul Tripp, and Wayne Mack—who are recovering the biblical themes of the sinner as sufferer, the heart as key to motivation, and the need to interact humbly with critics. Demonstrating how these refinements in framework, methodology, and engagement are characteristic of a second generation of biblical counselors, Lambert contends this new wave of counselors has become increasingly balanced in their counseling methods.

“ The rise of the biblical counseling movement has been one of the most important developments within evangelical Christianity—and one of the most promising. In this timely book, Heath Lambert documents both trajectory and theology, offering the most helpful book yet to appear on this movement. I am deeply thankful for the return to the sufficiency of Scripture as the foundation for all true biblical counsel. This book will serve generations to come as a guide to the biblical counseling movement and its significance.”

CONTENTS Foreword by David Powlison

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ This is not a book about counseling. Even though you might be tempted to think it is a book about counseling, it is really a book about ministry. The fact is that counseling is ministry, and ministry is counseling. The two are equivalent terms. Counseling is the word our culture uses to describe what happens when people with questions, problems, and trouble have a conversation with someone they think has answers, solutions, and help. Those kinds of conversations are what ministers do every day, all day long, and the ministers who don’t do this know that they could spend their time this way if they wanted to. So don’t think that just because this book is about counselors, it doesn’t have anything to do with your ministry. That it is about counselors means it has everything to do with your ministry.

always grows out of worldview commitments. As Christians we believe that our worldview is authoritatively informed by God’s Word, the Bible; that is to say, it is theologically informed. Counseling is, therefore by definition, a theological task. Counselors may understand that counseling is a theological task or they may not. They may be good theologians or bad ones, but make no mistake: they are theologians who are neck deep in a theological enterprise.”

No Other Gospel

31 Reasons from Galatians Why Justification by Faith Alone Is the Only Gospel As fallen human beings we are quick to deviate from the true gospel, for, as Pastor Josh Moody writes, “we tend toward human gospels.” Believers must constantly battle to maintain the purity and simplicity of the gospel. Paul was acutely aware of this as he wrote his letter to the Galatians. He was writing to an established church—experienced believers who had started to slip in their gospel witness.

Moody finds in Galatians particular relevance and parallels to many churches today. Stemming from a series of sermons delivered to his church, he examines thirty-one reasons Paul gives for this gospel. Moody writes this book with a pastor’s heart, addressing important topics such as “The Gospel, Not Moralism” and “The Use of Gospel Freedom.” Paul’s message is foundational to the Christian faith, and thoughtful readers will benefit from Moody’s exposition. “ Josh Moody’s No Other Gospel blends attention to the text, theological insight, and pastoral application in a model of Scriptural exposition. His focus on Galatians is a great choice, since

this letter addresses so clearly the nature and importance of the gospel—a critical matter in an age when so many Christians and so many churches are confused about the gospel and its centrality.”

DOUGLAS J. MOO, Blanchard Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College “ Paul’s Letter to the Galatians so strongly and passionately articulates the gospel of grace that it has proved transforming in many generations of preachers from Luther to Wesley and beyond. Here Josh Moody reinforces that heritage for the twenty-first century.”

D. A. CARSON, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “ These expositions are clear, well-organized, exegetically careful, and theologically faithful. They’re also filled with good illustrations, personal application, and a proper dose of British wit. These qualities make for very good preaching and a very good book.”

KEVIN DEYOUNG, Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ Despite all the complexities in which Galatians has been tied up throughout the years of human interpretation, it still sets up steam whenever it is read. It, of course, was the book that really kicked off the Reformation. Martin Luther called it the love of his life; it was ‘Katherina Von Bora,’ his wife. He studied it repeatedly and found in it the release of the gospel to free him from his legalism. It has done that to many another since. It was John Wesley who, through the reading of Luther’s preface to the book of Galatians, found that ‘his heart was strangely warmed.’

my suspicion is that today as never before it needs to be unleashed to our world and to our church, yet scholars know that there are many headscratching moments that it produces and that people ponder over. Our task will not be to enjoy scratching our heads together over its difficult bits but to clarify and then unleash. Like any part of the Bible, it does not need defending. ‘Defend the Bible,’ Spurgeon said once, when asked about his approach to answering difficult questions of Scripture, ‘I’d sooner defend a lion.’ As no other, this is a lion, and together we simply need to study it carefully so that we can clearly listen to it roar.”

“ In fact, I think we may take it as a rule that Galatians is one of those books of the Bible that the Devil loves to try to blunt. It is a sharp sword, and

Understanding Scripture

An Overview of the Bible’s Origin, Reliability, and Meaning Originally featured as articles in the ESV Study Bible, these eighteen essays have been repurposed and republished in a convenient format. Covering a diverse range of essential subjects, these essays provide concise studies in major issues on how to understand the Bible and its origin (canon and original languages), reliability (Bible manuscripts and archaeology), and meaning (interpreting it properly and reading it well).

Useful as both a general overview of the Bible and as a tool for more specific reference and training, readers of this book will grow in their understanding of Scripture and their ability to apply the Bible to their lives. Pastors, lay leaders, students, and other Christians engaged in studying God’s Word will benefit from this collection, written by notable contributors, including J. I. Packer, John Piper, David Powlison, and Vern Poythress.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ Skill in interpretation is needed to gain the most from the Bible. When Scriptures are read in the church, leaders can answer questions and orient listeners to its great themes. Still, people rightly desire to read and understand the Bible for themselves (Jer. 31:31–34; 1 John 2:27). “ Interpretation of the Bible requires technical skill and spiritual receptivity. Though all God’s people have a significant ability to read and understand the great teachings of the Bible in their own language (see Deut. 6:6–7; Ps. 1:1–2; 19: 7; 119:130; 1 Cor. 1:2; Eph. 3:4; Col. 4:16), there also remain more detailed and precise questions about meaning that sometimes require technical knowledge of Greek and Hebrew, as well as of Scripture’s historical, cultural, and intellectual backgrounds. Here interpretation resembles the reading of dense poetry or constitutional documents. Interpretation is also an art, mastered not by rigid adherence to procedures but by long practice conducted under tutors. Interpretation is also a spiritual task. To read the Bible is not to dissect a lifeless text that only contains marks on a page. As people read Scripture, Scripture reads them, questions them, reveals their thoughts (Heb. 4:12)—and it leads to a Person, not just truths. All Scripture points to Jesus’ death and resurrection, to forgiveness, and to personal knowledge of God through him.

“ To profit from Scripture, one must take the right posture. At one extreme, the skeptic questions and judges whatever he or she reads. At the other, the overconfident believer, convinced that he has mastered biblical or systematic theology, ignores or explains away whatever fails to support his system. Interpreters should come to Scripture humbly, expecting to learn and be corrected, willing to observe Scripture closely and accept whatever they find.”

1–2 Peter

[Series: St. Andrew’s Expositional Commentary] Peter wrote two letters to encourage churches to stand firm under persecution. The apostle Peter himself was familiar with persecution, as he probably wrote the letters from Rome, awaiting his death. From his own suffering Peter joins in fellowship with “elect exiles of the dispersion” by urging them to “rejoice, though now for a little while . . . you have been grieved by various trials.” His inspired challenges to live a life worthy of the gospel hold great relevance for us today. Pastor and scholar R. C. Sproul has preached through Peter’s letters and has now compiled these sermons into one volume. This St. Andrew’s Expositional Commentary will enable readers to glean from Sproul’s wisdom and perspective on 1–2 Peter. 6 × 9, Hardcover w/Jacket, 304 pages, 978-1-4335-2289-5 $27.99, Available Now CONTENTS (PARTIAL) 1.

FROM THE PREFACE: “ As we come to the book of Proverbs, God does not intend to crush us with layer upon layer of demand. He intends to help us. The book of Proverbs is practical help from God for weak people like us stumbling through daily life. It is his counsel for the perplexed, his strength for the defeated, his warning to the proud, his mercy for the broken. The book of Proverbs is the gospel—good news for the inept through the wisdom of Another. We have every reason to receive it with a whole heart.”

he explains how the book of Proverbs is practical help for normal people going through everyday life. Most importantly, Ortlund shows how the Proverbs point to Jesus and his counsel for the perplexed, his strength for the defeated, his warning to the proud, his mercy for the broken.

God at Work

Your Christian Vocation in All of Life [Redesign] Given the enormous amount of time humanity spends working, we would do well to understand our callings and how God works through them. In his newly redesigned book, culture expert Gene Veith unpacks the Bible’s teaching on the doctrine of vocation. He helps us to discover God’s purposes by FROM CHAPTER 1: “ It is odd that such a liberating, life-enhancing doctrine has become all but forgotten in our time, passed over in our seminaries, sermons, and Bible classes. But the doctrine of vocation makes up an important part of the spiritual heritage that contemporary Christians have, unfortunately, cut themselves off from and are in such great need of recovering. It is more than an understanding of work, more than the slogan that we should do all things for the glory of God, more than a vague theological platitude. The teachings on the subject by the old Reformation theologians are remarkably specific and realistic, giving practical guidance for how this doctrine can be lived out in the real, fallen world. But more than that, the doctrine

of vocation amounts to a comprehensive doctrine of the Christian life, having to do with faith and sanctification, grace and good works. It is a key to Christian ethics. It shows how Christians can influence their culture. It transfigures ordinary, everyday life with the presence of God.” GENE EDWARD VEITH JR. is provost and professor

Holiness by Grace

Delighting in the Joy That Is Our Strength [Redesign] “Be holy, for I am holy.” Without Christ we would hear this command and shudder. How can God expect us to be holy as he is? But thanks to what Christ has accomplished on our behalf, God accepts us because of his Son’s righteousness. Yet the call to holiness remains. In this redesigned edition, Bryan Chapell puts good works and obedience in proper perspective. He traces the relationship of holiness and grace in three parts, outlining the principles of grace, the practices of faith, and the motives of love. This book will challenge readers to discover the gracious source of joy and strength they will need for a lifelong pursuit of holiness. “ The historic Protestant doctrine is that we are not only justified by faith rather than our works, but we are also sanctified by faith rather than our works. Yet, though we give this teaching lip service, very few ministers and Christians know how grace-based sanctification really works. Bryan Chapell has produced a popular, practical, yet theologically sensitive book on this very

issue—how God’s gracious acceptance is the dynamic and guide for growth into holy character. This is a great book—an extremely timely book.”

TIMOTHY J. KELLER, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York “ What a great book! What a necessary book! What a life-changing book! A lack of God’s clear desire for holiness in his people doesn’t come from making the gospel too good . . . it comes from not making it good enough. This is the book for which I have long prayed, and I enthusiastically commend it to you.”

1:1 The book of the genealogy. The Gospel’s opening words carried special significance for a Jewish audience, whose ancestry was inseparably intertwined with the covenants God made with Israel. Jesus (Gk. Iēsous) was the historical, everyday name, and is Yeshua‘ /Yehoshua‘ (Joshua) in Hebrew, meaning “Yahweh saves” (Neh. 7:7; cf. Matt. 1:21). Christ (Gk. Christos, from Hb. mashiakh, “anointed”) points back to David as the anointed king of Israel. The designation “Messiah” came to summarize several strands of OT expectation, especially the promise of an “anointed one” who would righteously rule God’s people (2 Sam. 7:11b–16). Son of David evoked images of a

Now the birth of u Jesus Christ1 took place in this way. v When his mother Mary had been betrothed2 to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child w from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling x to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, y an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and z you shall call his name Jesus, a for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 bAll this took place c to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 18

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name e Immanuel”

Sexual unfaithfulness during betrothal was considered adultery, and under the Mosaic law carried the death penalty by stoning. divorce her quietly. Joseph intended to maintain his personal righteousness, yet he desired to show compassion even though Mary appeared to be an adulteress.

1:17 fourteen generations. Matthew does not mean all the generations that had lived during those times but “all” that he included in his list (for he evidently skipped some, such as three generations between Uzziah [Ahaziah] and Jotham in v. 9; cf. 1 Chron. 3:10–12); cf. note on Matt. 1:6b–11. Perhaps for ease of memorization, or perhaps for literary or symbolic symmetry, Matthew structures the genealogy to count 14 generations from each major section. (According to the Jewish practice of gematria, the giving of a numeric value to the consonants in a word, David’s name would add to D + V + D or 4 + 6 + 4 = 14, and David is the 14th name on the list.)

1:20 Behold represents Greek idou, used frequently by Matthew to signal emphasis, prompt the reader to pay special attention, or introduce something new or unusual. The angel of the Lord is Gabriel (cf. Luke 1:26). 1:21 The name Jesus was given to sons as a symbolic hope for the Lord’s anticipated sending of salvation through a Messiah who would purify his people and save them from oppression (see note on v. 1). But the angel points to a more important theme: to save his people from their sins. Salvation from sins was a repeated promise in OT prophets (e.g., Isa. 40:2; 53:6; Jer. 31:31–34; Ezek. 36:25–27; Dan. 9:24; Zech. 13:1).

1:18–25 The Angelic Announcement of the Conception of Jesus the Messiah. A new era in Israel’s history begins with the story of Jesus’ conception in the little town of Nazareth. The angel announces his conception (vv. 18–21), explaining that he is the prophesied Immanuel (vv. 22–23). Joseph immediately obeys the angel’s directive (vv. 24–25).

1:22 All this took place to fulfill. This is Matthew’s “fulfillment formula,” by which he points to an event or teaching of Jesus that fulfills an OT passage, indicating: (1) a direct prediction-fulfillment (e.g., vv. 22–23); (2) the intended full meaning of the OT Scripture (e.g., 5:17–20); or (3) a divinely orchestrated analogical/typological correspondence to Israel’s history (e.g., 2:15, 17–18).

1:18 Mary had been betrothed to Joseph. The custom of betrothal was different from “engagement” in modern society. Customarily the parents of a young man chose a young woman to be engaged to their son. A second stage of betrothal involved official arrangements and a prenuptial agreement before witnesses, which was a legally binding contract and could be broken only by a formal process of divorce. found to be with child. Mary is about four months pregnant, having spent three months with Elizabeth, her “relative” (Luke 1:36, 56).

Messiah with a royal lineage who would reestablish the throne in Jerusalem and the kingdom of Israel. son of Abraham. God’s covenant with Abraham established Israel as a chosen people and also affirmed that the whole world would be blessed through his line (Gen. 12:1–3; 22:18).

1:23 the virgin. The Greek word parthenos (“virgin”) corresponds to the Hebrew term ‘almah, which is used in the prophecy of Isa. 7:14 regarding the virgin birth of the coming Savior (see note on Isa. 7:14). The Hebrew word ‘almah (“virgin” or “maiden”) generally denotes an unmarried woman who is a virgin (e.g., Gen. 24:43; Ex. 2:8; Ps. 68:25). The prophecy in Isaiah 7:14

Joseph and Mary travel to Bethlehem

1:3 Tamar. The inclusion of five women in Jesus’ genealogy—Tamar, Rahab (v. 5), Ruth (v. 5), Bathsheba (“the wife of Uriah,” v. 6), and Mary (v. 16)—is unusual, since descent was usually traced through men as the head of the family. Rahab and Ruth were Gentiles, and Tamar, Rahab, and Bathsheba were women of questionable character. The lineage is comprised of men, women, adulterers, prostitutes, heroes, and Gentiles—and Jesus will be Savior of all.

Jesus’ Birth and Flight to Egypt As the time drew near for Jesus to be born, a mandatory Roman census made it necessary for Joseph to return to his ancestral home of Bethlehem. There Mary gave birth to Jesus, and later, wise men from the east came to worship him. The wise men’s recognition of a new king, however, troubled King Herod and the ruling establishment in Jerusalem, and Herod sought to kill Jesus. Joseph and his family escaped to Egypt and remained there until Herod died. When they returned to Palestine, they settled in the remote district of Galilee, where Jesus grew up in the northern village of Nazareth, to avoid the attention of the rulers in Jerusalem.

Matthew

Joseph, Mary, and Jesus escape to Egypt

1:6b–11 Matthew may have drawn from 1 Chron. 3:10–14, since both genealogies omit several kings found in the narrative of Kings and Chronicles. Omitting names in a genealogy was common to make for ease of memorization. One is struck in this section by the alternately godly and wicked kings who ruled Israel.

1:1–17 The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah. Jews kept extensive genealogies to establish a person’s heritage, inheritance, legitimacy, and rights (cf. Josephus, Life of Josephus 1–6). Matthew likely draws on the genealogies of the OT, with some omissions (see note on Matt. 1:17). He demonstrates Jesus’ legal claim to the throne of David, emphasizing Jesus’ legal descent from David and Abraham, while Luke’s genealogical record (Luke 3:23–38) emphasizes Jesus’ biological descent from David and Adam.

1:1–2:23 The Arrival in History of Jesus the Messiah. Matthew’s introduction echoes the language of Genesis. The word rendered “genealogy” (1:1) is Greek genesis (“beginning, origin, birth, genealogy”), and this is also the title of the Greek translation of Genesis, implying that it is a book of “beginnings.” “The book of the genealogy” appears to function not only as a heading for the genealogy itself (1:2–17) but also as a title for the entire story to follow: a new beginning with the arrival of Jesus the Messiah and the kingdom of God (cf. note on Gen. 2:4).

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to t the Christ fourteen generations.

N o w Av a i l a b l e from A N D R E A S J. K Ö S T E N B E R G E R A call for those in ministry and the academy to excellence in the Christian virtues

“Grounded in the biblical text and balanced by the realities of life, this clear, concise, compelling, and convicting work points the scholar to the more excellent way, where conduct in scholarship weighs as important as the content of scholarship. For those who long to see Christian graces and civility permeate the world of scholarship, this book deserves careful attention. It is not to be read and then left on the shelf, but taken to heart.” Bruce A. Little, Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Director of the Center for Faith and Culture, The Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
