Dear Colleagues:
L arger Pr i n t ESV Study Bible ®
Welcome to Crossway’s 2011 catalog of academic and pastoral resources, featuring the Crossway ESV Bible Atlas. John McRay, professor emeritus of NT and archaeology at Wheaton College, tells us he has never seen a Bible atlas “comparable to this in the breadth of material, the depth of coverage, and the outstanding quality of its impressive and abundant maps and photos.” James Hoffmeier, professor of OT and Near Eastern Archaeology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, writes, “I highly recommend this marvelous resource.” Check out the presentation of this new reference work on the page facing this one. As you peruse these pages, you’ll find three new books by D. A. Carson: Collected Writings on Scripture (p. 3), Evangelicalism (p. 15), and Scandalous (p. 19). You’ll also discover an important volume by John Piper, Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God (p. 9), not to mention a trade paper edition of his acclaimed What Jesus Demands from the World (p. 26). Among our new offerings in the fields of biblical and systematic theology are Fred Zaspel’s The Theology of B. B. Warfield: A Systematic Summary (p. 5), the first attempt to derive from Warfield’s voluminous writings a systematic theology; and James Hamilton’s God’s Glory in Salvation through Judgment: A Biblical Theology (p. 7). Interviews of Zaspel and Hamilton augment our presentation of these two releases. Note as well the second volume in the innovative Theology in Community series edited by Christopher Morgan and Robert Peterson, The Glory of God (p. 16). So much more could be highlighted for you, but I won’t deprive you of the delights of discovering many more gems for yourself. My colleagues and I hope to see you at the ETS and SBL annual meetings in Atlanta in November. You won’t want to miss Crossway’s exhibit at each event!

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). 1:1–17 The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah.

Crossway ESV Bible Atlas “ A remarkably beautiful and rich resource for historical, geographical, and archaeological background material that will deepen our understanding of each section of the Bible and increase our appreciation of the Bible’s amazing historical accuracy.”
Wayne Grudem, Research Professor of
Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary
“ An indispensable companion for Bible students, fulfilling every expectation you might have of such a tool. Particularly innovative is the use of terrain imagery to facilitate the reader’s understanding of such biblical viewpoints as that of Abraham from Hebron over the cities of the plain or Moses from Mt. Nebo.”

FROM THE PREFACE: “ As any student of Scripture quickly learns, the Bible was not written in a vacuum. Its books are set in specific geographic locations in the Near East during specific times in history, and these factors greatly affect how a book should be understood and interpreted. At the same time, the authors of Scripture often assumed their audiences already understood the context in which their messages were set (since that was the audiences’ context as well), so they did not bother to describe these details fully in their books. “ Today, of course, we live in a very different context, both geographically and historically, from that of the original audience of Scripture. We cannot rely on our experience alone or even on careful study of Scripture alone to fill in these details. Instead, we must look to other resources that accurately describe the Bible’s background
and help to re-create its context in our minds. The Crossway ESV Bible Atlas has been created for this very purpose.
Part 3: Regional Geography of the Biblical World Part 4: Appendixes and Indexes
“ The Crossway ESV Bible Atlas strives to offer students of the Bible a comprehensive collection of highly accurate, aesthetically appealing resources that present geographical and historical information in a way that is easy to use and that will not overwhelm the reader with technical detail at unnecessary places. Incorporating and expanding upon the maps and other resources originally developed for the ESV Study Bible, the Crossway ESV Bible Atlas utilizes maps, narrative description, photographs, comprehensive indexes, and 3D re-creations of biblical objects and sites to help the reader gain a clearer understanding of the world of the Bible and the meaning of Scripture.”

John S. Feinberg and Paul D. Feinberg
Ethics for a Brave New World (2nd Edition, Updated and Expanded) Aldous Huxley’s 1932 book Brave New World foresees a world in which technological advances have obliterated morality and freedom. John Feinberg and Paul Feinberg, in the first edition of Ethics for a Brave New World, noted how Huxley landed frighteningly close to the truth. Their book responded to ethical crises such as abortion, euthanasia, and capital punishment by looking to Scripture for principles to guide us through the moral quagmires of our time.
6 × 9, Paperback, 800 pages, 978-1-58134-712-8 $35.00, Available November 30, 2010 Contents 1. Moral Decision-making and the Christian 2. Abortion 3. Abortion (II)
Now dramatically updated and expanded, this edition of Ethics for a Brave New World seeks to maintain the relevance, rigorous scholarship, and biblical faithfulness of the first edition. While many of the topics covered in the book remain the same, John Feinberg has revised each chapter to keep it current with contemporary trends and to respond to the most recent scholarship. A new chapter on stem cell research examines the medical science of embryonic stem cells and their potential uses for cures and disease prevention. Feinberg systematically addresses specific arguments against the use of embryonic stem cells. He ultimately concludes that
“while the goals of this technology are praiseworthy, the means are not.” Expanded material on homosexuality looks at the topic in light of several passages of Scripture, particularly 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, 1 Timothy 1:8–10, and Genesis 1–2. Feinberg moves on to address the issue of the origins of homosexuality, drawing helpful definitions and distinctions in the debate. He finishes by addressing arguments surrounding the topics of homosexuality and biology and genetics. Though by no means exhaustive in scope, this second edition incorporates and examines much of the latest, most important research pertaining to the topics it covers. Readers will find a concise, careful, and biblical treatment of the ethics of abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, human sexuality (including reproductive technologies), homosexuality, genetic engineering and stem cell research, divorce and remarriage, Christianity and warfare, and Christianity and the secular state.

FROM THE PREFACE TO THE 1st EDITION: “ Within our lifetime developments in technology have brought staggering changes to the way people can be conceived, born, healed, or die. And prospects for the future are as mind-boggling as what has already happened. Ethics intends to set forth what ought to be, not what is. But it should help us evaluate the rightness or wrongness of what is and tell us how to act in light of it. Unfortunately, changes in what ‘is’ in modern life have far outdistanced reflection upon how we ought to live in such a time. This seems to be especially true among Christian ethicists, though even secular ethicists disagree about how we should live in this changing world.
15. The Christian and the Secular State
“ So much is changing today in regard to the control of life and death and the understanding of human sexuality. Most of the developments in technology could not have been foreseen nor addressed by writers of Holy Scripture. Because of this, some may think it impossible to address these topics from a Christian perspective. We strongly disagree. Though Scripture never addresses directly many of the topics covered in this book, it sets forth enough principles about life and death, human sexuality and a citizen’s relation to government that it is possible to evaluate contemporary practices in light of biblical teaching. Moreover, it is not only possible to address these matters biblically—it is mandatory to do so.”
JOHN S. FEINBERG (PhD, University of Chicago) is chair of the department of biblical and sys-
tematic theology and professor of biblical and systematic theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is the author of No One Like Him: The Doctrine of God.

D. A. Carson
Collected Writings on Scripture “ In recent decades Carson’s voice has been among the most forthright, consistent, rigorous, faithful, and compelling in serving the vital divine end of testifying to Scripture’s veracity. This book guides readers to the priceless destination of confidence in God’s Word through refutation of its critics and commendation of its truth.”
Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary “ As a young theological student I wrestled with the authority and inerrancy of Scripture. No one helped me more to understand what Scripture teaches about itself than D. A. Carson. His insightful essays and incisive reviews preserved and shaped my doctrine of Scripture. I rejoice to see some of those older essays (along with some new essays and reviews) presented together in one place, for the issues of yesterday are not dramatically different from what we face today, and Carson’s words continue to speak powerfully to our contemporary situation.”
Thomas R. Schreiner, James
Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“ Carson courteously but persuasively reveals the weaknesses of arguments designed by critics to discredit or render obsolete the historic teaching of the Western Christian churches, namely, biblical inerrancy. This book is a masterful, must read for those persons who want to understand better the nature of Scripture’s authority.”
John D. Woodbridge, Research
Professor of Church History and Christian Thought, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“ The church has always had eloquent defenders of the truthfulness of the Scriptures and of the God who inspired them. In our time, Carson is one such figure; and in this volume the reader will find many of his most significant essays on Scripture. Scholarly, reverent, carefully argued, and generously footnoted, these pieces all make important contributions to current debates; and taken as a whole, they admirably expose the problems of the revisionism offered by certain voices within the church while pointing readers to a better way.”
Carl R. Trueman, Professor of Historical Theology and Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary
“ On few subjects is this more obviously true than with regard to one’s doctrine of Scripture. In this skeptical age it is doubtful if an articulate and coherent understanding of the nature of Scripture and how to interpret it can long be sustained where there is not at the same time a grasp of the biblical view of God, of human beings, of sin, of

The Theology of B. B. Warfield A Systematic Summary [Foreword by Sinclair B. Ferguson] “ Z aspel has culled from the great mass of Warfield’s writings the actual text of his statements in one book of Reformed theology. In this form Warfield may enjoy a renewed effectiveness for our age. With great enthusiasm I highly recommend this volume and hope it will receive a wide reception.”
Roger Nicole, Professor of Theology
Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando
6 × 9, Hardcover, 624 pages, 978-1-4335-1395-4 $40.00, Available September 30, 2010 Contents 1. Historical Context
“ B. B. Warfield’s distinguished achievements as a systematic theologian have been obscured by the episodic, ad hoc publication of his major theological statements. But even if Warfield did not think it was necessary that he write a single connected systematic theology, it is nonetheless most welcome that Fred Zaspel has done the job for him! The result is a very useful compendium that gives both admirers and detractors of Warfield a full and coherent account of his theology in toto.”
Mark Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame
“ In this work Zaspel has produced a work of historical and theological synthesis which sets Warfield’s thought in context and also offers a comprehensive account of his thought on the major loci of theology and the controverted points of his day.”
Carl R. Trueman, Professor of Historical Theology and Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary
“ S erious Christians who have dipped into Warfield find his writings to be a wholly admirable mix of rigorous exegesis, mature theological synthesis, and frank devotion to Christ. Much of his work is known only to specialists, not least because when Warfield first published it, it was scattered over many journals and books. Zaspel’s book remedies the problem admirably: one hopes and prays that it will entice a new generation of readers to delve deeply into Warfield’s contributions.”

FROM THE PREFACE: “ [Warfield’s] writings are widely diverse, filling many thousands of pages spread over many hundreds of articles, books, pamphlets, and book reviews, and covering virtually the entire spectrum of Christian theology. Since his own day many have wished that he had produced a systematic theology of his own. Yet no one has attempted to bring his work together in such an order. . . .”

But to view Warfield’s theology from a global perspective, students heretofore could only set themselves to the daunting task of reading many thousands of Warfield pages. It is to assist in that task that this book has been written.”
“ It is ironic that B. B. Warfield is both appreciated and neglected. He is appreciated in that he still speaks with commanding authority, and scholars today continue to reference him accordingly. But he is neglected in that he is seldom read fully. Of course there have been a few who have sought to provide holistic analysis of his doctrine of inspiration, and there has been some interest in his

Crossway Interview with Fred G. Zaspel Crossway: Provide a brief biography of Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield. Why is he important? Fred Zaspel: Warfield was born in 1851 and died in 1921. He graduated from what is now Princeton University at age nineteen at the top of his class. He then graduated from Prince ton Seminary, where he studied under the renowned Charles Hodge and his son Caspar Wistar Hodge, both of whom Warfield loved and admired deeply. After a few stints as stated supply pastor in various churches, Warfield began his teaching career as professor of New Testament at Western (now Pittsburgh) Seminary in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and then for more than thirty years famously occupied the prestigious chair of theology at his alma mater, “Old” Princeton Seminary. His teaching and extensive writing established him as the high-water mark of that institution, already long recognized as a land of theological giants. While many details about his life and family background are of interest, Warfield’s life is really a story of theology, a story told in the many thousands of pages that came from his pen. This is his legacy. C: What was your purpose in writing this book? FZ: I have long admired Warfield. His exegetical skills are first-rate, and his theological exposition, as someone has said, is but exegesis of the superlative sort. And—something too little recognized about Warfield—his heart was as massive as his mind, and his passion for Christ pulses through his works. He truly was a gospel-centered Christian. Yet, because his works were largely “occasional” and are so voluminous, few people have been able to gain a holistic appreciation of him. He deserves a new hearing, and I was eager to bring him back from the dead, as it were. His work has been of greatest benefit and enrichment to me, and I wanted very much to give others a taste of the same. C: Warfield’s works touched on the full spectrum of theological topics. What is he best known for? FZ: In the same sense that Augustine is known as the theologian of sin and grace, Anselm as the theologian of the doctrine of satisfaction, and Luther as the theologian of justification, Warfield is known as the theologian of inspiration. He did not invent the doctrine, of course, but his brilliant and extensive exposition of it
w w w. c r o s s way. o r g
was a landmark. Evangelical expositions of the doctrine since have added very little to what Warfield had to say a hundred years ago. And certainly no opponent of Warfield’s doctrine of inspiration—and with it, inerrancy—can claim to have made his case until he has taken War field into account. It is ironic, but I am certain that Warfield would not have considered this doctrine his “center,” and, contrary to popular opinion, this was not the subject of his most extensive writings. It was a fundamental issue, of course—the issue of the day. His contribution on it was so massive and so historically significant that this is how he is remembered. C: How does Warfield’s emphasis on the “supernaturalism of Christianity” summarize his theology and career? FZ: The “enlightened” world of his day was decidedly naturalistic, even anti-supernaturalistic, and the Christian faith was being stripped of its pervasively supernatural character. For Warfield this got to the very heart of all the errors being introduced to the church. The character of Scripture, the roles of God in creation and providence, the question of miracles, the incarnation, the Christian life itself—these all were at stake. If, in order to satisfy the demands of the secular world, we strip away the supernatural elements of the faith, we reduce Christianity to something other than what Jesus and the apostles founded, and we in the end lose the gospel itself. This was a hot button for Warfield. He would say to his students in class, “Gentlemen, I like the supernatural!” C: Warfield is described as a polemic theologian in your book. In what ways was he polemic? FZ: Warfield stood at a critical juncture in Christian history when the Christian faith was under attack on virtually every front. He rose to meet those challenges in a way that was almost without precedent. His learning was as broad as it was deep, and he was eager to answer the critics on any ground they chose— historical, exegetical, theological, form critical, Old Testament, New Testament, whatever. Many others in his day fought these same wars valiantly, but none with the breadth and depth of Warfield on such a variety of fronts.
Warfield’s understanding of “right reason” in the context of apologetics. I point this out in my book, as well as some other areas of misunderstanding. But, to answer your question, I might have to say, surprisingly, that it is his doctrine of inspiration. This doctrine has fallen on hard times in some quarters of evangelicalism, and I have often wondered whether some theologians have ever read Warfield or, if they have, understood him. Remarkably, at least one theologian has attempted to use Warfield’s arguments to support a kind of qualified doctrine of errancy—something Warfield specifically repudiates with vigor. Very honestly, I have often gotten the sense that more theologians reference Warfield than read him. His position is known, but his extensive arguments do not seem to have received the notice they deserve. C: You quote Francis Patton’s memorial address of Warfield: “Patton proceeded to speak of the continuing effort of the church to construct a perfect theology, and said ‘I venture the prediction that some of the choicest stones in that new building will be those which have been hewn and shaped in the Warfield quarry.’” What do you hold to be some of Warfield’s greatest contributions to theology? FZ: Well, certainly the doctrine of inspiration. This will no doubt continue to be his lasting and most outstanding contribution. His argument for the cessation of the miraculous gifts has been extraordinarily influential also. His insight in recognizing the pervasive supernaturalness of the Christian faith is something that would benefit every Christian. And certain aspects of his exposition of the doctrine of the Trinity, such as the gospel-centeredness of its revelation, are theologically insightful and devotionally enriching. But his own “center” and his own area of greatest attention was the person and work of Christ, and his writings particularly on the incarnation and the two natures of Christ provide a treasure of exegetical gold and theological depth. This is certainly an area where Warfield deserves a new hearing.
C: In your opinion, what theological arguments of Warfield’s have been most misunderstood today? FZ: Many have completely misunderstood

James M. Hamilton Jr.
God’s Glory in Salvation through Judgment A Biblical Theology
In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God’s glory, and God reveals himself as a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of Scripture under one central theme: God’s glory in salvation through judgment. Hamilton’s book begins with definitions of terms and the phrase, “God’s glory in salvation through judgment.” He discusses the importance of a theological center in the Bible and covers the criteria for a center of biblical theology. The first chapter also asses other proposed centers to biblical theology.

The book then looks systematically at each book of the Bible, presenting evidence of Hamilton’s proposed theological center. He follows the Hebrew order of the Old Testament, moving through the Torah, Prophets, and Writings. Beginning with the story of the fall, Hamilton demonstrates how “the wide angle story of the Old Testament is one of salvation through judgment.” Israel is saved through God’s judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites. God’s people are ultimately saved through their judgment in the exile as God
promises to preserve a remnant for his name’s sake. Hamilton then progresses to the New Testament, highlighting the center of biblical theology in the Gospels, Acts, the Letters, and finally in Revelation. “God’s glory in salvation through judgment” is shown most clearly in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The death of Christ is presented as “the deepest, darkest moment of the exile” and the inauguration of the return of God’s people. Hamilton demonstrates that the Bible ends with a picture of Christ’s glorious return, bringing ultimate salvation for his people through the final judgment of the world. The book ends with a chapter responding to objections to Hamilton’s center of biblical theology, including responses by I. Howard Marshall and Ben Witherington, and a chapter detailing implications for ministry, touching on topics such as evangelism, discipleship, corrective church discipline, and prayer.

Crossway Interview with James M. Hamilton Jr. Crossway: What separates your book from other biblical theologies? What makes it unique? James Hamilton: Scope, organization, and argument. There have been several recent attempts at Old Testament or New Testament theology, but relatively few attempts at wholeBible theology. Going book by book from Genesis to Revelation, I attempt a canonical biblical theology that is sensitive to the literary features the authors used to communicate their message. Along the way my thesis is that the Bible itself has a main point, or centerpiece: “the glory of God in salvation through judgment.” C: What was the most challenging aspect of writing this book? JH: Trying to present the best evidence for my thesis in concise and convincing discussions. The Bible has more evidence that the “glory of God in salvation through judgment” is the center of its theology than I could include in the book, and what I have written could be expanded in so many ways—more arguments from the text for the interpretive moves I’ve made, more arguments from the text for the general interpretive perspective I’ve adopted, and of course there is always more secondary literature that could be engaged. But the book is long enough! I wanted the agenda to be set by the biblical text, not by the secondary literature. Choosing what to include, how to structure it, and when to move on was often agonizing. C: Give a brief explanation of the meaning of the phrase “salvation through judgment for the glory of God.” JH: Individually: Everyone who receives God’s mercy has been saved through judgment. God can show mercy because he demonstrated his justice when Jesus died on the cross. In addition to this external event, born-again people have experienced the internal realization that God’s judgment was against us. The devastating holiness of God’s righteousness obliterated our self-reliance, and through that judgment we were forced to the conviction that the satisfaction of God’s wrath at the cross is our only hope. We are saved through judgment—the judgment that fell on Christ and the judgment that crushes our self-righteousness. Corporately: God saved Israel through the judgment of their enemies (Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, Babylonians, etc.). And
w w w. c r o s s way. o r g
this isn’t limited to Israel. The Bible indicates that when Jesus returns, he will save his people by judging those who have afflicted his people. So salvation comes through judgment for individuals and for the people of God as a whole, and in this God shows his glory by revealing his justice and his mercy. The world was built to be a cosmic stage for the demonstration of God’s righteousness and love. God shows his glory by orchestrating a drama that spans world history on the cosmic stage, and God’s ultimate purpose is for the Grand Production to display the severity of his justice in order to highlight the kindness of his mercy. In plot and purpose the big story of the Bible centers on the glory of God in salvation through judgment. C: What do you mean by the phrase “the center of biblical theology”? JH: The word “center” is a figurative way to describe the most ultimate, most foundational, most enlightening, and most important theme in the Bible. This theme is all of these things because it is what the Bible presents as God’s ultimate purpose, and at the same time it is like a constant drumbeat introduced by Moses, taken up by the prophets and sages, and carried forward by the apostles and other New Testament authors. It is like the sun in the solar system of the Bible’s themes. At every turn the glory of God’s mercy shines new over the dark horizon of his justice. Just as we see by the light of the sun, so too understanding that God’s purpose is to show his glory—chiefly in displays of justice and mercy—enables us to see the Bible’s other themes more clearly. This sun not only radiates God’s glory, it holds the planets in orbit. As the energy flows out from the sun, so the creative impulse flows out from God. Every one of the Bible’s themes exposits and feeds back into the “glory of God in salvation through judgment.” C: What are some of the implications this center of biblical theology has for church ministry? JH: Understanding the Bible’s plot and purpose enables us to know what God is doing and how he is doing it, giving insight into God’s ways and character. When we understand that God shows his glory in mercy and justice by saving through judgment, we will be liberated to disagree with evil—even vehemently—liberated to identify sin, liberated to call people to repentance, liberated to say that the wages of sin is death,
liberated to look death in the face and dare it to do its worst because through the judgment of death God has worked salvation in Christ, triumphing over death and freeing believers from its power. C: What are some of the objections to your thesis that you address? JH: The book addresses implicit and explicit objections. Implicitly, I am arguing against a host of suggestions that the Bible is incoherent, that its descriptions of God are inconsistent, that some depictions of God in the Bible are to be rejected because they show a malevolent deity unworthy of worship, that the biblical authors disagreed with one another, and so on. These implicit objections are addressed as I seek to show from the evidence that the first biblical author on record, Moses, received a revelation from God himself in which God declared his own name and defined himself as a saving and judging God (Ex. 34:6–7). From there, I argue that every one of the biblical authors learned this understanding of the nature of God from Moses, and that they are all in agreement as to what the world is for, the role humans play in God’s plan, what has gone wrong, and how God will show his glory by saving through judgment. So, implicitly, I am arguing that the biblical authors are all in agreement, that later biblical authors (in the OT and the NT) have correctly interpreted earlier Scripture, that the Bible presents a God who is worthy of worship, and that biblical theology is coherent. As for explicit objections, in the first chapter I seek to show the validity of evangelical approaches to biblical theology and interact with some objections to the idea that there can be one central theme. Some of these issues resurface in chapter 8, where I interact with objections raised by I. Howard Marshall and Ben Witherington III. Marshall graciously responded to my thesis when I first presented it at the Biblical Theology Study Group of the Tyndale Fellowship in the summer of 2004, and he allowed me to quote from his response, generously reading and offering helpful feedback on the first draft of chapter 8. Witherington’s comments were made on his blog in response to his reading of Tom Schreiner’s New Testament Theology, which argues that the center of New Testament theology is the glory of God in Christ through the Spirit.

Histories and Fallacies
Problems Faced in the Writing of History “ 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, Professor of Church History and the History of Christian Thought, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Contents 1. The Denial of History 2. Grand Schemes and Misdemeanors 3. The Past Is a Foreign Country 4. A Fistful of Fallacies
Histories and Fallacies is a primer for those seeking guidance through conceptual and methodological problems in the discipline of history. 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 looking at the issue of objectivity in history in chapter 1. He explores the notion that no history can be neutral
by looking at the phenomenon of Holocaust Denial. He ultimately concludes that an important distinction needs to be made between objectivity and neutrality in history. In chapter 2 he continues to detail issues surrounding interpretative frameworks, using an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of Marxism as an example. Chapter 3 looks at the problem of anachronism, particularly as it pertains to the history of ideas. Trueman 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.” Emphasizing 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.
FROM CHAPTER 1: “ One of the popular clichés of contemporary culture is that all truth is relative. As one pop song once expressed it: ‘This is my truth, now tell me yours.’ This relativism has manifested itself within the historical profession over recent decades in terms of a rising epistemological skepticism, if not nihilism, that has tended in the most extreme cases to make all narratives simply projections of the present-day circumstances and opinions of the historian. This has been fueled in part by the impact of some trends in continental philosophy and literary theory, and also by an increasing realization that the historian’s situatedness, choice of subject, selection of evidence, etc., all have an impact on the nature of the historical narrative that is being constructed. It is now generally accepted that no history is ‘neutral,’ in the sense that it just gives you the facts. Said
facts are selected and then fitted together into a narrative by historians who have their own particular viewpoints and their own particular ways of doing things. . . . “ But does this acknowledgement that no history is neutral therefore require that all histories are, ultimately, biased to such an extent that we must acknowledge the validity of all? . . . “ It is in this context that an important distinction needs to be made: the distinction between neutrality and objectivity. Only when this distinction is understood can we begin to see how we can acknowledge the valid insights of much modern and postmodern critical thinking about the practice of history while yet avoid the kind of epistemological anarchy that some would wish to see wreak havoc.”

John Piper
Think
The Life of the Mind and the Love of God [Foreword by Mark Noll] “ Piper’s outstanding book Think promises to shepherd a generation about the Christian commitment to the life of the mind. Deeply biblical and uniquely balanced, Think practices what it preaches: it is an accessible, intellectually rich study that calls the reader to renewed love for God and others.”
“ John Piper offers much wise advice on the importance of Christian thinking as a way of loving God with our minds and as part of delighting in God above all things.”
J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology; author, Kingdom Triangle
“ Thinking—the alert, meticulous, probing, logical, critical use of the mind—will be a highway either to godliness or to its opposite, depending on how it is done. Taking leads from Edwards, John Piper surefootedly plots the true path here. His book should be, and I hope will be, widely read.”
“ An essential dimension of Christian discipleship is the life of the mind, and this may well be the most neglected Christian responsibility of our times. God has made us intelligible creatures, and he has given us the stewardship of intellectual faculties that should drive us to think in ways that bring him greatest glory. In this new book, John Piper provides brilliant analysis, warm encouragement, and a faithful model of Christian thinking. This book is a primer for Christian thinking that is urgently needed in our time.”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ This book is a plea to embrace serious thinking as a means of loving God and people. It is a plea to reject either-or thinking when it comes to head and heart, thinking and feeling, reason and faith, theology and doxology, mental labor and the ministry of love. It is a plea to see thinking as a necessary, God-ordained means of knowing God. Thinking is one of the important ways that we put the fuel of knowledge on the fires of worship and service to the world.

above all things, and by living in a way that shows he is our supreme treasure. . . . “ Therefore, the main reason God has given us minds is that we might seek out and find all the reasons that exist for treasuring him in all things and above all things. He created the world so that through it and above it we might treasure him. The more we see of his surpassing greatness and knowledge and wisdom and power and justice and wrath and mercy and patience and goodness and grace and love, the more we will treasure him. And the more we treasure him, the more he is consciously and joyfully glorified. The point of this book is that thinking is a God-given means to that end.”

[Series: Theology in Community] “ The glory of God, celebrated by angels but often lost on the church today, is here restored to our vision.

“ There is no theme more central to the message of Scripture than the glory of God. He created the world so that his name would be glorified in and by the things he made, and he has saved us so that we might glorify him in eternity. It is a focus that a self-centered generation badly needs to recover, and the contributors to this volume have given us a wonderful introduction on which to base our reflections and our worship.”
“ This talented team of writers demonstrate how focusing on the all-encompassing theme of God’s glory impacts our thinking about God, the self, and the world, including questions regarding meaning, purpose, and salvation. These explorations provide us with a more in-depth appreciation of how the glory of God has been emphasized in Scripture and how it has been interpreted in church history. In addition, we are presented with an overarching and powerful portrait of God’s grandeur, beauty, and transcendence. I am pleased to recommend this outstanding volume to students, lay leaders, pastors, and theologians alike.”

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ Over the centuries of the Christian tradition, many theologians have spoken of the glory of God. They tend not to spend their energy on this topic defining it. Biblical scholars, in fact, may be better suited for the task. Where theologians do spend their energy, at least some theologians, that is, is in thinking about how the glory of God functions in one’s theology, how the glory of God functions methodologically in theological construction and discourse. “ In short, theologians who have a sense of the gravitas of the glory of God, who spend time and energy reflecting on the glory of God before they embark on their theological task, are better theologians. It may also be true that pastors who have a sense of the gravitas of the glory of God and spend their time reflecting on the glory of God are better pastors. And it may be further true
that Christians, the faithful in the pew, who have a sense of the gravitas of the glory of God and spend time reflecting on the glory of God are better Christians. “ The glory of God is the compass that keeps all our theologizing, pastoring, and Christian living oriented in the right direction—toward God and not toward ourselves. The pull in the opposite direction is so strong that the psalmist repeats: ‘Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory’ (Ps. 115:1).”

The Heresy of Orthodoxy
How Contemporary Culture’s Fascination with Diversity Has Reshaped Our Understanding of Early Christianity [Foreword by I. Howard Marshall] “ The Bauer thesis, taken up in many university circles and popularized by Bart Ehrman and through TV specials, has long needed a thorough examination. The Heresy of Orthodoxy is that work. Whether looking at Bauer’s thesis of diversity, contemporary use made of the theory to argue for the early origin of Gnosticism, the process that led to the canon, or the manuscript evidence, this study shows that Bauer’s theory, though long embraced, is full of problems that need to be faced.”
Darrell L. Bock, Research Professor of New Testament, Dallas Theological Seminary “ In the beginning was Diversity. And the Diversity was with God, and the Diversity was God. Without Diversity was nothing made that was made. And it came to pass that nasty old ‘orthodox’ people narrowed down Diversity and finally squeezed it out, dismissing it as heresy. But in the fullness of time (which is of course our time), Diversity rose up and smote orthodoxy hip and thigh. Now, praise be, the only heresy is orthodoxy. As widely and as unthinkingly accepted as this reconstruction is, it is
historical nonsense: the emperor has no clothes. I am grateful to Köstenberger and Kruger for patiently, carefully, and politely exposing this shameful nakedness for what it is.”
D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “ The Heresy of Orthodoxy will help many to make sense of what is happening in early Christian studies today. It explains, critiques, and provides an alternative to the so-called ‘Bauer thesis,’ an approach that undergirds a large segment of scholarship on early Christianity. The authors do more than expose the faults of this doctrine, they point the way to a better foundation for early Christian studies, focusing on the cornerstone issues of the canon and the text of the New Testament.”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ What is truth? In a world in which at times right seems wrong—or even worse, where the lines between right and wrong are blurred to the point that we are no longer sure if there even is such a thing as right and wrong—Pilate’s question to Jesus takes on new urgency. Instead, all truth, including morality, becomes perspectival and subjective, a matter of nothing but personal preference and taste. In such a world, like in the days of the judges, everyone does what is right in his or her own eyes, but unlike in the days of the judges, this is not meant as an indictment but celebrated as the ultimate expression of truly enlightened humanity. All is fluid, doctrine is dead, and diversity reigns. . . . We live in an age that prides itself on its independence, rejection of
authority, and embrace of pluralism. Truth is dead; long live diversity! “ In this topsy-turvy world of pluralism and postmodernity, where reason has been replaced as the arbiter of truth by perspectivalism and the unfettered and untouchable authority of personal experience, conventional notions are turned on their head. What used to be regarded as heresy is the new orthodoxy of the day, and the only heresy that remains is orthodoxy itself. . . . The new orthodoxy—the ‘gospel’ of diversity—challenges head-on the claim that Jesus and the early Christians taught a unified message that they thought was absolutely true and its denials absolutely false.”

War, Peace, and Christianity
Questions and Answers from a Just-War Perspective “ Charles and Demy have authored a book that carefully and clearly offers answers to some of the most important questions of our time concerning justice, war, and pacifism. Unlike some other Christian authors who approach these and similar questions, Charles and Demy maintain that justice, rather than the mere absence of conflict, should be the working principle that animates both citizen and soldier.”

“ Charles and Demy have done a masterful job not only of posing the most important moral questions surrounding war but also of proposing trenchant and sophisticated answers to these questions firmly grounded in the naturallaw tradition. As if that were not reason enough to purchase the book, the added benefit for theologians, church historians, ethicists, religious educators, and seminarians is that both authors, who write as evangelicals, find that the notion of natural law is resolutely affirmed in the work of the Protestant Reformers, who
themselves were deeply concerned about issues of just governance, legitimate authority, civil society, and the common good, in addition to matters of faith, the church, and ecclesiastical culture. This book’s treatment of these issues and far more is itself an excellent example of the equity that the authors think is characteristic of the just-war tradition.”
Stephen J. Grabill, Senior Research Scholar in Theology, Acton Institute for the Study of Religion “ As one who has written about just-war theory in the media during times of conflict, I find it refreshing to be able to recommend a book that explains that just war is not a theory that gives license to the use of violence, but one that attempts morally and responsibly to address the issue of the proper use of force. This book is well done and repays the time one gives to grapple with the difficult area of human conflict.”
Darrell L. Bock, Research Professor of New Testament, Dallas Theological Seminary
FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ Because issues of war and peace are literally issues of life and death, the tragedy of war must be neither forgotten nor minimized. Surely, conventional wisdom is not far from the mark in reminding us that the horrors of war are the closest approximation to hell on earth. War changes lives forever in ways that are otherwise unthinkable; hereon both secular and religious viewpoints agree. As seen from a wider religious and JudeoChristian perspective, war entails the death and killing of people who are fashioned in the likeness of their Creator and who therefore possess inherent dignity and incalculable worth. Yet, the very same Weltanschauung affirms that war is sometimes necessary. “ Few (if any) world-and-life views eschew war in all circumstances, and no faith tradition is mono-
lithic in its dogma and practice regarding war and peace. This is certainly the case with Judaism and Christianity, whose values have undergirded our own cultural tradition. Throughout its millennialong history, the Judeo-Christian moral tradition has justified, rationalized, restrained, and informed war, the conduct of warfare, and the conditions for peace. In various times and by diverse means, it has both upheld and departed from biblical standards, and both ecclesiastical and secular leaders have appealed to its teachings for national guidance and support. . . . “ To understand properly the mainstream of the classic just-war tradition is to appreciate the theoretical and moral-philosophical assumptions that undergird the tradition.”

Louis Markos
Apologetics for the Twenty-first Century “ Louis Markos has joined the top rank of commentators on the work of C. S. Lewis and is a powerful apologist for the Christian faith in his own right. His command of the two great streams of Western thought—Christianity and classics—has enabled him to develop a winsome, sophisticated, and convincing body of work.”
Robert B. Sloan Jr., President, Houston
Baptist University
“ Louis Markos has done us a great service by posting Lewis’s work in dialogue with the issues of the day, some which were surely contemporaneous with the Oxford pundit and some coming to prominence a bit later, though still issues he would have enjoyed engaging. This volume will help readers see how Lewis would have dealt with the issues of our day. In the end, it will remind readers of the vitality of the claim that the Christian faith is true.”
C. S. Lewis, he makes the rational case for faith with potency and aplomb. Mirroring the Bible in its structure, Apologetics for the Twentyfirst Century begins with an ‘old testament’ (part 1) in which the works of those latter-day prophets, Chesterton, Lewis, and Sayers, lay the foundation for the ‘new testament’ (part 2) in which today’s apologists defy and defeat the ‘new atheists’ and other fashionable dragons.”
Joseph Pearce, Writer-in-Residence and Associate Professor of Literature, Ave Maria University; author, C. S. Lewis and the Catholic Church “ Professor Markos uniquely weaves together theology, literature, history, science, and philosophy to produce a work of apologetics that is both erudite and thoroughly accessible.”

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ These then represent the core doctrines of the Christian faith, doctrines which receive clear expression in the creeds of the church and which comprise the basic tenets of what C. S. Lewis famously dubbed ‘mere’ Christianity. From the time of the apostles, the main task of the apologist has been to defend these doctrines from detractors both within and without the church.

The Legacy of the King James Bible
Celebrating 400 Years of the Most Influential English Translation Originally published in 1611, the King James Bible (KJB) remains the most recognizable piece of literature in the English-speaking world today. For over three centuries, it served as the standard English Bible and has, as such, exerted unparalleled influence on English and American culture in nearly every sphere— including education, law, literature, government, art, science, and religion. The Legacy of the King James Bible honors the 400th anniversary of the KJB’s publication by telling its story—a drama that starts with the pioneering work of William Tyndale and progresses through half a dozen other popular translations.

The book begins with a brief history of the making of the King James Bible. The translation is traced from its earliest roots up through its actual publication in 1611. Part 2 of the book outlines the influence of the KJB on the history of Bible translation, language, education, religion, and culture. Ryken explores its influence in part by taking random “snapshots” of various aspects and institutions of our culture and society, noting in them the presence or influence of the KJB.
Ryken then moves into an analysis of the KJB as a work of literature. He begins with a chapter on what makes an English Bible literary. Though he has worked and published extensively on the topic, readers will here find a succinct introduction. The book continues with chapters on the prose and poetic effects in the KJB and a record of how the literary establishment has celebrated and welcomed the KJB through the centuries. The book ends with a section examining the literary importance of the KJB. Before tracing the influence of the KJB through the centuries, Ryken provides “an anatomy of the specific ways in which the Bible functions in works of literature where an author has made it a part of the work.” He then moves on to outline the influence of the KJB, from its early days through the nineteenth century and the modern era.

FROM THE PREFACE: “ The book that you are holding in your hands has been occasioned by the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. My primary purpose in writing the book is to provide information about the King James Bible and its influence. . . . “ I have not regarded it as a leading purpose to praise the King James Bible. Its nature and legacy speak for themselves. What is in danger of being lost (or has already been lost) is the story of what the King James Bible is and how it has influenced the English-speaking world. We do not need adulation of the King James Version; we need knowledge of the things that have produced the adulation through the centuries. . . .

“ We live in an era of revisionism and debunking. This has predictably infiltrated attitudes toward the KJB. If for no other reason that it is the most influential and revered English Bible that has ever existed, the King James Bible is on the ‘hit list’ of cultural revisionists. As I read the statements of debunkers of the KJB, I am at a loss to ascertain what it is that these writers have against the King James Bible, with the possible exception of the King James Bible’s being ‘sonorous.’ I am reminded of a statement that C. S. Lewis made about the sixteenth-century’s humanists: they jeer but do not refute.”

Evangelicalism
What Is It and Is It Worth Keeping? What defines today’s evangelicals? Is the term evangelical even useful anymore? In Evangelicalism D. A. Carson first defines the nature of the evangel itself. “The approach to evangelicalism that begins with the evangel must of course wrestle with what the evangel is, with what the gospel is,” writes Carson. “The advantage is that we can then turn to Scripture to argue the point—something that cannot be done when we are trying to define evangelicalism without rigorous reference to the evangel.”
Christian experience, he argues that the issues at stake in the Reformation are far from settled, and that, therefore, contemporary debates about the Reformation should not be silenced. Throughout this seminal book, Carson systematically demonstrates evangelicalism’s continuing relevance as well as Christianity’s need for its scripturally defined and biblically faithful boundaries.
Instead of relying on definitions such as David Bebbington’s quadrilateral of evangelical priorities, Carson uses a biblical/theological foundation rooted in Paul’s description of the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15. Establishing that the euangelion is Christological, biblical, historical, theological, apostolic, heraldic, and personal, this noted New Testament scholar explores these fundamental characteristics and how they can guide a working definition of evangelicalism at large.

FROM THE BOOK: “ The current penchant for examining what ails evangelicalism cannot reasonably proceed unless there is agreement on what evangelicalism properly is. In many quarters, this prior question as to evangelicalism’s identity is answered using exclusively historical and sociological criteria. We might, for example, define evangelicalism by examining the beliefs and conduct of those who call themselves evangelical, whether now or in the past: those who call themselves evangelicals are evangelical. Others, not least in some elitist circles in the northeast, think of evangelicalism as a movement for ignorant religious hicks who may not be easily distinguished from jihadists: evangelicals are at least potentially dangerous, the Protestant equivalent of the Taliban.
“ By contrast with both of these approaches, if evangelicalism is defined first of all with reference to what the ‘evangel’ (the gospel) is, without overlooking historical and sociological considerations, the pool of ‘evangelicals’ is simultaneously reduced and enlarged: it is reduced, because many people call themselves evangelicals who have no real connection with the evangel, and it is enlarged because some evangelicals (on a theological definition) avoid applying the label to themselves because they dislike its current use (on a sociological and historical definition): they prefer to think of themselves as ‘Lutheran’ or ‘Reformed’ or something else.”

“ By way of brief summary, the need for the publication of a second edition so soon after the first arose on account of the following factors. “ First, we wanted to incorporate the many constructive suggestions for additions we received from a variety of sources. Second, a steady stream of publications on marriage and the family has continued to appear, and we wanted to keep our volume up to date. Third, controversy erupted on several of the topics addressed in our book, such as divorce and remarriage and singleness. This, too, called for an update. Fourth, there were certain smaller but important topics we did not explicitly or extensively address in the first edition, such as parenting teens, that upon further reflection seemed to merit more extended treatment, and we have added such in the second edition.
The author does not avoid controversial issues, but in each case he treats the issues fairly with ample explanation of alternative views.”
Wayne Grudem, Research Professor of Bible and Theology, Phoenix Seminary, Phoenix, AZ
“ A treasure trove of biblical wisdom on matters pertaining to marriage, child-rearing, singleness, and sexuality. As Western society struggles to hold on to its social identity, this study reaffirms God’s will for self-understanding and family ties. Readers seeking the whole counsel of God on these matters will find enormous assistance here.”
Robert W. Yarbrough, Associate

“ The book is especially valuable because it is remarkably clear and comprehensible, while at the same time reflecting deep and responsible research. I consistently found the conclusions to be sound and biblically faithful.”
Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“ In addition, the last few years witnessed the growth of a movement related to marriage and the family sometimes called the ‘family-integrated church approach’ that requires evaluation from a biblical and theological perspective. Admittedly, adjudicating the strengths and weaknesses of any new movement such as this is not an easy task, in part because the movement is anything but monolithic and also because any such assessment calls for the application of biblical principles and the judicious evaluation of a variety of hermeneutical, theological, and cultural factors. Nevertheless, we felt that we should attempt such an assessment, however preliminary, in order to provide some much-needed guidance in this eminently vital area of church life.”

Michael A. G. Haykin
Rediscovering the Church Fathers
Who They Were and How They Shaped the Church While the church today looks quite different than it did two thousand years ago, Christians share the same faith with the church fathers. Although separated by time and culture, the early church’s experience and teachings still hold great importance and relevance in modern times. This book is an introduction to the church fathers from ad 100 to 500. Michael Haykin surveys the lives and teachings of a number of church fathers, looking at their role in the spread of the gospel and their teaching on such topics as martyrdom and apologetics. Haykin begins with a brief introduction to the church fathers, including historical background. He continues chronologically as he offers an overview of Ignatius of Antioch. Haykin traces the origins of the term martyr as he outlines the work of Ignatius in response to the spirit of his age.
an analysis of the lives and influence of Origen, Cyprian, and Ambrose. We know more about certain figures in the early church than others. Basil of Caesarea is one of those figures, and Haykin devotes a chapter to a description of his life. He writes, “Basil became a leading figure in the establishment of monastic communities, which he sought to model after the experience of the Jerusalem church.” Haykin concludes the book with a chapter on the story of St. Patrick bringing the gospel to Ireland and a chapter on why the Church Fathers are important and relevant to modern readers. The careful research of this volume is evident in extensive footnotes. 6 × 9, Paperback, 160 pages, 978-1-4335-1043-4 $16.99, Available March 31, 2011
The book continues by describing the rise and role of apologetics in the early years of the church, particularly as demonstrated in The Letter to Diognetus. Apologetics leads to the topics of exegesis and piety as Haykin turns to

Contents 1. Rediscovering the Church Fathers
FROM CHAPTER 2: “ Our word martyr is derived from the Greek martys, originally a juridical term that was used of a witness in a court of law. Such a person was one ‘who has direct knowledge or experience of certain persons, events, or circumstances and is therefore in a position to speak out and does so.’ In the New Testament the term and its cognates are frequently applied to Christians, who bear witness to Christ, often in real courts of law, when his claims are disputed and their fidelity is tested by persecution. “ The transition of this word within the early Christian communities from ‘witness’ to what the English term martyr entails is an excellent gauge of what was happening to Christians as they bore
witness to Christ in the first century. In Acts 1:8 Jesus tells the apostles that they will be his ‘witnesses’ (martyres) in Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. At this point the word does not have the association of death, although in Acts 22:20 we do read of the ‘blood of Stephen,’ the Lord’s ‘witness,’ being shed. But it is really not until the end of the writing of the New Testament canon that the term martys has acquired the association with death. . . . The word martys seems thus to have acquired its future meaning first in the Christian communities in Asia Minor, where the violent encounter between church and empire was particularly intense.”

Bradley G. Green
The Gospel and the Mind
Recovering and Shaping the Intellectual Life “ In this perceptive, thoughtful and very readable book, Green shows that historic Christian witness is always accompanied by an intellectual awakening. Where the Christian life is authentically present, it proves to be intrinsically fruitful for education because to be a Christian, essentially, is to think as well as act in a new way. Anti-intellectualism, by contrast, is a sign that full obedience to the gospel is lacking. Green provides a very helpful perspective on what has become a central issue for the Church in our time.”

W (Part 2): Toward a Christian Understanding of the Word and of Words 6. T he Moral Nature of Knowledge and the Human Heart
“ Green asks why so little is written on the relationship between the cross and the life of the mind. His book is a riveting response to this lack. In an age when post-modernism seems to have reinforced the oft held notions that the human mind and knowledge are unimportant, we need some guidance on the authentic Christian attitude to both. With a focus on creation and the cross, Green’s study looks at the relationship between biblical Christianity and the human intellectual endeavor. He argues with great clarity that the postmodern age is no
longer interested in knowledge, and that only by a return to the Christian view of both past and future can the present have real meaning. This is a much needed and timely response to the contemporary Zeitgeist.”
Graeme Goldsworthy, Visiting Lecturer in Hermeneutics, Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia
“ Readers who take up and read The Gospel and the Mind will discover a patient, methodical, and exceedingly well-informed treatise on the intellectual life. Green’s book succeeds where many books on the ‘Christian mind’ or ‘Christian worldview’ fail.”
Peter Leithart, Pastor, Trinity
Reformed Church, Moscow, IA; contributing editor, Touchstone magazine
FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ Two interrelated truths began to impress themselves upon my mind: (1) our alienation and hostility toward God as sinners includes the alienation and hostility of our minds; (2) it is through the cross that this alienation and hostility is overcome. As I began to think through this, I realized that the seeds of a radically evangelical approach to the intellectual life were present. If in his death Christ redeemed all of who we are, that must include our intellectual life. Christ did not die to redeem part of us, but to redeem all of who we are—including our minds. “ In one sense this monograph is an attempt to explicate this fundamental insight and to wrestle with the question: what does the gospel have to
do with the intellectual life? Hence the main title of this book, The Gospel and the Mind. The title comes from my interest in exploring the relationship between the atonement and the life of the mind—triggered at least in part by meditating on Colossians 1:21–22. The outline of this book was essentially generated in an afternoon at my office at Union University. However, the argument of the book extends beyond the question of the cross (narrowly considered) to include five main interrelated Christian theological themes and their relation to the intellectual life: (1) the realities of creation and history; (2) the notion of a telos or goal to all of history; (3) the cross of Christ; (4) the nature of language; (5) knowledge, morality, and action.”

Scandalous
The Cross and Resurrection of Jesus “ Carson’s clarity in communicating Scripture is a great gift, and in this book he gives it to us. This professor can preach. These are model messages on crucial passages. They are delicious meditations that instruct our minds and feed our souls. Biblical content—straight, ripped, hard, solid—this is what Carson gives us about Christ’s cross and resurrection. Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest.”
Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC
“ A rich, thoughtful, and theologically honest introduction of the person and work of Jesus. With the biblical fidelity, clarity, and wisdom we have come to expect from his writings, Carson provides a treatment of the ironies of the cross not merely as a literary device but as a powerful analysis of the subversive, upside-down nature of the cross; namely, the powerful, redeeming, trusting king of the universe becoming a powerless, marginalized, and crucified savior. He believes that Jesus cried, ‘My God! I am forsaken?’ so that for all eternity we will not have to be. This is a scandalous picture of Jesus’ loving act of self-identification and self-donation for the godforsaken. We are grateful for his fruitful labors in showing
us the irony of the mocked king who really is the king, not only for the Jews but also for the entire world.”
Stephen T. Um, Senior Minister, Citylife Presbyterian Church, Boston; President, Center for Gospel Culture “ There is no Christianity apart from the death of Christ on the cross and his resurrection from the dead. Carson helps us to more clearly understand the passion of the cross and the triumph of the resurrection. What a gift to every follower of Christ.

FROM THE PREFACE: “ Nothing is more central to the Bible than Jesus’ death and resurrection. The entire Bible pivots on one weekend in Jerusalem about two thousand years ago. Attempts to make sense of the Bible that do not give prolonged thought to integrating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are doomed to failure, at best exercises in irrelevance. Jesus’ own followers did not expect him to be crucified; they certainly did not expect him to rise again. Yet after these events their thinking and attitudes were so transformed that they could see the sheer inevitability that Jesus would die on a cross and leave an empty tomb behind, and absolutely everything in their lives was changed.
“ However much the Bible insists on the historicity of these events, it never treats them as mere pieces of raw data—admittedly, rather surprising raw data—the meaning of which we are free to make up for ourselves. It is as important to know what these events mean as to know that they happened.

“ This little book is a modest attempt to summarize not only what happened but also what they mean—in short, to provide an introductory explanation of the cross and resurrection. I do this by unpacking what some of the earliest witnesses of Jesus’ death and resurrection wrote.”

“ Sanders has a gift for making the deep things of theology—in this case, the doctrine of the Trinity—clear and compelling rather than shallow and simplistic. This is as good an introduction to the essentially Trinitarian shape of evangelical faith and practice of which I’m aware. Every evangelical should be able to explain how the gospel is Trinitarian and the Trinity a summation of the gospel, and Sanders shows us how. He makes a convincing case that there is nothing wrong with the evangelical church in North America that a good dose of Trinitarian theology, if absorbed into the bloodstream of the body of Christ, could not cure. So take, drink, and prepare to be edified.”
“ Sanders demonstrates how the Trinity is at the heart of the gospel and the foundation of the Christian life, and makes his case by bringing forward distinctly evangelical voices. But this is no book of abstract theology: Sanders’s work is lively, engaging, and accessible. He explains in terms anyone can understand that we are immersed in the reality of the triune God. There is no better guide I know of to explore the deep things of God than this book, and it deserves a wide and serious hearing by pastors, theologians, and laymen alike.”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ The central argument of this book is that the doctrine of the Trinity inherently belongs to the gospel itself. It is not merely the case that this is a doctrine that wise minds have recognized as necessary for defense of the gospel, or that a process of logical deduction leads from believing the gospel to affirming the doctrine of the Trinity, or that people who believe the gospel should also believe whatever the God of the gospel reveals about himself. No, while all those statements are true, they do not say enough, because there is a Trinity-gospel connection much more intimate than those loose links suggest. Trinity and gospel are not just bundled together so that you can’t have one without the other. They are internally configured toward each other. Even at risk of
being misunderstood before the full argument emerges in later chapters, let me say it as concisely as possible: the gospel is Trinitarian, and the Trinity is the gospel. Christian salvation comes from the Trinity, happens through the Trinity, and brings us home to the Trinity. “ Because the gospel is Trinitarian, evangelicals as gospel people are by definition Trinity people, whether or not they think so. It only makes sense that if the gospel is inherently Trinitarian, the most consistently and self-consciously Trinitarian movement of Christians would be the movement that has named itself after the gospel, the evangel: evangelicalism.”

The Evangelicals
What They Believe, Where They Are, and Their Politics “ Bright, breezy, and wearing his learning lightly, historian Catherwood has crafted a most illuminating cross-sectional review of the global evangelical movement as it is today. I found it unputdownable; I think many others will too.”
J. I. Packer, Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College
“ A good book to give those who know of this purportedly weird tribe only from sensationalistic news stories. Christopher Catherwood’s easy-to-read style makes this introduction to evangelical thought and practice like a cup of chamomile tea at bedtime—and it won’t produce any nightmares.”
Marvin Olasky, Provost, King’s College, New York City; Editor-in-chief, World “ An eye-opening, stereotype-destroying account of worldwide evangelicalism. Catherwood demonstrates the breadth and dynamism of evangelicals and paints a quite different—and more accurate—picture of them than that often still embraced by secular academics and the
secular media—and at times by evangelicals themselves.”
Steve Monsma, Research Fellow, Henry

“ Christopher Catherwood knows history, but not the dry and dusty kind. This book tells a living story in a lively way. It is a kind of ‘editorial meets story time.’ Christopher has all that you need to write a compelling book—style and information, specific examples and opinions. And he knows everyone! So this is not a dry ‘book for the ages’; this is a book for today. If you want to know who evangelicals are and what they’re about, this book will tell you—and this man knows what he’s talking about.”

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ This . . . is the major divergence between evangelicals and other Protestants: we still hold to those two Reformation truths of sola fide and sola scriptura, which, as one of evangelicalism’s best-known advocates, John Stott, has argued, is no more or less than mainstream Christianity, the beliefs of the Christians of the first century when the faith began. “ Needless to say, those not of evangelical persuasion would disagree! We often read of the ‘old mainstream denominations’ in the United States, usually with the word ‘decline’ not far away, as if they were the mainstream and evangelicalism were some new and aberrant form of belief. But if one looks at what the so-called mainstream churches believe, they are more significant for what they no longer believe than what they still do.
ents would want to have us suppose. . . . Liberal theology has not entered Protestantism only, but Catholicism as well, as the works of many an American or British Catholic reveal. And in that sense, therefore, one could argue legitimately that liberal Catholics and liberal Protestants have more in common with each other than they do with more conservative believers within their own nominal camps. Increasingly, as the influential American magazine First Things (one read by many Catholics and evangelicals) has suggested, ‘Protestant versus Catholic’ is no longer as meaningful a distinction as once existed, since liberals in both camps are now more in line with secular modernity and thus with nonbelievers.”

Meaning at the Movies Becoming a Discerning Viewer
“ A thinking person’s guide to movie watching. Its most obvious virtue is its scope. The early chapters establish a biblical and theological foundation on which the rest of the book rests. Building on this foundation, the author covers a tempting menu of movie genres from comedy to romance to dark film. Illustrations are drawn from a seemingly inexhaustible reservoir of movies from over half a century of film history.”

“ Film is the most powerful image of itself that humanity has ever produced. No one would deny that books, art, music, politics, social consciousness, and so forth are significant, but film is the one ‘cultural location’ where all of these other categories may meet and have a discussion. In film, all the varied and disparate elements of the human experience come together and talk with each other. . . . In some ways, film has helped create modernity itself, as it is a highly technological, mass-culture medium of art and philosophy, appealing to several senses, and embodying the spirit of its own age—an age that it helped to usher in.”
“ Horner is unusually—perhaps uniquely—positioned to pen a volume such as this, given his expertise, passion, and experience as a theologian, a worldview scholar, a remarkable wordsmith, and a film aficionado. Engaging, balanced, nuanced, and thoroughly biblical—indeed, a book deserving of your time and your confidence. All of that and a great read, as well.”

“ I want to examine in this book what I explored with Ardel Caneday in a more thorough way in a book titled The Race Set Before Us. Why is another book necessary if a previous book has already been published? First, the length and comprehensiveness of the previous book have been off-putting to some, and as a result the thesis of the book has not been accessible to all. . . . Second, some have misunderstood what we were arguing for in The Race Set Before Us. Despite what we specifically set forth in the book, some have thought that we were proposing works-righteousness, an unreachable perfectionism, or even that true believers could fall from salvation by committing apostasy.”

Michael Lawrence
Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church A Guide for Ministry
“ Following in the footsteps of Geerhardus Vos and Edmund Clowney, Michael Lawrence has provided us with a masterly study that relates biblical theology to systematics, and then applies both to the ministry of the church. This skillfully executed integrative approach breaks new ground in the practical application of biblical theology.”
Graeme Goldsworthy, Visiting Lecturer in
Hermeneutics, Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia
FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ As church leaders, you and I are faced with problems and questions every day that require us to turn to the Bible for answers, guidance, and wisdom. Along with prayer, the Bible is the most important and the most fundamental tool we’ve been given for the work of pastoral ministry. . . . How do you answer the question, ‘What is the Bible?’ The answer I’m really concerned with isn’t the one you learned in seminary or Sunday school, but your working answer. I’m asking how you use the Bible day in and day out in your ministry because that will show what you really think the Bible is.”
“ Studies on the relationship of theology to ministry seem to be quite rare. What is desperately needed is a work that recognizes the significance of the work of theology for ministry, while simultaneously recognizing the importance of doing theology for the church. Michael Lawrence has brilliantly met this need in this clearly written and compelling volume, which envisions afresh the work of pastor-theologians.”
David S. Dockery, President, Union University MICHAEL LAWRENCE (PhD, Cambridge University) is senior pastor of Hinson Church in Portland, OR. He is coauthor, with Mark Dever, of It Is Well: Expositions on Substitutionary Atonement.

David K. Clark
To Know and Love God
Method for Theology [Series: Foundations of Evangelical Theology] [Hardcover Edition] “ Clark deftly works his way through the traditional issues pertaining to theological method, yet he does so with an eye to our postmodern, multicultural, and spiritually starved situation. He makes a compelling case that cultivating and embodying the wisdom of God for daily living really is the most compelling case that pursuing excellence in theology is the best way to embark on the project.”
Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of
Theology, Wheaton College Graduate School
FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “ Evangelical systematic theology is this: it is the science by which evangelical believers learn of God. It is rooted in the Bible and focused on Christ. Through this knowledge, the Spirit transforms us into followers of Christ and forms us into Christian communities, awakening in us the wisdom of God that leads to genuine worship and cultural transformation. Through theology we know and love God.”
w w w. c r o s s way. o r g
“ Clark sets forth a wide-ranging, constantly centrist, moderately technical, analytically alert demonstration of the what, why, and how of the evangelical theological task, interacting at each stage with rival positions. No comparable across-the-board vindication of evangelical mental method exists; this is a landmark book.”

David Helm, Pastor, Holy Trinity Church, Chicago, IL FROM CHAPTER 1: “ This book teaches us how to live for God and not just for ourselves. It gives us some of the basic principles we need to build a God-centered worldview, like the goodness of creation and our own absolute dependence on the Creator. Then, on the basis of these principles, Ecclesiastes gives many specific instructions about everyday issues like money, sex, and power.

As an attempt to address this problem, this short book provides an opportunity to explore the four Gospels and compare their contents in a largely non-technical way. . . .

R. C. Sproul
Acts
[Series: St. Andrew’s Expositional Commentary] Promises for the series:
About the series:
“ Sproul’s ability to focus on the big picture, his genius of never saying too much, leaving his hearers satisfied yet wanting more, never making the Word dull, are all present in these expositions.”
Bridging the gap between the academy and everyday life, R. C. Sproul’s wisdom and insight as a prominent teacher has been widely sought. After his appointment as senior minister of preaching and teaching at ST. Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, Florida, Sproul determined that he would practice expository preaching as he worked his way through books of the Bible. He has now turned these sermons into volumes for a wider audience.
Sinclair B. Ferguson, Professor of Systematic Theology, Redeemer Seminary “ Sproul, well-known as a master theologian and extraordinary communicator, now shows that he is a powerful, insightful, helpful expository preacher. This collection of sermons is of great value for churches and Christians everywhere.”
W. Robert Godfrey, President, Westminster Seminary California “ I am ecstatic at the prospect of reading the St. Andrew’s Expositional Commentary series. It represents Reformed theology on fire, delivered from a pastor’s heart in a vibrant congregation of our time. Essential reading.”
Derek W. H. Thomas, John E. Richards Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
The St. Andrew’s Expositional Commentary series is the result of years of careful preparation and Bible-centered preaching. Balancing broad and narrow perspectives of each Bible passage, Sproul explores important theological terms and themes, offers his perspective from his own wisdom and experience, and engages in practical application. Sproul here applies this expositional method to the book of Acts. The story of Gentiles coming to faith and being grafted into God’s people is our story, for in Luke’s account we find the origins of our faith in the early church. Sproul presents the book as “a drama of the highest magnitude—the drama of the obedience of the early church to their mission that Christ had given to them.”

FROM CHAPTER 1: “ The prologue acts as a preface, and the preface is setting before us the purview of the author, the things he is going to select from the narrative of the early church. Through the rest of the book he talks about the apostolic witness to the kingdom of God. The theme of Acts is this: the church’s obedience to Christ’s commission and commandment to be his witnesses as the ascended King, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. If you wonder why the first-century church turned the world upside down and why we do not, it is because they preached the kingdom of God, and we do not. . . .

“ A whole new chapter of world history began with the ministry of Christ and with his ascension to the right hand of the Father, where he is enthroned as the King. One of the worst distortions of theology that plagues the evangelical world is the idea that the kingdom of God is something completely future. . . . “ Yes, the consummation of the kingdom is still in the future, but the reality of the kingdom is now. The mission of the early church was to bear witness to the reality of that kingdom in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth.”

What Jesus Demands From the World [Paperback Edition]
“ This is now my favorite book by John Piper. In the best tradition of Adolf Schlatter’s Do We Know Jesus? and his ‘hermeneutic of perception,’ What Jesus Demands from the World has changed my life and will certainly change yours because it is based on the pure words of Jesus as revealed in the four Gospels. A must-read for every true follower of Christ.”
Andreas J. Köstenberger, Professor of New Testament and Director of PhD Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary FROM THE INTRODUCTION: 6 × 9, Paperback, 400 pages 978-1-4335-2057-0 $17.99, Available January 31, 2011
“ How then do we keep the beauty of God in proper focus in relation to Jesus’ commandments? By treating the meaning and motivation of the commands in connection with the person and work of Jesus. The person and work of Jesus are the primary means by which God has glorified himself in the world. No revelation of God’s glory is greater. Therefore, my aim has been to probe the meaning and the motivation of Jesus’ commands in connection with his person and work. What emerges again and again is that what he is commanding is a life that displays the worth of his person and the effect of his work.”
“ John Piper reveals in his ‘Word to Biblical Scholars’ his familiarity with the literature and subject matter of the life and teachings of Jesus, and in his comments on the individual demands of Jesus he applies them to everyday living.”
Robert H. Stein, Senior Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“ Under the relentless pressures and pains of everyday life, Calvin came to see the truth and comfort of the absolute sovereignty of God over all things and in all things. All things is not a throwaway phrase—for the apostles or for Calvin. All things means there is a lifetime of laboring to be done—and more—in discovering the full-orbed gloriousness of the gospel in the Scriptures and then applying it to everything. . . . The Reformation was already making its initial world-changing surge as Calvin came into adulthood. But the emerging Reformation triumph. . . would need a lifetime of investment to merely begin developing the implications—implications for everything.”

Amazing Grace

Far from engaging in cold analysis, however, he emphasizes that grace “is something to be received, expeFROM THE PREFACE: “ As wonderful as grace is, it has provoked some of the most heated controversies in the history of the Christian church. In this study, we shall look at some of these debated questions while never losing sight, I trust, of the reality we’re discussing: God’s free and sovereign favor to ill-deserving sinners. God’s great ocean of truth is so much deeper than our finite minds can fathom. I am keenly aware that there is much more to be said about grace than I have been able to say in this brief study.”

Does God’s goodness mean that his actions will always seem good to me? If we had only a list of attributes, we would not have a very good idea of how these work out day by day. But stories! With these we can see how God’s qualities are demonstrated in perfect balance, governed by his wisdom and holiness, in numerous situations.”

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

Joseph intended to maintain his personal righteousness, yet he desired to show compassion even though Mary appeared to be an adulteress.
with the Davidic throne (v. 6) as well as the rightful legal heir to the covenant promises related to the Abrahamic seed and land (vv. 1–2).
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

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.
The Birth of Jesus Christ
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 Greek Aram; also verse 4 2 Asaph is probably an alternate spelling for Asa; some manuscripts read Asa; also verse 8 3 Amos is probably an alternate spelling for Amon; some manuscripts read Amon; twice in this verse 4 Greek Salathiel; twice in this verse
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.

Dear Colleagues:
L arger Pr i n t ESV Study Bible ®
Welcome to Crossway’s 2011 catalog of academic and pastoral resources, featuring the Crossway ESV Bible Atlas. John McRay, professor emeritus of NT and archaeology at Wheaton College, tells us he has never seen a Bible atlas “comparable to this in the breadth of material, the depth of coverage, and the outstanding quality of its impressive and abundant maps and photos.” James Hoffmeier, professor of OT and Near Eastern Archaeology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, writes, “I highly recommend this marvelous resource.” Check out the presentation of this new reference work on the page facing this one. As you peruse these pages, you’ll find three new books by D. A. Carson: Collected Writings on Scripture (p. 3), Evangelicalism (p. 15), and Scandalous (p. 19). You’ll also discover an important volume by John Piper, Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God (p. 9), not to mention a trade paper edition of his acclaimed What Jesus Demands from the World (p. 26). Among our new offerings in the fields of biblical and systematic theology are Fred Zaspel’s The Theology of B. B. Warfield: A Systematic Summary (p. 5), the first attempt to derive from Warfield’s voluminous writings a systematic theology; and James Hamilton’s God’s Glory in Salvation through Judgment: A Biblical Theology (p. 7). Interviews of Zaspel and Hamilton augment our presentation of these two releases. Note as well the second volume in the innovative Theology in Community series edited by Christopher Morgan and Robert Peterson, The Glory of God (p. 16). So much more could be highlighted for you, but I won’t deprive you of the delights of discovering many more gems for yourself. My colleagues and I hope to see you at the ETS and SBL annual meetings in Atlanta in November. You won’t want to miss Crossway’s exhibit at each event!

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). 1:1–17 The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah. Jews kept extensive genealogies to establish a person’s heritage, inheritance, and rights TruTone, Walnut,legitimacy, Frame Design (cf. Josephus, Life of Josephus 1–6).978-1-4335-2393-9 Matthew likely draws on the genealogies $89.99 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 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
