Target Groups:
Evangelical Scholars; Educated Pastors; Graduate Students
One of the major flashpoints in academic biblical studies in the past 125 years has centered on the authorship and dating of the book of Isaiah. Beginning in the late 1800s, some scholars suggested that this book may have been written by multiple people over a period of centuries, a view that contrasts with the traditional one that the entire book of Isaiah was written in the eighth century BC by the Judean prophet Isaiah ben Amoz. Bind Up the Testimony brings together a variety of evangelical responses to this issue. "This is the kind of constructive exchange that can move debates about this prophetic text forward in fruitful ways." ― M. Daniel Carroll R., Denver Seminary

"Evans exposes the misuse of archaeology involved in some sensational claims about Jesus and early Christianity. Even more importantly, he shows that archaeology properly used has much to contribute to a realistic understanding of Jesus and his movement." ― Rainer Riesner, University of Dortmund This book is a collection of essays by the author from the past twenty years, revised or augmented, and including four new articles, each on various aspects of how archaeological evidence enlightens our understanding of the life and death of Jesus and the culture in which he lived. The book’s introduction explains the value of material culture (i.e., archaeological evidence) for interpreting Jesus and the Gospels and discusses the limits of such evidence. Includes several of author's own photos.

2006 (re-release June 2014)
In this refreshing and thoughtful interpretation of the biblical book of Jonah, T. A. Perry seeks to recover the book’s prophetic thrust: how Jonah is cast out from the divine Presence and works his way back—like Elijah—in a love story of rejection and reconciliation. This book explores the role reversal of Eternity and Jonah and suggests the possibility that God can not only change his mind, but even be educated.

What is the source of wisdom? What is the biblical understanding of it, and how is it revealed? In this book, T. A. Perry brings his creative impulse and critical mind to some of the most enigmatic passages of the Hebrew Bible. This book provides serious students with an insightful and incisive lens through which to interpret, among other biblical passages, the story of Judah and Tamar, the riddle proposed by Samson, and the words of Qohelet (Ecclesiastes) reflecting on the advancing years of life.

Empty Nest: What's Next?
Parenting Adult Children Without Losing Your Mind
138 pages
Publication:
September 2015
ISBN: 9781619706217
Target Groups:
Parents of adult children; Christian parents
The purpose of Empty Nest, What’s Next? is to help parents adjust to their changing roles as parents of adult children. Unlike the first eighteen years of parenting, moms and dads now take on more of an advisory role and step out of the daily hands-on instructional role. In theory, this stepping to the sidelines parenting style should lead to a simpler, less stressful life for the parents. However, real-life parenting young adults is often much more challenging than all the earlier years put together. Combine young adult immaturity with a dangerous world, and parents frequently find themselves beset with worry, fear, and anxiety. Intellectually letting go is one thing; emotionally letting go is much more difficult, especially when the consequences are adult sized.

This collection of sermons preached throughout Spurgeon's 40-year ministry offers treasures of wisdom for Lent, Easter, Christmas, and throughout the year.

Where's God on Monday? A Theology of Work Project title
148 pages
Publication:
December 2015
ISBN: 9781619707078
Target Groups:
White/blue collar professionals; Pastors; Globally/gender diverse
This book introduces readers to a basic biblical theology of work. Written in fourteen engaging chapters, each one is followed by questions and exercises for small group or individual reflection. This work straddles the divide between theological reflection and practical application in the everyday. In Alistair’s research over the years, he discovered that many people were looking for an easy to read book on the subject, but not one that was lightweight or lacking in credible biblical and theological content. Most treatments were too heavy, academic, long, and inaccessible, or they were largely anecdotal. Where’s God on Monday? is short enough for people to read in an afternoon, written in accessible language for the average person in the pews, yet thoughtful enough to be used as a text in Bible colleges.

Dante's Divine Comedy in the Novels of C.S. Lewis
330 pages
Publication:
October 2015
ISBN: 9781619706651
Target Groups:
Lewis or Dante fans, scholars and critics; Interest in literature, writing
Nine chapters cover all of Lewis’s novels, from Pilgrim’s Regress and his science-fiction to The Chronicles of Narnia and Till We Have Faces , demonstrating how C. S. Lewis’s novels reveal his admiration for Dante’s Divine Comedy . Throughout his career Lewis drew on the structure, themes, and narrative details of Dante’s medieval epic to present his characters as spiritual pilgrims growing toward God. Lewis made astonishingly creative use of Dante’s medieval portrayal of sin and sanctification, of human frailty and divine revelation, for the benefit of his modern audience. Readers will gain new insight into the sources of Lewis’s literary imagination that represented theological and spiritual principles in his clever, compelling, humorous, and thoroughly human stories.

The emergence and widespread acceptance of the validity of the charismatic experience has generated many questions. One of the foremost is, “What happened to the gifts of the Spirit after the New Testament period?” Dr. Ronald Kydd’s careful probe seeks to answer that question. After a thorough and careful study of the writings of the early church fathers, Dr. Kydd provides an objective, informative analysis, and reaches thought-provoking conclusions. “What emerges from a study of the sources is the picture of a Church which is strongly charismatic up until around A.D. 200.”

2004 (paperback edition-April 2016)
ISBN: 9781619707399
Target Groups:
Scholars; Educated pastors and laity; Seminary students; Teachers
In Transformations , Neusner reasons that the Jewish canonical writings—the Hebrew Bible, Mishnah, Talmuds, and the Midrash—illustrate Judaism’s response to three major crises—the destruction of Solomon’s Temple by Nebuchadnezzar, the destruction of Herod’s Temple by the Romans, and the acceptance of Christianity as the state religion of Rome—which significantly shaped their religion. Instead of succumbing to defeat and despair, Judaism arose from each crisis as a result of its religious leaders’ reinterpretation of its sacred texts. The result was that they discovered a truth both continuous with the past and responsive to the unanticipated crisis—a truth that carved out a path for the future. This process, represented in the Jewish canon, continues to define modern Judaism.

Target Groups:

Emil Brunner (1889–1966) is one of the “Three Bs” (Barth, Brunner, and Bultmann) who shaped Christian theological studies in the twentieth century. He and Karl Barth are the undisputed champions of the theological revival known as neo-orthodoxy, and the two of them did more than any others to prepare for the resurgence of historical biblical Christianity in the Western world today. Brunner was part of the wrecking crew that dismantled the house of liberal theology with its humanistic view of Jesus Christ, its optimistic view of man’s goodness, and its progressive idea of history as inevitably leading to the kingdom of God.

Target Groups:

Karl Barth (1886–1968) is perhaps the most influential Protestant theologian of the twentieth century. He has been called a modern “church father,” who belongs in the list of the most illustrious theologians in the history of Christianity. The whole course of modern theology changed direction because of his work. In this book, Dr. Mueller does an excellent job of confronting us with Barth himself, his theological development, the central convictions that dominate his work, his major concerns, and his creative treatment of difficult areas. Primary emphasis is given to Barth’s treatment of the doctrine of revelation and the knowledge of God. Mueller also discusses Barth’s christocentric approach to theology, especially as it is seen in the doctrines of election, creation, man, and reconciliation.

Target Groups:
Scholars; Educated pastors and laity; Seminary students; Teachers
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) has influenced the entire post-World War II era with his life and legacy. Executed in a Nazi concentration camp, he has attained international recognition and fame. His prison experience resulted in writings focused on contemporary and future challenges facing the Christian church. For him, a Christian was called to participate in the suffering of God in the secular life, to be “a person for others.” “Who is Christ for us today?” was his insistent question. Interest in Bonhoeffer remains at a high peak. This volume by Dallas Roark shows how Bonhoeffer has influenced both conservative and liberal wings of Christianity as well as secularists, and how he remains a source of inspiration for all Christians who suffer under oppressive political regimes.
