Baptism is an important experience for all Christians. This pamphlet will enrich your understanding of the meaning and significance of baptism. Learn about: different traditions of baptism; why some Christian groups baptize infants, and why others only adults; what the difference is between immersion, sprinkling, and pouring; and the symbolism that points to Christ’s death and resurrection.
Esther’s story asks the important question: Where is God when things go wrong? It’s easy to characterize Queen Esther as the lucky orphan girl who won the heart of the king. But in reality, she was a young woman with a tragic background and dangerous secret that could cost her the lives of her family, as well as her own. She was married to King Ahasuerus (King Xerxes), who destroyed peoples’ lives on a whim and had a history of killing people close to him. Worse still, the king’s favorite counselor and chief advisor, Haman, was a mortal enemy of Esther and Mordecai’s family. Esther had to keep a low profile, keeping her secret and hoping her enemy wouldn’t make the connection. For Esther, life was unfair. But her story brings a message of hope to all who face trouble by showing how God works even through the fears and dangers. There can be happy endings in perilous times! This basic overview of Esther and the biblical and cultural insights is fantastic for a Queen Esther Bible study, Sunday school class, or small group discussion. Who really wrote the Gospels? Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? Or were they written by people who were utterly unconnected with the eyewitnesses as some books and TV shows claim? Were they written centuries after Jesus’ death and resurrection, long after Jesus’ followers had died? Were there other gospels initially included in the New Testament and later removed?

Why be a Christian when there are so many hypocrites in churches? Women played many crucial roles in the New Testament.

In Uncluttered, one woman shares her family’s humorous, authentic, and relevant journey from a life of stress, stuff, and exhaustion to one of peace, space, and fulfillment.

Using real-life examples from years of working with families in this season of life, the authors illustrate common issues that can send a family into serious issues: unhealed sibling rivalries, parental favoritism, greed, secrecy, and fear of initiating necessary conversations. Readers will learn how to spot potential problems before they become crises and prevent or rectify them in their own families. They’ll learn what documents everyone needs, how to work with forgiveness, how to speak truth in love, and how to let go. Most importantly, readers (both adult children and their parents) will gain tools to create their own winwin solutions that keep parents safe and autonomous and family love intact. Although Carolyn Miller Parr and Sig Cohen come from different faith traditions (Carolyn is Christian and Sig is Jewish), both are deeply committed. As a result, Love’s Way is both spiritual and practical. It overflows with advice readers can immediately begin to apply, with stories from the authors’ fifteen years as co-mediators, writers, speakers, and personal experiences as caregivers to their own aging parents. Carolyn Miller Parr is a retired judge, mediator, writer, and public
speaker. She graduated from Stetson University (BA), Vanderbilt (MA English), and Georgetown Law (JD). Since 2002, Judge Parr has practiced peacemaking through her mediation practice Beyond Dispute and Tough Conversations with Sig Cohen. Author resides in Annapolis, Maryland.
Sig Cohen is a retired Foreign Service officer, fundraiser, and community organizer, and now serves as a mediator. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (BS) and the University of Chicago (MA in International Relations). Author resides in Washington, DC.

AVAILABLE MARCH 2019 A HANDBOOK ON THE JEWISH ROOTS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH EDITED BY CRAIG A. EVANS AND DAVID MISHKIN This is a comprehensive handbook that serves as an introduction to the Jewish roots of the Christian Faith. It includes Old Testament background, Second Temple Judaism, the life of Jesus, the New Testament, and the early Jewish followers of Jesus. It is no longer a novelty to say that Jesus was a Jew. In fact, the term “Jewish roots” has become something of a buzzword in books, articles, and especially on the internet. But what does the Jewishness of Jesus actually mean, and why is it important?

REL006210 RELIGION / Biblical Studies / Old Testament REL006090 RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament REL006000 RELIGION / Biblical Studies / General LIT025040 LITERARY CRITICISM / Subjects & Themes / Religion Target audience: Academics (professors and students of the Hebrew Bible or of biblical studies more generally) and educated laypeople (including Jews, Christians, and others) interested in understanding how the Bible functions as a literary work.
Readers typically approach the Bible (and specifically, the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament) primarily for its moral teachings, theological insights, historical information, and the like, without giving much or even any consideration to the literary aspects of the text. The result is that while the Bible’s contents are well known, the careful and often sophisticated manner in which those contents have been crafted is usually poorly understood. As a result, readers frequently miss out on a great deal of the richness the Bible has to offer. The goal of How the Bible Is Written is to bring interested readers—scholars and laypeople alike—closer to the original text of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and to provide them with a greater appreciation of its literary artistry and linguistic virtuosity. In short, this book focuses not so much on what the Bible says as how the Bible says it. Specific topics treated in this book include wordplay, wordplay with proper names, alliteration, repetition with variation, dialect representation, intentionally confused language, marking closure, and more. Readers of this book will gain a profound appreciation for the artistry and genius of the biblical authors and will better appreciate how understanding the way in which the Bible is written contributes to a deeper and fuller understanding of what it says. Gary A. Rendsburg is the Blanche and Irving Laurie Professor of Jewish History at Rutgers University. He is the author of six books, including The Redaction of Genesis and The Bible and the Ancient Near East (co-authored with Cyrus Gordon), and more than 170 articles.

What did the people who inhabited the world of the Bible think about nature? What role did nature play in the thought and everyday life of ancient Israel? How did nature come to play such a prominent role in the metaphorical language of the Bible? And what practical implications might there be for us as Bible readers today? Understanding the Ecology of the Bible addresses all these questions in this highly visual, full-color book. This focused study, dotted throughout with maps and illustrations, helps to bring the world of the Bible to life in a fresh way by examining the relationship between the ancient Israelites and the natural world around them.

Hendrickson Publishers is proud to provide an affordable and durable new edition of Johannes P. Louw and Eugene A. Nida’s beloved Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament: Based on Semantic Domains. This classic reference work groups the words of the New Testament by semantic domain (e.g., river, lake, sea) as opposed to by alphabetical order and provides extended definitions that describe the meaning of a word at length. This format makes the Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament an invaluable resource for Bible translators, allowing them to see the full range of translation options and to evaluate the decisions of previous translators. It also provides sample verses and occasional commentary as relevant. The Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament should not replace a standard lexicon and is not necessarily designed as an exegetical tool, but its semantic analysis and in-depth definitions make it an indispensible part of any New Testament translator’s or scholar’s library. Johannes P. Louw (1932–2011) was a scholar of Greek language and linguistics who specialized in discourse analysis. Eugene A. Nida (1914–2011) was a linguist who developed the widely influential “dynamic equivalence” theory of Bible translation.

While decades of research into the “Jewish backgrounds” of the Gospels have proven to be fruitful, little attention has been given to their function as a witness to the evolution of ancient Judaism. Comprehending this evolution sheds new light and meaning on the Gospel narratives, as well as on the core message of the Jesus movement. This work argues that when viewed through the lens of ancient Judaism, the Gospels become a source for the geographical, historical, and religious reality of ancient Judaism, some of which would have otherwise been missing from the historical record. And in turn, the study of ancient Judaism clarifies some of the teachings attributed to Jesus by the Evangelists. Jeffrey P. García is Assistant Professor in Bible at Nyack College, New York City. His expertise is in Second Temple Judaism and the New Testament. His research interests include examining the Gospels and Acts as sources of ancient Jewish thought and practice, and the manner in which they preserve the traditions of the Sages and the Rabbis. He is co-editor (with R. Steven Notley) of The Gospels in First-Century Judaea (Brill, 2016) and has contributed to the Biblical Archaeology Review, Lexham Bible Dictionary (Lexham Press, 2016), and The Routledge Encyclopedia of Ancient Mediterranean Religions (Routledge, 2015).
