 Sermons of George WhitefieldGeorge Whitefield Retail Price: $19.95 HP Item Number: 563849 ISBN: 9781598563849 ISBN-13: 9781598563849 Whitefield was an astounding preacher from the beginning. Though slender of build, he stormed in the pulpit as if he were a giant. It was said that “his voice startled England like a trumpet blast.” His messages were gospel-focused, simple and clear, bold, descriptive, earnest, and filled with pathos and emotion. Some calculate that he preached more than 18,000 sermons—and fewer than ninety have survived in any form. Among those, most notable are “The Seed of the Woman and the Seed of the Serpent” (Genesis 3:15); “Walking with God” (Genesis 5:24); “Christ, the Believer’s Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30); “The Potter and the Clay” (Jeremiah 8:1-6); and “The Temptation of Christ” (Matthew 4:1-11). |

 The Christian in Complete ArmourWilliam Gurnall Retail Price: $39.95 HP Item Number: 564679 ISBN: 9781598564679 ISBN-13: 9781598564679 Originally written in three volumes (1655–1662), the book first covers the Christian’s call to arms and describes the nature of the battle and the character of our enemy. The various pieces of godly armor and weapons, and their use on offense and defense, are then described at length, item by item and verse by verse. More pastoral and practical than theological, Gurnall’s work is filled with spiritual insight, encouraging exhortation, and inspiring word pictures concerning the importance of doctrinal truth as “a girdle for the mind,” the power of holiness, the “pre-eminence of faith against other graces,” and much more. |
 Through Gates of SplendorElisabeth Elliot Retail Price: $17.95 HP Item Number: 564693 ISBN: 9781598564693 ISBN-13: 9781598564693 In 1956, five young men, including Elliot’s husband, Jim, traveled into the jungles of Ecuador to establish communication with the fierce Huaorani Tribe, a people whose only previous response to the outside world had been to attack all strangers. The men’s mission combined modern technology with innate ingenuity, sparked by a passionate determination to get the gospel to those without Christ. In a nearby village, their wives waited to hear from them. The news they received—all five missionaries had been murdered—changed lives around the world forever. |

Additionally, scholars have pronounced the Apocrypha to be of great value in understanding the times between the Old and New Testaments and the place of Judaism in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. |

 The Faith of Jesus ChristExegetical, Biblical, and Theological Studies Michael F. Bird Retail Price: $19.95 HP Item Number: 564297 ISBN: 9781598564297 ISBN-13: 9781598564297 One of the most perplexing problems in Pauline studies is the meaning of the phrase pistis christou. Is Paul speaking of our faith in Christ or of Christ’s own faithfulness toward God? Here noted contemporary New Testament scholars join forces—and lock horns—to shed light on the answer by presenting rigorous exegetical studies from both sides of the debate. They also bring fresh creative proposals to bear on the problem, and place the discussion in the wider spectrum of historical, biblical, and systematic theology. |
 Christianity, Climate Change, and Sustainable LivingNick Spencer Retail Price: $16.95 HP Item Number: 562293 ISBN: 9781598562293 ISBN-13: 9781598562293 Amounts and patterns of consumption and production in the West have reached a level that cannot be maintained. Lifestyles based on our present way of creating and using energy are no longer environmentally sustainable—and are threatening the health and well-being of both planet and people. Our activities and the policies that shape them need to change. In light of those realities, Spencer, White, and Vroblesky offer serious Christian engagement with the emerging issue of Sustainable Consumption and Production. They analyze the scientific, sociological, economic, and theological thinking that makes a Christian response to these trends imperative and distinctive. And they offer practical conclusions that explore and explain what can be done at the personal, community, national, and international levels to ensure that next generations will have the resources necessary for life. |
 Ignatius of Antioch and the Parting of the WaysEarly Jewish-Christian Relations Thomas A. Robinson Retail Price: $27.95 HP Item Number: 563238 ISBN: 9781598563238 ISBN-13: 9781598563238 How did the early Christian movement, which began among Jewish people and in close association with the Jewish temple and synagogues of the first century, develop into a predominantly Gentile movement by the end of the first century? Was this “parting of the ways” spurred by internal tensions within the Christian church, socio-political factors in the Roman city of Antioch, or growing hostility from the larger Jewish community? |
 Minor Prophets IIJohn Goldingay Retail Price: $16.95 HP Item Number: 32281 ISBN: 9781565632288 ISBN-13: 9781565632288 he Minor Prophets are those dozen Old Testament books that, in the time of Jesus, were usually written on one scroll since they were all fairly brief. The late Elizabeth Achtemeier prepared the New International Biblical Commentary on the first six: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah. This second volume deals with the final six books. John Goldingay writes on Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai; Pamela Scalise takes on the longest, Zechariah, and the last, Malachi. |
 PsalmsReading and Studying the Book of Praises W. H. Bellinger Retail Price: $12.95 HP Item Number: 75354 ISBN: 0943575354 ISBN-13: 9780943575353 "Bellinger has created an excellent primer for the Psalms . . . I like his use of examples in each section and his references in each chapter to what has gone before." —Victor Matthews, Professor of Religious Studies, Southwest Missouri State University |
 God's Empowering PresenceThe Holy Spirit in the Letters of Paul Gordon D. Fee Retail Price: $34.95 HP Item Number: 564327 ISBN: 9781598564327 ISBN-13: 9781598564327 Fee’s book is the most comprehensive treatment available of Paul’s understanding of the Holy Spirit, a topic that has rarely received sufficient attention in studies of Pauline theology. Fee’s method is exemplary: he first analyzes Paul’s statements about the Spirit, in each individual letter, and then moves to a synthesis of Paul’s general pneumatology. The result is a book that is deeply exegetical, doing justice both to the particularity of Paul’s writings and to the fundamental unity of his vision for the Spirit’s role in the life of the Christian community. Most importantly, Fee emphasizes insistently that the Holy Spirit must be experienced as a living presence within the church. That message is both faithful to Paul and urgent for the community of faith in our time. —Richard B. Hays, Professor of New Testament, The Divinity School, Duke University |
 An Introduction to NietzscheLucy Huskinson Retail Price: $14.95 HP Item Number: 564709 ISBN: 9781598564709 ISBN-13: 9781598564709 What can Christians learn from the man who declared that “God is dead?” Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) has often been referred to as one of the first existential philosophers and is perhaps best-known for challenging the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality. Lucy Huskinson rescues Nietzsche’s religious perspective from the murky misunderstandings that surround his confusing work and makes the philosopher’s difficult thought process accessible to a wide audience. She engages Nietzsche’s affirmative religious thinking, opens the gates to a world previously—and unjustifiably—locked to believers, and highlights what that world has to offer Christians. |
 Analytical Lexicon to the SeptuagintExpanded Edition Bernard Taylor Retail Price: $44.95 HP Item Number: 635167 ISBN: 9781565635166 ISBN-13: 9781565635166 The Septuagint—the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible—was an influential translation for Jews and Christians of the first century. When the New Testament writers quoted the Old Testament, they most often used the Septuagint (abbreviated LXX) translation. Thus the vocabulary and thought forms of the LXX had a significant impact on the development of New Testament theology. Although the LXX and the New Testament were both written in Koiné Greek, much of their vocabulary and word forms are different. Thus students and scholars who desire to read the LXX need a reliable reference guide that will help them decode the host of word forms and meanings that go beyond New Testament Greek. |
 Discovering Jesus in the New TestamentKeith Warrington Retail Price: $19.95 HP Item Number: 560114 ISBN: 9781598560114 ISBN-13: 9781598560114 Nearly everyone knows something about Jesus, but how much of what we “know” really comes from the Bible? In this thoroughly insightful book we can find the full portrait of Jesus as described in the New Testament, one that is complex yet rich, one that is diverse yet unified, one that explains who Jesus was and how he continues to speak to our world. |
 The Jewish Targums and John's Logos TheologyJohn Ronning Retail Price: $29.95 HP Item Number: 563061 ISBN: 9781598563061 ISBN-13: 9781598563061 At the beginning of his gospel, John refers to Jesus Christ as the Logos—the “Word.” John Ronning makes a case that the Jewish Targums—interpretive translations of the Old Testament into Aramaic that were read in synagogues—hold the key to understanding John’s Logos title. Examining numerous texts in the fourth gospel in the light of the Targums, Ronning shows how connecting the Logos with the targumic Memra (word) unlocks the meaning of a host of theological themes that run throughout the Gospel of John. |
 Paul, His Letters, and ActsThomas E. Phillips Retail Price: $24.95 HP Item Number: 560018 ISBN: 9781598560015 ISBN-13: 9781598560015 Aside from Jesus, the Apostle Paul had the greatest formative influence on the early Christian movement. Yet who was this passionate missionary who carried the message of Christ throughout the Mediterranean world? The New Testament writings give us not one but two portraits of Paul. We read numerous details of Paul’s life and relationships in the Book of Acts, and we also find an additional set of details about Paul’s activities in his letters. Yet how consistent are these two portraits? And which one gives us the most accurate picture of the historical Paul? In this volume Thomas E. Phillips examines the portrayals of Paul in recent biblical scholarship in the light of these two major NT portraits. Believing the apostolic conference at Jerusalem to be a watershed event, Phillips draws conclusions that help contemporary readers get a more accurate picture of Paul. |
 A Basic Introduction to Biblical Hebrewwith CD Jo Ann Hackett Retail Price: $39.95 HP Item Number: 56028X ISBN: 9781598560282 ISBN-13: 9781598560282 Linguistics expert and long-time educator Hackett offers a robust introduction to biblical Hebrew grammar and the Masoretic text.

 Vines IntertwinedA History of Jews and Christians from the Babylonian Exile to the Advent of Islam Leo Duprée Sandgren Retail Price: $34.95 HP Item Number: 560832 ISBN: 9781598560831 ISBN-13: 9781598560831 The study of Jewish/Christian history in antiquity is experiencing a renaissance. Textual witnesses and archaeological sites are being reevaluated and revisited.
