Peoples Companion To The Bible
$39.00
Building on the enthusiastic reception of and critical acclaim for The Peoples’ Bible, hailed as “a rich resource” (Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza) that “will empower people to reclaim the Bible as a multicultural, dialogical, and living tradition” (Kwok Pui-lan), this colorful and engaging biblical textbook brings those same new perspectives in biblical studies to the college classroom. Highlighting the role of cultures in both the development of the Bible and in its subsequent reception around the world, The Peoples’ Companion to the Bible enables students to see how social location has figured in the ways particular peoples have understood the biblical text and helps students formulate their own social location as a key to understanding the Bible and its import for them. The groundbreaking articles from The Peoples’ Bible are all here, including “Culture and Identity”; “The Bible as a Text of Cultures” and “The Bible as a Text in Cultures”; “Jesus and Cultures”; “The Bible as an Instrument of Reconciliation”; “The Bible and Empire”; “Women, Culture, and the Bible”; and “Responsible Christian Exegesis of Hebrew Scripture,” along with new essays designed for the classroom, including a Bible Reader’s Self-Inventory; introductory essays on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament; and an essay on understanding the biblical theme of “the people of God” in a multicultural world.

Kingdom Encounters : Experiencing More Of God When Life Hurts
$19.99Add to cartMany faithful church-goers often feel like something is missing. Perhaps you need more than a daily devotional or small group discussion. Perhaps you feel like you’re just going through the motions. What all Christians need for the spiritual journey is a vibrant life-changing kingdom encounter.
Dr. Tony Evans identifies kingdom encounters as powerful moments when we connect with God beyond information and through experience. In Kingdom Encounters, Dr. Evans explores how the faithful characters of Scripture encountered God–and were forever changed. As we see in the lives of these characters, these moments often occur in the middle of conflicts and trials when we least expect it. Dr. Evans’ hope for you is that, “you realize that when things are going left, you feel trapped and God seems absent, that you are probably right where God wants you in order to experience a life-altering kingdom encounter.” Join Dr. Evans as he explores how these moments can bolster your faith, restore your hope, and make clear to you the face of our almighty God.
