Isaiah 2 : Prophet Of Deliverance And Messianic Hope (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99Add to cartLessons 11-21
Additional Info
Many of Isaiah’s writings have been called “the fifth Gospel.” The New Testament contains no fewer than 66 direct quotes from Isaiah, and 20 of the New Testament books include his timeless words. In Jesus’ first formal appearance in His hometown synagogue at Nazareth, He captivated the speechless congregation by reading from Isaiah.But it was more than the mere reading, of course. Jesus claimed that the words He read from Isaiah were literally being fulfilled in Him, the Messiah. Indeed, the Book of Isaiah is replete with predictions of both the first and second comings of Christ. And it was Isaiah who made clear (in chapter 53) that the Messiah would be a largely rejected suffering Servant, shattering the time-honored hopes of Israel that His primary function would be to rescue His people from their political oppressors. But the glorious news the prophet proclaimed was that this Servant’s stripes and shed blood would provide healing and atonement for our sin.
Through his proclamations of the gravity of sin, the righteous requirements of a holy God, and the sure hope of the coming Messiah, Isaiah provides a message of incredible hope for people of all ages.
This second part of Wisdom of the Word’s study on Isaiah examines chapters 40 through 66 of this inimitable book.

Paul The Letter Writer Print On Demand Title
$25.99Add to cartThis engaging study shows how Paul’s stylized use of the official Roman letter a form of communication of great social import in his day played a crucial role in his apostolic ministry, conveying both his self-identity and sense of authority.
M. Luther Stirewalt describes the logistics of letter writing in the first-century Mediterranean world and shows how official letters served to substitute for speeches to an audience, to convey executive, official, or bureaucratic matters, or to bring complaints or petitions from citizens to officials. He then shows how Paul structured his apostolic correspondence after these models of writing, drawing evidence directly from seven Pauline epistles: 1 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon, Galatians, and Romans.
Cutting a new angle on Paul’s purposes, his ministry, and his pastoral concerns, Stirewalt’s “Paul, the Letter Writer” will appeal to readers of the Bible and ancient history.

Abba (Student/Study Guide)
$12.95Add to cartThe Lord’s Prayer is undoubtedly the world’s most well-known litany of petition and praise — yet it is precisely because of its familiarity that we often recite it by rote and lose the power and depth of its spiritual yearnings. In this latest installment of the popular Another Look series, Ron Lavin brings the prayer to life with a fresh approach which reminds us that Jesus was teaching his disciples (and us) how to pray and how to live. The first word of the prayer in Luke 11:1-2 — the Aramaic word Abba, loosely translated as “Daddy” — clearly indicates the true nature of the kingdom of God. Jesus’ use of this term tells us that the Ruler of the universe is not only our strong, dependable Father… but He is also a compassionate and loving Daddy with whom we can have an affectionate, intimate relationship.
Structured in eight sessions, Abba is an ideal group study resource. Each chapter is filled with humor and anecdotes, and includes questions for stimulating discussion. There are tips to assist small group leaders, along with two fascinating appendixes that share a personal viewpoint on the Lord’s Prayer.
Abba is the third title in the Another Look series on the basics of Christianity. Stories To Remember studied the parables of Jesus; I Believe; Help My Unbelief examined the Apostles’ Creed; upcoming titles will explore the Ten Commandments and the sacraments. These books are excellent for personal meditation, use with new member or adult Sunday school classes, small group studies, and sermon preparation.

Paul And Jesus
$23.50Add to cartIt has been fashionable in New Testament scholarship to view the apostle Paul as a religious “freelancer” who corrupted Jesus’ teachings. David Wenham has written convincingly against this view, and in this new book he introduces readers to the “true” Paul.
Rooted in a thorough knowledge of the New Testament, this book fulfills two important purposes. First, it provides a superb introduction to Paul himself. Wenham describes Paul’s early life, shows the importance of his conversion, and follows him on his missionary journeys. Second, the book explores Paul’s relation to Jesus. Writing in dialogue with those who wish to distance Paul from Jesus, Wenham shows just how important the ministry and teaching of Jesus were to Paul’s own thought and evangelism. What emerges from a study of Paul’s epistles is a man who drew extensively on the traditions of Jesus and faithfully worked to spread his message to the rest of the world.

A great job, wonderful friends, financial security. What if God asked you to leave it all behind today – to forsake everything familiar and comfortable? To give it all up to go to a neglected, third-rate portion of the world and to rebuild a city you’ve never seen?Sound unlikely? This is precisely a portrait of Nehemiah, cupbearer to the king of Persia. After hearing that a plan to rebuild Jerusalem’s ruined city wall had tragically failed, Nehemiah’s heart was broken.

Ezra : Leader Of Moral Restoration (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99Add to cart10 Lesson Bible Study
Additional Info
Moral decay, hedonistic lifestyle, political controversy. Characteristics from contemporary culture? For the Hebrew people exiled to Babylon in 539 BC, those words typified the lifestyle to shich they had become accustomed.Imagine being away from your homeland so long that the strange landscape, foreign people, and pagan customs are now familiar and comfortable – and the land of your birth seems nothing more than a distant dream. God’s Word and you Jewish faith in Him have faded into memory.
This was the regrettable situation the Hebrew people found themselves in. And when the impossible happened – a decree allowing them to return to their homeland – God planted a holy desire in the hearts of many Jews to return. Additionally, He commissioned the scribe Ezra to lead the return and, more importantly, to teach his people to love God and His Word once again.

Each lesson provides challenging insights into the cultural, historical, and biblical background of the Book Of Ezra. God’s master design for His people is revealed once again as He continues to address a world in desperate need of moral restoration.

How To Be A Christian Without Being Religious (Reprinted)
$15.00Add to cartSince the days of the early church, Christians have struggled to find a way to be “good”–to please God by their own efforts. They end up carrying a burden God never intended them to bear. And what’s more, their brand of Christianity ends up looking like any other religion of the world–bound by joyless rules and rituals. Fritz Ridenour’s study of the book of Romans provides an antidote to the pharisaical spirit and shows that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. It is not people reaching up, but God reaching down. All Christians can enjoy their birthright when they realize who they are in Christ. The result is a life full of hope, joy, power, and potential.

God Has A Plan For You (Student/Study Guide)
$26.95Add to cart“I read the Bible, but I don’t get anything out of it.” “I want to know what the Bible says, but I need a guide to understand it.” “I just don’t have time to read the whole Bible, but I want to know its message for me.” If any of these statements describe you (or your parishioners), then this is the book for you.

Dr. Prescott-Ezickson wisely avoids secondary issues and dubious interpretations, consistently focusing on the central message of salvation as it is found from the beginning to the end of the Scriptures. Readers, whether from the laity or the clergy, will come away from this volume with a new appreciation of the fundamental message of the Bible.

Methodical Bible Study
$19.99Add to cartInductive study compares related Bible texts in order to let the Bible interpret itself, rather than approaching Scripture with predetermined notions of what it will say. Dr. Traina’s Methodical Bible Study was not intended to be the last word in inductive Bible study; but since its first publication in 1952, it has become a foundational text in this field. Christian colleges and seminaries have made it required reading for beginning Bible students, while many churches have used it for their lay Bible study groups. Dr. Traina summarizes its success in this comment: “If the truths of the Bible already resided in man, there would be no need for the Bible and this manual would be superfluous. But the fact is the Bible is an objective body of literature which exists because man needs to know certain truths which he himself cannot know. There are two main approaches open to the Bible student. One is deduction, which begins with generalizations and moves for their support to the particulars. By its very nature deduction tends to be subjective and prejudicial. Its opposite, induction, is objective and impartial; for it demands that one first examine the particulars of the Scriptures and that one’s conclusions be based on those particulars. Such an approach is sound because, being objective, it corresponds to the objective nature of the Scriptures.” This book fills the need for a simple, practical textbook in hermeneutics. It encourages the serious Bible student to practice the best kind of hermeneutic, which allows the Word of God to speak for itself.

Paul And The New Perspective
$41.99Add to cartUnderstanding Paul and his conversion to Christianity is imperative for a thorough knowledge of the New Testament. In Paul and the New Perspective Seyoon Kim develops his argument that the origin of Paul’s gospel lies in two places–his radical conversion at Damascus and his usage of the Jesus tradition in light of Damascus.

A departure from the New Perspective School represented by James D. G. Dunn, Kim’s Paul and the New Perspective offers a thorough and extensive argument for the foundation off the gospel that Paul spread in the first century.

Faith Of Jesus Christ A Print On Demand Title
$32.99Add to cartWidely praised as a major contribution to Pauline studies, Richard B. Hays’s Faith of Jesus Christ now features, in this expanded second edition, a foreword by Luke Timothy Johnson, a new introduction by Hays, and a substantial dialogue with James D. G. Dunn.
In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul’s theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1_4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul’s thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the “sacred story” of Jesus Christ. Above all, Paul’s thought is guided by his concern to draw out the implications of the gospel story, particularly how the “faith of Jesus Christ” reflects the mission of the church.

In the late 1990s Robert Van Kampen and Marvin Rosenthal introduced the “pre-wrath rapture” view, a new understanding of the time of God’s rescue of His chruch from the worldwide “Day-of-the-Lord wrath.” Positioned between the traditional “mid-tribulation” and “post-tribulation” views of Christ’s return, the “pre-wrath rapture” places the rapture after most of the seven-year 70th week of Daniel but before God unleashes His final wrath.Dr. Renald Showers, a longtime friend of Van Kampen and Rosenthal, has interacted extensively with the pre-wrath rapture theory since its inception and now offers an authoritative and Biblical critique of this recent addition to the prophetic landscape.
In this volume the author explores such topics as the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord, the significance of the seals and the sealed scroll, the great multitude, Matthew 24, and the Second Coming. Pastors, teachers, students, and lay people will find a helpful and evenhanded treatment as they evaluate the theory and guide others through the interpretive challenges of the “pre-wrath rapture” view.
