Paul And The Law
$38.99Add to cartNo issue in contemporary Pauline studies is more contested than Paul’s view of the law. “Paul & The Law” is a careful attempt to assault this crucial interpretive problem with a new strategy.

Revelation Of John 2
$34.00Add to cart232 Pages/The Revelation Of John, Chapters 6 To 22
Additional Info
THE REVELATION OF JOHN, Volume 2 (Chapters 6 to 22)Here the reader meets many picturesque images that have become part of the very fabric of thinking-the four horses and their riders, the Antichrist, the woman clothed with the sun, the beast with his number, Armageddon, the great harlot, the Millennium, the new Jerusalem. These and many other images drawn from the Revelation have so seized hold of the world’s imagination that without them a good share of our best art would never have been created.

Letters To The Galatians And Ephesians
$34.00Add to cart185 Pages/Galatians (6 Chapters), Ephesians (6 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE LETTERS TO THE GALATIANS AND EPHESIANSThe Letter to the Galatians proclaims that Christianity was dependent upon nothing but God’s free gift of grace, bestowed on all who would accept that gift by faith, Gentile and Jew alike. Because it declares this universality and confutes the Judaizing Christians, the letter is one of the great theological cornerstones of Christianity, according to Dr. Barclay. The Letter to the Ephesians, “The Queen of the Epistles,” was a circular letter to the Christian churches generally. The main theme is the universal battle between good and evil, and the ultimate unity to be achieved only when all things are gathered together in Christ.

How can Paul say we will be saved by grace through faith, and also that we will be judged according to our deeds? Paul seemed to feel no theological tension in saying these two things, and this book explains why. The first in the English language to concentrate solely on “judgment according to deeds” in Paul, it takes account of recent discussions about Paul’s theology and his relationship to Judaism.

Spiritual Journaling : Recording Your Journey Toward God (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99Add to cartThe SPIRITUAL FORMATION STUDY GUIDES explore and explain how the use of disciplines (such as journaling, Bible reading, prayer, and others) can deepen both our walk with God and our community with other believers.
THE FIRST STEP TOWARD GROWTH IS NOTICING. What are the life-style characteristics that distinguish a follower of Jesus from those who share no interest in Him? Widespread research suggests that in our society there are none.
Why is that? Surely one would expect a follower of history’s most influential person to stand out from the crowd. Perhaps it relates to the pace of contemporary life. By running so fast, we miss the meaning of our actions, and the cultivation of our characters.
hough many of us do try to capture each day’s experiences in a journal, few take that practice to the level of a spiritual discipline by using it to explore the work of God in our lives.
In Spiritual Journaling, you will learn to recognize the progression from who you have been to who you are meant to become. By taking time to go back and understand the critical elements of your life-the events, relationships, patterns, and experiences that shape you-you will gradually find yourself viewing the future through the lens of conformity to the way of Jesus.
Whether you choose to explore this new skill with a group of friends (recommended!) or on your own, you’ll benefit from the thoughtful exercises presented in this study guide.

Male Spiritual Leadership (Student/Study Guide)

Gender Roles in the Church-
A matter of what woman may do? or What God has called MEN to do?In his already-widely-read book, LaGard Smith suggests that our current controversy has been wrongly focused on questions about what women may do in times of gathered worship. The real issue, he says, is whether we believe in the pervasive biblical principle of male spiritual leadership.
First introduced as Men of Strength for Women of God, and later published under the title, What Most Women Want, this latest imprint is designed as a Special Study Edition. For the first time, this edition includes Discussion Questions suitable for both men’s and women’s classes. There is also a Revised Introduction which brings the dialogue up to date for a church struggling with renewed calls for recognizing women’s unique spiritual gifts.
Since the book was first released almost a decade ago, the mostly dormant issue of gender roles has now found its way back to the top of the agenda for a changing church. One congregation after another is now opting for greater participation of women in ways once considered unthinkable. Yet, little attention has been paid as to why there was ever and Biblical restriction on how women participated in the assembly. Smith argues that the principle of male spiritual leadership has far more implications for the church, the family, and society at large than we may have previously appreciated.

249 PagesAdditional Info
As we enter a new millennium, the book that speaks of the Millennium is once again hugely popular. Its images capture the imagination: four horsemen who bring death and destruction, the Antichrist, the beast with ten horns, the ultimate battle at Armageddon, and of course, 666, the “mark of the beast,” variously interpreted to signify everything from Hitler and Khrushchev to credit cards and the Internet.Is the book of Revelation really a blueprint for the future that simply needs decoding if we want to understand current events-or should we read it as a book of powerful imagery, of profound warning and ultimate promise that speaks to the church through the ages.
Four Views on the Book of Revelation focuses specifically on the book of Revelation and the primary ways in which it is read and understood today. It shows how the various views interpret Revelation as well as why. The four views discussed are the preterist, idealist, dispensationalist futurist, and progressive dispensationalist views. Each is presented by a proponent who also interacts with the other three views.
