Overcomers
$21.23The Book of Revelation is not a book of doom and gloom but the victory of the Lamb of God and those who follow Him-The Overcomers. In this groundbreaking three-volume series, Dr. Richard Booker helps you understand the Book of Revelation by explaining John’s vision within its intriguing original historical, literary, and biblical context. This three-volume series gives a more balanced understanding of the book of Revelation by emphasizing the background and setting in which John received and wrote his revelation. The author explains how this background information actually determined the words that Jesus and John used in what became the book of Revelation. Without this background information, it is really impossible to understand why Jesus and John said what they said. The author connects this background information and the message in the book of Revelation with a prophetic word to our world today. In this regard, this is a groundbreaking series on the book of Revelation.

Created In Christ Jesus For Good Works
$49.98The relationship between the so-called ‘theological’ (Eph 1 – 3) and ‘paraenetic’ (Eph 4-6) sections of Ephesians has been a matter of extensive scholarly discussion. Central to the debate is the question whether the ethical material found in Ephesians 4-6 is an integral part of the theological statements in Ephesians 1-3, or whether it is merely an appendage with its own self-contained theology. This study undertakes a fresh investigation into the relationship between the ‘theological’ and ‘paraenetic’ sections of Ephesians. It demonstrates the intrinsic integration of both parts of the letter by examining the soteriological pattern of Ephesians, and how salvation entails the moral social transformation of believers; this, in turn, renders meaningless the category-distinction between ‘theology’ and ‘ethics’.

Did Adam And Eve Really Exist
$19.99Examines the biblical-theological evidence for a real Adam and Eve and asserts their importance for modern life.”We need a real Adam and Eve if we are to make sense of the Bible and of life,” argues C. John Collins. Examining the biblical storyline as the worldview story of the people of God, Collins shows how that story presupposes a real Adam and Eve and how the modern experience of human life points to the same conclusion.
Applying well-informed critical thinking to questions raised by theologians and scientists alike, Collins asserts that only a real man could participate in God’s plan to use his human partners to bring blessing to the whole creation, a blessing that requires “redemption” for all people since sin entered the world. Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? addresses both biblical and Jewish texts and contains extensive appendices to examine how the material in Genesis relates to similar material from Mesopotamian myths. Collins’s detailed analysis of the relevant texts will instill confidence in readers that the traditional Christian story equips them better than any alternatives to engage the life that they actually encounter in the modern world.

Redeeming Sociology : A God Centered Approach
$30.00A biblical framework for considering the foundation of human relationships, leading to a rethinking of the discipline of sociology. Interpersonal relationships are possible for humans because we are created in the image of a Trinitarian God. But if the Trinity is our model for relationships, why is the human condition rife with pain and evil? How are we to think correctly about fallen human relationships and our models for understanding them? Redeeming Sociology advocates a biblically informed model for human relationships-relationships rooted in the Trinitarian character of God, his governance of the world, and his redemption accomplished in Christ. Poythress examines how the breaking of relationships through sin leads to strife, murder, and oppression among human beings and sets cultures against one another. And he shows how these broken relationships are restored through the outworking of redemption in Christ. Though typical sociological models for interpersonal relationships may offer some valuable insights, they are handicapped by a fundamental misunderstanding of humanity. The biblical model that Poythress presents correctly diagnoses the problem of human relationships, so it can likewise prescribe a biblical solution that infuses new meaning and power into how we relate to others made in the image of God.

The first 39 chapters reflect the themes of the 39 books of the Old Testament and the last 27 chapters prefigure the events of the New, from John the Baptist to the new heaven and earth.

Nemesis Apple
$22.48The sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was far more deadly than is generally perceived. Have you ever asked yourself why: it was necessary for the Redeemer to be born through a virgin? a second birth is vital for one’s salvation? blood is the antidote for sin?
God commanded the eradication of entire races from Canaan, babies among them? God chose the ancient Israelites? the Bible regards the works of the flesh as evil? Why not of the spirit? Cain and his descendants had a different character from that of Seth’s lineage?
These and many more Scripture teachings are accepted as truth simply because they are found in the Bible. It has not been fully recognized that they were, and still are, necessities brought on by the original sin. This book draws a clear link between the two.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

City Set On A Hill
$23.73JESUS IS COMING AGAIN SOON, BUT WILL HE COME BACK AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND THE MANIFESTATION OF THE ANTICHRIST OR BEFORE?
If He is coming back after the great tribulation then we need to prepare. This book presents detailed Scriptural evidence that proves that the second coming of Jesus Christ and the rapture of the Church occur after the great tribulation.
After presenting evidence for the posttribulational rapture, the author then procedes to describe what that period of time might be like. He explores answers to questions such as the meaning of 666, the nature of the mark of the beast, how it might be possible for the antichrist to rise from the dead, and the kind of technology that might allow a remnant of the world’s population to escape from his clutches.
The author then presents a plan to strengthen the church in order to prepare it for those end time events. This involves combining the best features of several of the existing movements within conservative Christianity. He also explores the role which government could play in protecting the church in enclaves throughout the world.
No Christian should consider himself a serious student of prophecy without first examining the evidence presented in this book for the posttribulational rapture and considering the challenge the author presents to prepare to serve our Lord during that special time.

Biblical History And Israels Past
$49.99Although scholars have for centuries primarily been interested in using the study of ancient Israel to explain, illuminate, and clarify the biblical story, Megan Bishop Moore and Brad E. Kelle describe how scholars today seek more and more to tell the story of the past on its own terms, drawing from both biblical and extrabiblical sources to illuminate ancient Israel and its neighbors without privileging the biblical perspective. Biblical History and Israel’s Past provides a comprehensive survey of how study of the Old Testament and the history of Israel has changed since the middle of the twentieth century. Moore and Kelle discuss significant trends in scholarship, trace the development of ideas since the 1970s, and summarize major scholars, viewpoints, issues, and developments.

Preface: The Irreducible Strangeness Of The Biblical Scholar1. Theory And Methodolatry
2. The Invention Of The Biblical Scholar
3. Onwards Towards The PastIndex
Additional Info
What is a “biblical scholar”? Stephen D. Moore and Yvonne Sherwood provide a thoroughly defamiliarizing and frequently entertaining re-description of this peculiar academic species and its odd disciplinary habitat. The modern-and -biblical scholar, they argue, is a product of the Enlightenment. Even when a biblical scholar imagines that she is doing something else entirely (something confessional, theoretical, literary, or even postmodern), she is sustaining Enlightened modernity and its effects. This study poses questions for scholars across the humanities concerned with the question of the religious and the secular. It also poses pressing questions for scholars and students of biblical interpretation: What other forms might biblical criticism have taken? What untried forms might biblical criticism yet take?Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Outline Of New Testament Spirituality
$21.99It has become commonplace in contemporary culture to divorce spirituality from religion and regard the two as separate, competing entities. Yet Prosper Grech, an Augustinian father and professor of early Christian literature, recognizes no such distinction. The Christian religion, he finds, is infused with spirituality – which he defines not in a New Age sense but rather as “the believer’s full response to God’s offer of salvation in Christ.” In this book Grech presents the essential spiritual themes of Christian belief for meditation by any who seek to live out their Christian faith in its fullness.
In his compact Outline of New Testament Spirituality Grech considers a wealth of biblical texts, including Genesis, the Psalms, the Synoptic Gospels, Paul’s epistles, the letter to the Hebrews, and John’s Gospel, letters, and Apocalypse. He uncovers the New Testament church’s spiritual response to God’s gifts in each of these texts: its inherited response to God’s Old Testament covenant with Israel; its response to Jesus’ preaching, to the Paschal mystery of his death and resurrection, and to Christ the Light of the World; its response to its own place in history displayed in Acts and Revelation.
Weaving these various theological strands together, Grech traces the contours of a dynamic yet contemplative Christian spirituality – one that not only saturated the New Testament church but also continues to animate Christian life today.

Disruptive Grace : Reflections On God Scripture And The Church
$65.00Walter Brueggemann has been one of the leading voices in Hebrew Bible interpretation for decades. His landmark works in Old Testament theology have inspired and informed a generation of students, scholars, and preachers. These chapters gather his recent addresses and essays, never published before, drawn from all three parts of the Hebrew Bible-Torah, prophets, and writings-and addressing the role of the Hebrew canon in the life of the church.
Brueggemann turns his critical erudition to those practices-prophecy, lament, prayer, faithful imagination, and a holy economics-that alone may usher in a humane and peaceful future for our cities and our world, in defiance of the most ruthless aspects of capitalism, the arrogance of militarism, and the disciplines of the national security state.

This volume highlights points of agreement and disagreement between two leading scholars on the subject of the textual reliability of the New Testament: Bart Ehrman, James A. Gray Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of the best-selling book Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why, and Daniel Wallace, Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts.This conversation between Ehrman and Wallace allows the reader to see in print how each presents his position in light of the other’s. Contributions follow from an interdisciplinary team featuring specialists in biblical studies, philosophy, and theology. The textual reliability of the New Testament is logically prior to its interpretation and thus important for the Christian religion. This book provides interested readers a fair and balanced case for both sides and allows them to decide for themselves: What does it mean for a text to be textually reliable? How reliable is the New Testament? How reliable is reliable enough?

Amazing Grace : Gods Pursuit Our Response
$17.99This updated, introductory study on God’s amazing grace aims to address the “Calvinism controversy” and promote unity in the church’s understanding of the doctrine of grace. The doctrine of God’s grace has sparked some heated controversies in the history of the Christian church. What are dispensations of grace? Is grace really irresistible? In Amazing Grace noted theologian Timothy George looks at some of these debated questions. Grounded in Scripture, his insights continually draw the reader back to the fundamental truth of God’s free and sovereign favor to ill-deserving sinners. Originally written to address the “Calvinism controversy” brewing within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), this study was used in thousands of churches and study groups throughout the SBC and beyond. Now this popular primer on the basic themes of Reformed theology has been updated and expanded. Though written from George’s Southern Baptist perspective, the book’s irenic tone appeals to a wide audience and shows how sound Reformed theology has taken root within several Reformation traditions.

Reading Through Matthew Encountering God
$21.23God teaches and speaks to people through the Bible. This book will teach and inspire Christians to read the Bible and respond with their lives. In Reading Through Matthew, Encountering God, I demonstrate my method of Bible reading, journaling, and prayer. This Dynamic Bible Reading, as I call it, involves reading a small Bible passage and journaling the believer’s interaction with that passage through three distinct sections; (1) Scripture Insight: the meaning of the passage, (2) Application: how to apply the meaning to life, and (3) Prayer: seeking God’s guidance in living out what the passage teaches. To best draw the meaning of Scripture into our lives, we must read it, work through its meaning, and begin to practice it in life. This book helps to develop these skills. Once gained, I hope each reader will pass this book on to someone else who might benefit from it.

Discovering Jesus : Why Four Gospels To Portray One Person
$16.99An introductory guide to the four Gospels, showing how each differs in what it emphasizes about the nature and ministry of Jesus Christ. If asked how Matthew’s Gospel differs from Luke’s, or what aspects of Jesus’ personhood and ministry the Gospel of Mark focuses on compared to those of John, how would you answer? In Discovering Jesus, T. D. Alexander sets out to help readers understand how each Gospel account is uniquely written and why all four are important for having a rich picture of the person of Jesus Christ. Alexander guides readers to see how the Gospels display Jesus as the Son of David who establishes the kingdom of God, the Son of God who suffers to ransom others, the Savior of the world who seeks the lost, and the Lamb of God who brings eternal life through a new exodus. Each chapter ends with discussion questions for individual or group study.

Ecology Of The New Testament
$29.99IVP Print On Demand Title
God is the Creator of all and cares deeply for all that he has made. His vision for creation is seen through a world teeming with life where eternity is breathed into and through all creation. Jesus teaches that humans must live with a spirit of generosity and restraint; however, a spirit of meanness and greed dominates human culture and leaves nearly 1.3 billion people living on less than $1 a day.
The politics of globalization based on principles of greed have resulted in the loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and a shortage of food and clean water. Jesus teaches that those who are generous are blessed, and such generosity brings justice to all creation. There cannot be God’s social justice without ecological sanity, and yet we tend to speak of social justice as though non-human creation doesn’t matter. God cares even for the flowers of the field, yet we show contempt for God in our careless plunder of his creation. To love God is to love all that he has made, from our own families to the soil outside our homes.

Resurrection Of Jesus
$64.99The question of the historicity of Jesus’ resurrection has been repeatedly probed, investigated and debated. And the results have varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the burned-over district of New Testament scholarship, while others have come to believe that we simply do not have th adequate methods to make the controversial results of the field of any use. Could there be any new and promising approach to this problem?
Yes, answers Michael Licona. And in The Resurrection of Jesus: A Historiographical Approach he convincingly points us to a significant deficiency in approaching this question: our historiographical orientation and practice.
So he opens this study with an extensive consideration of historiography in general, and the particular problem of investigating claims of miracles. This alone is a valuable contribution to the ongoing struggle for methodoloical viability in historical Jesus scholarship.
But then Licona carefully applies his principles and methods to the question of Jesus’ resurrection. In addition to determining and working from the most reliable sources and foundational historical evidence, Licona critically weighs tegh viability of others’ prominent hypotheses.
His own argument is a challenging and closely argued case for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. Any future approaches to dealing with this “prize puzzle” of New Testament study will need to be routed through The Resurrection of Jesus.

Images Of Salvation In The New Testament
$39.99What does salvation in the New Testament look like? “The New Testament does not develop a systematic doctrine of salvation,” writes Brenda Colijn. “Instead, it presents us with a variety of pictures taken from different perspectives. From one angle, the human predicament is rebellion against God. Salvation looks like living under God’s universal reign. From another angle, the human predicament is bondage to both internal and external forces. Salvation looks like freedom from those forces. From yet a third angle, the human predicament looks like alienation from God, from other people, from creation and even from one’s own best self. Salvation looks like the restoration of those relationships.” Colijn, who holds degrees in English literature as well as theology, embraces a critical-realist methodology that incorporates New Testament theology, literary criticism and theological interpretation. She advocates listening to the individual authors of Scripture in their own social-cultural and historical settings, while looking for how the texts work both individually and collectively at a literary level. Students of the New Testament and of theology will both find their vision broadened and their understanding deepened by this rich, informative study. As the author seeks to understand their implications for people of faith, she uncovers how New Testament images provide the building blocks of the master story of redemption.

Revelation Of Jesus Christ In The Old Testament
$26.23Christ: The Angel of God.
Christ: The Battle Bow
Christ: A Goodly CedarSince the time that I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour in 1976, I have heard it said that He was the focus of the Bible. I have never doubted that. I have heard it said that Jesus Christ was the subject of each book of the Bible, including the Old Testament. I struggled with that, not because it was untrue, but because no one in my theological circle submitted proof that it was true. This book is proof that Jesus Christ can be found in each book of the Old Testament. Therefore, Jesus Christ is available to become the subject of any book of the Bible if we take this approach to the Scriptures.
What is the benefit of this approach? The Lord Jesus Christ becomes more precious to our souls as we encounter the varied facets of His Person. That should be enough, but now we can gain new insights into the Godhead and the inspired Word of God. This approach provides a fresh reason to study the Bible and a new direction in sermon and lesson preparation. Personal and family devotions are given new life in Christ. A fresh breeze blows across the pages of the Old Testament.
The book is arranged for ease of use. Section One contains all the designations of Christ arranged alphabetically. Section Two contains all the physical aspects of Christ arranged alphabetically. Section Three is arranged by the mentions of Christ in each book of the Old Testament.

Wonder And Glory Inside The Ark Of The Covenant
$23.73The wonder and glory of God’s word can never be completely told in a man’s life time. Every thing is new every day. And just as the manna we need to have this word every day to prove his doctrine and to hear it out of the word of God (John 17: 8) say’s he gave his word to the men that the Father gave him and Jesus prayed for them that they will show God’s glory to the world that they are one as he is one with the Father. Jesus said I have manifested thy name unto them and they have kept thy word and your Word is everlasting life and they are sanctified through thy truth I have kept them in thy name.
The wonder and the glory inside the Ark of the Covenant will show the lawgiver, the manna and the tree of life. He gives us the witness of death and taxes and the resurrection of the just and the unjust. He tells us the wages of sin is death, and the gift of God is eternal life our debt is paid in full.
The greatest mystery.( I Timothy 3:16 ) And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory (I John 1:2) For the life was manifested, and we have seen it,
Comfort one another with these words this day could be the day in Jerusalem.

Integrated Gospels
$21.23Although the “according to” Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are complementary it is challenging to the reader to comprehend the overall narrative as they are not organized by any consecutive line of thought or chronology.
Each Gospel has a different emphasis and organization, shaped to be relevant to it’s own purpose and audience; reflecting the differences of interest and environment.
The Integrated Gospels consolidates the “according to” Gospels into a cohesive, reader friendly Gospel, presenting it in a chronologically and thematically consistent text by interweaving and arranging the scripture verses into a singular continuous narrative, thereby becoming relevant to all readers at all times.
This unique text is presented exclusively in scripture verses with verse citations in margin of the quoted scripture for reference purposes. Employing no added commentary or paraphrasing The Integrated Gospels faithfully preserves the integrity of the Word of God, affording the reader a new and beneficial perspective on “The Greatest Story Ever Told”.

Targum And Testament Revisited
$35.99Targum and Testament Revisited is a new edition of a text first published in 1972, now revised in light of research during the intervening period. In his introduction Martin McNamara details significant developments in the field, ending with a note on the tell-like structure of targumic tradition, with interpretations from different ages, also showing the presence of continuity in interpretation of certain passages down through the centuries of Jewish history.
The first part of the book examines the formation of targumic tradition, specifically treating the early written Targums, Aramaic as the language of the Jews, and the origin, transmission, and date of the Targums of the Pentateuch and the Prophets. Part two considers the possible relationship between certain New Testament passages and targumic tradition, including a reverential manner of speaking of God; God and creation; the Holy Spirit; sin and virtue; eschatology; and the Targums and Johannine literature.
There has been intense examination of most aspects of targumic tradition over recent decades. McNamara draws on these varied sources – including the annotated English translation of all the Targums in the Aramaic Bible – and offers an appendix outlining all extant Targums of the rabbinic tradition. McNamara’s updated overview will be an indispensable resource for scholars of biblical and Jewish studies.

God Who Is There Leaders Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$15.00It can no longer be assumed that most people–or even most Christians–have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don’t know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper context with which to understand God’s story of redemption.
In this basic introduction to faith, D. A. Carson takes seekers, new Christians, and small groups through the big story of Scripture. He helps readers to know what they believe and why they believe it. The companion leader’s guide helps evangelistic study groups, small groups, and Sunday school classes make the best use of this book in group settings.

God In Translation
$43.99God in Translation offers a substantial, extraordinarily broad survey of ancient attitudes toward deities, from the Late Bronze Age through ancient Israel and into the New Testament.
Looking closely at relevant biblical texts and at their cultural contexts, Mark S. Smith demonstrates that the biblical attitude toward deities of other cultures is not uniformly negative, as is commonly supposed. He traces the historical development of Israel’s “one-god worldview,” linking it to the rise of the surrounding Mesopotamian empires. Smith’s study also produces evidence undermining a common modern assumption among historians of religion – that polytheism is tolerant while monotheism is prone to intolerance and violence.

This Is My Beloved Son
$17.99This misunderstood moment-is essential to what it means to be Christian
The Transfiguration of Christ is one of the most impressive and mysterious miracles of Christ, and yet one of the least known and understood biblical events. Yet, it spawned a long tradition of spiritual ascent and contemplative prayer. This book examines the Transfiguration in the context of the Gospel, Christian spirituality, and the traditions of the church.
Andreopoulos explains the Transfiguration-the revelation of the full divinity of Christ in front of his disciples-as a continuous event. He also explains threads that are common in the event of the Transfiguration and in other parts of the gospels, such as “the voice of the Father” heard first at John’s baptism of Jesus. This Is My Beloved is a book that bridges East and West in its pursuit of understanding the power and meaning of what transfiguration meant then, and now.

Brosend spends one chapter on each of these methods, closing each chapter with a sermon that models that approach. Sample sermons are by well-known preachers including Fred Craddock, Michael Curry, Tom Long, and Barbara Brown Taylor. Brosend concludes with a sermon of his own.

In Celebration Of Love Marriage And Sex

Messiah : Developments In Earliest Judaism And Christianity
$75.00How did the Jews from 250 B.C.E. to 200 C.E. conceive and express their beliefs in the coming of God’s Messiah? Why did the Jews closely associated with Jesus of Nazareth claim within ten years of his crucifixion in 30 C.E. that he indeed was the promised Messiah? An international team of prominent Jewish and Christian scholars discuss these and related questions in this volume that stems from the First Princeton Symposium on Judaism and Christian Origins.
The book focuses on the historical and theological importance of the presence or absence of the term “Messiah” and messianic ideas in the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, Philo, the Apocrypha, the Pseudepigrapha, Josephus, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. It clarifies the key issues to be discussed, illustrates the appropriate methodology shared by international experts, and concentrates on the perplexing questions regarding messianic beliefs in Judaism and Christianity before the close of the New Testament and the editing of the Mishnah.

In order to find patterns and concepts that have a bearing on how to read John Neyrey examines the rhetoric of praise and blame described in the ancient encomium, the Greek commonplace on “noble death,” rules for rhetorical conclusions, and Jewish background materials. He then uses materials from cultural anthropology, such as the effects of limited good and envy, secrecy, and brokerage. Even innocent topics such as “time” and “space” have much to say about interpreting the figure of Jesus.
In viewing John through these two lenses, The Gospel of John in Cultural and Rhetorical Perspective brings the book into clear focus as a truly “maverick gospel.”

Beyond The Qumran Community
$29.99With the full publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls, fresh analysis of the evidence presented can be – and indeed, should be – made. Beyond the Qumran Community does just that, reaching a surprising conclusion: the sect described in the Dead Sea Scrolls developed later than has usually been supposed and was never confined to the site of Qumran.
John J. Collins here aims to deconstruct “the Qumran community” and show that the sectarian documents actually come from a text spread throughout the land. He first examines the Community Rule or Yahad. Rather than confirming the general assumption that this rulebook relates to a monastic-style community living at the site of Qumran, Collins finds instead that the Essene accounts themselves emphasize that they had settlements in every city. He also considers the Teacher of Righteousness, a pivotal figure in the Essene movement, discovering that he was probably active in the first century bce rather than in the Maccabean era. After examining the available evidence, Collins concludes that it is, in fact, overwhelmingly likely that the site of Qumran housed merely a single settlement of this widespread movement.

Hebrew Gospel And The Development Of The Synoptic Tradition
$39.99This book offers a new explanation of the development of the first three gospels based on a careful examination of both patristic testimony and internal evidence among the books themselves.
James Edwards posits a number of fascinating theories in his coherent hypothesis of the origins of these gospels. He argues that the original language of the Hebrew Gospel was Hebrew, rather than Aramaic. He further discusses why the Hebrew Gospel is no longer extant, including the role anti-Judaism played in its demise and neglect in Christian scholarship. Perhaps his most controversial assertion, however, comes on the heels of his thorough review of the origin of and scholarly evidence for the “Q” hypothesis proposed by Schleiermacher: Edwards concludes that “Q” is no longer necessary- or even scholarly defensible. Instead the canonical Greek Matthew concludes the synoptic tradition and Mark and Luke draw directly from it.
Each chapter in this book plows new ground and challenges assumptions in the New Testament guild that have long been held but that lack solid evidence. Edwards has written a groundbreaking book that will force scholars to reconsider the way they conceive of the formation of the synoptic tradition.

Priestly Vision Of Genesis 1
$48.33For many readers, Genesis 1-2 is simply the biblical account of creation. But ancient Israel could speak of creation in different ways, and the cultures of the ancient near east provided an even richer repertoire of creation myths. Mark S. Smith explores the nuances of what would become the premiere creation account in the Hebrew Bible and the serene priestly theology that informed it. That vision of an ordered cosmos, Smith argues, is evidence of the emergence of a mystical theology among priests in post-exilic Israel, and the placement of Genesis 1-2 at the beginning of Israel’s great epic is their sustained critique of the theology of divine conflict that saturated ancient near eastern creation myths. Smith’s treatment of Genesis 1 provides rich historical and theological insights into the biblical presentation of creation and the Creator.

New Testament : A Way Into The New Testament
$56.00The SCM Core Text: The Gospels – A Way in to the New Testament is a comprehensive and distinctive undergraduate textbook for use on modules introducing the New Testament. The book provides readers with a way in to the New Testament by offering a framework for understanding the texts within it. Where most introductions will follow the pattern established for the Bible as a whole, by examining the different types of writing, this book tries to do something different and cover both the history of the New Testament era as well as the literature which testifies to it.
The book is split into 6 sections. In the first part the author sketches out the approach, arguing that the New Testament reflects four streams of apostolic tradition, reflected in the 4 gospels. In parts 2-5 the author looks at each tradition in turn, and the final section focuses on Jesus. There are clear bibliographies at the end of each section to guide the reader to the most relevant areas for further research in any given subject area.
The text is deliberately broken down into smaller sections with headings and sub-headings to assist students reading around this subject for the first time. It also contains end of chapter lists of questions for personal reflection which can also be used in tutorial groups and for revision, textboxes, introductions and chapter summaries, as well as a Whos Who in the New Testament.

Revolt Of The Scribes
$35.00In previous studies, Richard A. Horsley has set Jesus in the context of Jewish prophetic and social banditry movements and has elaborated the imperial context of the New Testament writings. Here he surveys responses in Second Temple Jewish literature to the rise of Hellenistic and Roman empires, discovering in a range of apocalyptic writings the traces of a coherent movement of defiance, critique, and resistance to tyranny. Revolt of the Scribes breaks new ground in the study of apocalyptic origins and in our understanding of Jewish life in the Greco-Roman world.
