$35.00Contents
300 Pages/Luke (24 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE GOSPEL OF LUKE“Somehow of all the Gospel writers,” comments Dr. Barclay, “one would have liked to meet Luke best of all.” Happily, Dr. Barclay’s own literary and intellectual talents complement the marvelous appeal of the good physician, so that we may apprehend here, as perhaps never before, the unique, multifaceted excellence of “the loveliest book in the world.” In so many areas, either minimized or neglected by the other writers, Luke reported fully and clearly for everyone.

Letters Of John And Jude
$34.00207 Pages/1, 2, And 3 John (7 Chapters) And Jude (1 Chapter)
Additional Info
THE LETTERS OF JOHN AND JUDEThe four letters in this volume all deal with heretical teachings within the early church. Dr. Barclay describes the various forms in which Gnosticism appeared in I John, pointing out that the notions that the material world and the human body are evil still infect the thinking of some Christians. II and III John are warnings against wandering preachers who taught false doctrines, and against individuals within the church who repudiated the writer’s authority. Jude is a strong indictment of immoral persons (antinomians) who had insinuated themselves into the church.

Revelation Of John 1
$33.00183 Pages/The Revelation Of John, Chapters 1 To 5
Additional Info
THE REVELATION OF JOHN, Volume 1 (Chapters 1 to 5)In this and its companion volume, Dr. Barclay makes the most difficult book in the Bible easier to understand. In his introduction he examines areas such as the characteristics of apocalyptic literature and the nature of Caesar worship. John was, as Dr. Barclay shows, “soaked and saturated” in the Old Testament, and most of the imagery he employs is drawn from that source. Dr. Barclay does more than clarify the meaning of the imagery. His commentary covers the central issues of the book, such as the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the probable facts about John’s exile on the island, and the meaning of Christ’s knocking at the door.

Letter To The Romans
$34.00222 Pages/Romans (16 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE LETTER TO THE ROMANSDr. Barclay’s fresh translation and clear exposition make Paul’s very complicated letter to the church in Rome easier than ever to understand. Both in mood and in method Romans is entirely different from Paul’s other writings. Here he is setting down in a systematic fashion the essence of his faith-bequeathing in a “theological last will and testament” the ideas which have most shaped Christian belief: the questions of righteousness, of the Jews as the Chosen People, and of how people of faith are to live their daily lives. Paul’s deep meanings shine brilliantly here, thanks to Dr. Barclay’s ability to explain the letter to the Romans to every reader.

Letters To The Corinthians
$34.00268 Pages/1 And 2 Corinthians (29 Chapters)
Additional Info
THE LETTERS TO THE CORINTHIANSCorinth was not only one of the most flourishing commercial centers of the ancient world, but also a symbol of the vilest debauchery. “In this hotbed of vice,” Dr. Barclay narrates, “some of the greatest work of Paul was done.” The apostle wrote to the church there, partly to bolster its resistance to the sin and corruption, and equally to chide and counsel on the contentions that were tearing it apart. In the simple, illustrative manner that has endeared him to thousands of students, Dr. Barclay clarifies every passage in Corinthians, showing us how Paul’s advice to the Corinthians can help us live today in the midst of modern temptations.

IVP Print On Demand Title“Scant decades ago most Westerners agreed that…lifelong monogamy was ideal…mothers should stay home with the children…premarital sex was to be discouraged …heterosexuality was the unquestioned norm…popular culture should not corrupt children. Today not a single one of these expectations is uncontroversial.” So writes Rodney Clapp in assessing the status of the family in postmodern Western society. In response many evangelicals have been quick to defend the so-called traditional family, assuming that it exemplifies the biblical model. Clapp challenges that assumption, arguing that the “traditional” family is a reflection more of the nineteenth-century middle-class family than of any family one can find in Scripture. At the same time, he recognizes that many modern and postmodern options are not acceptable to Christians. Returning to the biblical story afresh, Clapp articulates a challenge to both sides of a critical debate.

Paul And The Law
$38.99No 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. Rather than taking a systematic, topical approach, Thielman examines Paul’s view of the law in context; the context of Judaism, the context that gave birth to each letter, and the context of each letter’s language and argument.

Revelation Of John 2
$34.00232 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. Because so many of John’s prophetic utterances relate to Rome, Dr. Barclay devotes many pages to describing the great city as it was under the early Caesars.

Letters To The Galatians And Ephesians
$34.00185 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.

He then discusses the nature of science and common creationist and evolutionist abuses as a prelude to showing why both sides have remained critical of theistic evolution.

Theology Of The First Letter To The Corinthians
$126.66This study shows that the common view of 1 Corinthians as mainly about “ethics” and therefore of little importance for “theology” needs correcting. Many other studies of the letter focus mainly on the details of the Corinthian situation and the moral teachings Paul conveyed to his congregation. While not ignoring these, Furnish’s primary aim is to explore and clarify the theological orientation of 1 Corinthians, and what it can contribute to an understanding of Paul as a theologian. Furnish concludes that 1 Corinthians is important for both ethics and theology.

Male Spiritual Leadership (Student/Study Guide)
$19.9817 Chapters
Additional Info
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.

Endurance In Suffering
$162.66Hebrews 12:1-13 portrays the suffering of its readers with two images: an athletic contest, and God’s fatherly discipline. N. Clayton Croy places this important passage in the context of Jewish and Greco-Roman traditions. He argues that the idea of “training” unites the passage, which presents Jesus as the supreme athlete. It also supports a nonpunitive understanding of discipline, in which God’s children undergo a positive process of education. These ideas combine to support a call in Hebrews to faithful endurance rather than repentance.
