New Releases for November 2008
1 & 2 Samuel (TOTC)
Joyce Baldwin explores the meaning of the biblical history of Israel's vital transition from a confederation of tribes to nationhood under a king. The stories of Samuel, Saul and David are among the most memorable in the Old Testament.
2 Chronicles (TOTC)
The Chronicler wrote as a pastoral theologian. Martin Selman's volume on 2 Chronicles builds on the groundwork laid by its companion in 1 Chronicles, and provides an excellent interpretation of these neglected yet profound Old Testament books.
The Fight
In this classic guide to the Christian life, John White introduces the key areas in which we must wrestle time and again. He lets us see our enemies. And he gives us the encouragement to persevere in the battle.
Global Dictionary of Theology
This volume is inspired by the shift of the centre of Christianity from the West to the global South, and reflects the increase in two-way traffic between these two sectors, in an age of unprecedented global awareness.
Joshua (TOTC)
The book of Joshua memorializes a transitional episode in Israel's history, and is foremost a story of God, who works powerfully, fulfilling his covenant promises to Israel. Richard S. Hess explores the historical, theological and literary dimensions of the book.
'L' is for Lifestyle
How can we live more responsibly? Ruth Valerio highlights the threats to people and our planet, God's beloved creation. By adjusting our lifestyle and making small changes, we can live in a way that is both fair and simple.
Ministry by the Book
Derek Tidball provides a comprehensive survey of New Testament models and patterns for 'full-time' or 'professional' Christian ministry and pastoral leadership. His fresh, scholarly engagement with the texts is intended primarily for those established in ministry, or training for it.
Pathway to Jesus
People make different journeys to faith, but many of these exhibit common phases. The authors illustrate each stage with real stories, examine factors that move people from one to the next, and offer suggestions for helping them to do so.
Paul the Missionary
Eckhard Schnabel draws on his research in Early Christian Mission to provide a manageable study of Paul's missionary work. He clarifies our understanding, expands our knowledge and corrects our misconceptions. In the final chapter, he examines Christian mission today.
We Become what we Worship
The heart of the biblical understanding of idolatry, argues Gregory Beale, is that we take on the characteristics of what we worship. Employing Isaiah 6 as his interpretative lens, Beale demonstrates that this understanding of idolatry permeates the whole Bible.
