Exodus (Apollos Old Testament Commentary | AOT) Evangelical scholar, 2 volumes!

[free audio] Spurgeon's All of Grace
The free audiobook of the month
All of Grace
FREE audiobook download for this month (normally $10.98)
Charles Spurgeon is one of the great preachers in the history of
Christianity. Spurgeon also communicates brilliantly through the written
word, and his giftedness to proclaim the doctrine of grace shines in
his little gem, All of Grace. Many Christians believe that this small
book presents better than any other non-canonical work the gospel of
salvation alone by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This short book
is one of the bright jewels in post-apostolic writings on grace.
All of Grace is a perfect companion for Christians who wish to refresh
their confidence in the grace of God. This book also makes an excellent
introduction to those who are exploring the Christian gospel. Whether
you are new to Christianity or a long-time believer, All of Grace will
capture your attention and interest page after page.

Christian Philosophy in the Early Church
The first followers of Jesus were not drawn from the intellectual and social elite of their day, but rather from artisans, tax collectors, and the more disreputable members of society. Yet out of such seemingly insignificant beginnings, a seed was planted by his teaching, his cross, and his resurrection which was destined to spread its shade over the entire known world. What had begun as an essentially Jewish movement founded on the preaching of the Messiah became, with amazing speed, a religion that was accepted by pagans, Goths, Franks, and more. This book traces the growth of the church and the development of Christian philosophy through the first centuries.

The Trinity, Practically Speaking
Three
Gods, or One, or Three-in-One? Since the word "trinity" does not appear
in the Bible, many people wonder whether the doctrine is anything more
than an intellectual puzzle created by theologians. This book takes
readers on a guided tour of the logic leading to understanding God as a
trinity.

How does your personal faith journey relate to the big picture of the Bible?
Christians often encounter various Bible passages through unrelated readings, studies, and sermons, making it difficult to grasp the progression of Scripture as a whole. Living God's Word surveys the entire Bible through broad themes that trace the progression of God's redemptive plan, focusing on how each portion of Scripture fits into the overarching narrative. Once you see the Bible as a Great Story, you'll begin to see how your own life fits into what God has done and is doing in the world.
Each section of Living God's Word deals with a section of Scripture and includes:
- Reading and listening preparation
- An explanation
- A summary
- Observations about theological significance
- Connections to the Great Story
- Written assignments for further study
Living God's Word is ideal for introductory college courses, adult Sunday school classes, small groups, or anyone who wants to understand how their life fits into the story of the Bible, enabling them to live faithfully in deep and important ways.

- Anchor Yale Bible series for this month. Those I list below are good ones
Ephesians 1–3 (The Anchor Yale Bible | AYBC)
Encompassing the body of Pauline theology, Ephesians has been called “the crown of St. Paul’s writings,” yet both its authorship and addressees are the subject of continuing dispute. Through line-by-line examination of its vocabulary, its difficult style, its Qumran and Gnostic affinities, its parallels with and distinctions from the undisputed Pauline corpus, its use of the Old Testament, and its dialogue with orthodox and heretical Judaism, Markus Barth demonstrates that Paul was almost certainly the author. And, after exploring previous explications of this hymnic and admonitory epistle in detail, he concludes that it was intended for gentile Christians converted after Paul’s visits to Ephesus.

Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul
Paul’s letters, the earliest writings in the New Testament, are filled with allusions, images, and quotations from the Old Testament, or, as Paul called it, Scripture. In this book, Richard B. Hays investigates Paul’s appropriation of Scripture from a perspective based on recent literary-critical studies of intertextuality. His uncovering of scriptural echoes in Paul’s language enriches our appreciation of the complex literary texture of Paul’s letters and offers new insights into his message.

The Letter of James (The Anchor Yale Bible | AYBC)
The letter of James is one of the most significant, yet generally overlooked, New Testament books. Because Martin Luther, leader of the Protestant Reformation, disliked this letter for its emphasis on good deeds, the book has come to be viewed as being in opposition to Paul’s letters, which emphasize faith in God. To correct these and other misconceptions about James, Luke Timothy Johnson embarks on an unprecedented history of the interpretation of this pivotal letter, highlighting the vast appreciation for James over the centuries.

Romans (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentary | AYBC)
Outside of the Gospels themselves, there is no single Christian document whose influence has been greater than Paul’s epistle to the Romans. Its explosive character has changed lives—Augustine’s, Martin Luther’s, Karl Barth’s, to name a few—and precipitated revolutions. This full-scale commentary deals with the most important issues of the early Christian church. And it is through the eyes of the apostle Paul, the major figure of this period, that we see dominant motifs and themes, the theological essentials of the Christian faith. Who better than the once pious Jew, converted to the Christian cause, to tell the reader about the early struggles with Judaism, the reluctant yet nurturing mother of this new community of faith?

Revelation (Anchor Yale Bible Commentary | AYBC)
In this landmark commentary, Craig R. Koester offers a comprehensive look at a powerful and controversial early Christian text, the book of Revelation. The author provides richly textured descriptions of the book’s setting and language, making extensive use of Greek and Latin inscriptions, classical texts, and ancient Jewish writings, including the Dead Sea Scrolls. Rather than viewing Revelation as world-negating, Koester focuses on its deep engagement with social, religious, and economic issues while addressing the book’s volatile history of interpretation. The result is a groundbreaking study that provides bold new insights and sets new directions for the continued appreciation of this text.

2 Peter, Jude (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentary | AYBC)
Jerome H. Neyrey gives us a thoroughly up-to-date and comprehensive study of two of the most obscure books of the New Testament. Written after the death of Jesus and his Apostles, the Epistles of 2 Peter and Jude offer a glimpse into the turbulent life of the early Christian communities. Neyrey’s fascinating study not only provides an entirely new translation of the two texts, but also stirring commentary that takes the reader inside groups located at the very edges of Christianity, in contact with the wider Roman world and Greek culture of the day.
