How Can I Get More Out of My Bible Reading? (Church Questions)

By: Jeremy M. Kimble

Reading the Bible is essential to the Christian faith, but many believers struggle to study it faithfully. In this short booklet, Jeremy Kimble explains how the church acts as God’s school, helping us read and follow Scripture through teaching, fellowship, and discipleship. He also gives advice to improve your own Scripture reading so you can understand the big picture, ask good questions, and apply what you learn.

• What's new to me:  

Zotero 10

We’re excited to announce Zotero 10, which adds a host of powerful new features for searching and managing your library, a major improvement to Read Aloud, and a new Reading Mode for PDFs.

More-Advanced Advanced Search

Advanced search is now available via a filter button in the quick-search bar, and it opens right above the items list in the main window. You can filter any view, including collections or saved searches, and immediately work with the results.

Searches are now much more powerful, with support for nested condition groups and automatic mapping of conditions across levels of the hierarchy. It’s now trivial to, say, search for top-level items with a given author AND (a descendant annotation that is either yellow OR red). For any search, you pick what result level you want to find (e.g., “top-level items” or “annotations”), and the search conditions you use will automatically be mapped to that result level. So you can find top-level items even if you’re searching for annotation content two levels below or find all annotations underneath top-level items with a given tag. Searching for attachments within collections or combining conditions across the hierarchy used to require chaining multiple saved searches, and those searches can now be represented easily in a single search.

Clicking the advanced-search button with something entered into the quick-search bar will automatically populate an equivalent advanced search. Since the advanced-search pane persists when you click between collections, this also addresses the longstanding request to be able to pin searches when moving between collections.

Finally, we’ve added various new search conditions for annotations (e.g., “Annotation Color”) and counts (e.g., “# of Notes”) as well as “is empty” and “is not empty” operators.

Engaging with the Holy Spirit: Real Questions, Practical Answers

By: Graham A. Cole

Despite the growth of the charismatic movement and Pentecostal churches, people still have questions—and even concerns—about the person and work of the Holy Spirit. These real questions are the focus of this book, which seeks to sequentially address six crucial questions that affect a person’s relationship to the Spirit: • What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? • How does a person resist him? • Ought we to pray to the Spirit? • How do we quench the Spirit? • How do we gri...

St. Thomas Aquinas: Teacher of Truth

This concise introduction to the essential wisdom of St. Thomas makes his philosophy and his theology equally concrete and accessible, illuminating the relationship between them in the light of an embracing vision of Christianity. Francis Selman provides a fresh and lucid account of St. Thomas’ writings on the main topics of the Christian faith: the Trinity, Christ, grace, the sacraments, and the moral life. At the same time, he explains the philosophy of St. Thomas in clear language, bringing out the intertwined themes of existence and truth in a way that shows it to be of continuing interest for modern philosophy and natural science. St. Thomas’ theology is shown to lead to prayer, culminating in contemplation or the beholding of truth, and ultimately to the blessed life of happiness, based on the virtues of faith, hope and charity. In a period which lacks a coherent world-view, Selman demonstrates how Aquinas can help us to regain a sense of the world as a unity.
