Philippians (The Crossway Classic Commentaries | CCC)

For hundreds of years Christendom has been blessed with Bible commentaries written by great men of God highly respected for their godly walk and their insight into spiritual truth. The Crossway Classic Commentaries present the very best work on individual Bible books, carefully adapted for maximum understanding and usefulness for today's believers. Many Christians consider the apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians a special treasure. Its grand themes of spiritual joy and vitality, the self-humbling Savior who gave His life for us, the good news of a salvation that is superior to the boastings of the flesh—these and other gems still nurture followers of Jesus Christ today. This classic commentary will deeply encourage all who long to draw closer to God.

Justification and Variegated Nomism, Volume I: The Complexities of Second Temple Judaism

In the time since the publication of E. P.

Editors D. A. Carson, Mark Seifrid, and Peter O’Brien bring together over a dozen experts in these thick volumes to provide a fresh, new look at Paul with special awareness of th...

In Search of the Common Good: Christian Fidelity in a Fractured World

ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist - Faith and Culture Christianity Today Book of the Year Award, Politics and Public Life. Common life in our society is in decline. Jake Meador diagnoses our society's decline as the failure of a particular story we've told about ourselves: the story of modern liberalism. He shows us how that story has led to our collective loss of meaning, wonder, and good work, and then recovers each of these by grounding them in a different story—a story rooted in the deep tradition of the Christian faith.

The Scandal of the Incarnation: Irenaeus Against the Heresies

Saint Irenaeus was the first great Christian theologian. Born in Asia Minor in about 130 AD, he became bishop of Lyons and died as a martyr early in the third century. His main work, Adversus Haereses (Against the Heresies), is as relevant today as it was 1,800 years ago. It is a critique of Gnosticism, the “anti-body” heresy, which continues to flourish as the main threat to the Christian faith in our own day. With serenity and good humor, Irenaeus unfolds the unity of God’s purpose in creation...
