Chained Paul might be, this joyful prisoner of the Lord never wrote more warmly nor more wisely than in this letter to his friends in Philippi. Yet the apostle is not blind to faults, even of loyal brethren for whom he has a special affection. Evidently there was some dissension in this lively Christian community, due to personal jealousies and animosities. Unfortunately, the same can be just as true today. The Gospel is still at times preached from motives of selfish ambition and rivalry. All of us are still inclined to look after our own interests only. And fine Christian workers are still quarreling. This letter serves as a firm word of warning and a guide for right living.

Most of the works of St. Augustine of Hippo (354–430) have been extant and studied for centuries by Christians throughout the world. Since this Doctor of the Western Church has long been the best known and most widely read of the Latin Fathers, it is so much more unexpected that a previously unknown work should be found. Johannes Divjak found not only a single work but in fact a whole collection of letters, which he published in a critical Latin edition in 1980.
This volume contains the first English translation of these newly discovered letters. The letters range in size from short memoranda to long treatises on various subjects. In addition, there are three other previously unknown letters: two written to Augustine by Consentius, a North African rhetorician, and one written by Saint Jerome to Aurelius of Carthage.
Few Christian writings have had the world-changing impact of St Paul’s epistles to the churches, and yet from the very beginning these works proved themselves to be tricky texts. The Second Letter of Peter, commenting about them, says: “There are some things in them that are hard to understand” (2 Pet 3:16). Indeed! To this day many issues of their interpretation remain highly contested.
In this book, Anthony Thiselton grasps the nettle and examines forty puzzling passages from Paul’s epistles. He considers the various scholarly proposals about their meaning and offers his own reflections in the hope of dispersing fog and shedding light, and of expounding a coherent and self-consistent Paul.
Throughout much of the twentieth century the Fourth Gospel took a back seat to the Synoptics when it came to historical reliability. Consequently, the contemporary quest of the historical Jesus discounted or excluded evidence from the Fourth Gospel. The question of the historical reliability of John’s Gospel is well overdue for a thorough reinvestigation and reassessment. In this foundational study, Craig L. Blomberg sheds new light on persistent questions. He presents his conclusions largely i...

Romans has been described as the theological epistle par excellence. The apostle Paul emphasizes that salvation is by God’s grace alone, and gives the assurance that freedom, hope, and the gift of righteousness are secured through Christ’s death on the cross, with the promise of a new and glorious destiny. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can discern and do the will of God in everyday life. God’s purpose is to bring Jews and Gentiles together so that they may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one voice. David Garland offers clear guidance along the rewarding, though sometimes difficult, paths of this great letter.

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.

God encourages you to experience great joy in following Jesus
God
has given humans freedom and permission to play--to fully enjoy life's
moments as he intended, with no ulterior motive. The Christian life
without play becomes malformed, and believers can miss aspects of the
abundant life Jesus came to give.
In A Theology of Play, Kevin
Gushiken builds a case for getting serious about play as a vital element
of being a Christian. "Play," he writes, "is not merely an activity but
a way of living." Gushiken explores play from various biblical and
theological lenses:
How an identity grounded in God's good creation invites us to play
The connection between play and the biblical concept of Sabbath
Why past hurts don't have to keep us from enjoying the present
Releasing false guilt and shame to find true freedom to Play
How to play in the midst of difficulty and pain
Ultimately,
knowing and enjoying God brings freedom and pleasure. A Theology of
Play helps Christian believers identify barriers to play in their
day-to-day lives and offers faithful guidance in recapturing play within
the rhythms of life.
This volume examines Calvin’s thought and impact on political ideas. Not only does it set forth the Reformer’s political ideas in his own words from multiple sources but it also shows how his germinal political ideas were furthered and spread by his disciples, both in Europe and to the West. Calvin’s political formulations on republicanism, decentralized government, and open democracies provide one of his most lasting contributions. Calvin’s disciples—beginning with Theodore Beza, Francois Hotman, John Ponet, and John Knox—spread many of the ideas that are now widely accepted in free governments. Historically, there is a clear before and a discernible after in terms of governmental forms, and Calvinism is one of the major fuel rods for that massive change. Calvin contributed and buttressed ideas like the consent of the governed, open elections, checks-and-balances within government, civil liberty, the right to oppose tyrannical governments, and the need for constitutionalism....

In the inspired poems of the Psalms, we find the full range of human emotions laid bare before the heart of God. Pastor-theologian Richard D. Phillips provides thoughtful, devotional commentary on the psalms of Book 2 (Psalms 42–72), which is distinctive for its variety of authors. He shows that in the spiritual walk of faith, these psalmists take believers by the hand and guide us in our communion with God, pointing always to Christ.

The message is basic but profound. We want guests to know they are
welcome to the church. This book is a gift to guests to communicate that
very message.
Bestselling author Thom S. Rainer (I Am a Church Member, Autopsy of a
Deceased Church) has created a tool for churches to become more
hospitable through a brief, welcoming book that introduces the ministry
of the local church to guests. We Want You Here is a clear and
instructive message to be given to church guests. Rainer facilitates the
follow up conversation that every pastor would have, if they had the
opportunity. By giving away the book to guests, they are encouraged, in a
non-intrusive manner, to continue to reflect on the decision to visit
their church.
Those churches who share We Want You Here will be able to tell their guests:
• We Really Want You Here
• This is Not a Place for Perfect People
• We Would Like to Get to Know You
• This is Where Families Grow Strong
• Getting to Know the One Who Made Us
• Come Make a Difference with Us
• Thank You for Being Here
New Short History of the Catholic Church is a concise history of the Christian people with principal focus on the Catholic Church. Having passed AD 2000, it seems appropriate and necessary to have a readable history of the first two millennia of the Christian era.
