The Cradle, the Cross, and
the Crown guides serious New Testament students through the historical,
literary, and theological dimensions of the biblical text, allowing them
to better understand and share God’s “word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15).
It offers a thorough introduction to all twenty-seven books of the New
Testament and closely examines events such as Christ’s incarnation and
virgin birth, his crucifixion and resurrection, and triumphant return.
"Faithful criticism" characterizes volumes in The New
International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT), and is widely
recognized by pastors, students, and scholars alike for its attention to
the text of Scripture, its currency with contemporary scholarship, and
its service to the global church.
The interpretive work reflected in these commentaries is based on
careful study of the Greek text, but commentary readers need not be
practiced in the biblical languages to benefit from them. In the same
way, NICNT volumes reflect serious work in technical areas — such as
linguistics, textual criticism, and historical concerns — but the
commentary itself focuses on understanding the text rather than
navigating scholarly debates. Readers can turn to the footnotes and
excursuses for more specialized interaction with the Greek text and
engagement with critical issues and literature.

our brains negatively, causing cycles of bad choices and experiences.

unhealthy emotional dysfunctions and related behavioral patterns in the

experiences, overcome fears, experience emotional and spiritual healing,
and ultimately rewire our brains, empowering us to be free and to live
fearlessly.

“Erik
Raymond is one of my favorite writers. Discontentment is one of my
deepest struggles. What a joy, then, to have this author speak wisely,
biblically, and pastorally about the value, the importance, and the
pursuit of contentment.” ―Tim Challies, blogger, Challies.com Your price: $0.00
In Interpreting the Pentateuch, Old Testament
scholar Peter T. Vogt overviews the major themes of the Pentateuch and
offers strategies for interpretation by exploring its genres: law and
narrative. Divided into three parts, Interpreting the Pentateuch first
provides an overview of the major themes of the Pentateuch. In the
second part, Vogt offers resources and strategies for interpreting and
understanding the first five books of the Bible by exploring its
genres-law and narrative. Finally, Vogt shows that, although the
Pentateuch is a collection of ancient texts, it still has contemporary
significance. Providing two start-to-finish examples of proper
exegesis, he shows that, although the Pentateuch is a collection of
ancient texts, it still has contemporary significance.

A Commentary on 1 & 2 Chronicles (Kregel Exegetical Library)
The trauma of the destruction of Jerusalem
and the temple, the exile of thousands of Judea’s citizens, and the
subsequent return after 70 years to the homeland with the difficult task
of starting the new covenant community virtually from scratch—all
contributed to a reassessment of Israel’s meaning and destiny. The
chronicler-theologian thus composed his work not just as a history of
his people from their ancient beginnings but as an interpreted history,
one designed to offer hope to the beleaguered community as well as to
issue warnings that should they fall back into the ways of their fathers
they could expect the judgment of God to be repeated.
With
real-life detective stories, fascinating strategies, and biblical
insights, Wallace teaches readers cold-case investigative disciplines
they can apply to their Christian faith. Forensic Faith is an engaging, fresh look at what it means to be a Christian. Your price: $0.00
Foundations of Systematic Theology examines Christian
doctrine and argues that a full Christian theology much be fully aware
of its own doctrinal tradition, particularly the unity of faith through
history, and also of its awareness of hermeneutics and philosophy,
especially epistemology. Guarino argues that revelation and faith must
not, and indeed cannot, be chained to non-foundationalist metaphysics.
Anything less detaches Christianity’s self-understanding from its own
true claims.
