The Birth of Christianity

History & Biography

“Pastors and teachers who seek a biblically based, historical guide to the earliest years of the Christian movement will welcome Paul Barnett's synthetic work. Accepting the Acts of the Apostles as an 'equal primary source' to Paul's letters, Barnett provides a chronological and christological reconstruction of this much-contested period. This vintage work represents the fruition of a lifetime of study of the New Testament period by a veteran Christian scholar and church leader.”

Where the Waters Part

History & Biography

“James Ward thoughtfully narrates the history of his family—‘Scotch-Irish’ immigrants to the United States—across nine generations. The story skillfully shows how the intertwined ideals of freedom and authenticity both guide and help to explain many of the key issues and life decisions of the family. Readers interested in American immigration, family genealogy, and/or social history will especially find this work to be revealing and useful.”
