"Free Grace" Theology

Theology

“This book is charitable yet rock-solid in its penetrating insights regarding the Free Grace movement. The soteriology of this movement is thoroughly consistent—and deeply flawed. Grudem has addressed a number of the key issues and texts in a gracious and gentle manner. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the Free Grace movement and its implications for the gospel.”

A New Apostolic Reformation?

Theology

“Geivett and Pivec have produced an eye-opening exposé of a rapidly growing phenomenon. The New Apostolic Reformation is increasing its numbers at an alarming rate, and is something that must be addressed by the church today. The authors have offered a carefully documented, balanced, and fair treatment of the NAR. Their penetrating analysis of the claims of NAR is biblically and logically powerful, and at times even brilliant. If you re not yet familiar with this movement, you need to be and you need to read this book!”

A Skeptic’s Investigation into Jesus

Apologetics

“Mathematics professor, Julie Hannah, was on a metaphysical quest. She was profoundly skeptical about the historical basis of the Christian faith and determined to dig down and get to the facts—at all costs. . . . Pursuing truth is simultaneously a liberating and dangerous endeavor. It led Julie to embrace more than she bargained for. Devour this volume with an open mind. You too may find yourself on a dangerous, yet liberating, path.”

An Interpretive Lexicon of New Testament Greek

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“One of the most challenging tasks in language acquisition is mastering the small words that are the warp and woof of an author’s thought. Frequently, these words reveal the logical flow of a discourse and are thus crucial for understanding a given text. Gathering up the data from reference works, principally BDAG, Greg Beale and company have laid out the material in a way that focuses on the various kinds of logical relationships intended by the author. Systematically labeling each word in this lexicon according to sound discourse analysis principles, they have produced a volume whose time has come.”

An Introduction to the Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This introduction to The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge took me by surprise. Textual criticism is an arcane discipline not well served by the combative and abstruse writing of many of its practitioners. Jongkind’s elegant yet almost carefree style, however, is refreshing for its clarity, simplicity, and irenic tone. This book is a delight to read on its own. The author goes to great lengths to make The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge accessible. His introduction is even an excellent primer on New Testament textual criticism. Jongkind introduces the reader to manuscripts, textual theory, praxis, major textual problems, and even brief theological reflections on the reality of textual variants. It is no easy task to render this field of study within the grasp of any interested reader, and Dirk Jongkind has done so in a remarkably disarming manner.”

Basics of Greek Accents

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Greek accents are a seemingly impenetrable haze to most students of the New Testament. John Lee’s Basics of Greek Accents cuts through the fog in a pedagogically humane way. Well laid out and easy to digest, this book offers a straightforward, step-by-step approach to the acquisition of Greek accentuation for any who want to master this language. I recommend it even for the beginner because knowledge of the accents is essential for learning the language properly from the get-go. It is much easier to have good habits of pronunciation from the start than to unlearn bad habits later on.”

Exegetical Fallacies

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The first edition of Carson's Exegetical Fallacies became an instant classic. And now, thirty years later, Carson and Naselli have improved this classic by adding 30 percent more material, making the language more user-friendly and the discussions more relevant to today's readers, supplying short definitions of each fallacy, and adding a treatment of literary and theological fallacies. This third edition of Exegetical Fallacies is needed now more than ever as evangelical Bible teachers are becoming, in the authors' words, 'frequently and inexcusably sloppy.' Teachers of Scripture have a grave responsibility, and this new edition is a wake-up call for that sacred duty. It needs to be close at hand for all those entrusted with a ministry of the Word.”

How the Spirit Became God

Theology

“When did the ancient church recognize the full deity of the Holy Spirit? And what brought it to this conclusion? Hughes not only connects the dots through early patristic exegesis but also through the lived experience of the saints of old. The Triune God is seen, in the end, to be every bit as much the One we know as the One we trust, every bit as much the fount of our Credo as he in whom we find our life.”

Kingdom Triangle

Apologetics

“long, bony finger of truth into the crevices of my mind, heart, and soul. This is a no-holes-barred tome on real spirituality. J. P. lays out an agenda for becoming a holistic Christian, and in so doing, he dons the garb of philosopher, psychologist, and pastor. Passion fills every page. You know that he lives this message! Not everyone will agree with everything that he says, but all will be challenged to think through their views and values. Kingdom Triangle is highly recommended. Strap yourself in and get ready for a great ride!”

Myths and Mistakes in New Testament Textual Criticism

Apologetics

“The authors in this book offer a necessary corrective to decades of overly exuberant apologetic arguments—arguments that have actually hurt the Christian faith. The writers are refreshingly honest, and they do not pull their punches. They observe poignantly that apologetic works on the reliability of the New Testament text have been drifting away from a proper, well-researched, accurately documented scholarship that is anchored to actual data. Apologists have had a tendency to regurgitate other apologetic works, which in turn are based on other apologetic works. Meanwhile, the scholarship that is supposedly behind the popular declarations in many an evangelical trade book is out-of-date, misunderstood, or simply ignored. These young scholars have something to say—not only to Christian speakers and writers but to non-Christian speakers and writers and even to New Testament scholars of all stripes. I was happily stunned to see the depth of discussion, the candid examination, and the up-to-date bibliography in each chapter. Although Myths and Mistakes in New Testament Textual Criticism is written in clear, user-friendly prose, the contents are well-grounded and perspicacious. I intend to utilize this volume unapologetically in my introduction as a primary source for several analyses.”

Portrait of an Apostle

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Portrait of an Apostle lays bare the naked emperor of critical scholarship with a sustained historical and exegetical defense of Pauline authorship of two disputed letters in the corpus Paulinum. MaGee is to be applauded for the evidence he has marshaled for a view that is too often glossed over without genuine interaction.”

The Heresy of Orthodoxy

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Köstenberger and Kruger have produced a volume that is oozing with common sense and is backed up with solid research and documentation. This work is a comprehensive critique of the Bauer-Ehrman thesis that the earliest form of Christianity was pluralistic, that there were multiple Christianities, and that heresy was prior to orthodoxy. Respectful yet without pulling any punches, The Heresy of Orthodoxy at every turn makes a convincing case that the Bauer-Ehrman thesis is dead wrong. All those who have surrendered to the siren song of postmodern relativism and tolerance, any who are flirting with it, and everyone concerned about what this seismic sociological-epistemological shift is doing to the Christian faith should read this book.”
