A Biblical-Theological Introduction to the Old Testament
Theology
“Van Pelt and his colleagues offer every worshiper of Christ a means of drawing out the one story of the King and his kingdom as it runs through the Law and the Prophets. Their analyses of the individual books of the Old Testament reveal the beauty of the whole canon. A Biblical-Theological Introduction to the Old Testament is intellectually enriching and pastorally faithful, helping the church to grow in love for the Savior through reading the Hebrew Bible. Congregants and Bible students will find great joy in reading their Scriptures with the aid of this work!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Piper bequeaths an outstanding—and at times, risky—work on race and ethnicity, thoroughly soaked in the biblical Christian Hedonism worldview. I found that Piper’s personal testimony from the 1960s until now and his exploration of critical thinking of African American writers past and present demonstrate the complexity of dealing honestly with the topic for the evangelical who seeks to honor the Savior. He is right: on race, ‘we have fallen together.’ The only question that remains is whether or not individual members of the evangelical church in America will take deeply to heart this sincere analysis of the cross of Christ and race and then become a steadfast holy force for undoing the problems of racism in North America and the world.”
Charismatic Leadership and Missional Change
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Multiethnic and missional, transgenerational and economically diverse, and passionate for Christ to reach all peoples. . . . Craig provides a winsome, personal, practical, and reachable path for many churches to experience the fullness of the local church as he has experienced it.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Every Waking Hour will help believers see their work, vocation, volunteerism, rest, and leisure as integral parts of the display of the kingdom of Christ in the spheres of man. Erasing the false dichotomy between sacred and secular callings, this work offers a redemptive-historical message that frames each believer's daily activities within the mission of Christ to the nations. Quinn and Strickland bring Ephesians 4:12 to life!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Gives great acclamation to black church worship, black preaching, and the black Christian experience, rightly showing the strength of Reformed theology for these traditions. I hope Experiencing the Truth will be an impetus to move the African-American church from the self-deprecating darkness of theological liberalism into the divinely nourishing light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
Expository Reflections on the Gospels, Volume 3
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Following some of the best Protestant expository traditions, Doug O’Donnell’s lucid expositions of Mark remind us how to read the Gospels as the anchor of the New Testament and the centerpiece of the story of Jesus the Messiah! Lovers of the second Gospel should have this volume before them regularly. Each sermonic chapter faithfully explains the significance of Mark’s portrayal of redemption in the promised Son for us. My joy in reading Mark deepened with the turn of every page of this work.”
Finding Faithful Elders and Deacons
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Finding Faithful Elders and Deacons offers the sort of meditations from the Pastoral Epistles that would-be elders and deacons-in-training need. Yet, pastors and laymen alike will find these chapters to be insightful and poignant, for they are faithful to Scripture, culturally contextualized, and able to be implemented immediately. I am encouraged to think that there are thousands of well-meaning churches peddling along with mediocre religious practice that could be transformed into vibrant, Christ-pleasing, soul-winning, community-transforming churches if the officers of their congregations would humbly embrace the simple exhortations of this gracious work.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Blomberg and Johnson provide a credible sociological context for the situation that occasioned James’s letter to the diaspora believers. Their development of the overlapping roles of single- and double-mindedness and human flourishing as key themes in James’s thought is fascinating. Scholar and protégé seek to meet the interpretive demands of historical, systematic, and biblical theology with an eye to supporting the modern local shepherd. This is a tremendous volume that belongs in the library of anyone embarking on serious study of this early New Testament work.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“With irenic tone Bradley reveals the theological justification of racial separation inherent within the victimization philosophy of both first generation and second generation black theology. His analysis demonstrates how the vision of Cone and his intellectual offspring contributes to rather than resolves DuBois' problem of the twentieth (now twenty-first!) century.”
Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel
Theology
“Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel lifts our eyes above the contemporary debates over complementarianism and egalitarianism, feminism and patriarchy, same-sex unions, and divorce and remarriage. Ortlund places our focus on the glory of the cosmic love story, and the joy-filled hope this story offers for finding true romantic love in a fallen world. This is biblical theology at its best.”
Men
“Personal, vulnerable, well-researched, compassionately argued, and affirming of a grand biblical vision of manhood as the Lord intended, Zach Wagner's Non-Toxic Masculinity is a welcome gift to the church. Wagner de-weaponizes male embodied advantage and human sexuality so that we might have a vision of masculinity that honors the human dignity of all persons. Any man with a hopeful vision for exemplifying Christ as single or married, in any season of life, should consider Wagner's presentation of God-fearing, fully male manliness. Any believer who hopes to promote healthy, Spirit-empowered manhood to the generations to come should soak up the portrayal of God's redemptive vision for manhood in the pages of this work.”
Christian Living
“The diminishing of the believer's ability to wait, endure hardship, patiently suffer, and bear with others demonstrates a loss of Christian perspectives on time, the meaning of being human, human dignity, and Christian hope. On Waiting Well powerfully reorients us to the biblical portrait of purposefully and lovingly waiting on our God and Savior to fulfill every promise in and to us, while mysteriously doing good to us at all times for His glory. The church in the postmodern era has awaited words to help reset and resituate her with our historical understanding of living in light of Christ's soon return, and Baurain offers such to us faithfully.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Kim and Hoffman know well the challenges facing pulpits in fostering true unity among believers. Rightly, they exhort faithful homileticians to listen to various social perspectives as a means of informing authentic Christian preaching. More now than ever, the preacher’s personal development as an emotionally, culturally, and historically intelligent shepherd contributes to the ability to proclaim the Scriptures in a way that makes the church a greater agent of righteousness and love in society. For the sake of the healing of divided nations everywhere, may all preachers eagerly hear this exhortation with ears of grace.”
Preaching & Worship
“With the foresight of a futurologist, the passion of a missionary, the care of a shepherd, and the cultural awareness of a sage, Ryan Roach reveals the hope and power of exposition that honors the Savior of the whole world. The double task every preacher has—to be both intercultural and transcultural—seeks the very goal of the gospel: that people of all nations might be blessed. This work gives the exhortation for making this a reality in every pulpit.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Many introductory homiletics textbooks are very similar in content, style, and approach. They have a basic outline to move someone from the text to the sermon. But Matthew Kim's Ready to Preach breaks that mold. Coming from a seasoned academic and practitioner, this work is trinitarian-focused, is sensitive to cultural concepts related to gender and ethnicity, and demonstrates the centrality of preaching to all the other aspects of developing disciples within a local congregation. Those who labor weekly to preach the text of Scripture with faithfulness, depth, and clarity will welcome this work.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The gifted contributors to Technē have provided a path to a hermeneutic for the church’s engagement with modern technology. Saving us from being both anti-technological monks and unbridled technological zealots, in Technē we have encounters with the use of technology that will allow pastor theologians and academic pastors to disciple believers to be tech-wise. I greatly enjoyed learning from them how to see technology as a significant part of the story of redemption.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Torah Mosaic offers a masterful exploration of the threads that bind together the author’s intention in the Torah. McKenzie has a keen eye for the Hebrew Bible’s strategic reuse of words and themes to pull forward the prophetic voice of Genesis into later passages. I am thrilled that the church has a work that draws attention to the Pentateuch’s signposts pointing to the ‘Lion King’ from Israel who will come in the end of days to fulfill the redemptive hope of humanity.”
Christian Living
“Bentz is right. Church is a group of struggling sinners who must pursue one another in love as God’s community! It is essential for us to embrace this calling with joy if we are to declare the glory of the Lord to all peoples. There is no greener-grass assembly or ideal congregation; each assembly and every church member is in need of greater grace, patience, mercy, humility, and endurance from the Spirit of God. The church for whom our Savior died has a splendor that works in the midst of messiness. The Unfinished Church is a great exhortation to live out the gospel as people being conformed to the image of Christ.”
United to Christ, Walking in the Spirit
Theology
“With strong exegetical support of his biblical theology, and with equally strong biblical theology considerations guiding his exegetical analysis, United to Christ, Walking in the Spirit is a gift to the body of Christ. In this small volume, Benjamin Merkle gives a masterful reading of Ephesians’ argument and individual themes. He reads in concert with the best scholarship on Ephesians as he explains Paul’s understanding of the role of the church in the decree of God—in redemptive history—and the treasures of the individual elements that are part of the web of our salvation. Anyone wishing to enjoy the book of Ephesians with greater depth and joy should have this work close at hand.”
What Is a Healthy Church Member?
Christian Living
“Thabiti Anyabwile’s What Is a Healthy Church Member? asks the right questions about the offer of church membership, calling each local body of believers to cultivate and sustain practices of an assembly formed by the gospel. It is a most practical manual, yet it is free from the religious utilitarianism that often marks seeker-oriented works in this genre. Any leadership and laity that would elect to read this book together and embrace its exhortations would find their life as the family of God increasing in its wisdom, power, love, and witness in the world. What a balm we all will find in the words of this book!”
