Cover of A Prophet Mighty in Deed and Word

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jeff Kennedy undertakes a thorough engagement with historical Jesus studies and the literacy debate concerning first-century Judaism. He offers an historically convincing portrait of Jesus as a capable public reader (Luke 4:16–30) who set into motion the traditions remembering Jesus’s miraculous ministry, prophetic form, and claims of divine authority. Kennedy offers an essential analysis of the current literacy debate regarding the Palestinian Christ, which is must-reading to stay abreast of these complex issues.”

Announcing the Kingdom

Evangelism & Missions

“Announcing the Kingdom challenges biblical scholars to look outwardly and to think missionally and challenges missiologists to base theory and experience in exegesis and biblical theology. While one may not agree with every detail of this theological reconstruction, all will profit immensely from the careful attention given to the biblical text in understanding the central place that mission plays in God’s historical plan of establishing the Kingdom of God. This work will be used with great profit in biblical theology as well as missiology courses.”

Restoring the Kingdom

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Michael Salmeier in Restoring the Kingdom brilliantly merges literary characterization with theological analysis of the narrative of Acts to produce a profound spectacle of God as the sovereign King and merciful Savior, who is restoring his reinterpreted kingdom. Salmeier's scholarship is refreshingly impeccable and pastoral, providing a unique and indispensable perspective of God as the ordainer of times and seasons for the kingdom. This is groundbreaking work for the necessary unification of literary and theological studies in Acts.”

The Disciple-Making Church

Christian Living

“Bill Hull is one of the most influential thinkers today on discipleship for the church. His own extensive pastoral experience, combined with his long history as a consultant to many churches and denominations worldwide, not only gives him a theoretical foundation but also equips him to give very practical help for the church in this book.”

Transforming Discipleship

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Greg Ogden supplied us a comprehensive, biblical curriculum in Discipleship Essentials. In his most recent book, Transforming Discipleship, he reveals the foundation and vision. Based on a creative and stimulating triad model, Greg provides a vehicle that will guide the training of leaders who in turn will equip the church and individuals for a life of transformational discipleship. In a refreshingly biblical and realistic manner, Greg sculpts an essential model that goes beyond programs to the intentional development of relationships that are empowered by the Spirit to grow together to become like Jesus.”
