Bible Translating as a Loyal Activity

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a profound book, a must read for anyone who is interested in Bible translation, whether that interest be directing them to translate or to support translation projects. Sadly, many translation projects are earnestly designed, engaged in, and supported without sufficient background knowledge. The tragic result is that all too many translations end up either sitting on shelves or are ignored, simply because they are not understandable or are alien sounding. Dr. Houston unpacks for the uninitiated how translations can avoid this tragic demise and actively demonstrate loyalty and faithfulness to the Lord, to the Scripture, and to the target audience, whom the Lord dearly loves and for whom he died.”

Insider Jesus

Evangelism & Missions

“This book is groundbreaking. Conversations have been taking place questioning the ongoing value of the contextualization movement. This is because among evangelicals contextualization has largely been a project conducted by outsiders assisting those who are insiders. This was an essential step in missions, yet the limitations of the movement are obvious. What is exciting is that in our postcolonial era new theological discourses and practices are emerging from within believing communities that seek to be faithful to Scripture and address more specifically and resonate more deeply with the worlds of these communities. Dyrness lucidly and sensitively introduces the reader to these developments and provides the reader with the theological and conceptual categories to understand and appreciate them.”

Living as the Living Jesus

Christian Living

“Ken Wozniak’s Living as the Living Jesus motivates one to rethink who Jesus is and explore the implications of this. This book does not give the answers to perplexing ethical questions; rather, it mines the Scripture and proffers a way of thinking about Jesus and life’s issues, while in complete dependence on the Lord, that helps one on their journey toward Christlikeness. I wish I had this book years ago.”

Rediscovering Faithfulness

“Throughout history, philosophers asked what constitutes a good person. From Aristotle to Kierkegaard, Kenneth Wozniak introduces their thoughts, comparing them with Scripture. Wozniak insightfully shows that faith in Christ leads us to faithfulness to Christ, that is, adopting his ethics and reflecting his character in our lives. Within these pages is a feast for the mind and heart, inspiring us to rise to the calling and privilege of being conformed to the image of Christ.”
