A Fellowship of Differents

Christian Living

“Ever wonder what Paul would say to the Church today? This is it. Scot McKnight has captured the mind and heart of our beloved apostle, who spent his whole life pursuing one dream, preaching one gospel, sacrificing everything for one beautiful vision: that all people would believe in the Lord because the church — this strange collection of humanity united by the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit for one purpose — is the very body of Christ.”

Congregational Song in the Worship of the Church

Preaching & Worship

“From the beginning, our human impulse has been to worship God through music. Bill Hooper’s thorough survey of worship practices—from ancient times to current trends—helps us make sense of why we do what we do. Chock full of vital information, Congregational Song in the Worship of the Church will prove to be a helpful resource for many years to come.”

Does It Matter Who Wrote the Bible?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The gap between scholarly interests and the needs of the church are no more evident than the question of biblical authorship. When it comes to preaching God’s word, does it matter whether John the apostle is the author of the Fourth Gospel? Should church members care whether the so-called pastoral epistles are authentic letters of Paul? Since biblical interpreters tend to rely upon a canon within a canon, should critical scholarship determine which parts of Scripture ought to carry more weight for matters of faith and practice? Gathering a team of experts who offer their academic work in service of the church, David Capes hopes to bridge the gap by exploring the historical, social, theological, canonical, hermeneutical, and spiritual implications of anonymity, pseudonymity, and scriptural authority. A hefty volume of engaging reflections and sound advice, scholars and pastors need to read this book.”

Misreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Like seasoned travelers to a foreign land, Randy and Rich help us understand the culture of the biblical world as they take us on a trip through the Scriptures. Since we are Westerners born and bred in a world that celebrates our individualism, it doesn't take long for us to realize that the people of the Bible don't think like us, act like us, share our social convictions, or claim the same worldview. That's when our expert tour guides step up to answer the question, 'Why do they do that?,' keeping us from misreading Scripture with individualist eyes.”

The Lamb Christology of the Apocalypse of John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Most scholars tend to rely on the gospels and the letters of Paul to inform their Christology--with only a sideways glance to the Revelation of John. The apocalyptic Christ is seen, therefore, as an oddity, an ancillary view that must be domesticated to the controlling messianic images of the rest of the New Testament. Johns places the Lamb Christology of the Apocalypse of John in the center of our theological focus, because the one who is worthy of worship is worthy of imitation. This book is brilliant, engaging, honest, and well-written.”

The Voices of the New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Are you tired of seeing your students' eyes glaze over when you teach theological method? Do you long for a creative resource that helps your students discern the difference between systematic theology and the theological content of the New Testament? Would you appreciate a fresh approach to introducing biblical theology that takes seriously the different voices within Scripture while at the same time values coherence? Get this book. Derek Tidball has done a great service to the academy and the church by organizing an imaginative conversation between the heroes of our faith, helping us celebrate the theological diversity and unity of the New Testament. A joy to read.”

Traumatized Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Paul failed to measure up to the expectations of his converts in Corinth. That put the apostle in a tough spot, having to defend himself to the very people who benefited from his ministry—a challenge many ministers know all too well. We may identify with Paul’s plight. But according to McKnight and Gibson, we should also find great wisdom in how he responded to his naysayers. Whether we’re professional ministers or amateurs like Paul, Traumatized Church is a timely word that helps us face and overcome a timeless problem: healing for Christians wounded by Christians.”
