A Week in the Life of a Greco-Roman Woman

Fiction

“A Week in the Life of a Greco-Roman Woman is a fantastic way to engage any student of the Bible with the real people, real places, and real challenges of the first-century church. Beers animates the story of Paul's impact at Ephesus by telling the tale through the eyes of young Anthia—a commoner's wife pregnant with her second child. The reader is drawn into Anthia's story from the very first page, and then—almost without noticing—educated in the realia of life for a woman in the Greco-Roman world. Not only do we walk away with an all-too-rare woman's lens on the impact of the Gospel on her world, we are left with a deeply personal testimony of the confrontation of Artemis's city with the Way of Jesus.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“At last, the updated and abridged version of Bruce Waltke’s magisterial two-volume commentary is here. In this single volume the reader will find a learned and distinctly Christian treatment of the book of Proverbs. Technically exceptional while accessible to the non-expert, it will be an excellent resource for the classroom and for home study.”

History & Biography

“A nation which does not know what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. The same can be said of the church. In this powerful collection of essays and interviews by and with Christian leaders, fifty years of American evangelical thinking about the gospel and creation is laid out for our inspection. Here we are reintroduced to ourselves―yesterday and today. And in the midst we are challenged to think better about what it is we are trying to do―for ourselves, our planet, and our children. Perspective is a powerful thing. Read the book.”
