How God Treats His Friends
Is there fairness and justice in life? What are we to do or say when a genuinely good person is overwhelmed by appalling disasters?Such a character was Job - a man who was wise, compassionate and historic, yet who suffered desperate tragedy. In this explanation of suffering Robert Fyall points out that the story of Job is about real human experience - someone 'sitting on an ash heap in harsh and bitter agony and loneliness.'Why did God permit such a fate?In answering this question the author brings help to all who wonder at the fairness and justice of God. He also shows how the life of Job gives real hope to all of us - demonstrating as it does the goodness of God and his power over the forces of darkness.---'This lively thought-provoking book was a great help to me when I first grew interested in the riches of the book of Job. It is rooted in solid scholarship but written in an accessible style. I am so glad it is being republished.'Christopher AshWriter in Residence, Tyndale House, Cambridge; author of Job: The Wisdom of the Cross (Crossway, 2014) and Out of the Storm: Grappling with God in the book of Job (IVP, 2004).'Careful biblical interpretation at its best: wisdom, insight, pathos, challenge and encouragement - and all from one priceless book of the Bible persuasively interpreted from beginning to end. Add to this pearls of wisdom (dropped it seems, almost in passing) which helps us to study the Bible better for ourselves, as well as insights which will help us to live the Christian life more consistently - and here you have a book of great value. How God Treats His Friends is a must-buy.'Sinclair B. FergusonChancellor's Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, USA and Preaching Associate, Trinity Church, Aberdeen, UK.'Bob's writing on Job is both theologically profound and insightfully connected with Christian experience. In difficult personal circumstances, I found his treatment of creatureliness and evil little short of life-saving.

The Genuine Jesus and the Counterfeit Christs
Christianity Today Book Awards Biblical Studies Award of Merit (2025)What are the key differences between the canonical Gospels and the apocryphal gospels?In this concise and engaging book, New Testament scholar Simon Gathercole shows that crucial theological features link Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John together--and also set them apart from other ancient accounts of Christ's life. Writing in a clear and highly accessible style, Gathercole analyzes the New Testament Gospels alongside some of the earliest and most controversial apocryphal gospels. He shows that the canonical Gospels share key elements of theological content--content that consistently aligns with what the apostles taught about Jesus. Specifically, what distinguishes Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is that they faithfully represent Jesus's messiahship, his saving death and resurrection, and his fulfilment of Scripture. This stands in sharp contrast to the apocryphal Gospels, which either represent such teaching incompletely, ignore it, or actively reject it. In short, what separates the canonical Gospels from their noncanonical counterparts covered in this book is that the former are faithful portraits of Christ the savior; the latter are less-than-authentic representations. The Genuine Jesus and the Counterfeit Christs will appeal to everyday readers who want to know more about apocryphal gospels, and to students in biblical studies who are interested in questions of authority and canonicity.
The Marriage of Jesus
Maggy Whitehouse puts forward a ground-breaking new theory; that just like any other Jew of the time, Jesus married at the age of 14. The missing years in the Bible are those he spent as a husband, raising his family. Given that the average life-span of a woman 2000 years ago was 27 years and two out of three women died in childbirth, Jesus was probably a widower when he began teaching. So what happened to Jesus' wife, this most forgotten of women? To find out, Maggy Whitehouse examines the legends, social and economic laws of the time on marriage and the legends of Jesus' celibacy and his marriage to Mary Magdalene.
Holiness in the Old Testament
"You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy." Leviticus 19:2 The holiness of God and Israel's call to be holy are arguably at the center of the theological vision of the Old Testament. Thus, a careful and thorough analysis and evaluation of the theme of holiness is critical for understanding both God and this call. In Holiness in the Old Testament, thirteen respected Old Testament scholars come together to provide a cohesive view of Scripture's testimony to the nature of holiness. They explore the historical and cultural context of the Hebrew terms related to holiness and aptly argue that any definition relating to God must include his incommunicable and communicable attributes--those qualities that belong to him alone, such as his eternality and transcendence, and those qualities that he expects his people to emulate, such as his steadfast love and ethical purity. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate that human holiness must be understood "not just as a response to God's holiness but as the restoration of the image of God in humanity--a key notion for the fulfillment of God's plans and purposes for the creation as a whole." By surveying holiness in each major section of the Old Testament and how it relates to other critical Old Testament theological themes, the authors provide a comprehensive biblical and theological study of Holiness in the Old Testament. The careful student will walk away with a deeper understanding of their holy God and their holy call.

Eyes Fixed on Jesus, Volume 1
Whether or not we realize it, many of us who attempt to follow Jesus perceive him as distant and uninterested. We tune out the Gospel stories we've heard so many times because we think we know them already and understand the message they teach: God is friendly, and he likes us okay. We may confess our belief in God the Son, but we've taken our eyes off Jesus.Meg Hunter-Kilmer helps you see Jesus anew by taking you through his life as told in the gospels, breaking open the familiar and shedding light on the foreign so that you can see the face of Jesus in the pages of Scripture and learn to love him more in his word.

Finding Love in First Corinthians Thirteen
We can only be better when we choose love over hate, mercy over judgment, kindness over meanness, hope over despair, and living the best life that God the Father has given to us in the Son. Love is the route to do this and let us strive to be filled with the abundance of this virtue through the help of the mighty Spirit of God. Beloved, God's unconditional love is the gift of a lifetime.

As loaded as it is, the choice of love as a subject for this book makes it a must-read for everyone. The author systematically expounds upon the need to go beyond regarding love as a theoretical concept. She emphasizes the imperative for us to listen to our Lord's commandment. We must see love as an action word worthy of practice amongst ourselves in our daily lives in our homes, churches, workplaces, schools, market places, etc.- Pastor TochiWhen we listen to the Lord's injunction, we are in obedience. When we listen not, we are in disobedience. The author dutifully points out God's immutable style of rewarding compliance and the inescapable consequences of disobedience. The word of God in Isaiah 1:19-20 anchors her point. "If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land, but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."In agreement with the author, love, among many other factors, is the uniqueness of our oneness as God's creation.- Hans C.I loved the flow of this book, and you can sense that this book is Spirit-filled from the beginning to the end. The anointing is so powerful, and it is evident that the author is gifted. We need more Spirit-filled books and authors like this woman to give us God's perspective and not man's.- Regina CLet me start by saying that this is one of the best Christian books that I have read in a long time. I had to read it repeatedly to allow each verse to absorb in my spirit. God's love is assuring, and it is demonstrated in this book. There is no doubt that God is still speaking to us through His servants today.- Kaleb WMore grace to this author and I am definitely a fan now because I can't wait to read more books written by her.- John EAbout the Author: In April 2007, Helen Clement answered God's call to the office of the prophet soon after giving her life to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans
Romans: Dispensationally Considered uses a simple approach to teach anyone interested in understanding the Bible how to learn, understand, and enjoy the Bible on their own!This book is a verse-by-verse expositional commentary on the Book of Romans. It acknowledges Scripture as being the inspired, complete, and authoritative Word of God. Romans is the foundational book on Pauline doctrine and leads into the remainder of Paul's writings.After Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, God told Ananias, "Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel" (Acts 9:15). Paul's message to the Gentiles was both separate and unique from the message preached by the Twelve. An agreement was made between the Twelve and Paul that their distinct gospels would be carried to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and the Gentiles respectively. About their meeting in Jerusalem, Paul wrote, "When they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me towards the Gentiles: ) . . . that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision" (Gal. 2:7-9).Of all of Paul's writings, the book of Romans is definitive. It first establishes a legal argument justifying God's wrath. Then, Paul reveals God's plan for the redemption of those who choose to believe in the finished work of His Son on the Cross. All of Paul's subsequent epistles are built upon the Gospel of the Grace of God. This unique gospel, destined for the Gentiles, was revealed to Paul by the Resurrected Lord Himself. It is for that reason that Paul continually referred to as "my gospel" (Rom. 2:16, 16:25; 2 Tim. 2:8)

Why Poetry in the Bible Matters
In "Why Poetry in the Bible Matters," Robert Alter masterfully explores the profound significance of poetry within biblical texts, elucidating how its distinctive forms and techniques serve as powerful vehicles for theological expression and philosophical reflection. Through compelling analysis and vibrant examples, Alter reveals how biblical prophetic poetry, such as the imagery-laden works of Isaiah, or the profound, often challenging verses of Job, functions not merely as artistic expression but as a means of deeply engaging with the divine, the ethical, and the human experience. He argues that the structured parallelism and evocative language found in these texts are not just literary devices, but mnemonic and persuasive tools that have helped scripture resonate across millennia.Alter goes beyond mere literary critique, delving into the historical and cultural contexts of these ancient writings to enrich our understanding of their lasting impact. He highlights how biblical poets like Isaiah and the author of Job utilized their profound grasp of poetic form to address the existential questions of their times, drawing readers into a reflective journey on the nature of faith, suffering, and redemption. "Why Poetry in the Bible Matters" is an essential read for anyone looking to appreciate the depth and complexity of biblical literature, providing a comprehensive guide to the ways in which poetry can animate and elevate religious discourse.

No Worries
No Worries: Learning to Trust Our Sovereign God Are you a worrier? Are you preoccupied with the "What ifs" and worst-case scenarios? Unrelenting doubts and fears can be paralyzing! Worry can interfere with your daily life and ruin your relationships. We may dignify worry by calling it by some other name-concern, burden, a cross to bear - but Jesus calls it sinful. God feeds the birds and clothes the lilies and He will clothe and feed us. However it is our "little faith" that hinders Him from working in our lives. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells His followers - then and now - "do not be worried." That seems impossible considering He also says, "in this world you WILL have trouble..." but there has to be a way to do what He says in spite of the realities of life. There is! The fact that Jesus Himself commanded it means it is possible. If you struggle with worries and wish you didn't, join Jan and Pam - two recovering worriers - for "No Worries: Learning to Trust our Sovereign God"! This 8-week study will lead you through Scripture and help you learn how to walk in God's truth and to trust Him, eliminating your need to worry! He has great blessings for us if only we will trust Him.

The Fourth Synoptic Gospel
A bold reassessment of John's Gospel and its relationship to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke Generations ago in biblical studies, it was taken for granted that John wrote with full knowledge of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. But this consensus was overturned in the 1930s and since then, there has been no agreement on the issue. Today many scholars view the problem as unsolvable or impossibly complex. Mark Goodacre, however, takes a different view. In his galvanizing new book, Goodacre synthesizes long-neglected data with newer perspectives to make a strong case for John's familiarity with all three Synoptic Gospels. Writing in a clear and accessible style, Goodacre takes a systematic, step by step approach to showing that John knew and used the narratives of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Goodacre identifies key points of agreement that range from diagnostic shards to shared structures. He also analyzes key differences; in his telling, John dramatically transforms the Synoptics and develops their Christology while adding a beloved disciple of Jesus, who is himself a Synoptic character. To make his argument accessible to a broad audience, Goodacre minimizes the use of scholarly citations and translates all Greek words. Just as importantly, he illustrates his claims with clear, simple charts so that readers can see for themselves the evidence that John knew and used the Synoptics. The Fourth Synoptic Gospel is sure to spark lively discussions among biblical scholars. Given that John's relationship to the Synoptics is a fundamental issue in New Testament studies, Goodacre's book is also a must read for students and professors alike.

Early Judaism and the New Testament
The relationship between Early Judaism and the New Testament is a major issue in biblical studies, one that has impacted Jewish-Christian relations for centuries. This impact has often been negative due to troubling misconceptions of both the New Testament and Jewish writings contemporaneous with it. Misunderstandings have arisen from inaccurate information, religious traditions, and anti-Semitism.Warren Carter and Ariel Feldman address and correct these misconceptions by engaging with the New Testament and major writings from Early Judaism, including the Apocrypha, Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Philo and Josephus. The authors emphasize various interactions among these traditions for the purpose of better interpreting the New Testament and, importantly, avoiding anti-Jewish bias.This is an ideal supplemental textbook for students of the New Testament as well as interested clergy and laity. The text is straightforward and readable, and unlike other books on the topic, it does not assume prior knowledge of Early Judaism or of New Testament engagement with it. Each chapter recognizes troubling misunderstandings that people often have about the interactions between Early Judaism and the New Testament and includes discussion prompts.

Taking Religion Seriously
"The book is a highly personal and readable account of a profound change in the author's outlook: one that grew gradually over the course of decades but has lately blossomed..."-The Wall Street Journal"Millions are like me when it comes to religion: well-educated and successful people for whom religion has been irrelevant," Charles Murray writes. "For them, I think I have a story worth telling." Taking Religion Seriously is Murray's autobiographical account of the decades-long evolution in his stance toward the idea of God in general and Christianity in particular. He argues that religion is something that can be approached as an intellectual exercise. His account moves from the improbable physics of the Big Bang to recent discoveries about the nature of consciousness, from evolutionary psychology to hypotheses about a universal Moral Law. His exploration of Christianity delves into the authorship of the Gospels, the reliability of biblical texts, and the scholarship surrounding the resurrection story. Murray, the author of Coming Apart and coauthor of The Bell Curve, does not write as an expert. He acknowledges that those taking religion seriously for the first time, like himself, must grapple with topics and ideas that defy intellectual mastery. In this book, Murray offers his personal example of intellectual struggle toward religion. "Maybe God needs a way to reach overeducated agnostics and that's what I stumbled into," he writes. "It's a more arid process than divine revelation but it has been rewarding. And, if you're like me, it's the only game in town."
