Ancient Israel and Judah
Step into the world of the Hebrew Bible and discover how the contexts of the people who lived in it illuminate and deepen our understanding of the Scriptures. In Ancient Israel and Judah, Beth Tanner takes readers on a compelling journey through the historical and cultural landscapes of ancient Israel and Judah, bringing the Hebrew Bible to life in an approachable manner yet to be achieved. An essential guide for anyone new to biblical study, this book bridges the divide between traditional religious interpretations and academic study, empowering readers to grasp the Bible's theological themes in their full historical richness. From the origins of the Genesis narratives to the dramatic period of the Maccabees, Tanner skillfully distills centuries of history and complex concepts into an accessible and engaging narrative with relatable insights, offering clarity and context without overwhelming detail. Through an introduction to historical criticism and literary paradigms, readers learn to navigate the Bible's poetic verses, sagas, and narratives with fresh eyes. Addressing modern misconceptions about biblical history, Tanner reveals how understanding the ancient world enhances both critical and faith-based readings of Scripture. With newfound insight, readers of this book will: - learn why history and context are essential to any interpretation; how historical events are part of the Bible but why history is not its primary purpose, thus alleviating perceived conflicts within the text; - develop an understanding of the story of the Israelites within the history of the ancient world as well as the other groups the people of the Bible encountered; - read the biblical texts with knowledge about the life and worship practices of the people for whom the biblical texts were intended. Moreover, the book's unique inclusion of the often-overlooked late historical period (1000-33 BCE) sets the stage for the New Testament, offering vital context for students of all levels. Complete with charts, maps, and a glossary, Ancient Israel and Judah is more than a history book--it's a road map to deeper biblical understanding.
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)

In the Meantime
There is an urgent need to recover an appreciation of the ascension--as a theological vision for the triumph of God in Christ and as an orientation for worship, prayer, and the mission of the church. What does the ascension mean? What difference does it make? And how does the church live in dynamic union with the Ascended Lord and Christ.

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.
Reading Christian Apocrypha
Christian apocrypha has suffered neglect. Living just outside the Christian canon, apocryphal Christian works have been judged deficient, secret, and even heretical. In Reading Christian Apocrypha, Tobias Nicklas and Janet Spittler lavish attention upon these extracanonical texts to demonstrate that, far from being superfluous or fringe, Christian apocrypha plays a crucial role in the history of Christianity. Apocryphal works function as important witnesses for the reception of Jesus, Paul, and other apostolic figures. Beyond the reception of canonical figures, however, they provide foundational stories that fill in the Christian landscape of memories, supplying local and regional Christian communities with narratives that tie their own environment, traditions, and practices to the activities of the apostles and apostolic figures. Reading Christian Apocrypha also explores how apocryphal works adopt and adapt Jewish and Greco-Roman views on the origin of the world, its history, and the world to come, creating new ""spaces of interpretation"" around biblical texts and traditions. The apocryphal writings reveal that Christianity, from the very beginning, developed a wide variety of theological perspectives within diverse linguistic traditions and geographical areas. Ultimately, Reading Christian Apocrypha demonstrates that the distinction between ""canonical"" and ""apocryphal"" tradition is far blurrier than often assumed.

Forever Welcomed
A powerful antidote to a plague that divides.Our world loves power and status . . . wealth and beauty . . . the influencers.

His love is impartial.Forever Welcomed, a six-week Bible study, traces the rich tapestry of God's impartial love throughout the Bible--a love grounded in His character, not our abilities or status. From the Garden of Eden to the Garden of Eternity, the pages of the Bible trace an unwavering truth--God's love is offered freely to all who would receive it. His boundless mercy is a radiant contrast to a world darkened by social, economic, cultural, racial, and political partiality.Intent on helping readers remove the shame and fear often associated with partiality, esteemed Bible teacher Oghosa Iyamu equips us with a trustworthy, thought-provoking, biblically based resource. More than just a study, this is an invitation to live with impartial love--to embrace and reflect God's vision and heart for life in His eternal kingdom, where all who come are forever welcomed.
Is it just?
The book of Jeremiah is a sobering read. As a prophet, he was tasked with calling the people of Israel to repent. To turn from their wicked ways of worshipping false gods and entertaining fruitless prophecies. Abandon their cruel ways of treating the most vulnerable among them with injustice and scorn. He points out that their self-sufficient lives were a form of disobedience and calls them to a life of radical repentance. These woes are not reserved only for the Israelites of old. Anyone who claims to be a follower of God needs to take an inventory of the themes littered throughout the book and evaluate if God is asking them to repent of the same offenses. About the Author: Being enamored by the Lord and His word from a young age, Trevor found he loves studying theology and then sharing what he finds. After graduating from Bible college, he held multiple positions in schools and churches, teaching God's Word.

Developing A Disciple
Going through the discipleship process can be tough. Life's challenges, hardships, struggles, and daily distractions can become discouraging. Developing a Disciple: Book 2-a refreshing look at how to stay encouraged and remain engaged in the discipleship process-helps to keep the eyes of the heart focused on Jesus Christ. With personal examples of the author's testimony throughout his life, it is not difficult to see how Jesus redeems and reconciles every heart that would come near to His redemptive work. The study that goes along with each story and chapter will allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate Scripture deep in the heart.
A Post Tribulation Manifesto
A *spell* has been cast over the church making the emperor's new clothes seem to exist. At the same time Jesus' plain teachings about His coming and Paul's usage of those Scriptures have vanished from our Bibles. Because of this the saints are now vulnerable and spiritually unprepared to enter the time of the Tribulation. The startling conclusion of the book is that there are absolutely no verses of Scripture that declare a pre-tribulation rapture or even a mid-tribulation rapture. The church must prepare itself for a post-tribulation rapture. This book breaks the *spell*.
