Paid in Full, a riveting account of Jesus' final hours, takes you
on a journey that does just that. It powerfully explains the
significance--for every person ever born--of each step Jesus
willingly took along the way of His suffering, His death, and His
resurrection. Noted Bible teacher Rick Renner draws a brilliant
backdrop to the passion of Jesus Christ, interjecting fresh
insights into the human and divine drama that took place in
Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago.
The writers of the Bible speak to us with their words, and the Bible's characters speak to us with their lives. Their powerful examples reveal the spiritual inspiration and brilliant insight the human writers and the divine Writer intended. Times, cultures, traditions, and societal values may change from century to century, but human nature does not.
We value people whose words and actions reflect their true thoughts and intentions. People of integrity purposely integrate their own thoughts, words, and behaviors. They work at making their own hearts and minds, thoughts and ideas consistent with the godly character portrayed in Scripture.
These twenty-five Bible personalities in Choose Your Character cultivate a desire to deepen the commitment to live a life of unfailing integrity. Their examples teach us how to increase our personal satisfaction and effectiveness while strengthening our ability to influence others.

Barth stands before us as the greatest theologian of the twentieth
century, yet the massive corpus of work which he left behind, the
multi volume Church Dogmatics, can seem daunting and formidable to
readers today. Fortunately his Dogmatics in Outline first published
in English in 1949, contains in brilliantly concentrated form even
in shorthand, the essential tenets of his thinking. Built around
the assertions made in the Apostles Creed the book consists of a
series of reflections on the foundation stones of Christian
doctrine. Because Dogmatics in Outline derives from very particular
circumstances namely the lectures Barth gave in war-shattered
Germany in 1946, it has an urgency and a compassion which lend the
text a powerful simplicity. Despite its brevity the book makes a
tremendous impact, which in this new edition will now be felt by a
fresh generation of readers.
Now a major Disney+ original series
'C. J. Sansom’s books are arguably the best Tudor novels going' – The
Sunday Times
Dissolution is the first novel in C. J. Sansom’s phenomenal bestselling
Shardlake series, perfect for fans of Hilary Mantel and Phillipa
Gregory. After one of Cromwell's commissioners is brutally murdered,
Matthew Shardlake is drawn into an investigation that becomes darker
than he could have ever imagined . . .
England, 1537. It is a time of revolution that sees the greatest
changes in England since 1066. Henry VIII has proclaimed himself
Supreme Head of the Church. The country is waking up to savage new
laws, rigged trials and the greatest network of informers it has ever
seen. And under the orders of Thomas Cromwell, a team of commissioners
is sent throughout the country to investigate the monasteries. There
can only be one outcome: dissolution.
But on the Sussex coast, at the monastery of Scarnsea, events have
spiralled out of control. Cromwell's commissioner, Robin Singleton, has
been found dead, his head severed from his body. His horrific murder
accompanied by equally sinister acts of sacrilege.
Matthew Shardlake, lawyer and long-time supporter of Reform, has been
sent by Cromwell to uncover the truth behind the dark happenings at
Scarnsea. But Shardlake's investigation soon forces him to question
everything that he hears, and everything that he intrinsically believes
. . .
Follow Shardlake into the dark heart of Tudor England with the next
book in the series, Dark Fire.

""'A painstakingly researched, meticulously documented, cogently
reasoned and eminently readable book. It represents an important
step forward in New Testament study which henceforward scholars,
even if they do not agree with it will not be able to ignore.'
Times Literary Supplement 'For those who are concerned to penetrate
to the historical realities within the gospel records this is an
extremely important book.' Expository Times 'Can only be described
as epoch-making.' Jewish Chronicle"" In this, Geza Vermes' best
known book, there emerges perhaps the closest portrayal that we
have of a genuinely historical Jesus. Freed from the weight and
onus of Christian doctrine or Jewish animus, Jesus here appears as
a vividly human, yet profoundly misunderstood, figure, thoroughly
grounded and contextualised within the extraordinary intellectual
and cultural cross currents of his day. Jesus the Jew is a
remarkable portrait by a brilliant scholar writing at the height of
his powers, informed by insights from the New Testament, Jewish
literature, and the Dead Sea Scrolls alike.
One of Aquinas's best known works after the Summa Theologica, Summa
Contra Gentiles is a theological synthesis that explains and
defends the existence and nature of God without invoking the
authority of the Bible. A detailed expository account of and
commentary on this famous work, Davies's book aims to help readers
think about the value of the Summa Contra Gentiles (SCG) for
themselves, relating the contents and teachings found in the SCG to
those of other works and other thinkers both theological and
philosophical. Following a scholarly account of Aquinas's life and
his likely intentions in writing the SCG, the volume works
systematically through all four books of the text. It is,
therefore, a solid and reflective introduction both to the SCG and
to Aquinas more generally. The book is aimed at students of
medieval philosophy and theology, and of Aquinas in particular. It
will interest teachers of medieval philosophy and theology, though
it does not presuppose previous knowledge of Aquinas or of his
works. Davies's book is the longest and most detailed account and
discussion of the SCG available in English in one volume.
