Combining three volumes into one, Knowing God Through the Old Testament
brings together three of Christopher J. H. Wright's best loved books:
Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Knowing Jesus Through
the Old Testament, and Knowing the Holy Spirit Through the Old
Testament.
Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament explores images that
pervade the biblical narratives, psalms, and prophetic texts of the Old
Testament. God is acknowledged as tender yet terrifying, challenging to
the nations, and yet intimately personal, offering loving care,
provision, discipline, and forgiveness. This is the God whom Jesus
knew, and whom we can know, as Father.
Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament uncovers Jesus'
self-understanding as Son of Man and Son of God from his deep roots in
the Hebrew Scriptures. As the Jesus who fulfilled the mission that God
had given to Israel is revealed, we discover that the more we
understand the Old Testament, the closer we come to the heart of Jesus.
Knowing the Holy Spirit Through the Old Testament traces the Holy
Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament. We see the Third Person
of the Trinity in the decrees of prophets and psalmists, in the actions
of judges and craftspeople, in the anointing of kings, and the promise
of a new creation. The witness of the whole of Scripture directs us to
a Holy Spirit empowering the people of God, and sustaining and renewing
the face of the earth.
This three-volume work will strengthen and deepen readers' personal
relationships with the triune God by enabling them to know him through
deep immersion and engagement with his Word, especially in the less
familiar voices of the Old Testament. This is a voyage of biblical
discovery, crossing many horizons and exploring especially the sources
of our knowledge of God the Holy Trinity—Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

REMOVING the covers from Satan and exposing how he has deceived
mankind is never welcomed by any but the rare few individuals [a]
truly living holy (i.e., genuine Christians) and [b] thoroughly
read in GOD4S Word. Satan seeks to operate in secret where he can
wreck havoc mentally, physically, and spiritually. Addressing [i]
the wickedness of fornication (sex outside of marriage), [ii] the
"I am a Christian" falsehood, [iii] the weak church member, [iv]
the world4s resistance to holiness, [v] the intentionally blind,
etc. boldly forces people to see themselves for themselves. This is
always difficult, and most will reject it with every fiber of their
being. For the few who embrace GOD4S Word as revealed herein,
salvation and elevation await them.
This book explores the various transformations of biblical proper
names. The basic phonetic relationship between Semitic languages on
the one hand and non-Semitic languages, like Greek and Latin, on
the other hand, is so complex that it was hardly possible to
establish a unified tradition in writing biblical proper names
within the Greek and Latin cultures. In the transmission we
encounter various transformations of biblical proper names. The
basic phonetic relationship between Semitic languages on the one
hand and non-Semitic languages, like Greek and Latin, on the other
hand, is so complex that it was hardly possible to establish a
unified tradition in writing biblical proper names within the Greek
and Latin cultures. Since the Greek and Latin alphabets are
inadequate for transliteration of Semitic languages, authors of
"Greek and Latin Bibles" were utter grammatical and cultural
innovators. In "Greek and Latin Bibles" we note an almost
embarrassing number of phonetic variants of proper names. A survey
of ancient "Greek and Latin Bible" translations allows one to trace
the boundary between the phonetic transliterations that are
justified within Semitic, Greek, and Latin linguistic rules, and
those forms that transgress linguistic rules. The forms of biblical
proper names are much more stable and consistent in the Hebrew
Bible than in Greek, Latin and other ancient Bible translations.
The inexhaustible wealth of variant pronunciations of the same
proper names in Greek and Latin translations indicate that Greek
and Latin translators and copyists were in general not fluent in
Hebrew and did therefore not have sufficient support in a living
Hebrew phonetic context. This state affects personal names of rare
use to a far greater extent than the geographical names, whose
forms are expressed in the oral tradition by a larger circle of the
population. Over the last 30 years this pioneering series has
established an unrivaled reputation for cutting-edge international
scholarship in Biblical Studies and has attracted leading authors
and editors in the field. The series takes many original and
creative approaches to its subjects, including innovative work from
historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and
literary theory, and more recent developments in cultural studies
and reception history.
The Cambridge NRSV Reference Edition has established itself as an

and line spacing. There are section headings and translators'
footnotes throughout.
The Cambridge Family Chronicle Bible has been designed and produced
as a Bible to enjoy for generations. It combines the best
typographic design with the highest standards of printing and
bookbinding. The majestic text of the King James Bible is presented
in a typesetting inspired by the legendary Baskerville Bible, and
the words of Scripture are brought to life with 221 engravings by
19th century illustrator Gustave Dore - painstakingly reproduced
for this edition from the original printings. Drawing on the
glories of the past, but looking to the future too, the Bible
incorporates a unique 14-page family chronicle, allowing owners to
record up to six generations of family history and tell their
family story for years to come. The Bible is printed on paper
selected for its strength and durability and features endpapers
mapping the Biblical world. The binding pays tribute to traditional
bookbinding style, with gold blocking on the cover, and raised
spine hubs. It has two deep red ribbons and gilt edges and comes
presented in a lid and tray box decorated with one of Dore's
impressive illustrations.

I Am the Resurrection and the Life shares the truth that every
person who has ever lived or will ever live on this Earth falls
under. All of humanity falls into one of these two classes:
believer or non-believer. Jesus Christ made it clear and precise
that when the people of this Earth accept the message of the Gospel
and receive the Him as Lord and Savior, they then pass from death
into life. This book explains how a non-believer can receive life
from the Lord Jesus Christ, just as the Father is the source of
life and the giver of life, the Son also is able to give life to
others. This is a distinct statement as to the deity of Jesus
Christ and as to His equality with the Father. God the Father has
given Jesus the authority to be the judge of all humanity in the
world. Shedding light on the Gospel, Grace D. Balogun, explains to
believers the power that is available to them as co-heirs with
Christ. Come and learn that you are seated in Heavenly places with
Christ and come to understand the power and glory of God as your
life is conformed to the image of Christ through His resurrection.
Filled with rich scripture and written from a sound biblical
perspective, this book encourages maturity in the Lord to follow
Him in all things. This is a must read for the believer and the
non-believer alike. Today is the day of salvation; take hold of the
Gospel of truth and pass from death to life in Jesus Christ.
