400th Anniversary Edition
For 400 years, the Authorized Version of the Bible--popularly
known as the King James Version--has been beloved for its majestic
phrasing and stately cadences. No other book has so profoundly
influenced our language and our theology. Over time, however, the
text has suffered subtle and occasionally troublesome alterations.
This edition preserves the original 1611 printing. Word for word
and page for page, the text with its original marginal notes,
preface, and other introductory material appears as it first did.
The sole concession to modernity is a far more readable roman
typeface set by nineteenth-century master printers.
"A valuable and essential addition to every Bible
library."
--John R. Kohlenberger III

The Greek New Testament holds a special place in Christian thinking
as the mouthpiece for God's revelation of the Gospel and of Jesus
Christ. While there are a few trusted Greek texts currently in
print, significant advances have been made in Greek translation
studies of the New Testament since a standard text was last adopted
in 1975. In this edition, an editorial team of biblical scholars
connected to Tyndale House, Cambridge, have taken a rigorously
philological approach to reviewing the standard text, looking
afresh at spelling and paragraphing, and integrating recent
findings about scribal practices and other advances in New
Testament Greek. The result is a ground-breaking contribution to
biblical scholarship. This edition is beautifully produced, fully
sewn and bound with a grey imitation leather cover. It is intended
for use by students, scholars and clergy.

Reading Green: Tactical Considerations for Reading the Bible
Ecologically operates on the premise that the Bible itself does not
directly address the current ecological crisis and that expecting
it to do so is anachronistic, for there was no ecological crisis on
the agendas of biblical authors as they penned their works. The
true challenge in the field is engaging biblical texts that do not
present a positive ecological message (e.g., the stories of the
flood and the plagues), or that seem to focus their messages so
narrowly on human subjects and their interests that they
marginalize or ignore the concerns of the other-than-human
creation. To address this issue, this book provides a series of
reading strategies which begin with the current ecological crisis.
Present areas of interest, such as environmental racism and
justice, film criticism, and reception history and exegesis, are
employed to construct various approaches to mine the Bible for its
contribution in addressing the current ecological crisis.

"The Jesus Dynasty" offers a startling new interpretation of the
life of Jesus and the origins of Christianity that is grounded in
careful analysis of the earliest Christian documents and recent
archaeological discoveries, including the much-discussed "Jesus
family tomb."
In "The Jesus Dynasty," biblical scholar James Tabor brings us
closer than ever to the historical Jesus. He explains the crucial
relationship between Jesus, a royal descendant of David, and his
relative John the Baptizer, a priestly descendant of Aaron and
Jesus' teacher. When John was killed, several of his followers --
including Jesus' four brothers -- joined with Jesus, who continued
John's mission, preaching the same apocalyptic message. After Jesus
confronted the Roman authorities in Jerusalem and was crucified,
his brother James succeeded him as the leader of the Jesus dynasty.
James Tabor has studied the earliest surviving documents of
Christianity for more than thirty years and has participated in
important archaeological excavations in Israel. His reconstruction
of the life of Jesus and his followers, and of the early years of
Christianity, will change our understanding of one of the most
crucial moments in history.
