New volume in the TNTC revision and replacement programme
Writing in an accessible and anecdotal style, Tom Wright helps us
to approach the rich and many-sided story of the book of Acts.
Wright shows how the book builds on Luke's gospel, laying out the
continuing work and teaching of the now risen and ascended Jesus in
the power of the Spirit. His writing captures the vivid way in
which Luke's work draws us all into the story, while leaving the
ending open and challenging, inviting Christians today to pick up
and carry on the story as we in turn live our lives in the service
of Jesus. Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task to provide
guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to furnish them
with his own fresh translation of the entire text. Each short
passage is followed by a highly readable discussion, with
background information, useful interpretation and explanation, and
thoughts as to how it can be relevant to our lives today. No
knowledge of technical jargon is required. The series is suitable
for personal or group use. The format makes it appropriate also for
daily study.
A series of short, question-based study guides based around the New
Testament For Everyone series. The series is intended to encourage
church (and other) groups to study the Bible using the For Everyone
model. Experienced Bible study writers have selected excerpts and
written questions that guide users through the thought of Tom
Wright on each passage. These have been reviewed, edited and
approved by Tom Wright. Creation is in anguish. Paul's letter to
the Romans, as well as the merest glance at our world, shows this
clearly. The Church shares in the suffering, groaning in the
tension between the 'already' of possessing the fruit of the Spirit
and the 'not yet' of our present existence. Paul, however, also
makes it abundantly clear that God doesn't stand apart from the
pain. Rather, he entered it through Jesus and dwells in the middle
of it in the Spirit. These studies present the whole picture of a
suffering, sinful world and God's deep love, still working today to
reconcile that world to himself.
Most Christians are unaware of the doctrinal debates taking
place within the religious academic community. When they "are
"aware of these discussions, they may consider them irrelevant or
even harmful to Christian practice. Jaime Clark- Soles invites
seminarians, seminary faculty, and church leaders to find common
ground by considering the various debates, the reasons they
persist, the implications of each, and how they pertain to
Christian identity and faith within the larger contemporary
culture. Includes study questions.
The letter to the Philippians illuminates a warm relationship
between the apostle Paul and the Philippian believers. Despite
difficult situations being experienced on both sides, Paul finds
ample reason to celebrate what God in Christ has done and is doing
in the believers' lives. Jeannine K. Brown's commentary explores
the themes of this epistle, how its message is still relevant to
Christians in the twenty-first century. She shows how motifs of
joy, contentment and unity abound as Paul reminds the Philippians
of the supreme value of knowing Jesus the Messiah, and highlights
their significance for shaping the contemporary church towards
living more deeply its identity in Christ. Part of the Tyndale New
Testament commentary series, Philippians: An Introduction and
Commentary examines the text section-by-section - exploring the
context in which it was written, providing thoughtful commentary on
the letter to the Philippians, and then unpacking its theology. It
will leave you with a thorough understanding of the content and
structure of Paul's writing, as well as its meaning and continued
relevance for Christians today. The Tyndale New Testament
Commentaries are ideal Bible commentaries for students and teachers
of theology, as well as being usable for preachers and individual
Christians looking to delve deeper into the riches of Scripture and
discover its meaning for today. Insightful and comprehensive,
Jeannine K. Brown's commentary on Philippians is a brilliant
introduction that will give you a renewed appreciation for this
rich Pauline epistle and a greater knowledge of why it is important
to the Christian faith.
The book of Revelation is the most developed example of a
scriptural writer wrestling with the ideological implications of
the gospel, and engaging with an opposing system in the light of
what God has done in Jesus. It is an apocalypse, a letter and a
prophecy. Ian Paul gives disciplined attention to the text,
examines how John draws on the Old Testament, indicates how his
message would have communicated and been understood in its
first-century context, and makes connections with our contemporary
world.
Tom Wright's guide to Luke, which includes a wealth of information
and background detail, provides real insights for our understanding
of the story of Jesus and its implications for the reader. His
clear style is accessible to new readers of the Bible, as well as
to those who are further on. His exciting new translation brings to
life, passage by passage, the immediacy and drama of Luke's gospel.
Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion,
with background information, useful interpretation and explanation,
and thoughts as to how it can be relevant to our lives today. No
knowledge of technical jargon is required. The series is suitable
for personal or group use. The format makes it appropriate also for
daily study.
Good news. It was good news, not only of Jesus' birth but of what
he offered to everyone throughout his ministry. To the sick he
offered healing. To the hurting, comfort. To the outcast,
acceptance. In this study you will discover that this message of
hope and joy is for you as well. This revised title features
questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in
personal reflection, as well as a "now or later" section in each
study. This book contains twenty six studies for individuals and
groups.
The guides in this series by Tom Wright can be used on their own or
alongside his New Testament for Everyone commentaries. They are
designed to help you understand the Bible in fresh ways under the
guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars.
We all long for a full, rich satisfying life. But how do we fill up
the empty places in our soul? How can we quench our thirst for
something deeper, more lasting, more meaningful? John urges us to
take a fresh look at Jesus and he invites us to renew our faith in
the One who promises to be the way to true life. 26 studies in 2
parts for individuals or groups. This revised title features
questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in
personal reflection, as well as a "now or later" section in each
study.
The 'Ephesians: For Everyone Bible Study Guide' by renowned
Christian author and professor, Tom Wright, is an excellent
starting point for new Christians, those studying or Bible study
groups to explore and understand more on the book of Ephesians. As
part of the 'For Everyone Bible Study Guides' series, this title by
Tom Wright offers a range of thought-provoking study questions and
accessible introductory material. The guides in this series can be
used on their own or alongside Tom Wright's engaging New Testament
for Everyone commentaries. 'For Everyone Bible Study Guides' are
designed to help you understand the Bible in fresh ways under the
guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars, Tom
Wright. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful
background and cultural information all guide you into a deeper
understanding of the Christian story and the Christian life. When
you have a story at the back of your mind, have you noticed how it
sometimes keeps coming up, even if you are talking about something
else? Throughout his exhortation, prayers and instructions for
living in the letter to the Ephesians, Paul cannot contain his joy
and amazement at God's plan to save us in Jesus the Messiah. These
eleven studies from Tom Wright within 'Ephesians: For Everyone
Bible Study Guide' help us to see the significance of our role in
God's grand narrative, and encourage us to live fully as people who
are lavishly loved by God. This book on Ephesians is the perfect
introduction to the topic, designed to not only teach but also
question the reader and give thoughtful insight.
'A letter was delivered, and a legacy had begun. Over other seas,
through other lands, across two thousand years and in even more
languages, the letter of the Romans speaks and speaks
meaningfully.' This Really Useful Guide to Romans is an exploration
of this complex letter to a church that Paul himself never visited.
Ernest Clark covers many helpful aspects of the letter, from its
intended recipients to its central themes. Emphasising that this is
a message of grace and good news to God's loved ones as well as a
profound theological treatise, he goes on to look at how Romans
fits alongside other New Testament writings and what it means for
us as believers today.

In this addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture,
two well-respected New Testament scholars interpret the Gospel of
John in its historical and literary setting as well as in light of
the Church's doctrinal, liturgical, and spiritual tradition. They
unpack the wisdom of the Fourth Gospel for the intellectual and
spiritual transformation of its readers and connect the Gospel with
a range of witnesses throughout the whole history of Catholicism.
This volume, like each in the series, is supplemented by features
designed to help readers understand the Bible more deeply and use
it more effectively in teaching, preaching, evangelization, and
other forms of ministry.
Winner of the 2013 Book Award of Excellence, The Foundation for
Pentecostal Scholarship What is the meaning of the Holy Spirit's
activity in Luke-Acts, and what are its implications for today?
Roger Stronstad offers a cogent and thought-provoking study of Luke
as a charismatic theologian whose understanding of the Spirit was
shaped wholly by his understanding of Jesus and the nature of the
early church. Stronstad locates Luke's pneumatology in the
historical background of Judaism and views Luke as an independent
theologian who makes a unique contribution to the pneumatology of
the New Testament. This work challenges traditional Protestants to
reexamine the impact of Pentecost and explores the Spirit's role in
equipping God's people for the unfinished task of mission. The
second edition has been revised and updated throughout and includes
a new foreword by Mark Allan Powell.
