The uniqueness of this commentary is its detailed, first-time uncovering of evidence that there were two editions of Proverbs, the first in the time of Solomon and the second created by "the men of Hezekiah" in support of King Hezekiah's historic religious reforms. Up to this time the puzzling features of the book's design, purpose, and message are clarified in this light and the book's relevance for its time and ours greatly enhanced.

Third volume of the long-awaited translation of one of Augustines classics and a great work in Christian literature. Newly translated by Maria Boulding, O.S.B., whose masterful translation of Augustines Confessions in the same series has been praised as being of a different level of excellence from practically anything else in the market (Bishop Rowan Williams, Monmouth, England). As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. They recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustines personal life, his theological reflections, and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo.

Isabel has walked in a faith Covenant relationship with the LORD, for approximately thirty years. In 1979 God called her to give up her work in the secular world, sell all that she owned and go to the Philippines. She was led into the mountain regions of Kalinga Apayao, to preach the gospel to the headhunting tribal people. The LORD worked with her confirming the preaching of His Word, with miraculous signs and wonders. This is recorded in her latest book, "THE MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH". She is also the author of Arise and Reap, Reaping with Joy and Come out of her, my People. In January 2000, Isabel returned to the Philippines on her fifth ministry mission. She was told by the Lord, to build and oversee a work which was to be named "Covenant Keepers", as the Lord desired to raise up a body of people who would walk in a faith Covenant relationship with Him. All was accomplished by the Lord's leading and provision. The Lord taught us that He is the Covenant keeping God, who has redeemed His saints from the curse of the law (Gal. 13:3).The curse of the law is sickness, pain, disease, suffering, poverty and the second death, which is eternal damnation in the lake of fire and brimstone (Duet. 28:15-61 & Rev. 21:8). In the Everlasting Covenant agreement which is sealed with the holy redeeming blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, God has freely provided forgiveness of sin, eternal life, imputed righteousness, divine provision, divine protection, and divine health for His redeemed saints. To walk in all the blessings of the Everlasting Covenant, we must first understand what blessings were freely provided in the Atonement in the Lord Jesus Christ, and take the blessings by faith. As you apply the teaching in this manual, you will learn to be a Covenant keeper, who will walk in all the blessings of the Everlasting Covenant.

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.

Die Bybel in Praktyk is ’n wetenskaplik verantwoorde werk, saamgestel deur ’n paneel bekende teoloë volgens die jongste Bybeluitlegmetodes. Dit wil gelowiges help om die Bybel beter te begryp, maar óók sy daaglikse lewe daarvolgens te rig.
