"Atonement by the Resurrection" shows that the resurrection of Christ was a causal factor counteracting sin and its consequences, thereby producing the reconcilliation of humanity with God. It was not simply a sign that it had been achieved. Thus is was an event which was complimentary to the Crucifixion in its consequences. The present book attempts to recitfy that inbalance, by offering an orignal account, of the much neglected role of the Resurrection, as one of the causes of humanity's salvation. It must not be regarded simply as a sign of its successful accomplishment.

Hebrews seems like unpromising material for feminist interpretation, although it is the only New Testament writing for which female authorship has been seriously posited. Mary Ann Beavis and HyeRan Kim-Cragg highlight the similarities between Hebrews and the book of Wisdom/Sophia, which share cosmological, ethical, historical, and sapiential themes, revealing that Hebrews is in fact a submerged tradition of Sophia-Wisdom. They also tackle the sacrificial Christology of Hebrews, concluding that in its ancient context, far from symbolizing suffering and abjection, sacrifice was understood as celebratory and relational. Contributions from Filipina (Maricel and Marilou Ibita), Jewish (Justin Jaron Lewis), historical (Nancy Calvert-Koyzis), and First Nations (Marie Annharte Baker) perspectives bring additional scholarly, cultural, religious, and experiential wisdom to the commentary. From the Wisdom Commentary series Feminist biblical interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now makes possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It is our hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current feminist biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid all readers in their advancement toward God's vision of dignity, equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority, ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from different parts of the world, showing the importance of social location in the process of interpretation and that there is no single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.

The Revelation Of St John The Divine. the terminal document of the Holy Bible, subject of countless studies and interpretations.

Is Revelation in fact the ultimate Satanic text, an invocation to the Anti-Christ, the Great Beast 666 who is poised to take control of our decaying planet?

Is it a prophecy of nuclear war and entropy, the utter destruction of the universe which comes with the breaking of the Seventh Seal?

Or is it an eye-witness account of the first wave of alien invasions of Earth, a primitive response to deep-space technology we can only now begin to comprehend?

Revelation is presented here as a work in its own right, as its millennial significance reaches critical mass, to be re-evaluated by theologians, scientist and the common man alike. In his revolutionary introduction, apocalypse watchman Kenneth Rayner Johnson (author of Armageddon 2000) ponders each and every possibility of the text's origins and meaning -- and emerges with a staggering conclusion.

The wisdom and encouragement of Scripture are found in this convenient, user-friendly edition of the NIV Bible, ideal for evangelism and missionary work. Perfect for those reading the Bible for the very first time, the NIV Outreach New Testament Large Print helps explore what God's Word has to say to you and the rest of his people. This affordably priced Bible includes the New Testament text of the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version in a large 10.5-point type size in a softcover binding.

Many voices speaking today about the end times sound a lot like Chicken Little: they prophesy doom and destruction, the Antichrist and Armageddon. All this apocalyptic speculation creates an atmosphere of sensationalism and dread--but the Revelation of Jesus to John was meant to bring hope. Too many Christians have become hesitant to study this book of the Bible because of the confusion that surrounds it. But as an experienced pastor, Dan Boone affirms that any child of God can read and understand the truth of Revelation. His friendly, conversational style brings the message of Revelation into the idiom of life in our contemporary world. This book will help readers understand: The context of the Revelation and what it meant to the churches of that day The characteristics of apocalyptic and prophetic literature and how they are meant to be read The application that this important book of the Bible holds for our lives today Answers for Chicken Little gives a responsible interpretation of Revelation that replaces predictions of doom with a compelling vision of who Jesus is and of His message about living as a redeemed people with hope for the future.
