V. George Shillington sees this letter as Paul's personal testimony
about his ministry of reconciliation among the Corinthian
Christians (chapters 1-9) and his ministry in defending the truth
of the gospel (chapters 10-13). The thread that ties the two parts
together is Paul's conviction on pastoral ministry under the banner
of Christ. Paul insists that ministry is to be borne in affliction
like that of Christ crucified. In raising the crucified Messiah out
of the old creation, God has inaugurated a new creation, in which
believers already participate. The only boast allowed is in the
Lord, not in one's own achievements or elevated experiences. 312

Chalmer E. Faw brings Acts to life for our day. He blends thorough
biblical scholarship with wisdom from extensive and varied
experience in missionary work and Bible teaching. His careful
exposition of the book of Acts is supplemented with literary and
theological discussion.The key word in Acts is witness for Jesus
Christ, from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. God's Spirit
anoints the church at Pentecost, leads believers in handling
conflicts between converts new and old, and empowers Christians to
overcome false beliefs and magic. In Acts, Luke tells this dramatic
story with subtle humor. 336 Pages.
Unveiling Empire aims to be a fresh look, with new insights and
interpretations, at the apocalyptic visions described in The Book
of Revelation.'
Paul's letter to the young church in Rome has dramatically
influenced Christians through the ages. It has been described as a
'gateway into heaven'. In this letter Paul gives a complete picture
of the gospel - the fullest and grandest in the New Testament. His
horizons are vast, taking in time and eternity, the past, present
and future of humanity, and the great themes of justification,
sanctification and glorification. This is the most personally
rooted of John Stott's expositions, for he confesses to have
re-encountered Paul's letter constantly throughout his Christian
life. At the same time, her interacts with other commentators, some
of whom are challenging interpretations that are time-honoured and
traditional. He sees Romans as a Christian manifesto for our
increasingly unstable world, emphasising the good news of freedom
through Jesus Christ. Paul's vision of this freedom is astonishing.
It overcomes ethnic conflict, the darkness of moral guilt,
condemnation from God and alienation from others. It is a freedom
to serve God and our neighbours in love.
Ephesians presents readers with a volatile mix of assurance,
exhilarating worship, and forceful exhortation-a bracing challenge
to today's church. The letter convinces Thomas R. Yoder Neufeld
that the grace-gift of faithfulness leads to worship. Power, peace,
and new creation are gifts of grace equipping the church to
participate in God's reconciling embrace.This commentary guides
readers to a life-changing encounter with Ephesians, probing
interpretations, refreshing Christian teaching, and calling
everyone to "walk" accordingly, with a song in heart and throat.

The Bible Designed with Catholics in Mind
Every single page of this Bible has been carefully, lovingly designed.
In fact, one of our editors even hand-spaced every line of the Psalms
so their poetic nature could be maintained while remaining as readable
as possible.
Curtis Mitch, the principal annotator and associate editor of the
Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, said it best:
"The new Great Adventure Catholic Bible is a thing of beauty. There's
no other way to describe it.
The layout of the biblical text is wonderfully readable; its teaching
enhancements, which give Catholics needed help in grasping the grand
story of Salvation history, are superb; and even the maps and charts
are visually stunning.
Everything about this Bible says "read me!" Hats off to Jeff Cavins and
his team for pouring their gifts and talents into this fabulous new
resource. This is not a book you'll want in your library; it's a book
you'll want in your hands!"
Because of language, cultural, time, and geographical barriers
interpreting the minor prophets has at times frustrated and even
defied Old Testament scholars. In response to this frustration,
Robert Chisholm has written this volume. "Interpreting the Minor
Prophets" surveys the structure, message, and theological themes of
each of the twelve minor prophets. But the author does not stop
with a mere survey. As Ryken and others have demonstrated, literary
approaches are sweeping into the arena of biblical studies and,
according to Chisholm, this way of studying the Bible is long
overdue and most welcome. Therefore, he emphasizes the literary and
rhetorical aspects of each prophets' message as the key to
understanding the prophetic books.
"Interpreting the Minor Prophets" is an ideal text or resource
for anyone seeking thorough information on any or all of the minor
prophets.
Pleins' exposition reveals in the Psalms the core of a liberating
worship that grasps the realities of individual suffering as well
as the stern demands of social justice. Presenting a stirring fresh
translation of many of the ancient hymns and prayers of the
psalter, Pleins offers new perspectives on their meaning for the
individual as well as for the community, from biblical times to the
present.
Life is a hot mess. There's the bedlam of getting out the door in
the morning. The constant breaking down of our homes and bodies and
the cars we drive. And the institutions that promise to help are
often no better. We are surrounded by the constant disorder of
governments and disappointed by "organized" religion, the very
entities that tell us they can provide us sanity and security.
Instead, they leave us scratching our heads or licking our wounds.
Chaos surrounds us, and at times, it seems to rule our souls, our
families, and our world. But does chaos always end in failure or
flaw? What if chaos was more than the check engine light of lost
causes? What if chaos was the raw material out of which God
creates? In the beginning God brought order from chaos, filling the
chaos with a beautiful creation, and he's been doing it ever since.
Where you and I may experience confusion and disorder, God sees an
opportunity for something new--for a rebirth, a renewal, and a
renovation. God did this in the beginning, he did it again at the
cross, and with renewed vision for our disordered world today, we
look to God to do it again. Inspired by the powerful picture of
creation in Genesis 1:2, author Jessica LaGrone challenges the
hope-destroying belief that God has abandoned us in our broken
relationships, our pain, and our grief. In the midst of our
out-of-control lives, God is there, and he specializes in making
new things from the chaos threatens to drown us. When we experience
chaos in our own lives and everything feels like it is falling
apart, God is just getting started. When the Spirit of God hovers,
chaos can give birth to hope.
Throughout the Gospel of John Jesus poses a series of questions:
"What are you looking for?" "Do you want to be healed?" "Why do I
speak to you at all?" as well as the most poignant, addressed to
Peter, "Do you love me?" Michael Crosby's reflections on these
questions take us into the heart of John's gospel. He highlights an
important theme: the tension between a model of the church that
gives emphasis to the Petrine principle of apostolic authority and
a model of the church -- characterized by the Beloved Disciple --
that gives greater emphasis to loving service and discipleship. As
Crosby shows, it is in balancing the roles of both Peter and the
Beloved Disciple that the church best reflects the spirit of
Christ.
When the Jews were carried off into exile in Babylon, most people
assumed that it was the end of the story. In reality, God was just
getting started. As senior figures in the Babylonian and Persian
Empires, Daniel and Esther would discover that there is no foreign
ground for God. Their faithful obedience would, in fact, lead their
oppressive captors to faith in the God of Israel. God inspired the
Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your
life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you
will love Phil Moore's devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized
chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating
scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to
the Straight to the Heart series.
