In 1611, the King James Version Bible, also known as the Authorized Version, was published. Nearly 50 of the day's finest scholars, all from the Church of England, had been organized into six groups for the task. Using the Bishop's Bible of 1568 as the basis for this revision, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew and the New Testament from Greek. The completed work was then peer-reviewed before being sent to bishops and other church leaders for their examination, and ultimately to King James, monarch of England and Scotland, for his approval. Today, more than 400 years since its initial publication, the bestselling King James Version Bible continues to inspire, encourage, and strengthen people from all walks of life. The KJV is considered one of the most influential and beautiful works of literature in the English language and continues to be the favorite translation for millions of Christians.

'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.

'This is a wonderful companion for Lent by Bishop David Walker. It is short but deep, and engages the reader in both prayer and reflection. A perfect way to explore what it means for all of us to belong to Christ in a challenging world.' Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury Every day during Lent Bishop David Walker invites us to look afresh at a Biblical character or saint. We gain new insights into their lives. He helps us journey through Lent with a deeper knowledge of how much God loves and treasures us. God reminds us 'You are mine.' David draws on his experience as an ordinary member of a family and a friend, a theologian and a Bishop. God's desire is for us to belong to Jesus and to each other. The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu 'Again and again, as I have sought to look into both the scriptures and my own life, I have heard in the silence the one who assures me, ever more strongly, 'You are mine'. My hope and prayer is that you who read it will hear something of the same.' At this time of Lent, David Walker explores different aspects of human belonging through the medium of scripture and story in order to help us recognise the different ways in which we are God's beloved. And as we recognise ourselves and our own lives in the narrative of God's engagement with humanity and his creation, he gently challenges us to engage for God's sake with God's world.

Here are 40 simple but penetrating reflections on the task of walking daily in the light of Christ. They are accompanied by a range of beautiful illustrations. Darkness cannot remain in the presence of light. Yet it is not as simple as the flicking on of a switch. It requires action on our part. For in the shadowy corners of our daily lives, where pain, loneliness, and disappointment linger, we need to choose to leave the darkness behind and follow the light. That light is to be found in the One who declares Himself to be the Light of the World. In forty short devotional readings Catherine encourages us to make living in the Light a daily practice by accessing the power available to us in Jesus. As we do so we will see the darkness flee before our eyes.

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.
