The entire text has been developed and refined in the light of the
authors' decades of experience in teaching students at first- and
second-year undergraduate level
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.
Faithfulness is fuelled by a renewed imagination for God's world
and our place in it. The Book of Revelation has often been treated
as a futuristic prophecy - a road map of a bizarre future to be
inflicted on the world by an angry God. Ian Paul invites you
explore how the book's author draws on a style of writing familiar
to Jesus and his first followers, and encourages God's people to
stay faithful despite the world's pressures to compromise. This
fascinating six-session guide with its blend of insightful
mini-features, timely notes and skilful questions will help you
approach this book with fresh eyes. You'll gain a richer
understanding of God's world and a fresh confidence to reimagine
your place in it.
A series of essays by different contributors exploring what Messy
Church brings to the wider church, how these different forms of
church community can coexist, and what this might mean for the
future of the church. Questions addressed include: What will church
look like in 20 years' time? How can Messy Church help Christians
unite a passion for mission with a heart for ministry? What can
Messy Church and Sunday Church learn from each other?
Alcohol use is complex and multifaceted. Our understanding must be
also. Alcohol use, both problematic and not, can be understood at
many levels - from basic biological systems through to global
public health interventions. To provide the multi-level perspective
needed to address this complexity, the Handbook of Alcohol Use
draws together an eclectic set of authors, including both
researchers and practitioners, to examine the causes, processes and
effects of alcohol consumption. Specifically, this book approaches
the topic from biological, individual cognition, small
group/systems, and domestic/global population perspectives. Each
examines alcohol use differently and each offers its own ways to
combat problematic behavior. While these alternative viewpoints are
sometimes construed as incompatible or antagonistic, the current
volume also explores how they can be complimentary. In summary, the
Handbook of Alcohol Use brings together an international group of
experts to explore how alcohol use can be understood from various
perspectives and how these conceptualizations relate. In doing so,
it allows us to understand alcohol consumption, and our responses
to it, more from an account which spans 'from synapse to society'.
Whatever we know about the New Testament, and however much we have
studied it, it only has real value as its truths are proclaimed so
that our lives are transformed, as God himself speaks and acts. The
New Testament writers were very interested in conveying their
message persuasively, and this volume addresses the question of how
we should preach from the New Testament in a way that is faithful
to the text. The chapters cover the main texts and genres, along
with the infancy narratives, parables, miracles, the Sermon on the
Mount, ethics, future hope and judgment, archaeology and history,
hermeneutics, and the 'New Homiletic'. The aim is to offer insights
into how to interpret, communicate and apply the New Testament, for
today's preachers and Bible teachers who seek to 'proclaim the Word
of life' (1 John 1:1). The contributors are respected scholars who
are also active in preaching: Charles Anderson, D. A. Carson, the
late R. T. France, Justin Hardin, Mariam Kamell, I. Howard
Marshall, Jason Maston, John Nolland, Peter Oakes, William
Olhausen, Klyne Snodgrass, Helge Stadelmann, Christoph Stenschke,
Stephen Travis, David Wenham, Paul Weston and Stephen Wright.

"My name is Eoin, and I'm mentally ill. Every day is filled with
whispers, and every night with tears. Nothing can stop the
unrelenting sounds that tear my life apart. Now there's a new
doctor, and a miracle pill. But instead of banishing the whispers,
it gives them a voice, and that voice is telling me that my doctor
is out to get me" Eoin Murphy is a 15 year old boy caught between
two worlds. When his mysterious new doctor proposes a radical
treatment, he jumps at the chance to rid himself of the haunting
whispers that plague his thoughts. But the whispers do not go away.
Instead there is a new voice, stronger and clearer than those
before, one with dire warnings and strange demands. The voice tells
Eoin that his doctor is lying and will get him killed. Isolated
from his family, Eoin must decide who he will believe, as the world
he thought he knew crumbles around him. Who can he trust, his
doctor, or the other whisper?
In this second book of the series Donkey Oatie encounters human
friends with painted nails, braids, and body piercings and starts
to imagine how he would look, but the shock of imagining the net
effect convinces him he would prefer to remain "a good-looking and
happy little donkey." Again Tom Rath provides a cute story with a
message and Ian provides captivating illustrations.
The Book of Revelation is a remarkable text. A fascinating piece of
Scripture as well as an extraordinary piece of literature, its
interpretation has affected our theology, art and worship, and even
international politics. Yet it is widely neglected in the church
and almost entirely avoided from the pulpit. In this Tyndale
Commentary, Ian Paul takes a disciplined approach to the text,
paying careful attention to the ways that John draws from the Old
Testament. Additionally, Paul examines how the original audience
would have heard this message from John, and then draws helpful
comments for contemporary reflection. The Tyndale Commentaries are
designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text
says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a
concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original
setting, and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the
Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main
themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of
interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of
particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the
commentary on each section of the text is structured under three
headings: Context, Comment, and Meaning. The goal is to explain the
true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.
The New Testament writers proclaimed their message passionately and
persuasively. This volume explores how we can preach faithfully
from those texts. The chapters cover the main texts and genres of
the New Testament, and offer particular insights into the infancy
narratives, parables, miracles, the Sermon on the Mount, ethics,
future hope and judgment, archaeology and history, hermeneutics and
the "New Homiletic." Building on sound principles of
interpretation, communication and application, this book supports
the efforts of preachers and Bible teachers to proclaim the good
news to listeners today. Contributors include: Charles Anderson, D.
A. Carson, the late R. T. France, Justin Hardin, Mariam Kamell, I.
Howard Marshall, Jason Maston, John Nolland, Peter Oakes, William
Olhausen, Klyne Snodgrass, Helge Stadelmann, Christoph Stenschke,
Stephen Travis, Paul Weston and Stephen Wright.
Neurological complications of progressive HIV-1 infection remain a
common cause of morbidity even during widespread use of
antiretroviral therapy (ART). Long-term resistance to ART, drug
compliance, untoward drug side effects, a myriad of opportunistic
infection, depression and other psychiatric disease manifestations,
concomitant drug abuse, neuropathies, and an inability to clear
viral reservoirs, explain, in large measure, disease progression
and immune deterioration. These are associated with a number of
psychiatric, muscle, nerve, infectious, as well as cognitive,
behavioral, and motor disturbances seen in infected people. Fully
updated from the previous two editions and replete with color
images, The Neurology of AIDS, Third Edition covers each of these
neurological complications and more with a focus on molecular and
viral disease processes, cellular factors influencing viral
replication therapeutic challenges, and the changing
epidemiological patterns of disease. From basic science to clinical
care, to epidemiological disease patters, The Neurology of AIDS is
the only complete textbook available on AIDS neurology and the only
one comprehensive enough to stand alone in each segment of study in
brain disorders affected by the human immunodeficiency virus. It is
an indispensable resource for students, resident physicians,
practicing physicians, and for researchers and experts in the
HIV/AIDS field.
Marking the different seasons of the Christian year, with their
varying moods, is becoming more and more popular across all the
churches, even those which are not liturgical in tradition. The
rhythm of the seasons often echoes the natural world around us, and
as we enter the darkest days of the year, the Church keeps Advent
and watches and waits for the promise of light and hope. There is
more than enough commercial pressure at this time of the year to
sap anyone's energy and destroy any sense of what Advent and
Christmas are about and this simple book of short daily readings is
the perfect antidote to the frenzy that is December. It reminds us
too that Christmas starts and doesn't end on the 25th. The
lectionary readings for the season focus on hope and justice and
these are the themes that the students of St. John's, all in
training for the Anglican ministry, reflect on in this book.
