Great Story, they begin to understand how it all fits together and
they start see how their own lives fit into what God has done and
is doing in the world. In Living God's Word, Second Edition, New
Testament scholar J. Scott Duvall and Old Testament expert J.
Daniel Hays help Christians consider how their lives can be
integrated into the story of the Bible, thus enabling them to live

approach to the question of the unity of the whole Bible. This book
shows that God's desire to be with his people is a thread running
from Genesis through Revelation. Duvall and Hays make the case that
God's relational presence is central to the Bible's grand
narrative. It is the cohesive center that drives the whole biblical
story and ties together other important biblical themes, such as
covenant, kingdom, glory, and salvation history.

Bible Background Commentary provides fascinating cultural and
historical insights into God's Word. Richly illustrated with
full-color photos throughout, this one-volume background commentary
includes articles by leading Old and New Testament scholars on
subjects such as - countries, cities, and cultures of the Holy Land
and the Greco-Roman world - warfare and execution - religious
groups and customs - fashion, athletics, feasts, and celebrations -
honor, shame, and hospitality - and much more This colorful,
informative volume is an essential companion for pastors, teachers,
and laypeople who want to enhance their personal Bible study and
help others do the same.

SPANISH EDITION. Como leer la Biblia? Como interpretarla? Como
aplicarla? Este libro salva las distancias entre los acercamientos
hermeneuticos que son demasiado simples y los que son demasiado
tecnicos. Empieza recogiendo los principios generals de
interpretacion para, despues, applicar esos mismos principios a los
diferentes generos y contextos, a fin de que el lector pueda
entender el texto biblico y aplicarlo a su propia situacion. Duval
y Hays sugieren que los textos biblicos no significan lo que el
lector quiere. Los autores biblicos tenian en mente un significado
concreto, y Dios nos ha dado las herramientas necesarias para
llegar a ese significativo. Este libro contiene ejercicios
practicos que nos guian a traves del proceso de interpretacion
tanto del Antiguo como del Nuevo Testamento, y hace un enfasis
especial en la aplicacion de las ensenanzas biblicas a la vida
real.
After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that
no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and
language...' (Revelation 7:9) The visions in the book of revelation
give a glimpse of the people of God at the consummation of history
- a racially diverse congregation gathered together in worship
around God's throne. The theme of race runs throughout Scripture,
constantly pointing to the global and multi-ethnic dimensions
inherent in the overarching plan of God. In response to the neglect
of this theme in much evangelical scholarship, Dr Hays offers a
thorough exegetical study. As well as focusing on texts which have
a general bearing on race, Dr Hays also demonstrates that black
Africans from Cush (Ethiopia) play an important role in both Old
and New Testament history. This careful, nuanced analysis provides
a clear theological foundation for life in contemporary
multi-racial cultures, and challenges churches to pursue racial
unity in Christ.
People in churches today are hungry for a word from God. Preachers
need to prepare and deliver sound biblical sermons that connect

Preaching God's Word is a user-friendly, practical, and proven
textbook that walks you through the five steps of the "Interpretive
Journey" from the biblical text to contemporary application: Grasp
the text in their town (what it meant to the original audience).
Measure the width of the river that separates the biblical context
from today. Cross the principle bridge by identifying the timeless
theological principles. Consult the biblical map. Grasp the text in
our town. While the science of solid biblical interpretation is
essential to effective preaching, it must be married to the art of
contemporary communication in order to bring the message home.
Preaching God's Word also shows you how to understand your
audience, develop powerful applications, use illustrations well,
and deliver the sermon effectively. The concluding chapters discuss
the unique preaching challenges presented by the various biblical
genres, providing interpretive keys, things to avoid, and numerous
examples.
