This book brings the best of leadership theory and research
together with biblical reflection and examples of leadership in
action to offer a practical guide to Christian leaders. Combining
expertise in leadership studies and biblical studies, Justin Irving
and Mark Strauss explore how leadership models have moved from
autocratic and paternalistic leader-centered models toward an
increased focus on followers. The authors show how contemporary
theories such as transformational leadership, authentic leadership,
and servant leadership take an important step toward prioritizing
and empowering followers who work with leaders to accomplish
organizational goals. Irving and Strauss organize their book around
"nine empowering practices," making it accessible to students,
church leaders, and business leaders. Integrating solid research in
leadership studies with biblical and theological reflection on the
leadership ideas that are most compatible with Christian faith,
this book is an important resource for all Christian students of
leadership.

....To Christians worldwide, the man Jesus of Nazareth is the
centerpiece of history, the object of faith, hope, and worship.
Even those who do not follow him admit the vast influence of his
life. For anyone interested in knowing more about Jesus, study of
the four biblical Gospels is essential. The second edition of Four
Portraits, One Jesus has been updated throughout to meet the needs
to today's students. It is a thorough yet accessible introduction
to the four biblical Gospels and their subject, the life and person
of Jesus. Like different artists rendering the same subject using
different styles and points of view, the Gospels paint four highly
distinctive portraits of the same remarkable Jesus. With clarity
and insight, Mark Strauss illuminates these four books addressing
the following important areas: First he addresses the nature,
origin, methods for study, and historical, religious, and cultural
backgrounds of the Gospels. He then moves on to closer study of
each narrative and its contribution to our understanding of Jesus,
investigating things such as plot, characters, and theme. Finally,
he pulls it all together with a detailed examination of what the
Gospels teach about Jesus' ministry, message, death, and
resurrection, with excursions into the quest for the historical
Jesus and the historical reliability of the Gospels. This textbook
together with its workbook, video lectures, and laminated sheet
gives students everything they need for a thorough and enriching
study of Jesus and the Gospels.

Many find it difficult to take words that were written thousands of
years ago and apply them to twenty-first-century life in the
Western world. How do we read God's unchanging Word in a world that
is increasingly defined by change?
"How to Read the Bible in Changing Times" shows everyday Christians
how to interpret and apply the Scriptures regardless of time and
culture. Rather than seeing the Bible as a magic answer book, a
list of commands to obey, or a series of promises to claim, this
insightful book allows the Bible to retain its identity as a
complex, inspired document while showing that the truth it contains
is relevant and life-changing. It shows the reader how to
determine the meaning of the text in its original context
identify culturally relative features
understand what the text teaches about God, his will, and his
purposes
apply the truths discovered to contemporary life situations
It even shows readers how to discern God's will on the many modern
issues that the Bible does not directly address.

Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical
Commentary on the New Testament features today's top New Testament
scholars and brings together commentary features rarely gathered
together in one volume. With careful analysis and interpretation of
the Greek text, the authors trace the flow of argument in each New
Testament book, giving readers the tools they need to properly
understand and communicate the meaning of the text. Commentary on
each passage follows a clear structure to help readers grasp the
flow and meaning of the text: Literary Context: A brief discussion
of how the passage functions in the broader literary context of the
book. Main Idea: A one- or two-sentence statement of the big idea
or central thrust of the passage. Translation and Graphical Layout:
Presents each commentator's translation of the Greek text in a
graphical layout to help the reader visualize, and thus better
understand, the flow of thought within the text. Structure:
Describes the flow of thought in the passage and explains how
certain interpretive decisions regarding the relationship of the
clauses were made in the passage. Exegetical Outline: The overall
structure of the passage is described in a detailed exegetical
outline. This will be particularly helpful for those who are
looking for a way to concisely explain the flow of thought in the
passage in a teaching or preaching setting. Explanation of the
Text: Commentators examine words and images, grammatical details,
relevant Old Testament and Jewish background to a particular
concept, historical and cultural context, important text-critical
issues, and various interpretive issues that surface. Theology in
Application: The theological message of the passage is summarized.
The author discusses the theology of the text in terms of its place
within the book and in a broader biblical-theological context.
Finally, each commentator provides some suggestions on what the
message of the passage is for the church today. The Zondervan
Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series is the go-to
resource for pastors and Bible teachers looking for deep but
accessible study that equips them to connect the needs of
Christians today with the biblical text.
With so many Bible translations available today, how can you find
those that will be most useful to you? What is the difference
between a translation that calls itself literal and one that is
more meaning-based ? And what difference does it make for you as a
reader of God s Word? How to Choose a Translation for All Its Worth
brings clarity and insight to the current debate over translations
and translation theories. Written by two seasoned Bible
translators, here is an authoritative guide through the maze of
translations issues, written in language that everyday Bible
readers can understand. Learn the truth about both the
word-for-word and meaning-for-meaning translations approaches. Find
out what goes into the whole process of translation, and what makes
a translation accurate and reliable. Discover the strengths and
potential weaknesses of different contemporary English Bible
versions. In the midst of the present confusion over translations,
this authoritative book speaks with an objective, fair-minded, and
reassuring voice to help pastors, everyday Bible readers, and
students make wise, well-informed choices about which Bible
translations they can depend on and which will best meet their
needs."

Continuing a Gold Medallion Award-winning legacy, the completely
revised Expositor's Bible Commentary puts world-class biblical
scholarship in your hands. A staple for students, teachers, and
pastors worldwide, The Expositor's Bible Commentary (EBC) offers
comprehensive yet succinct commentary from scholars committed to
the authority of the Holy Scriptures. The EBC uses the New
International Version of the Bible, but the contributors work from
the original Hebrew and Greek languages and refer to other
translations when useful. Each section of the commentary includes:
An introduction: background information, a short bibliography, and
an outline An overview of Scripture to illuminate the big picture
The complete NIV text Extensive commentary Notes on textual
questions, key words, and concepts Reflections to give expanded
thoughts on important issues The series features 56 contributors,
who: Believe in the divine inspiration, complete trustworthiness,
and full authority of the Bible Have demonstrated proficiency in
the biblical book that is their specialty Are committed to the
church and the pastoral dimension of biblical interpretation
Represent geographical and denominational diversity Use a balanced
and respectful approach toward marked differences of opinion Write
from an evangelical viewpoint For insightful exposition, thoughtful
discussion, and ease of use-look no further than The Expositor's
Bible Commentary.
Learn to identify, evaluate, and refine your approach to forming
theological conclusions based on the biblical text. The Bible has
long served as the standard for Christian practice, yet believers
still disagree on how biblical passages should be interpreted and
applied. Only when readers fully understand the constructs that
inform their process of moving from Scripture to theology--and
those of others--can Christians fully evaluate teachings that claim
to be "biblical." In this book--part of the Counterpoints
series--scholars who affirm an inspired Bible, relevant and
authoritative for every era, present models they consider most
faithful to Scripture Walter C. Kaiser, Jr.: Principlizing Model
Daniel M. Doriani: Redemptive-Historical Model Kevin J. Vanhoozer:
Drama-of-Redemption Model William J. Webb: Redemptive-Movement
Model Each position receives critiques from the proponents of the
other views. Moreover, due to the far-reaching implications this
topic holds for biblical studies, theology, and church teaching,
this book includes three additional reflections by Christopher J.
H. Wright, Mark L. Strauss, and Al Wolters on the theological and
practical interpretation of biblical texts. The Counterpoints
series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on
topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and
respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop
reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions
on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
An In-Depth Look at Bible Translation .The concerns, issues, and
approaches .The history .The ins and outs of the translation task
With a reach that covers the entire globe, the Bible is the
best-selling, most earnestly studied book of all time. It has been
translated into well over 1,000 languages, from those of global
reach such as English, French, and Arabic, to a myriad of isolated
tribal tongues. Yet while most readers of the English Bible have a
favorite version, few understand how the different translations
came about, or why there are so many, or what determines whether a
particular translation is trustworthy. Written in tribute to one of
today s true translation luminaries, Dr. Ronald Youngblood, The
Challenge of Bible Translation will open your eyes to the
principles, the methods, the processes, and the intricacies of
translating the Bible into language that communicates clearly,
accurately, and powerfully to readers of many countries and
cultures. This remarkable volume marshals the contributions of
foremost translators and linguists. Never before has a single book
shed so much light on Bible translation in so accessible a fashion.
In three parts, this compendium gives scholars, students, and
interested Bible readers an unprecedented grasp of: 1. The Theory
of Bible Translation 2. The History of Bible Translation 3. The
Practice of Bible Translation The Challenge of Bible Translation
will give you a new respect for the diligence, knowledge, and care
required to produce a good translation. It will awaken you to the
enormous cost some have paid to bring the Bible to the world. And
it will deepen your understanding of and appreciation for the
priceless gift of God s written Word. Contributors Kenneth L.

To Christians worldwide, the man Jesus of Nazareth is the
centerpiece of history, the object of faith, hope, and worship.
Even those who do not follow him admit the vast influence of his
life. For anyone interested in knowing more about Jesus, study of
the four biblical Gospels is essential. An abridged edition of the
bestselling textbook Four Portraits, One Jesus by Mark Strauss,
this simple, easy-to-understand guide introduces the four biblical
Gospels and their subject, the life and person of Jesus. Like
different artists rendering the same subject using different styles
and points of view, the Gospels paint four distinctive portraits of
the same remarkable Jesus. With clarity and insight, Mark Strauss
addresses questions that surround the study of Jesus and the
Gospels. What are the Gospels - are they history, theology,
biography? Where did they come from? What do we know about their
context? What does each Gospel uniquely teach us about Jesus?
Finally, he pulls it all together illuminating what the Gospels
together teach about Jesus' ministry, message, death, and
resurrection, and how do we know we can trust their witness.
Including questions at the end of each chapter for group discussion
or personal reflection, Introducing Jesus makes the words, history,
and context of the Gospels come alive for readers.
