New Testament Theology is a major new contribution to New Testament
scholarship by renowned scholar Eckhard Schnabel. While many New
Testament theologies approach the material through a particular
thematic construct (e.g., covenant), Schnabel takes a different
approach. First, he focuses on Jesus Messiah and his significance
for the early church. Second, he seeks to describe the theology of
the New Testament as it was written and read in its historical
context. This approach honors the fact that the authors and
original readers of the New Testament were real people dealing with
real issues in their specific ecclesiological, cultural, and
missiological settings. Schnabel comprehensively combines a
historical description of the New Testament's theology with a
systematic reflection on the New Testament's message and the
convictions of Jesus and his early followers. This valuable
contribution to the field will be insightful reading for students,
scholars, and pastors.
Eckhard Schnabel's two-volume Early Christian Mission is widely
recognized as the most complete and authoritative contemporary
study of the first-century Christian missionary movement. Now in
Paul the Missionary Schnabel draws on his research and provides a
manageable study for students of Paul as well as students and
practitioners of Christian mission today. Schnabel first focuses
the spotlight on Paul's missionary work - the realities he faced,
and the strategies and methods he employed. Applying his grasp of
the wide range of ancient sources and of contemporary scholarship,
he clarifies our understanding, expands our knowledge and corrects
our misconceptions of Paul the missionary. In a final chapter
Schnabel shines the recovered light of Paul's missionary methods
and practices on Christian mission today. Much like Roland Allen's
classic Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours? of nearly a century
ago, Schnabel offers both praise and criticism. For those who take
the time to immerse themselves in the world of Paul's missionary
endeavour, this final chapter will be both rewarding and searching.

With attention to issues that continue to surface in today s
church, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament
series offers pastors, students, and teachers a focused resource
for reading, teaching, and preaching the Book of Acts. Acts
highlights (1) the work of God through the exalted Jesus who grants
the presence of the Holy Spirit; (2) the significance of Jesus who
is Israel s Messiah and the Savior of the world and who directs the
expansion of the church; (3) the work of the Holy Spirit as
transforming power present in the lives of the followers of Jesus
and their communities; (4) the identity of the church as the
community of God, comprised of Jews and Gentiles who are followers
of Jesus; (5) the mission of the church whose leaders take the
gospel to cities and regions of the Roman Empire in which Jesus has
not yet been proclaimed as Messiah and Savior; (6) the historical
events and the persons who played a role in the expansion of
earliest Christianity."
Although the 500th anniversary celebration of the Reformation of
1517 is over, ministry in the church continues. In having looked to
the past, we now focus on the present to see how the church can
move forward with this strong historical base. Particularly, how do
the solas of the Reformation apply as we look at Scripture and work
within the church to nurture the laity in their practice of faith?
This was the discussion at a recent conference, "Reformation
Celebration," at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South
Hamilton, Massachusetts. This book (written and edited by
Gordon-Conwell professors) is the result of that conference, with
multidiscipline essays ranging from Luther on Scripture, grace, and
Christ to the implication today of the Christology of Athanasius
and Calvin. Some of the important questions addressed-historically,
theologically, and sociologically-include: * What does sola
scriptura (scripture alone) have to say about spiritual formation?
* What does Bible translation have to do with Christian mission? *
How do grace and works compare in Islam and Christianity? * In what
ways does sola gratia (grace alone) affect Christian counseling? *
How are social ethics shaped by sola gratia? * How is sola fide
(faith alone) the foundation for ministry? * In what way is solus
Christus (Christ alone) related to Christian wholeness and
maturity?
The letter to the Hebrews provides an amazing combination of
warnings and assurances to encourage Christians to persevere in
faith, hope, and love. The basis for this is a profound reflection
on the person and work of Christ, viewed as the fulfilment of Old
Testament Scripture. In this Tyndale commentary, David G. Peterson
shows how the author expounds the implications of the gospel with
pastoral insight and sensitivity, producing a "word of exhortation"
that reaches across the centuries to speak to our lives today. 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
New Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text
is structured under three headings: Context, Comment, and Theology.
The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its
message plain.
Mark wrote his Gospel to explain why and how Jesus is the Messiah
and Son of God who fulfills God's promises as he proclaims and
embodies the coming kingdom of God. Mark emphasizes Jesus'
authority and also his suffering and death as God's will for his
messianic mission. This Tyndale New Testament commentary from
Eckhard Schnabel seeks to help today's Christian disciples
communicate the significance of Jesus and the transforming power of
the good news. An exegetical commentary on the Gospel of Mark, this
volume will be useful for preachers, Bible teachers, and
non-specialists alike.

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.
This is the first book to describe and analyze, sequentially and in
detail, all the persons, places, times, and events mentioned in the
Gospel accounts of Jesus's last week in Jerusalem. Part reference
guide, part theological exploration, Eckhard Schnabel's Jesus in
Jerusalem uses the biblical text and recent archaeological evidence
to find meaning in Jesus's final days on earth. Schnabel profiles
the seventy-two people and groups and the seventeen geographic
locations named in the four passion narratives. Placing the events
of Jesus's last days in chronological order, he unpacks their
theological significance, finding that Jesus's passion, death, and
resurrection can be understood historically as well as from a faith
perspective.
Unlike Paul's letters to the Galatians or the Corinthians, the
letter to the Ephesians contains almost no clues about the
situation and issues its recipients faced. Nevertheless, the letter
vividly depicts how God's will revealed in Christ reorients
believers' lives toward unity, mutual respect, submission, and
love-in short, new life in Christ, relying on his power and
strength. In this Tyndale Commentary, Darrell Bock shows how this
precious jewel of a letter combines gospel doctrine, enablement,
and exhortation to life. 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 New Testament volumes, the commentary on

Context, Comment, and Theology. The goal is to explain the true
meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.
The cosmopolitan city of Corinth was the site of one of the apostle
Paul's greatest evangelistic successes. However, the church he
founded was full of contention, ranging from questions about
leadership to incest. Some Christians were taking fellow believers
to court. There were issues concerning marriage, celibacy, food
offered to idols, public worship, and spiritual gifts. In response,
Paul offered some of his most profound thinking on the body of
Christ, love, and Jesus' cross and resurrection. In this Tyndale
commentary Thomas Schreiner explains the text of the letter,
highlights its major theological themes, and points to its
relevance for today. 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

Equips Christians to defend the doctrine of inerrancy against a
culture and academy ever skeptical of the Bible's historical
claims.
Is historical accuracy an indispensable part of the Bible's
storyline, or is Scripture only concerned with theological truths?
As progressive evangelicals threaten to reduce the Bible's
jurisdiction by undermining its historical claims, every Christian
who cares about the integrity of Scripture must be prepared to
answer this question.
Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith? offers a firm defense of
Scripture's legitimacy and the theological implications of modern
and postmodern approaches that teach otherwise. In this timely and
timeless collection of essays, scholars from diverse areas of
expertise lend strong arguments in support of the doctrine of
inerrancy. Contributors explore how the specific challenges of
history, authenticity, and authority are answered in the text of
the Old and New Testaments as well as how the Bible is corroborated
by philosophy and archaeology.
With contributions from respected scholars--including Allan
Millard, Craig Blomberg, Graham Cole, Michael Haykin, Robert
Yarbrough, and Darrell Bock--Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith?
arms Christians with fresh insight, arguments, and language with
which to defend Scripture's historical accuracy against a culture
and academy skeptical of those claims.
