The Bible contains hundreds of genealogies that fulfill multiple
purposes, yet the significance of these genealogies can admittedly
be difficult to grasp. In All the Genealogies of the Bible, author
Nancy presents every genealogy in the Bible in a simple, visual
format. Esteemed biblical scholars Eugene Merrill and Andreas
Kostenberger supplement Dawson's work with brief commentary on each
genealogy. Dawson works with both complete genealogies and partial
lists, piecing together names in different passages to illustrate
the interrelationships of various biblical characters for deeper
study. Including more than 340 genealogies, All the Genealogies of
the Bible is organized in biblical order and is equipped with tools
you'll need to navigate the book easily: A detailed table of
contents A Complete Index of Names Comprehensive cross-referencing
A one-of-a-kind reference work, All the Genealogies of the Bible
will be useful for pastors, Bible teachers, students, and anyone
wanting to study the Bible more deeply from the unique vantage
point of its many genealogies.
From the origins and exodus to the restoration and new hope,
"Kingdom of Priests" offers a comprehensive introduction to the
history of Old Testament Israel. Merrill explores the history of
ancient Israel not only from Old Testament texts but also from the
literary and archeological sources of the ancient Near East. After
selling more than 30,000 copies, the book has now been updated and
revised. The second edition addresses and interacts with current
debates in the history of ancient Israel, offering an up-to-date
articulation of a conservative evangelical position on historical
matters. The text is accented with nearly twenty maps and charts.
Did God condone genocide in the Old Testament? How do Christians
harmonize the warrior God of Israel with the God of love incarnate
in Jesus? Christians are often shocked to read that Yahweh, the God
of the Israelites, commanded the total destruction--all men, women,
and children--of the ethnic group known as the Canaanites. This
seems to contradict Jesus' command in the New Testament to love
your enemies and do good to all people. How can Yahweh be the same
God as the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ? What does genocide in
the Bible have to do with the politics of the 21st century? Show
Them No Mercy explores the Old Testament command of God to
exterminate the Canaanite population and what that implies about
continuity between the Old and New Testaments. The four views
presented are: Strong Discontinuity - emphasizes the strong
tension, regarding violence, between the two main texts of the
Bible (C.S. Cowles) Moderate Discontinuity - provides a
justification of God's actions in the Old Testament with strong
emphasis on exegesis (Eugene H. Merrill) Eschatological Continuity
- a reading of the warfare narratives that ties them contextually
to the book of Revelation and the Second Coming (Daniel L. Gard)
Spiritual Continuity - incorporates the genocidal account into the
full picture of the Old and New Testaments (Tremper Longman III)
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.
"The World and the Word" is a fresh introduction to the Old
Testament driven largely by the fact that so much Christian
preaching and teaching today increasingly ignores what is eighty
percent of the Bible. Authors Eugene Merrill, Mark Rooker, and
Michael Grisanti work through the world and text of the Old
Testament always making three major points:
- The Old Testament is a rich source of theology and doctrine that
is presupposed by the New Testament. Without it, Christian theology
would be seriously deficient.
- Mastery of the Old Testament is crucial to an understanding of
the New Testament.
- The Old Testament offers, by teaching and example, practical
principles of belief and behavior for contemporary times. Who God
was and what He did then can be replicated in the lives of men and
women today.
Separating the verifiable biblical and extra-biblical data from the
various interpretations of that same information, the book further
shows how the Old Testament forms the platform and matrix from
which sprang the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus and the
church. "The World and the Word" will help students see an entry
point into the very heart and design of God who loves them and
wishes to make them the special object of His grace.
Merrill has extensively updated this popular-level Old Testament
history to discuss updates in archaeology and textual
understanding. It is also more current as a defense of the Bible's
accuracy.
