In the book of Acts, the story of Jesus begun in the Gospel of Luke
broadens into the story of the Holy Spirit, guiding the fledgling
church to proclaim the saving reality of Jesus. While attentive to
Luke's roles as a literary artist and theologian, I. Howard
Marshall focuses primarily on Luke's role as a historian. He
provides the reader with an accurate, balanced and holistic picture
of the church's monumental first years as it sought to fulfil
Christ's mandate to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth.This
classic commentary has been completely retypeset and presented in a
fresh, vibrant new large paperback format, with new global
branding.
As a young church in a hostile environment, Peter's first readers
found in his first letter encouragement, not just for facing
suffering, but for living responsibly in the world as faithful
disciples of Jesus Christ. Christians today will also find in
Peter's letter a wealth of practical counsel on how to conduct
themselves in family and social life, as well as in relation to a
society that makes it tough to follow Jesus Christ.

A Concise New Testament Theology is an abridgment of I. Howard
Marshall's celebrated and award-winning New Testament Theology:
Many Witnesses, One Gospel. This condensed version packages for
students and laypeople the luminous considered conclusions and
insights of one of the most respected evangelical New Testament
scholars of our day. It is the perfect entrance into New Testament
theology, and its author-by-author approach will also make it an
attractive supplement for courses in New Testament survey or
introduction.
An ECPA Gold Medallion winner "New Testament theology is
essentially missionary theology," writes I. Howard Marshall.
Founded on a sure-footed mastery of the data and constructed with
clear thinking lucidly expressed, this long-anticipated New
Testament theology offers the insights born of a distinguished
career of study, reflection, teaching and writing on the New
Testament. Marshall's New Testament Theology will speak clearly to
a broad audience of students and nonspecialists. But even on the
most familiar ground, where informed readers might lower their
expectations of learning something new, Marshall offers deft
insights that sharpen understanding of the message of the New
Testament. Here is a New Testament theology that does not succumb
to the fashion of settling for an irreconcilable diversity of New
Testament voices but argues that "a synthetic New Testament
theology" is a real possibility. Beginning with the Gospels and
Acts, proceeding to each of Paul's letters, focusing then on the
Johannine literature and finally looking at Hebrews and the
remaining general epistles, Marshall repeatedly stops to assess the
view. And gradually he builds up a composite synthesis of the
unified theological voice of the New Testament. On the way toward
this synthesis, Marshall highlights clearly the theological voices
of the individual New Testament books. Thus, his New Testament
theology serves also as a sort of introduction to the New Testament
books, making it double as an attractive complement to book-by-book
introductions to the New Testament. Here is a New Testament
theology that will not only guide students and delight teachers but
also reward expositors with a lavish fund of insights for
preaching.
Is the Bible infallible? Can we believe in its inspiration and
practice biblical criticism? How is the Bible to be interpreted for
today? I. Howard Marshall's answers to these questions will be
helpful to all biblical students who are puzzled and confused by
current discussions of biblical inspiration and authority. Biblical
Inspiration will help to reassure conservative students regarding
the value of critical study of the Bible, and will clear away much
misunderstanding that the conservative view of the Bible is
obscurantist and unscholarly.
In this biblical commentary on 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Professor I.
Howard Marshall provides necessary background information for
serious study of these epistles, and makes a fresh attempt at
solving some of the problems of exegesis raised by these letters.
Evaluating historical evidence, this book defends earlyChristian
orthodoxy from the legacy of New Testament criticism: themodern
"orthodoxy of diversity."Beginning with Walter Bauer in 1934,
thedenial of clear orthodoxy in early Christianity has shaped
andlargely defined modern New Testament criticism, recently given
newlife through the work of spokesmen like Bart Ehrman. Spreading
fromacademia into mainstream media, the suggestion that diversity
ofdoctrine in the early church led to many competing orthodoxies
isindicative of today's postmodern relativism. AuthorsKostenberger
and Kruger engage Ehrman and others in thispolemic against a dogged
adherence to popular ideals ofdiversity.Kostenberger and Kruger's
accessible andcareful scholarship not only counters the "Bauer
Thesis" using itsown terms, but also engages overlooked evidence
from the NewTestament. Their conclusions are drawn from analysis of
theevidence of unity in the New Testament, the formation and
closingof the canon, and the methodology and integrity of the
recordingand distribution of religious texts within the early
church.
This statement reflects the underlying purpose of The New
International Commentary on the New Testament . Begun in the late
1940s by an international team of New Testament scholars, the NICNT
series has become recognized by pastors, students, and scholars
alike as a critical yet orthodox commentary marked by solid
biblical scholarship within the evangelical Protestant tradition.
Professors and students will warm to this clearly written and
well-informed introduction to the New Testament Letters and the
Apocalypse. Exploring the New Testament, Volume Two introduces
students of biblical studies and theology to Greco-Roman background
ancient letter writing content and major themes Paul's life,
mission and theology issues of authorship, date and setting methods
in reading and interpreting the New Testament Letters and
Revelation the intersection of New Testament criticism with
contemporary issues of faith and culture This revised edition
features updated text and bibliographies, and incorporates new
material gleaned from the experience of classroom use.
Recent studies of the Christology of John's Gospel have agreed in
recognizing the centrality of the concept of messianism, but differ
markedly in their interpretation of its character. Alongside the
traditional understanding of messiahship in terms of a kingly role
related to that of David, there is a newer understanding that is
related to the role of Moses and has little or no Davidic
background. Despite the broad scholarly consensus regarding the
Johannine connection between crucifixion and messianism, little
attention has been paid to the role of crucifixion in relation to
the nature of messiahship and in particular to the possibility that
this may shed light on whether or not John's messianism is
decisively shaped by the kingly or royal background. In The
Kingship-Cross Interplay in the Gospel of John Mavis Leung contends
that the cross motif plays a major role in authenticating the royal
character of messiahship in John over against views that deny or
play down this element.

A Christianity Today 1992 Critics' Choice Award winner As a young
church in a hostile environment, Peter's first readers found in his
letter encouragement, not just for facing suffering, but for living
responsibly in the world as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
Christians today will also find in Peter's letter a wealth of
practical counsel on how to conduct themselves in family and social
life, as well as in relation to a society that makes it tough to
follow Jesus Christ. In this invigorating volume from one of
today's leading evangelical scholars, readers will find an
introduction that discusses the letter's form, authorship,
destination and primary theological themes, followed by a
passage-by-passage commentary that always seeks to answer the
question of what the text means for us today as well as what it
meant for its original hearers. Students, pastors, Bible teachers
and everyone who wants to understand Peter's message for the church
will benefit from this excellent resource.
Towards Baptist Catholicity contends that the reconstruction of the
Baptist vision requires a retrieval of the ancient ecumenical
traditions. Themes explored include catholic identity tradition as
a theological category the relationship between Baptist confessions
of faith and the patristic tradition the importance of Trinitarian
catholicity catholicity in biblical interpretation Karl Barth as a
paradigm for evangelical retrieval of the patristic theological
tradition worship as a principal bearer of tradition and the role
of Baptist higher education in shaping the Christian vision.
In the book of Acts the story of Jesus begun in the Gospel of Luke
broadens into the story of the Holy Spirit, guiding the fledgling
church to proclaim the saving reality of Jesus. While attentive to
Luke's roles as a literary artist and theologian, I. Howard
Marshall focuses primarily on Luke's role as a historian. He
provides the reader with an accurate, balanced and holistic picture
of the church's monumental first years as it sought to fulfill
Christ's mandate to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth. The
original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely
retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the
new cover design for the series. The Tyndale New Testament
Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study.
Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical
scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable and relevant
explanations of every book in the New Testament. The Tyndale
volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible
actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume
gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date
and historical background of the biblical book under consideration.
The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing
out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and
deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get
at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to
readers today.
The Christian understanding of the meaning of the death of Jesus
Christ and its relationship to the salvation of sinful humanity is
currently the subject of intense debate and criticism. The papers
covering this important area are expanded versions of the 2006
series of Chuen King Lectures given in the Chinese University of
Hong Kong.In the first two chapters, I. Howard Marshall discusses
the nature of the human plight in relation to the judgment of God
and then offers a nuanced defence of the doctrine of the
substitutionary death of Jesus Christ for sinners. The third
chapter examines the place of the resurrection of Christ as an
integral part of the process whereby sinners are put in the right
with God. In the final chapter argues that in our communication of
the gospel today the New Testament concept of reconciliation may be
the most comprehensive and apt expression of the lasting
significance of the death of Christ.
- ." . . The Lord's Supper should be celebrated frequently in the
church, and there is good reason for doing so on each Lord's Day."
- "The Lord's Supper today should be open to all who wish to feed
on Christ and profess faith in him." - "The New Testament envisages
the use of one loaf and a common cup. It would be good to maintain
this symbolism today." These are but three of several provocative
conclusions reached by the distinguished theologian I. Howard
Marshall in this easy-to-understand and comprehensive survey of the
New Testament accounts of the Lord's supper. This book explores the
nature of other sacred meals in the ancient world, principally
Jewish; the relationship to one or other of the biblical accounts
themselves; the nature of the meal celebrated by the early church;
the significance of the Last Supper as demonstrated by Jesus; and
then as demonstrated by the early church. Understanding the supper
as a Passover meal, Marshall shows the meal's orientation towards
the death, resurrection and second coming of Jesus and its
centrality to the life of the church. In doing so, he draws out a
number of principles important for the Christian community today.
I. Howard Marshall is Professor of New Testament and the University
of Aberdeen. He has written numerous books including Biblical
Inspiration and I Believe in the Historical Jesus.
