The second in a series of six textbooks written by authors who have
extensive experience of teaching students in the first two years of
university level study. It enables students to engage with Letters
and Revelation for themselves, and not just to be passive learners,
and offers activities and challenges at introductory and
intermediate levels, and the key background information needed to
enable them to work at the required level. This new edition
includes updated bibliographies throughout, with numerous
corrections and updates.
The entire text has been developed and refined in the light of the
authors' decades of experience in teaching students at first- and
second-year undergraduate level
The original edition of this concordance, published in 1897, was
primarily based on the Greek text of Westcott and Hort but gave all
the variants in the edition of Tischendorf and in the Greek text
underlying the Revised Version of the English Bible. This sixth
edition retains all the features of earlier ones, but it is
primarily based on the Greek text in the Greek New Testament
(fourth edition), which is identical with that in "Novum
Testamentum Graece" (27th edition). It incorporates the main
marginal readings in the former of these texts, and references to
the variants in the older editions are preserved, so that the
student has to hand every reading which by even a remote
probability might be regarded as forming part of the true text of
the New Testament. The supplement incorporating the prepositions
has been included in the main text of the concordance. Where the
same word occurs twice in the same verse, these occurrences are now
printed on separate lines and individually verse-numbered so that
it is easier to count the number of occurrences of any given word.
Special new Greek fonts have been created to enable greater clarity
in the printing.
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.
The New Bible Dictionary is a reference work ideally suited for
people of all ages and backgrounds. This magnificent and
comprehensive Bible dictionary has set the standard for evangelical
Bible dictionaries for five decades. Now in its third, updated
edition, it is the clear leader in its field. The third edition is
an important step forward in bringing this classic work up to date
with the latest developments in biblical studies, ancient Near
Eastern studies and archaeological finds. One hundred of the most
important articles have been revised and rewritten. All of the
bibliographies have been revised, taking into account the vast
increase in publications since the second edition was released. The
third edition of theNew Bible Dictionary will increase the reader's
knowledge and understanding of God's Word as no other single book
can do. It is an invaluable reference book for schools and
colleges, theological and Bible college students, ministers and
laypeople, teachers and professional scholars--everyone who wants
to know and understand the Bible better.
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.
This book breaks new ground in offering an exposition of the
theological message of the Shorter Pauline Letters. Karl P.
Donfried expounds the theology of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, examining
the cultural setting of these letters and the particular milieu in
which their distinctive themes took shape. He shows that the notion
of election is a key theme in the Thessalonian correspondence,
while both letters have important things to say to people in our
own day about Christ, about forgiveness, and about a sanctifying
God who pours out his Spirit. I. Howard Marshall's study of
Philippians brings out especially the understanding of the
theological basis of the Christian life which underlies the letter,
while his discussion of Philemon emphasises how the main theme of
the letter is the relation between the gospel and Christian ethics;
the implications of Paul's teaching on slavery are considered in a
manner which goes much further than the surface of the text might
imply.
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.
This volume is an abridgement of I. Howard Marshall's award-winning
textbook 'New Testament Theology: Many Witnesses, One Gospel', for
students and laypeople. He provides an accessible introduction to
New Testament theology, and an attractive supplement for courses in
New Testament survey.
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.
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.
Apart from the apostle Paul, Luke is arguably the most influential
force in the canon of the New Testament. His Gospel and Acts occupy
almost a third of the New Testament. Marshall provides us with a
lucid guide to Luke's theology of salvation as it is unfurled in
Gospel narrative, but always with an eye on its ongoing development
in his companion work, the Acts of the Apostles.
Few would deny that a person named Jesus lived and died during the
first century of this era. Yet opinions differ widely as to the
reliability of the New Testament record of his life. In I Believe
in the Historical Jesus, Marshall surveys the quest for the
historical Jesus from the 19th century to the present, examines the
methods used to extract historical information from the gospels,
and investigates the role faith plays in a study of the life of
Jesus. The gospel accounts of Jesus are reliable historically, not
merely literary productions impossible to penetrate from an
historical perspective, and Marshall's work is a ringing
affirmation of belief in the historical Jesus. This edition
includes a new epilogue and updated bibliography. I. Howard
Marshall is Emeritus Professor of New Testament Exegesis and
Honorary Research Professor at the University of Aberdeen,
Scotland, where he supervises postgraduate students in their
theological studies. Professor Marshall's area of research has been
Luke-Acts, the Pastoral Epistles and the theology of New Testament
writers.
