where she gets to pretend she’s free. But when Isabel’s day job
tangles her up with an anti-guild abolitionist movement, it becomes
harder to keep her two lives separate. Forced to choose between her
loyalty to her friends and her loyalty to Comma, she finds herself
with enemies on all sides, particularly those from the rival guild
Hummingbird, putting herself and Laura at risk. Can Isabel ever

Many Christians are torn between their belief in the Bible and the
conclusions of science. This is especially the case concerning the
creation narratives of Scripture and the rather different stories
that science tells. Physicist Richard Carlson and biblical scholar
Tremper Longman address the longstanding problem of how to relate
scientific description of the beginnings of the universe with the
biblical creation passages found in Genesis chapters 1 and 2.
Experts in their respective fields, these two authors provide a way
to resolve the seeming conflicting descriptions by showing the
meaning of the biblical texts as well as the meaning of scientific
description. In the process they will uncover how theology and
science differ, and what they both contribute what the key biblical
passages actually say how the ancient Hebrews themselves understood
the meaning of Genesis 1--2 how the rest of Scripture helps us
understand these passages what we can gain from science and what
its limits are Properly interpreting the biblical texts and clearly
identifying the nature of scientific claims are key. With those in
hand we can see how Christian revelation and scientific findings
about the origin of the universe are not in opposition but rather
work in partnership with each other.

his people. To enrich your preaching, teaching, and personal study
of God's Word, this clear, accurate, and easy-to-use dictionary
offers the most up-to-date evangelical biblical scholarship as well
as fascinating, detailed explanations of biblical words. Whether

A quick, on-the-ground guide to the Old Testament of the Bible.
This rich and practical handbook-an abridged edition of the
bestselling book An Introduction to the Old Testament-makes Old
Testament scholarship accessible to the everyday reader. Renowned
Bible scholar Tremper Longman III gathers the best in historical
research and literary analysis to lead you through each book of the
Old Testament-from Genesis to Malachi. Most significantly, Longman
explores the meaning of each book in light of its cultural setting.
Features include: A chapter on each book of the Old Testament with
orientating data on what that book is about, key points to
understand, when and why it was written, and references to key
passages. A section in each chapter about how that book of the
Bible anticipates the Gospel. End-of-chapter questions for group
discussion or personal reflection. A bibliography of further
resources. Introducing the Old Testament makes the words, history,
and culture of biblical times come alive for readers. Laypersons as
well as church leaders will gain a solid understanding of the
historical background and theological message of the Old Testament
and be inspired to apply biblical truths to their lives.
An upper-level introduction to the Old Testament that offers
students a thorough understanding of three key issues: historical
background, literary analysis, and theological message. This second
edition of An Introduction to the Old Testament integrates recent
developments in Old Testament scholarship. It has many distinctive
features that set it apart from other introductions to the Old
Testament: It's committed to a theologically evangelical
perspective. Emphasizes "special introduction"-the study of
individual books. Interacts in an irenic spirit with the
historical-critical method. Features points of research history and
representative scholars rather than an exhaustive treatment of past
scholarship. Deals with the meaning of each book, not in isolation
but in a canonical context. Probes the meaning of each book in the
setting of its culture. Including callouts, charts, and graphs, An
Introduction to the Old Testament is written with an eye to
understanding the nature of Old Testament historiography. Perfect
for seminary students, professors, and Bible teachers and ministry
leaders, as well as anyone looking for an in-depth and balanced
approach to Old Testament study.
The book of Psalms is the heart of the Old Testament, the libretto
of the most vibrant worship imaginable. It informs our intellect,
stimulates our imagination, arouses our emotions and stirs us to
holy thoughts and actions. It is also a pivotal witness to, and
anticipation of, Jesus Christ. Tremper Longman's commentary
interprets each psalm in its Old Testament setting, summarizes its
message and reflects on its significance from a New Testament
perspective, noting any citation and also providing a
Christological reading.

The authors of the New Testament regularly quote and allude to Old
Testament passages that point to the presence, person, and work of
Jesus. Jesus himself claimed that Moses wrote about him (John
5:46). And on the road to Emmaus, Jesus instructed the disciples
from "Moses and all the prophets" regarding himself (Luke 24:27).
Though Christians affirm that the Old Testament bears witness to
Christ, how the Old Testament writers did this is a matter of
extensive debate. Furthermore, Christian biblical scholars also
debate the degree to which contemporary interpreters of the Bible
can follow the hermeneutics of the New Testament authors in using
the Old Testament to point to the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Five Views on Christ in the Old Testament is the first book to
bring together in conversation the major views on how the Old
Testament points to Christ. Contributors and views include: The
First Testament Priority View (John Goldingay) The Christotelic
View (Tremper Longman III) The Redemptive-Historical Christocentric
View (Jason DeRouchie) The Reception-Centered Intertextual View
(Havilah Dharamraj) The Premodern View (Craig Carter) Each
contributor presents their preferred methodology, showing readers
how their interpretive approach best explains the biblical data.
Additionally, authors provide case studies of various Old Testament
passages that equip readers to better compare the strengths and
weaknesses of each of author's approaches. This essential resource
will help readers learn practical steps to help them read the Old
Testament more faithfully as it testifies to Jesus the Messiah.
This volume explores a variety of 'harmful cultural practices': a
term increasingly employed by organizations working within a human
rights framework to refer to certain discriminatory practices
against women in the global South. Drawing on recent work by
feminists across the social sciences, as well as activists from
around the world, this volume discusses and presents research on
practices such as veiling, forced marriage, honour related and
dowry violence, female genital 'mutilation', lip plates and sex
segregation in public space. With attention to the analytic utility
of the notion of harmful cultural practices, this volume explores
questions surrounding the contribution of feminist thought to
international and NGO policies on such practices, whether western
beauty practices should be analysed in similar terms, or should the
notion as such from an anthropological perspective be rejected, how
harmful cultural practices relate to processes of culturalization,
religionization and secularization, and how they can be challenged,
come to transform and disappear. Presenting concrete, empirical
case studies from Africa, South East Asia, Europe and the UK
Interrogating Harmful Cultural Practices will be of interest to
scholars of sociology, anthropology, development and law with
interests in gender, the body, violence and women's agency.
Choosing Success focuses on how good decision-making skills
determine success in all aspects of life. From study skills to
money management, Choosing Success applies active and service
learning techniques as well as the 5C decision-making model to
prepare students for success.By incorporating a decision-making
focus into every chapter, Choosing Success emphasizes
accountability and conveys to students how important they are in
their own success. Students do not merely become successful, but
rather they choose to be successful. Choice starts with the
decision to acquire a secondary education, and from then on
everything students do is based on their decision-making skills.
The more they practice good decision making, the more control they
have over their successes and failures. Choosing Success is unique
in that it provides students with a process for decision making as
well as numerous opportunities to think through the choices and
decisions they face as a college student-and beyond.
Superior illustrations and activities to improve results and motivate learners.
We live in a sexually mad world where God's gift of sex has been
distorted through pornography, promiscuity, prostitution, abuse,
trafficking, and rape. The church's position on sexual matters has
been made clear throughout history: all sexual activity outside the
boundaries of Christian marriage is sin. But rarely has the church
honestly addressed the true needs of Christians who are struggling
with sexual desires they believe to be counter to the Bible. So we
hide our struggles and pretend to live above the erotic fray, or
else we cozy up to the culture's redefinition of which sins are
acceptable. But what does the Bible really say about sexual desire
and sexual intimacy?
"
God Loves Sex "offers a truly liberating, godly view of holy
sensuality by recovering the clear meaning of the Song of Songs as
God-sanctioned eroticism. Then it uses that lens to answer
questions posed by a fictional new Christian struggling with
expectations of sexual purity. It asks provocative questions, such
as "What does it mean to be both holy and filled with rich sexual
desire?" and "How can our sexual struggles take us deeper into the
purposes of God?
"
Pairing psychological insight with sound biblical scholarship,
Allender and Longman bring it all out into the open, allowing
Christians of any age and any marital status to discover sex the
way God meant it to be.
