God clearly had his hand on Frank Rempel from his humble beginnings
in rural Saskatchewan, developing within him the character
qualities he would need later in life to persevere through the
challenges that would come. He gave him a creative mind, the
ability to translate ideas into reality, seemingly boundless
energy, and a willingness to step out and try new things that
others would shy away from. God has done more than just hone
Frank's skills and form his character over the nearly nine decades
of his life. He began a process of utterly transforming him when
Frank surrendered the control of his life to God. What follows can
only be described as a remarkable series of adventures as Frank and
his wife, Helen, followed the Lord's leading through a number of
opportunities, calamities, and successes, each of which inevitably
brought blessing from the Lord. In human terms, Frank is a wealthy
man; but his greatest riches are stored up in heaven, where he has
consistently placed his greatest investments, for from early on
Frank and Helen made it their ambition to use every opportunity to
be about their Heavenly Father's business. About the Author: Frank
Rempel has been a cowboy, hobo, sawyer, inventor, car salesman,
cookware salesman, owner of a general store, board member of a
Christian college, and Christian Service Brigade leader, among many
other things. He founded Rem Manufacturing in 1966 with his wife,
Helen, and served as its president until he retired in 2012. Frank
and Helen have five adult children, ten grandchildren, and five
great-grandchildren. Martin Culy has served as a missionary, Bible
translator, seminary professor, and pastor. He is the author of six
books and numerous articles and the editor of the Baylor Handbook
on the Greek New Testament series. Marty and his wife, Jo-Anna,
have three adult children. They currently live in British Columbia,
where he serves at Willingdon Church as pastor of leadership
development and directs the Willingdon School of the Bible.
Friendship in the Graeco-Roman world took a wide variety of forms,
with some 'friendships' involving nothing more than a political
alliance or patron-client relationship and others involving deep
personal intimacy. When Jesus says his disciples are to be called
'friends', what type of friendship does he have in mind?Friendship
may seem a relatively insignificant motif in the Gospel of John,
since the author does not explicitly set out to provide a
philosophical discourse on the nature of friendship, nor does he
explicitly state that the narrative is about friendship. In this
study, however, Culy, having carefully examined Graeco-Roman
literature on friendship, demonstrates that the language of what he
calls 'ideal friendship' actually pervades the Fourth Gospel from
beginning to end and serves as a primary vehicle for characterizing
the relationships that are introduced in the Prologue and fleshed
out throughout the course of the narrative.Taking up the friendship
motif as a tool of characterization, the Gospel of John points to a
striking implication of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus:
that followers of Jesus are invited to enjoy a level of intimacy
with him that can actually, and perhaps only, be compared to the
level of intimacy that he enjoys with the Father. The Johannine
Jesus, then, came not just to save the world but also to offer
those who would follow him a relationship that Graeco-Roman
philosophers only dreamed of, a relationship where all the
ingredients of ideal friendship were present.
In Acts 1-14: A Handbook on the Greek Text, Martin Culy, Mikeal
Parsons, and Josiah Hall provide a foundational examination of the
Greek text of Acts. The analysis is distinguished by the detailed
yet comprehensive attention paid to the text. The authors'
exposition is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that
explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance
for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important
text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the
Greek text that are frequently overlooked or ignored by standard
commentaries. Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic
key, Acts also reflects the most up-to-date advances in scholarship
on Greek grammar and linguistics. This handbook proves itself an
indispensable tool for anyone committed to a deep reading of the
biblical text. This revised and expanded handbook on the Greek text
of Acts, unlike its predecessor, includes comments on the grammar
and syntax of every word in the text and incorporates insights from
the Editio Critica Maior, now the standard critical Greek text for
the Acts of the Apostles.

This new volume in the popular handbook series provides students
with a comprehensive guide through the Greek text of the Gospel of
Luke. Together Culy, Parsons, and Stigall explain the text's
critical, lexical, grammatical, and linguistic aspects while
revealing its carefully crafted narrative style. In all, they show
the author of Luke to be a master communicator, well at home within
the Greek biographical tradition.
In this volume Culy provides a basic lexical, analytical and
syntactical analysis of the Greek text of 1, 2, and 3
John-information often presumed by technical commentaries and
omitted by popular ones. But more than just an analytic key, "I,
II, III John" reflects the latest advances in scholarship on Greek
grammar and linguistics. The volume also contains recommendations
for further reading and an up-to-date bibliography. A perfect
supplement to any commentary, "I, II, and III John" is as equally
helpful to language students, of any level, as it is to busy clergy
who use the Greek text in preparation for proclamation.
