One of the keys to effectively preaching and teaching God's Word is
a deep understanding of the meaning of biblical words in the
original Hebrew and Greek. As the building blocks of language,
words are the means we use to communicate with one another, and
they're also the means God has chosen for communicating with us,
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
you're a pastor, a seminary student, or a lay student of the Bible,
this expository dictionary offers a wealth of information about the
original Hebrew and Greek words of Scripture.

Testament and need help in choosing the best tools.

With Proverbs, veteran Old Testament scholar Tremper Longman III
offers an accessible commentary on one of Scripture's most
frequently quoted and visited books. With his deft exegetical and
expositional skill, the resulting work is full of fresh insight
into the meaning of the text. In addition to the helpful
translation and commentary, Proverbs considers theological
implications of these wisdom texts, as well as their literary,
historical, and grammatical dimensions. Footnotes deal with many of
the technical matters, allowing readers of varying interest and
training levels to read and profit from the commentary and to
engage the biblical text at an appropriate level. This built-in
versatility has application for both pastors and teachers. This is
the second volume in the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament
Wisdom and Psalms series.
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.
For many people, skeptics and believers alike, the Old Testament is
rife with controversial passages and events that make both belief
and sharing our beliefs with others difficult. Often our solutions
have tended toward the extremes--ignore problem passages and
pretend they don't matter or obsess over them and treat them as
though they are the only thing that matters. Now with clarity of
purpose and fidelity to the message and spirit of Scripture as a
whole, Tremper Longman confronts pressing questions of concern to
modern audiences, particularly young people in the church: - the
creation/evolution debate - God-ordained violence - the historicity
of people, places, and events - human sexuality Pastors, leaders in
the church, and thoughtful and troubled Christians in the pews will
find here a well-reasoned and faithful approach to dealing with the
Old Testament passages so many find challenging or disconcerting.
