Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Augusta Travers has spent the last three years avoiding the stifling expectations of New York society and her family's constant disappointment. As the nation's most fearless--and reviled--columnist, Gussie travels the country with her Kodak camera and spins stories for women unable to leave hearth and home. But when her adventurous nature lands her in the middle of a scandal, an opportunity to leave America offers the perfect escape. Arriving in India, she expects only a nice visit with childhood friends, siblings Catherine and Gabriel, and escapades that will further her career. Instead, she finds herself facing a plague epidemic, confusion over Gabriel's sudden appeal, and the realization that what she wants from life is changing. But slowing down means facing all the hurts of her past that she's long been trying to outrun. And that may be an undertaking too great even for her.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How Does Christ's Obedience Relate to Our Salvation This book explains how we are saved by Christ's perfect obedience, which has implications for understanding the gospel message, Christian hope, and discipleship.'In the extensive debates over justification that have captured a great deal of attention in the last quarter century, relatively little space has been allotted to the role of Jesus's obedience. That lacuna has now been admirably filled by Crowe. The combination of his careful exegesis and his knowledge of earlier Reformed debates makes him an admirable guide across terrain that should not be bypassed.'--D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (emeritus)'With profound biblical and theological insight, Crowe teaches us that we not only need our sins forgiven but also need the spotless righteousness of our Savior. Here is a book that is not only accessible but timely: in a day when imputation is often rejected, Crowe reveals just how critical Christ's entire life is to our union with Christ.'--Matthew Barrett, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; host of the Credo Podcast'Some think the imputation of Christ's righteousness is abstract and separated from our everyday lives. Crowe shows that the doctrine is woven into the warp and woof of biblical teaching, and that knowing and cherishing this truth is vital for spiritual life. This is an ideal resource both for young believers and for those who have known the good news for years. I hope and pray for a wide reading of this profound book.'--Thomas R. Schreiner, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary'In an accessible survey of biblical passages that reflects careful and insightful handling of Scripture and that converses with some of the best theological minds of the church, Crowe helps us to see that the obedience of Christ is truly good news for sinners. This book will benefit both nonspecialists and scholars as it brings to light an often-neglected but vital line of the New Testament's testimony to Christ.'--Guy Prentiss Waters, Reformed Theological Seminary.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An Introduction to Two Important Topics in Greek GrammarThis volume examines two features of the Greek verb--voice and mood--in light of modern linguistics and offers fresh insights.'It's difficult to write a grammar that both is accessible for students in the classroom and makes a genuine advancement in the linguistic study of biblical Greek. Mathewson nevertheless has written a superb textbook on Greek voice and mood that accomplishes these tasks. Voice and Mood brings the reader up to speed on the latest developments in the active, middle, and passive voices and offers a working model for voice as a function of agency and causality. The result is a welcome debut volume in a new series on the essentials of biblical Greek grammar. It offers a simpler taxonomy of semantic categories for voice and mood, replete with examples, and explains why traditional classifications like deponency should be jettisoned. Students and biblical interpreters alike will appreciate the numerous exegetical insights that can be gleaned from a study of voice and mood. I'll be using this textbook for my own Greek language and exegesis courses.'--Max J. Lee, North Park Theological Seminary'Until a little over a century ago, the value of a book was directly related to how old (how tried and true) its wisdom was. Now, unless people stress how new a book's contents are, prospective buyers will ask, Why bother In the field of the role of verbs in the Greek grammar of the New Testament, there is definitely an old and a new wisdom. Mathewson judiciously blends the best of each and produces a remarkably user-friendly synthesis of the two. An excellent inaugural volume for this new series, which may just establish itself as tried and true as well!'--Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary'This is an excellent treatment of Greek voice and mood that strikes a useful balance. On the one hand, it is more informative than Greek grammars regarding these relatively neglected topics. On the other hand, it is more accessible and broadly conceived than typical academic monographs. Interested students will benefit greatly from Mathewson's linguistic approach to these two important topics for the study of Greek.'--Constantine R. Campbell, author of Advances in the Study of Greek: New Insights for Reading the New Testament.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Outreach 2022 Resource of the Year (Apologetics)2021 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Evangelism & Apologetics)Christianity Today 2022 Book Award Finalist (Apologetics & Evangelism)Southwestern Journal of Theology 2021 Book Award (Honorable Mention, Christian Worldview/Apologetics)It has never been more important to articulate the wonder and enchantment of the Christian message. Yet the traditional approaches of apologetics are often outmoded in an age of profound disenchantment and distraction, unable to meet this pressing need.This winsome apologetics book for a new generation makes the case that Christianity offers a compelling explanatory framework for making sense of our world. Pastor and writer Gavin Ortlund believes it is essential to appeal not only to the mind but also to the heart and the imagination as we articulate the beauty of the gospel.Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn't reimagines four classical theistic arguments--cosmological, teleological, moral, and Christological--making a cumulative case for God as the best framework for understanding the storied nature of reality. The book suggests that Christian theism can explain such things as the elegance of math, the beauty of music, and the value of love. It is suitable for use in classes yet accessibly written, making it a perfect resource for churches and small groups.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible for the church. The series editor is Stephen B. Chapman.'The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want . . .' There are few biblical texts more familiar to Christians than Psalm 23. This volume helps readers understand the power and vision of this psalm by offering a close word-by-word and phrase-by-phrase reading.'Briggs offers a fresh study of this beloved and familiar psalm, but even more, he uses it as a key to open the gate into the vast garden of biblical interpretation, which has been much tended from ancient times to the present. He is the best kind of guide; his deep and wide knowledge, engaging style, and genuine faith are both eye-opening and edifying for readers who share his interest, even if they do not share his expertise.'--Ellen Davis, Duke Divinity School'A whole book on one little psalm But this is no ordinary psalm, and Briggs is no ordinary interpreter. He writes thoughtfully, he is always interesting, he reads widely, and he manages to share the fruit of his reading without letting it get in the way. He is a fine match for this short, profound, provocative psalm. Anyone who reads this book will learn a lot about Psalm 23 and will be driven to think a lot about interpretation.'--John Goldingay, Fuller Theological Seminary'Many of us have loved Psalm 23 for more years than we can remember. This small volume not only surveys the land of biblical scholarship, mining for treasure, but allows the psalm to sing us a song for today. Gently calling us back to a rich vision of biblical preaching, which is sometimes clouded in today's church, the author's exploration of the world behind, within, and in front of the text enriches our understanding and quenches our thirst for the one whose goodness and mercy pursue us all our days. Overfamiliarity can threaten our reception of such texts. I wholeheartedly commend this book to any individual or small group seeking to deepen their appreciation for this psalm. It provides fresh resources for our pilgrimage, whatever the stage of our journey.'--Sophie Jelley, Bishop of Doncaster.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It is traditional to think we should praise Abraham for his willingness to sacrifice his son as proof of his love for God. But have we misread the point of the story Is it possible that a careful reading of Genesis 22 could reveal that God was not pleased with Abraham's silent obedience Widely respected biblical theologian, creative thinker, and public speaker J. Richard Middleton suggests we have misread and misapplied the story of the binding of Isaac and shows that God desires something other than silent obedience in difficult times. Middleton focuses on the ethical and theological problem of Abraham's silence and explores the rich biblical tradition of vigorous prayer, including the lament psalms, as a resource for faith. Middleton also examines the book of Job in terms of God validating Job's lament as 'right speech,' showing how the vocal Job provides an alternative to the silent Abraham.This book provides a fresh interpretation of Genesis 22 and reinforces the church's resurgent interest in lament as an appropriate response to God.
