What was the apostle Paul's relationship to Judaism? How did he view the Jewish law? How did he understand the gospel of Jesus's messiahship relative to both ethnic Jews and gentiles? These remain perennial questions both to New Testament scholars and to all serious Bible readers. Respected New Testament scholar Matthew Thiessen offers an important contribution to this discussion. A Jewish Paul is an accessible introduction that situates Paul clearly within first-century Judaism, not opposed to it.

When it comes to religion—and more specifically, Christianity—”God” is a divisive issue. Either you’re a believer who loves him, or an atheist (or other spiritual believer) who denounces his existence and hates him. Who is right? Which side got it correct? Is there even a right answer, or does that become a philosophical question of what “faith” truly is? In Dr. DuWayne A. Carlson’s new book Atheistic Christianity, the topic of “God” transcends conventional belief systems as the author encourages listeners to cultivate a different view.

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among men in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God. The Logos, resisted and rejected as reason, as general revelation, and as special (redemptive) revelation, comes once more to man and is crucified. He came to accomplish redemption and now rules to apply redemption. Jesus came as Messiah, full of grace and truth. It is by His life and death that this grace and truth come.

For many Christians, the book of Revelation inspires confusion and fear. It's seen as a coded screenplay for the end times, or it's just too strange to understand. The problem, Dean Flemming contends, is that when we read Revelation as focused on the future, we miss what it says about what God is doing in the world now. Revelation is one of the richest texts in Scripture for understanding both God's mission to make everything new and how the church is caught up in that mission.

What do we do with a God who sanctions violence? Old Testament violence proves one of the most troubling topics in the Bible. Too often, the explanations for the brutality in Scripture fail to adequately illustrate why God would sanction such horrors on humanity. These unanswered questions leave readers frustrated and confused, leading some to even walk away from their faith.

This book will illuminate 17 of these golden nuggets. By putting on new bifocals, you will discover that... • Mother Mary was far greater than you may have previously realized. • Jesus’ future return will be far more recognizable than we have expected.

The Prophet’s Dictionary by Paula Price is an essential tool for laymen, prophesiers, pastors, intercessors, and dreamers of dreams.

Eschatology, the study of the "end times" or humanity’s ultimate destiny, has captivated the minds of believers across centuries and faith traditions. Rooted in the desire to understand the culmination of history and the fulfillment of divine promises, eschatology provides profound insights into the purpose of life and the hope for what lies beyond. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, three of the world’s most prominent monotheistic religions, each embrace eschatological frameworks that reflect their distinct theological foundations.

The letters of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus were written by Paul to trusted coworkers toward the end of his apostolic ministry. As Paul’s delegates, they were to teach and defend the truth, model godly living, and ensure that godly church leadership was in place. But these letters are more than just a how-to guide for ministry.

The concept of Kingdom advancement and dominion lies at the heart of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, serving as a framework for understanding divine authority, human responsibility, and the unfolding of history. While these monotheistic faiths share a belief in God's sovereignty and the ultimate establishment of divine rule, their interpretations of what it means to advance this Kingdom and exercise dominion vary significantly.

Hoping in the LORD (Vol. 3 of General Counsel Series) draws upon high points of the Bible—from Matthew to John–to teach us how Jesus carries us to the Promised Land.

Prominent recent studies elevate the themes of "Christoformity" and "Cruciformity" in Paul, but few sufficiently account for how a believer is actually transformed into the image of Christ. Pneumaformity fills the gap in Pauline studies by surveying Paul's letters for teachings on the Spirit's agency in the life of God' people. This study aptly demonstrates that the Holy Spirit is the instrument through whom such radical living is possible.

God has provided salvation, but when does it begin? What is required of us? Can we lose it? These and other disputed questions have divided Christians for centuries. Matthew W. Bates has already shown that the gospel is about King Jesus and that faith includes allegiance. In Beyond the Salvation Wars, he unpacks additional truths from the Bible and the early church to describe how salvation happens.
