How should we read the book of Revelation?
Interpreting Scripture faithfully is a challenge with regard to any text and for any reader of the Bible. But perhaps no text confronts and confuses readers as much as the book of Revelation. With its vivid imagery and rich prophetic language, John's Apocalypse provokes and stirs our imaginations. Some have viewed it primarily as a first-century anti-imperial document. Others have read it as a book of prophecies or eschatological promises. Still others wonder why it is in the biblical canon at all.
Theologian and biblical scholar Brandon Smith brings clarity to this question by reading the book of Revelation primarily as John's vision of the triune God. In conversation with early church theologians, including Irenaeus, Origen, Athanasius, and the Cappadocians, as well as modern biblical scholarship, Smith shows how John's vision can help us worship the one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, edited by Daniel J. Treier and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, promotes evangelical contributions to systematic theology, seeking fresh understanding of Christian doctrine through creatively faithful engagement with Scripture in dialogue with church tradition.

Where Is Boasting?: Early Jewish Soteriology and Paul's Response in Romans 1-5 (POD)
No votes yet
$43.99
This important work challenges the validity of the "New Perspective" on Paul and Judaism. Working with new data fom Jewish literature and a fresh reading of Romans 1-5, Simon Gathercole produces a far-reaching criticism of the current approach to Paul and points a new way forward. Building on a detailed examination of the past generation of scholarship on Paul and early Judaism, Gathercole's work follows two paths. First, he shows that while early Judaism was not truly oriented around legalistic works-righteousness, it did consider obedience to the Law to be an important criterion at the final judgment. On the basis of this reconstruction of Jewish thought and a rereading of Romans 1-5, Gathercole advances his main argument - that Paul did indeed combat a Jewish perspective that saw obedience to the Law both as possible and as a criterion for vindication at the final judgment. Paul's reply is that obedience to the Law is not a criterion for the final judgment because human nature makes obedience to the Law impossible. His doctrine of justification can therefore be properly viewed in its Jewish context, yet anthropological issues also take center stage.

Reformation 21's End of Year Review of Books
Preaching's Survey of Bibles and Bible Reference
"Who shall ascend the mountain of the LORD?" - Psalm 24:3
In many ways, this is the fundamental question of Old Testament Israel's cult-and, indeed, of life itself. How can creatures made from dust become members of God's household "forever"?
The question of ascending God's mountain to his house was likely recited by pilgrims approaching the temple on Mount Zion during the annual festivals. This entrance liturgy runs as an undercurrent throughout the Pentateuch and is at the heart of its central book, Leviticus. Its dominating concern, as well as that of the rest of the Bible, is the way in which humanity may come to dwell with God. Israel's deepest hope was not merely a liturgical question, but a historical quest.
Under the Mosaic covenant, the way opened up by God was through the Levitical cult of the tabernacle and later temple, its priesthood and rituals. The advent of Christ would open up a new and living way into the house of God-indeed, that was the goal of his taking our humanity upon himself, his suffering, his resurrection and ascension.
In this stimulating volume in the New Studies in Biblical Theology, Michael Morales explores the narrative context, literary structure and theology of Leviticus through:

Wrestling with God: Understanding Difficult Old Testament Passages
No votes yet
$19.99
The Old Testament has a reputation for being confusing, outdated, or irrelevant. Modern readers have lots of uncomfortable questions: Was the universe really created in six days? Do Christians have to follow Israelite laws? Does God change His mind?
Wrestling with God encourages Christians to tackle these difficult topics and more to get a clearer picture of who God really is. The Rev. Dr. R. Reed Lessing and the Rev. Dr. Andrew E. Steinmann explore ten topics including Creation, laws, and prophecy and help readers embrace--rather than dismiss--the Old Testament.
Modern Christians are separated from the Old Testament by time, culture, and language. Lessing and Steinmann bridge these gaps and study things like the sexual laws in Leviticus 18, God's mandates for violence against the Canaanites in the book of Joshua, and the true meaning of prophecies in Ezekiel 37-48. Amid it all, the authors point the reader to Jesus, the promised Savior and "most complete revelation of God."
The Bible study's conversational writing style and chapter discussion questions are perfect for individual or group use.
