THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE BELOVED DISCIPLE: A Textbook for the Gospel of John
This Book is primarily meant as a textbook for students of scripture. But licentiate or master’s degree students or even doctorate level students may find some interesting materials in it. We have approached the text of the Fourth Gospel from the viewpoint of narrative criticism and rhetorical method. But the findings of historical critical approach are not at all sidelined, but made use of. Hebrew and Greek terms are given in their English transliterated form for the sake of the lay reader of the text. Discussions on the structure and purpose of the Fourth Gospel are given in detail. This revised edition has a new name, The Gospel according to the Beloved Disciple, instead of the previous title, Reading the Fourth Gospel. The reason for this change will be known in the course of reading this book. But, we will be using the title the Fourth Gospel all throughout our discussion.
The Gospel And The Newspaper: Theological Queries Digging The Indian Quarry
George Gispert-Sauch has been engaged in creative theological writing for the last fifty years. The articles included in this book witness to his passion for exploring an Indian Christian theological hermeneutics …. There is something refreshing in his theological methodology. In exploring the theological quarry he has in one hand the Indian Scriptural resources and in the other the Gospel of Jesus. But in his heart he bears the Indian reality symbolized in the “Newspaper.” In his theology there is therefore a creative dialectic between the rich spiritual heritage of India and the liberating message of Jesus, as well as a concern for the harmony and welfare (yoga-kshema) of the people today. This becomes evident in the articles collected in this volume.
The Gospel of John: For Pastors and Teachers
Each of the 54 units in the commentary can be used as the basis for a sermon. Applying the lesson of the text to the daily lives of both the pastor and the congregation is at the heart of Dr. Ngewa’s exposition – each unit ends with practical questions that can be discussed in Bible study groups. These questions reflect many aspects of daily life in Africa or elsewhere in the majority world.
The Grace and Truth Paradox: Responding with Christlike Balance (LifeChange Books) Hardcover
Christians trying to model their lives after Jesus may find that He gets buried under lists, rules, and formulas. Now bestselling author Randy Alcorn offers a simple two-point checklist for Christlikeness based on John 1:14. The test consists of balancing grace and truth, equally and unapologetically. Grace without truth deceives people, and ceases to be grace. Truth without grace crushes people, and ceases to be truth. Alcorn shows the reader how to show the world Jesus — offering grace instead of the world’s apathy and tolerance, offering truth instead of the world’s relativism and deception.

The Hidden Tradition of the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God has been a major concern of New Testament scholars for many years. What did it mean to Jesus? What does it mean for Christian belief and practice today? To understand what was meant by the Kingdom of God’ writes Margaret Barker in the Introduction, it is necessary to recover what remains of that hidden tradition of the holy of holies and the high priesthood… Recovering the original Kingdom . . . enables us to glimpse again the original vision. We see . . . the complexities of the Kingdom that explain what it became in later Christian teaching. The Hidden Tradition of the Kingdom of God shows how the variety of beliefs about the Kingdom, and the related problems of eshatology, all derive from Temple traditions about the holy of holies. This inner sanctum was the Kingdom in the midst, the Unity beyond all change and decay. It was the state whence the Lord came forth, and where the faithful would go, to see him in his glory. We live in a time when politics, and also geopolitics, are enormously affected by passionate arguements over ehat it would mean to establish the “Kingdom of God” on earth. Anybody with an interest in the outcome of those arguements should pay close attention to Margaret Barker’s insightful and thought-provoking investigation of the background and context in which the first Christians spoke of the Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit
Wherever Christianity has been a living power, the doctrine of the Holy Spirit has uniformly been regarded, equally with the Atonement and Justification by faith, as the article of a standing or falling church. The distinctive feature of Christianity as it addresses itself to man’s experience, is the work of the Spirit, which not only elevates it far above all philosophical speculation, but also above every other form of religion. That the Holy Spirit is to be publicly owned and equally honored with the Father and the Son is very evident from the terms of the great commission, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

The Life of David As Reflected in His Psalms
What a many-colored career that was which began amidst the pastoral solitudes of Bethlehem, and ended in the chamber where the dying ears heard the blare of the trumpets that announced the accession of Bathsheba’s son! None of the great men of scripture pass through a course of so many changes as David; none of them touched human life at so many points; none of them were so tempered and polished by swift alternation of heat and cold, by such heavy blows and the friction of such rapid revolutions. These quick transitions of fortune, and this wide experience, are the many-colored threads from which the rich web of his psalms is woven.
