7 Books That Rocked the Church, by Daniel Crane, explores controversial books throughout history that the Christian church has famously disavowed--and asks the question, Why?Engagingly written and thoughtfully researched, this book explores what the "fuss" was all about with books ranging in date from the second century after Christ to more contemporary authors. Books by Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilei, and many others profoundly upset the church by calling into question foundational Christian doctrines or beliefs. Most of the books discussed here were banned at some time by Christian authorities.The author's aim is to challenge Christians to respond critically but open-mindedly to books that oppose a Christian worldview. Readers of 7 Books That Rocked the Church will come away better equipped to answer the charge that the church is intolerant of competing ideas. They will also develop the ability to interact with new and possibly dangerous ideas that comport with Jesus' admonition to be wise as serpents but gentle as doves. This book also includes discussion questions for further study.Valentinus the Gnostic: Who Doesn't Love a Conspiracy Theory?

How should Christians address specific problems, controversies, and crises in communication today? By looking at influential Christian thinkers throughout history, we can identify wisdom that enriches us today in practical ways. Words and Witnesses explores various influential Christian thinkers and theologians from across church history in order to expand our contemporary conversations in communication studies and media theory. Individual chapters written by contributing scholars focus on major Christian thinkers, starting with Athanasius, St. Augustine, and John Chrysostom, moving through the Middle Ages to address figures such as Anselm, Nicholas of Cusa, Teresa of Lisieux, and arriving in the present with reflections on the work of John Howard Yoder, C. S. Lewis, Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Kuyper, and Desmond Tutu, among others. Each chapter delves into how the contemporary church, and scholars of media, can turn to these influential Christian thinkers as resources for addressing specific problems in communication today. By analyzing church practices, doctrine, and biblical texts this book provides the church with resources and inspiration to communicate in distinctly Christian ways.

After seminary or graduate school, very few of us can afford the luxury of spending more than a few minutes a day, if that, working on our Biblical Hebrew. Keep Up Your Biblical Hebrew in Two Minutes a Day: Volume 2 is designed to help anyone who has retained at least a basic knowledge of Biblical Hebrew to refresh and deepen their skills and understanding--even in the midst of a busy schedule. Like its predecessor volume, Keep Up Your Biblical Hebrew in Two Minutes a Day: Volume 1, this book does not replace the need for a grammar or textbook; rather, it complements grammatical study by helping you to build a robust vocabulary and to review morphology and syntax in a completely inductive way, and without using any grammatical jargon. While volume 1 helps you review the 365 most common words in the Hebrew Bible, volume 2 focuses on the next most frequently occurring group of 365 words (those that occur between 121 and 50 times in the Hebrew Bible), likewise presenting these words one day at a time in order of descending frequency, and in the context of verses in which they appear. The structure and daily components found in volume 2 are identical to those of volume 1 and thus will be immediately familiar to anyone who has used that book. After working through Keep Up Your Biblical Hebrew in Two Minutes a Day: Volume 1 and the first half of volume 2, you will have seen all the vocabulary you need in order to engage with any verse in the Hebrew Bible with the help of a resource such as Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia: A Reader's Edition. And by the time you finish volume 2, you will have read through 730 verses of the Hebrew Bible in the original!

When it comes to discussions related to the composition and interpretation of the books in the Old Testament, few other books are more contested than Deuteronomy. Even among evangelicals, the differences in thoughts and opinions can be greatly varied. What is found in Sepher Torath Mosheh is a collection of essays on Deuteronomy that take a comprehensive look at its origin, composition, ideology, ethic, and connection to other biblical books. These essays were originally presented at a special colloquium at Wheaton College in the fall of 2015 in hopes of providing a space where evangelicals could discuss these differences and provide a glimpse into the current state of evangelical scholarship in relation to the book of Deuteronomy. This is an excellent resource for graduate students and professors specializing in Hebrew or the Old Testament.

Part of the classic Makers of the Modern Theological Mind series, recently made available again with new paperback cover designs, Stephen Panko's Martin Buber thoroughly examines the life, work and influence of prolific Jewish thinker, author, scholar, literary translator and political activist, Martin Buber.While Buber's writings ranged from Jewish mysticism to social philosophy, biblical studies, religious phenomenology, philosophical anthropology, education, politics and art, probably one of his most well-known writings is the short, but profound book, I and Thou, in which he asserted that we can only become a personal "I" when we treat others, nature, and God as a "Thou" rather than an impersonal "it." Buber's work became widely known in Christian circles and his concept of "I-Thou" relationships was adopted by Christian theologians Karl Barth, Emil Brunner, Rudolf Bultmann, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Friedrich Gogarten among others. Panko's overview of Martin Buber provides a penetrating insight into the many facets of Buber and his work.The Makers of the Modern Theological Mind series remains a must read for anyone eager to understand these theologians and their impact on today's church.

Here are seven of his finest sermons aimed at both the intellect and the emotions. At times Edwards himself would be amazed by his congregation's response. 200 pages, softcover. Hendrickson.

This collection is a fine sampling of Jonathan Edwards s revival sermons during his time in Northampton and Stockbridge, calling for repentance and amendment of life. Each one is a brilliant and personal invitation to know God both through our intellect and through our affections. These are sermons that challenge our minds, but also, and perhaps more importantly, compel us to open our hearts to the sweet love and joy available to us in our life in Christ."

This Bible study explores what the Scriptures have to say about ethics and work. Created in partnership with the Theology of Work Project, it includes Scripture references, thought-provoking questions, and guided prayers.

Hailed as a great gift to the German people, Martin Luther's 1545 Biblia Germanica had a profound impact on Germany's language, literature, and the growth of Protestantism. Over time other German translations appeared, and in the present we see an almost bewildering abundance of new translations, but the Luther Bible launched the progression of the German language. In addition, the Luther text set binding standards for dealing with the biblical word. The text is set in one column, with the exception of the Psalter and the Proverbs of Solomon, which are in two columns. In celebration of the Reformation's 500th anniversary, this replica of the 1545 Biblia Germanica, of which only two originals are left, features Luther's text, notes, and headings, as well as numerous woodcuts based on biblical stories.
