Besides the Bible, John Bunyan preferred Luther's classic commentary on Galatians "before all books I have ever seen." Prized for its penetrating insights into Luther's theology, this volume brings to light the depths of Paul's meaning like no other commentary. Luther's Commentary on Galatians is a timeless exposition of Paul's central thought in Galatians: "The just shall live by faith." All readers will benefit from Luther's doctrinally sound, verse-by-verse exposition. Originally written in Latin, Luther's Commentary on Galatians is here translated into English by Rev. Erasmus Middleton. Martin Luther (1483-1546) left his comfortable upbringing to become a Roman Catholic monk and later a professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg in Saxony. His study and teaching of the Greek text of the New Testament represent the beginnings of modern textual study, and his widely disseminated writings sparked the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Other works by Luther include Commentary on Romans and Commentary on First and Second Peter and Jude.

"No one explains the significance of the Levitical offerings (in relation to Calvary) as well as Jukes does here....Suddenly ...it bursts into life with several superb chapters which are practically essential to the study of Leviticus."- Peter M.Masters, Pastor, Metropolitan Tabernacle"A very condensed, instructive, refreshing book. It will open up new trains of thought to those unversed in the teaching of the types." -Charles H.Spurgeon in "Commenting and Commentaries "

"Moishe Rosen's career as a missionary to the Jewish people and mentor to many has been characterized as cutting edge, creative, controversial, and consequential . . . . His vision for Jewish missions has always been larger than just the organization he founded. Moishe Rosen is an innovator of methods and strategies in Jewish evangelism and an appreciator and empowerer whose gifts have been used to lift the Lord high." -From the Tribute by Susan Perlman In tribute to this influential leader, Jews and the Gospel at the End of History combines the insights of world-class theologians, exegetes, and historians to address Jewish, Messianic Jewish, and Christian issues, from evangelism to ethics to eschatology. Part 1 begins with a study of the biblical emphasis on Jewish evangelism in the Bible, looking at God's concern and love for his people. Part 2 illuminates the historical, philosophical and scriptural interplay between ethics, missions, and biblical law. Part 3 unfolds the plan of God, the end times, and the Second Advent. The trajectory of this book moves from instruction to hope-both enlightening and inspiring those in ministry to Jewish people and serving as a fitting tribute to Moishe Rosen, founder of Jews for Jesus.

Teachers will find the charts to be a valuable teaching resource. This book is an excellent supplement to any general introduction or specific study on Paul.

"If lips and life do not agree, the testimony will not amount to much." The young Harry Ironside knew the truth of his own statement all too well. He began leading a Sunday school class in Los Angeles at age eleven, but stopped when he realized his own need to know God more intimately. Converted at age thirteen, Ironside began to preach shortly thereafter and continued to pursue God's calling for the rest of his life. Ironside not only became a highly sought after preacher and classroom teacher, but his years of dedicated study also produced a series of highly regarded Bible commentaries. The Ironside Expository Commentary series offers concise outlines of the biblical text along with insightful and practical comments that bring out the essential truths of God's Word. This reprint of the Ironside commentaries presents the unabridged text in a newly typeset edition.

Mothers and grandmothers. Students and singles. Stay-at-home moms and working moms. How can your women's ministry become a celebration of the church's uniqueness rather than a conflict of interests?

Seventy-five percent of American churches have an attendance of less than 150, yet they often find themselves in the shadow of a few mega-churches with boundless entrepreneurial skills and ministry resources. When the pastors of the typically-sized church attend church growth and leadership conferences, they can easily come away discouraged, disillusioned, and finding little help to impact their ministries. Glenn Daman is an experienced small church pastor and ministry director who knows that effectiveness is not determined by numbers, programs, and buildings. Instead it is defined by faithful service that results in transformed lives--one person at a time. He offers several keys to effective church ministry--no matter the number of members--including: Understanding the cultures of the community and the church Developing a theological foundation Learning to love God and love others Developing a mission of reaching, teaching, and recruiting Uniting the Body through vision Designed for pastors and lay leadership to work through together, Shepherding the Small Church includes chapter-by-chapter suggestions for implementation as well as several appendices of helpful assessment tools. It is an indispensable source of advice and encouragement for the pastor of the majority of American churches. Glenn Daman (D.Min., Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; M.A. in New Testament Studies and M.A. in Old Testament Studies, Western Seminary) serves as Director for Small Church Health, Western Seminary. He also ministers as senior pastor of Cascade Locks Community Church in Cascade Locks, Oregon, and First Baptist Church in Stevenson, Washington.

"We must rid ourselves of the notion that faith and learning are somehow opposites or enemies. Faith and learning are interwoven with each other for the full functioning of the human mind." Foundations of Christian Thought is a clear, even-handed presentation of the interconnection between faith and learning, and the modern worldviews competing for our attention, including naturalism, secular humanism, atheistic existentialism, pantheism, and the New Age movement. Guided by the author's fresh approach, readers on the college campus, in the workforce, and elsewhere will learn to relate their faith to their own intellectual journey and the ideas they encounter along the way. "Mark Cosgrove has accomplished the difficult task of making the issues of worldview and faith integration with academic disciples accessible to the non-expert. . . . Highly useful as an introduction to these issues." --Harry Lee Poe Charles Colson Professor of Faith and Culture, Union University "Mark Cosgrove refuses to dodge the hard questions and presents the Christian worldview with honesty and humility. I strongly recommend Foundations of Christian Thought as well tested and effective." --Jay Kesler President Emeritus, Taylor University "As a consummate teacher, using more leisurely language and current examples, Mark Cosgrove leads the reader--as if in a classroom--to ask the questions that compel a carefully reasoned response." --D. Bruce Lockerbie Chairman, PAIDEIA, Inc., Stony Brook, NY Author, Thinking and Acting Like a Christian "Foundations of Christian Thought offers a completely new and fresh approach to exploring and engaging the inescapable commingling of faith, learning, and worldview. [It] takes the reader on an intellectual expedition." --Richard C. Chewning Emeritus Professor of Christian Ethics, Baylor University Mark P. Cosgrove (Ph.D., Purdue University) is a professor and chairman of the psychology department at Taylor University and the author of several books. He has taught the subject of Foundations of Christian Thought for more than thirty years.

A well-rounded and practical approach to the issues and crisis faced by pastors everyday

A philosophical foundation may be the last thing that parents think about in the middle of the day-to-day commotion of childrearing. But, Michael Austin writes, a philosophical understanding of parenting is not only vital, it's also practical. In this insightful resource, Austin argues that wise parents should view themselves as stewards of their children, and with this mindset they can gain a new understanding of the family. Wise Stewards combines biblical, theological, and philosophical reflection to construct an everyday ethic and practice of parenthood that is distinctly Christian. Addressing practical concerns such as how family members should relate to one another, how they should conceive of their roles, and how they should carry out their tasks, Austin helps parents apply these core ideas to their daily lives. Filling a noticeable gap in parenting literature, Wise Stewards brings the methods and insights of Christian philosophy to bear on the family in a way that is accessible, theoretically sound, and intensely practical.
