New Releases for March 2009
1 & 2 Samuel (AOTC)
In this excellent commentary, David G. Firth takes seriously the narrative techniques employed in the books of Samuel and explores the central theme of how the reign of God is worked out in the interplay between king and prophet.
God's Big Picture (new, larger format)
The Bible: many books, one book. God's Big Picture adopts the kingdom of God as a unifying theme and examines it under the headings: perished, promised, partial, prophesied, present, proclaimed and perfected. A book which simplifies and makes total sense of a complicated subject.
Hebrews (TNTC)
Many aspects of the letter to the Hebrews are a mystery, but its power and authority as a treatise on Jesus Christ are clear. Donald Guthrie situates its message where New Testament study meets the reality of the Christian life.
John Calvin - a Pilgrim's Life
This book is unique among biographies of John Calvin as it emphasizes the human side of Calvin, with special attention to his personal development, relationships and key periods of transition, in which he often found himself alone - all of which had a profound impact upon Calvin's theology and practice.
Just Sex
With sensitivity and conviction, Guy Brandon tackles head-on the spurious moral marker of 'between consenting adults' for legitimate sexual relationships. Demonstrating the damage that can be created by this approach he offers a better way, which brings with it the promise of God's shalom.
Maximum Life
Julian Hardyman explores two great commissions - to be fruitful (from Genesis) and to share the gospel (from Matthew) - alongside two great commandments - to love God and to love others - demonstrating how, when these are lived out by the believer, they result in life of abundance.
Psalms 1-72 (TOTC)
For many Christians, the Psalms are the richest part of the Old Testament. Derek Kidner provides a fresh and penetrating guide to Psalms 1 - 72. With its companion volume (Psalms 73 - 150) this commentary will inspire and deepen personal worship.
