A Bird's eye view of Paul
Mike Bird offers an introduction to the apostle Paul’s life and teaching. His aim is to get us excited about reading Paul’s letters, preaching his gospel, and living the Christian life the way Paul thought it should be lived.
A Higher throne
What is 'public theology'? This volume, based on the Eleventh Oak Hill Annual School of Theology, offers a conversation among those who are committed to thinking biblically about public life in relation to the gospel, and reaching a common mind.
Christ and culture revisited
Don Carson summarizes Richard Niebuhr’s classic work Christ and Culture, draws on biblical theology to offer a critique, and examines 'culture' and 'postmodernism', dominant cultural forces of our time (secularism, democracy, freedom, power) and the relation between church and state.
Deuteronomy
Thousands camped east of the Jordan, ready to cross it, eradicate a decadent culture and establish their own nation. Deuteronomy records the speeches of their leader Moses - and challenges us to acknowledge the sovereignty of God in our lives.
Esther
In the fifth century BC, the Jews were threatened with genocide. The book of Esther describes how this crisis was averted through Esther’s bravery, her stepfather’s wisdom and the unity of the Jewish people, under the sovereignty of God.
Exodus
The book of Exodus recounts the supreme Old Testament example of the saving acts of God, narrates the instituting of Passover and enshrines the giving of God's law. It is especially important to Christians because Christ fulfilled its great themes.
Faith comes by hearing
Evangelical Christians continue to disagree about the fate of those who have never been exposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. This collection analyses the debates, and offers a critique of inclusivism and a rationale for exclusivism.
Fresh
Freshers about to embark on the university experience may face a whole raft of questions and emotions. In an accessible manner, this invaluable introduction and guide covers our relationship with God, and many practical issues.
Genesis
Genesis – the Bible's account of human origins and the harbinger of human destiny – teems with critical questions. With clarity and theological insight, Derek Kidner provides a running exegetical commentary and lucidly handles the tough issues that Genesis raises.
John
Among the Gospels, John’s is unique. Its structure includes long conversations and extended debates, and much of its content is not found elsewhere. Colin Kruse shows how this Gospel weaves its themes of belief and unbelief into its rich Christology.
Leviticus
Levitical rules and regulations regarding blood and sacrifice, offerings and priests, cleanness and uncleanness appear irrelevant to contemporary Christians. R. K. Harrison illuminates these ideas within their Old Testament context, thus providing the needed background for their New Testament development.
Mend the gap
Jason Gardner shows how the growing chasm between the generations was created, including the hapless role of the church. With unshaken hope he provides practical ways forward for churches to mend the gap.
