New Releases for May 2009
2 Peter & Jude (IVP NTC)
A Shelter in the Time of Storm
The author is not just a teacher but a sufferer. That’s why these meditations – Bible verses, explanation, illustrations, poems and challenging questions – speak directly to the heart of the reader. And there is deep reassurance: ‘The hope of Psalm 27 is patient, and it grows stronger as it waits, because it is rooted in a daily consideration of the goodness of God.’
Ezra and Nehemiah (TOTC)
The books of Ezra and Nehemiah chart the Jews' return from exile to Jerusalem and the beginnings of that rebirth. As the drama unfolds, above all and through all we see the good hand of God at work.
Hebrews
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.
Psalms 73-150
For many Christians, the Psalms are the richest part of the Old Testament. Derek Kidner provides a fresh and penetrating guide to Psalms 73 – 150. With its companion volume (Psalms 1 – 72) this commentary will inspire and deepen personal worship.
Signposts
The Psalms inspire praise in times of joy and provide comfort during life’s trials. And yet their meaning can seem obscure. Derek Tidball provides a devotional map to help readers find their way around each psalm, with signposts for personal reflection and direction.
The Ordinary Hero
A hard-hitting book showing how the cross and resurrection provide the pattern for Christian discipleship today. Allowing the cross and resurrection to shape our lives enables us to become exceptional, special, heroic. This is life with real meaning, life with a purpose.
Transforming the World?
This stimulating volume seeks to demonstrate that there is no tension between evangelism and the Christian’s obligation to care for the needy. The chapters survey relevant biblical material and offer perspectives from social ethics, systematic theology and church history.
Trinitarian Theology for the Church
The doctrine of the Trinity has received considerable attention in recent years. These essays demonstrate the substance and importance of the doctrine for Christian faith, particularly in worship, in the reading of Scripture, and in the church’s mission.
