Sinopse

The "Deuterocanonical Books of the Bible: Apocrypha" presents a compelling exploration of the texts excluded from the canonical scriptures, illuminating their rich theological, historical, and cultural significance within Judeo-Christian traditions. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, this work delves into the narratives, wisdom literature, and prophecies found in these writings, which include Tobit, Judith, and the Wisdom of Solomon. By examining these texts in their historical context, the author challenges the dichotomy between canonical and non-canonical, advocating for a nuanced understanding of the broader biblical narrative. The anonymity of the author may suggest a desire to focus on the collective wisdom of these texts rather than individual identity. Emerging from a scholarly milieu that recognizes the Apocrypha's importance, the author draws on extensive historical and theological research, reflecting a deep engagement with the debates surrounding scriptural authority and interpretation. This work resonates with contemporary discussions on the nature of faith and inclusion in religious literature. Recommended for theologians, historians, and curious readers alike, this volume invites readers to reassess the often-overlooked Deuterocanonical texts. By engaging with this remarkable compilation, one gains invaluable insights into the text's interplay with faith and remains informed about its lasting impact on religious thought and practice.

    After his apparent resurrection, the beloved leader Victor Quade is hailed internationally as God. Yet when Victor mandates that everything from purchasing groceries to seeing a doctor will require a mark of allegiance to him, Emma Grady and her friends in New York City know they must go on the run, recognizing that Victor is not the savior he appears to be. Meanwhile, in Israel, the Jewish people worship Victor as a messiah, not realizing he intends to seal their doom. As Jews and Jesus-followers around the globe are losing their lives, Zerah Adler strives to protect as many as possible in this violent, volatile time. In this spellbinding conclusion to the end-times trilogy that began with The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the bestselling author of The Christmas Shoes brings the stories of Emma and Zerah to a riveting close. In the final chapters, you’ll discover what God’s Word says about the glorious future that awaits you, and you’ll see that things aren’t spiraling downward but are instead looking up!

    Though the words "foster care" are not in the Bible, the act of caring for the vulnerable is clearly important to God. Perhaps nowhere is that kind of tender attention and care for the vulnerable more evident than in the act of fostering a child. But as foster parents pour themselves into the children God has called them to care for, they may find themselves feeling emptied, in need of being refreshed and reinvigorated for the day to come. 
     
     
     
    With sixty devotions written especially for foster parents by a foster parent, Filled offers a special boost of spiritual energy and encouragement particular to the unique joys and challenges faced by those who open their homes and hearts to kids in need of love. Each reading includes Scripture, a real-life anecdote from the author's experience as a foster parent, an explanation of the biblical text, and suggestions for continued reading.

    Edited for Modern Readers, These Wartime Sermons from John Owen Explore God's Judgment and Sovereignty
    Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, missions, and ecclesiology. His classic works—which have inspired Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper—remain influential, but until now haven't been offered in an easy-to-read collection.
    The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume project that brings together all of Owen's original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 18 includes 5 sermons that Owen delivered at a time of civil war, addressing matters such as providence and toleration. Together they outline his vision for a lasting settlement for both church and state. With extensive introductions by editor Martyn C. Cowan, this volume also includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.
    
    - Edited and Formatted for Modern Readers: Presents Owen's original writing, newly typeset with insightful introductions, outlines, text breaks, headings, and footnotes
    - Part of the Complete Works of John Owen Project: This collection, which includes material not previously published, will release 40 hardcover volumes over a number of years
    - Perfect for Churches and Schools: Written for students, pastors, theologians, and those interested in the sermons of John Owen
