The Minor Prophets - A Theological Introduction

Craig G. Bartholomew, Heath A. Thomas

Sinopse

The good news from the Minor Prophets is that, even in dire times, God speaks.
While the Minor Prophets are among the most succinct books of the Old Testament, their theological richness has much to offer us today. And not only did they have something to say to their original audience, but God continues to speak through their words in ways that are of utmost importance for the continued flourishing of God's people. In this unique introduction to the Minor Prophets, biblical scholars Craig Bartholomew and Heath Thomas survey the twelve books and explore the theological themes of each. Filled with helpful exegetical insights, this book is an invaluable guide for students, pastors, and scholars looking for a cohesive exploration of these often-overlooked books of the Hebrew Bible.
More than a survey of the text, each chapter offers theological insights that help frame the message of the Minor Prophets for preaching and living in our world today. This introduction contextualizes the Minor Prophets within a larger biblical-theological framework, illuminating these twelve books as masterful works of literature that address the realities of human life with unblinking honesty and uncompromising hope.

Bible (ASV) 05: Deuteronomy

Multiple Authors

"Deuteronomy or Devarim  is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible, and the fifth of five books of the Jewish Torah/Pentateuch. A large part of the book consists of five sermons delivered by Moses reviewing the previous forty years of wandering in the wilderness, and the future entering into the Promised Land. Its central element is a detailed law-code by which the Israelites are to live within the Promised Land. Theologically the book constitutes the renewing of the covenant between YHWH, the Jewish God, and the 'Children of Israel.'"

A Beautiful Defeat - Find True...

Kevin Malarkey, Matthew Jacobson

Total surrender to God: the surprising key to experiencing the sense of peace and purpose you crave. 
There is a gnawing feeling inside all of us that says we could be better. If we would just be more organized or work a little harder, we’d finally have the rich and fulfilling life we want. 
But the message of the cross is different.  
The message is not one of God saying, “I died for your sins to work as a consultant to help you achieve the life you’re determined to have.” Jesus died to reconcile us to God so that we can die and give our lives to him and to others—a total surrender that is truly a beautiful defeat! 
Perspective and peace in the midst of the stormy chaos of life are always available to the person who lives a surrendered life. The result is a rich existence basking in the pleasure and approval of God.

The Day I Went To Hell: - A...

T.L. Grundy

What seemed an ordinary trip on the 101 freeway in Southern California in 2005 turned out for T.L. and his friend Kayla to be anything but ordinary. It begins as a dream adventure but deteriorates quickly into a dangerous nightmare. After seemingly miles and miles of aimless driving, they realize they can’t leave and are in a time loop to nowhere. They also come to the chilling realization that they are not alone. Kayla is attacked and overtaken by an unfriendly foreign presence she calls “him.” And T.L., in this harrowing tale, must keep from believing the lie she and “he” is telling him: That he is dead, in hell, and has missed the coming of Jesus Christ. This battle in the spiritual realm forces Kayla and T.L. to come to terms with their sin, and only by the Spirit of God will they know the truth from the lie and get set free.

Second Thoughts About the Second...

Ronald J. Allen, Robert D. Cornwall

Various ideas float around about the subject of last things, leading many Christians to conclude that they don't know what to think about the subject. Yet at the core of the Christian doctrine of last things lies two simple and complementary hopes: that God ever and always offers hope for our individual futures and for the future of the whole world. 
 
 
 
In this helpful book, Allen and Cornwall explain how we don't have to subscribe to sensationalist theories or sketchy interpretations to believe in Christian hope. They walk the listener through the central biblical teachings on last things and then show the ways the church has interpreted those teachings throughout the centuries. In a respectful way, the authors demonstrate that end-time beliefs centered on the Rapture came into existence only recently, and they then offer several more life-affirming, contemporary interpretations as alternatives. 
 
 
 
This book is designed to help pastors develop both topical and lectionary-based sermon series on Christian hope.
