Introduction to Biblical...

Jacqueline Grey, Paul W. Lewis

This introduction to biblical interpretation expands the interpretive task to encompass both comprehension of the Bible's content and active participation in God's redemptive plan. The authors help readers engage with the beauty of God's Word and read it holistically for their intellectual and spiritual growth. They address the nature of interpretation; emphasize the Holy Spirit's role in the production, interpretation, and application of the Bible as a communication of the triune God; and explore the Bible's genres and historical contexts through the lens of God's redemptive story. They also provide principles and accessible guidelines for biblical interpretation in global contexts, including a simple outline for beginning students to follow as they start interpreting and applying Scripture. Above all, the authors emphasize the transformative nature of reading Scripture. 
 
This series reflects the changing face of global Christianity. Series volumes highlight themes of interest to Pentecostal/Charismatic students; however, the books are respectful and inclusive of a variety of church traditions. Series editors are Jerry Ireland, Paul W. Lewis, and Frank D. Macchia.

Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto,...

These topics include the purpose of creation, the Creator, human responsibility, the spiritual realms, providence, Israel and the nations, astrology, the human soul, theurgy, prophecy, the study of Torah, prayer, and the function of mitzvah observance. All these are brought in a clear flowing structure that outlines the whole of Jewish thought and philosophy.

Hosea: Audio Lectures - 11...

Jerry Hwang

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Hosea: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. 
Designed for the pastor and Bible student, Hosea: Audio Lectures, together with the accompanying text on Hosea from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament, brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Jerry Hwang traces the flow of argument in the book of Hosea, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. 
More than any other Old Testament prophet, Hosea speaks of YHWH's covenant with his people as a family affair rather than a legal proceeding. Hosea’s personal experiences become living proof of YHWH's commitment to his people as well as the rest of creation. In the process, the book of Hosea testifies to how the dealings of YHWH with the tiny kingdoms of Samaria and Judah are nothing less than the fulcrum of history. In this video study, each lecture offers the main idea of the passage, its literary context and Hebrew structure, an explanation of the text, and its practical significance for both the original audience and for us today.
