The adopted son; or illustrations of the Lord's prayer

E. A. L. O.

Summary

In "The Adopted Son; or, Illustrations of the Lord's Prayer," A. L. O. E. skillfully weaves a narrative that explores the profound themes found within the Christian tradition, particularly the significance of the Lord's Prayer. Presented through a series of vignettes, the book employs a rich, illustrative style that captivates young readers while conveying moral lessons intertwined with biblical teachings. A. L. O. E.'s prose is marked by a heartfelt earnestness that invites both contemplation and accessibility, making the text a pedagogical tool as well as an engaging story. A. L. O. E., a pseudonym for the author Charlotte Maria Tucker, was deeply influenced by her devout Christian upbringing and her desire to communicate moral teachings to children. Active in the 19th century, she was committed to the application of faith in daily life, producing literature that served to both entertain and educate. Her unique position as a female author during a time when women's voices were often marginalized provided her with both the perspective and motivation to craft works that reflect deep theological insights. This book is highly recommended for parents and educators seeking to instill moral values in young readers. Through evocative storytelling and relatable characters, A. L. O. E. not only elucidates the essence of the Lord's Prayer but also encourages children to internalize its meanings, making it a must-read for those invested in spiritual development and ethical instruction.

Providence in the Story of...

Adamson Co, Kevin J. Vanhoozer

The doctrine of providence is often too abstract, complex, or detached from real-life situations for introductory students. Drawing on years of experience in the classroom and the church, Adamson Co offers an introductory guide that uses the creation motif of the Bible to highlight the importance of providence for the Christian life. 
 
 
 
Co begins with a brief introduction to providence to give students the "state of the question." He then explores the classical theme of the seventh and eighth days of creation as a helpful way to understand providence. He sets providence and human existence within the metanarrative of the Bible while explicating the doctrine in an overview fashion. Co demonstrates how the seventh and eighth days of creation bring clarity to traditional issues raised in systematic theology, such as preservation, governance, and concurrence; the problem of evil; and divine sovereignty and human free will. 
 
 
 
Providence in the Story of Scripture challenges listeners to live out a life of partnership with God in his providence and shows how the blessed hope of the Christian faith is God's life-transforming providence for today. The book includes a foreword by Kevin J. Vanhoozer.

Reading the Bible on Turtle...

H. Daniel Zacharias, T....

"Comprehensive and visionary, Reading the Bible on Turtle Island reimagines Christian faith in view of Indigenous experiences and identity."—Foreword Reviews, November/December 2025
Join the dance of North American Indigenous interpretations of Christian Scripture
In Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Indigenous scholars Chris Hoklotubbe and Danny Zacharias explore what it means to read the Bible from the lens of Indigenous peoples in North America. Exploring the intersection of Scripture, Cultural Traditions, Hearts and Minds, and Creation, they affirm Creator's presence with Indigenous people since the beginning. By recovering these rich histories, this book offers a fresh reading of Scripture that celebrates the assets, blessings, and insights of Indigenous interpretation.
Indigenous culture has often been dismissed or deemed problematic within Western Christian circles, and historical practices have often communicated that Indigenous worldviews have little to offer the church or its understanding of Scripture. Hoklotubbe and Zacharias challenge this perspective, reasserting the dignity of these cultures that were condemned through colonial practices and showing how Indigenous interpretations bring invaluable insights to all of God's people.
In Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Hoklotubbe and Zacharias:

- Affirm the dignity and value of Indigenous cultures and their contributions to hermeneutics.
- Explore the intersection of the Bible with Indigenous traditions.
- Delve deeply into the stories of Scripture alongside the complex histories of Indigenous communities in North America.
- Celebrate the unique blessings and insights of Indigenous interpretation.
- Offer a fresh, transformative reading of the Bible that speaks to all of God's people.
Reading the Bible on Turtle Island is a vital resource for scholars who are interested in the intersection of biblical studies and social location, who are seeking to explore Scripture through an Indigenous hermeneutic, or who desire to learn more about the contributions of Indigenous worldviews to Biblical interpretation.
