  Answering the Psalmist's...

  "Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures for ever" (Ps 136:1).
  There are now numerous models that seek to explain how the biblical covenants relate to one another. In an attempt to evaluate these models, James Hely Hutchinson mines the rich seams of the book of Psalms in this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume.
  After covering the key data on covenant relationships in Books 1–3 of the psalter, Hutchinson considers the perplexity expressed in the pivotal Psalm 89: in the face of the exile, the promises to David appear to be null and void. The building blocks of the solution lie with the first five books of the Bible, chiefly with the inviolable character of the promises to Abraham. However, if the Abrahamic covenant is to reach fulfilment, the problem of sin must be dealt with once and for all, and a glorious new-covenant regime must be established in which a host of covenants converge in their fulfilment. Central to this regime, which lies beyond the exile, is the eternal rule of David's superior, righteous seed and son who is also a perpetual priest and a suffering servant.
  Identifying new-covenant newness as "eschatological satisfaction (fulfilment)" and "transcendent inauguration," Hutchinson tackles a range of matters that contribute to our understanding of the contours of redemptive history, with the overall aim to enhance readers' grasp of God's breathtaking salvation plan, ability to handle Scripture aright, and worship of the Master.
  Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson and Benjamin L. Gladd, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

  The history of the Western church is stained by injustice. The impulse to resist justice and look the other way has harmed the church and the people it aims to serve. But a different future is possible. 
   
   
   
  In The Justice of Jesus, Joash Thomas surveys the history of injustice and colonization in the Global South at the hands of the Western church. He shows that in addition to harming colonized peoples, colonization has limited Western Christians' understanding of the gospel, leading us to devalue the pursuit of justice for our neighbors on the margins. 
   
   
   
  A St. Thomas Christian born and raised in India, Thomas reflects on his experience in churches across denominations in both the Global South and the Global North. He challenges the status quo, examines beliefs that keep the church from pursuing liberation and wholeness, and explores the relationship of justice to our budgets, pulpits, and theology. 
   
   
   
  The Justice of Jesus is both a prophetic diagnosis and a hopeful prognosis. Listeners will be encouraged with fresh ideas for prioritizing justice through prayer, partnerships, and advocating for the vulnerable in their communities and around the world.

  The purpose of being Born-Again is to cure pain that you are dealing with especially mentally, spiritually, and physically. If your heart is bearing sin, God has the power to baptize you with the Holy Ghost, instantly filling you with bliss and inexplicable joy . Your obedience to the will of God, relentless repentance, faith, and complete trust in the Lord will heal you holistically giving you purpose, and reason to pursue your relationship with God further. Although the Holy Spirit dwells within our temples, its holiness loses its strength inside our bodies as we live out our lives due to our sinful nature as humans. To become Born-Again, you need to transcend your environment by unveiling your shielded eyes by being aware of spiritual principles. The Holy Spirit is the transformative catalyst that jumpstarts your life energy, you must do all that you can to get God to send the Holy Spirit.Prayer and repentance aren’t always enough for God to send the Holy Spirit, because in addition to being born out of sin from the curse of Adam and Eve eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, we are also prone to attacks by Satan. Christians should understand how and why the devil is trying to keep Christians from reaching our full spiritual potential? The answer is because he knows the wiser you become increases your chances of becoming Born-Again. I will show how the only God of existence of Christianity, Jesus Christ, the Angels of heaven, and the righteous Christians will inevitably win the battle against Satan, unclean spirits, dark angels, Satanic worshipers, the wicked, and the unrighteous. The reward of the faithful and righteous is everlasting life, glorified holy bodies and Jesus will become King of Kings and Lord of Lords on Earth.

  A Body of Praise - Understanding...

  Do our physical bodies really matter in corporate worship? Isn't our soul the most important part of us? Aren't our bodies, at best, negligible to worship and, at worst, a hindrance? The answer to this last question is categorically no, as Christians have attested throughout history and across the global church. The purpose of the body instead is to offer to God in worship what only it can offer--and what must be offered to God. 
   
  By drawing on the wisdom of the Bible, church history, and theology, and by taking advantage of the unique insights of the arts and sciences, ethics, and spiritual formation, a respected theologian and pastor argues in this book that there is something for our physical bodies to do that decisively forms Christlikeness in us within the context of corporate worship. What we do with our postures, gestures, and movements in worship matters. How our senses of sight, scent, sound, taste, and touch are involved in worship matters. How our spontaneous and prescriptive activities form us in worship matters. All of it matters to faithful and fulsome worship for the sake of a body that is fully alive in the praise of God.
