  What does it mean to be human?
  This timeless question proves critical as we seek to understand our purpose, identity, and significance. Amidst the many voices clamoring to shape our understanding of humanity, the Bible reveals important truths related to our human identity and vocation that are critical to the flourishing of all of creation.
  Carmen Joy Imes seeks to recover the theologically rich message of the creation narratives starting in the book of Genesis as they illuminate what it means to be human. Every human being is created as God's image. Imago Dei is our human identity, and God appointed humans to rule on God's behalf. Being God's Image explores the implications of this kinship relationship with God and considers what it means for our work, our gender relations, our care for creation, and our eternal destiny. The Bible invites us into a dramatically different quality of life: a beloved community in which we can know God and one another as we are truly known.
  In Being God's Image, you'll find:
  
  - Imes's clear, insightful exploration of our deepest questions: what it means to be human,
  - A discussion guide for personal reflection or group study,
  - Additional links to related video material through the BibleProject.

  Abundantly More - The...

  Jeremy S. Begbie

  Late-modern culture has been marred by reductionism, which shrinks and flattens our vision of ourselves and the world. Renowned theologian Jeremy Begbie believes that the arts by their nature push against reductionism, helping us understand and experience more deeply the infinite richness of God's love and of the world God has made. 
   
  In this paperback edition of Abundantly More, Begbie analyzes and critiques reductionism and its effects. He shows how the arts can resist reductive impulses by opening us up to an unlimited abundance of meaning. And he demonstrates how the engagement of the arts in light of a trinitarian imagination (which itself cuts against reductionism) generates a unique way of witnessing to and sharing in the life and purposes of God. 
   
  Theologians, artists, and any who are interested in how the fields of art and theology intersect will find rich resources here and discover the crucial role the arts can play in keeping our culture open to the possibility of God. 
   
  The hardcover edition received an Award of Distinction (Arts & Culture) from The Gospel Coalition. 
   
  "Timely, helpful, and theologically rigorous."--The Gospel Coalition

  If you’ve ever wondered about who constituted the inner circle of Jesus, don’t wonder any longer. 
  While the words and actions of the Twelve Apostles can be found scattered throughout the New Testament, putting together the pieces can be confusing, taxing, and just plain hard. Names are often repeated or changed. Previous jobs and possible destinations are mentioned, but even a map of the ancient world can be difficult to piece together. While some books of the Bible are written by the apostles, some are not, and others only give enticing hints as to who read them, where, and why. Commentaries abound, as do histories from men like Origen, Eusebius, and Jerome. So, where is one to begin? 
  In this slim book, all that work has finally been done for you. Told in an easy, interesting, and engaging style, you can finally peruse the stories that will broaden your knowledge and add to your religious conversations. Students of history and students of Christianity will find theories, traditions, and even long-forgotten stories from outside the Bible to ponder and ultimately come to one’s own decision. This book is not meant to convert the reader; it is meant to share facts.  
  At last, without spending countless hours and thousands of dollars on volume upon volume of textbooks, the reader has a jumping-off point for what will prove to be an exciting and thought-provoking journey. 
  Inside, you’ll find the answers to these questions:Where did the apostles go after the Bible stories end?Why did they seem to disagree with each other so often?Which apostles had families or were related?Why do some people count twelve, thirteen, or fourteen apostles?How did such ordinary men come to have such a huge influence on the world today?
