Sinossi

2025 Gospel Coalition Book Award (Theological Studies) 
 
Southwestern Journal of Theology 2025 Book Award (Honorable Mention, Theological Studies) 
 
Biblical Theology in the Life of the Early Church recasts biblical theology as a practice cultivated in Christian community rather than a solely academic pursuit. Stephen Presley argues that the early church fathers crafted an ecclesial biblical theology that was lived out communally and oriented believers toward beholding God's glory. 
 
This volume brings patristic biblical interpretation into conversation with contemporary biblical theology, exploring how assumptions and methods of figures such as Irenaeus and Augustine can guide modern hermeneutics. Presley shows how early Christian theologians emphasized virtue and discipleship alongside exegesis, patiently shaping readers to inhabit Scripture's narrative. He illuminates the catechetical and liturgical scaffolding that informed patristic biblical theology, centered on Christ as the cornerstone. 
 
Students and scholars of theology, church history, hermeneutics, and patristics will find valuable new insights.

    The last moments leading up to Jesus’ death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn’t have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.   
    In this Easter season study, Max will help you:  Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God.  Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life.  Receive the grace of Christ's work for us, and cooperate with God's work in us to make us more like him.   Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God’s presence, no matter what you've done.   
    Sessions include:  He Chose to Be One of Us (15:00)He Chose to Forgive Us (16:00)He Chose to Invite Us into His Presence (15:00)He Chose to Love Us Forever (16:00)He Chose to Give Us Victory (18:00)

    A special assignment. The outcome is a matter of life or death. 
      
    Who will accept the challenge before time runs out? 
      
    Katherine Kincaid, a church mother from Christ Is For All, has been fervently petitioning Jesus to return and rescue His saints from this wicked world. 
      
    The Lord gives her a list of unknown individuals urgently needing deliverance. The intercessors and prayer warriors are charged with leading them to Christ. Once every soul is accounted for, Jesus will come to redeem His saints, and judgment will begin on the earth. 
      
    The caveat to God’s edict is that the timer has been set, and if the intercessors fail to witness to them, their souls could be lost forever. 
      
    God thunders, “Get set, get ready, GO!!!!!”

    In The Cunning Craft, Frisvold strives to clarify in a hermeneutic manner the deeper levels of the wise arts, with a particular focus on their connections with the opposer, more commonly known as the devil, the mysteries of the night, and the crossroads where power, wisdom, and mysteries are found.   In The Cunning Craft, Frisvold delves deep into the hidden realms of ancient wisdom, shining a light on the enigmatic connections between the craft and its opposing forces, such as the devil, the mysteries of the night, and the powerful crossroads where secrets converge. This book unveils the cunning arts in all their forms, from the revered to the feared. Here, the devil stands as pivotal as any saint, and wisdom flourishes where others dare not tread. The cunning ones, adept in magical arts and aided by denizens from beyond, serve as conduits between worlds, their rituals and rites steeped in both peril and power. From the arcane teachings of Picatrix to the bold insights of Giordano Bruno, this book celebrates the rich tapestry of esoteric knowledge.   With rituals honoring both poison and healing, and nods to ancient figures like Master Cain, The Cunning Craft invites sorcerers, witches, historians, and the curious alike to explore the depths of mystery veiled by the celestial bodies and the shadowy figure of the devil.

  • Love Is - A Yearlong Experiment in Living Out 1 Corinthians 13 Love - cover

    Love Is - A Yearlong Experiment...

    "Love is patient, love is kind, love is . . ." The words are so familiar they almost lack meaning, a Christianese version of "live, laugh, love." Even non-Christians are familiar with the Love Chapter of 1 Corinthians, read at weddings, painted on decorative signs, and preached regularly from the pulpit. But what happens when these verses are taken seriously? What would it take for someone to live out the Love Chapter as literally as possible? 
     
     
     
    That was the question Kim Sorrelle set out to answer during her yearlong experiment. Using 1 Corinthians 13 as a road map, she focused on one phrase at a time, seeking to understand its true meaning and how it could motivate every daily action. And she didn't just look at the best-known parts of the passage but also the ones we don't think too deeply about: love does not boast, does not dishonor others, doesn't keep a record of wrongs, and more. 
     
     
     
    In her attempts to live the Love Chapter to the letter, Kim journeyed all the way to Haiti, where she met people who both tested and displayed love to its limits. From irritating employees to sexist short-term missionaries to curse-wielding women to the profoundly kind nuns, her encounters are filled with rueful self-reflection and comical commentary, as well as a new understanding of the nuances and power of true love in action.
