  Understand the Prophets Like Never Before with Amazing Insights from One of Today's Foremost Old Testament Scholars 
  For many Christians reading the Old Testament, trying to understand Israel's prophets is like listening to just one side of a phone conversation--you only get half the idea of it. You hear the answer, but how do you know what question the prophet is answering? 
  In The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets, John Goldingay uncovers the questions behind the prophets' answers that make their meaning and relevance intelligible to us. Written as a series of imaginary letters to the twelve Minor Prophets, The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets asks the kinds of questions that Hosea, Micah, Zechariah, and others were answering. The letters make clear the issues these prophets of Israel were dealing with or deliver the news they were responding to in their Old Testament writings. For example,To Hosea: Why did you marry someone you knew might be unfaithful?To Joel: It looks as if a locust epidemic is on the way: what should we do?To Amos: What should we do about the war crimes of peoples around us?To Obadiah: The Edomites have occupied our land and pushed us out: what's up with that?To Jonah: When is God going to fulfill his undertaking to destroy Nineveh?To Micah: Will God always be angry with us as a people?To Nahum: When is God going to fulfill his undertaking to destroy Nineveh?To Habakkuk: When is God going to do something about injustice in Judah?To Zephaniah: What do you mean by "the day of the Lord"?To Haggai: When is God going to fulfill his promises about rebuilding the temple?To Zechariah: Should Jeshua be High Priest when he has been in an unclean land?To Malachi: Why does serving God seem pointless? 
  These and other questions help readers peer behind the veil of Minor Prophets' utterances and unlock their significance for today's Christians. Each chapter:begins with a brief paragraph of background about the prophetrecounts questions or reports that have been addressed to the prophet in the form of a lettersums up message of the prophet responding to that questionoffers a brief comment or explanation after each passage 
  The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets offers an imaginative, fun, and engaging way for students, pastors, and all serious Bible readers get a better grip on what is happening in these often misunderstood biblical books and get more out of their Bible reading and study.

  Recognizing what we are reading--the genre--is crucial for understanding any written work, including the books of the New Testament. However, we may not always realize we use genre categories as we interpret, whether explicitly or implicitly. Embedded genres, or genres within genres, can substantively impact the interpretation of an entire New Testament book. 
   
  This short, accessible book by a widely respected scholar and seasoned teacher introduces embedded genres, their impact on New Testament interpretation, and how they contribute to the message of the New Testament authors. Jeannine Brown offers hermeneutical guidance for interpreting embedded genres and explores the hermeneutical questions they raise. She focuses on three case studies of embedded genres that have been contested, underidentified, or underappreciated across the New Testament corpus: the Christ poem in Philippians 2, riddles in Matthew, and the household code in 1 Peter. 
   
  Students of the New Testament, pastors, and ministry leaders will value this work.

  In the courtroom, lawyers depend on rules of evidence to make their arguments. A case is made by establishing certain facts from which proof can be determined. But what happens when the truth seems to be a matter of faith? Can the legal mind discern the validity of one's belief or unbelief? 
   
    
   
  Nationally recognized trial lawyer Mark Lanier turns his analytical mind to the arguments for atheism and agnosticism. With critical thinking and precision of thought, he examines the rationales made for unbelief and assesses them on their own terms, finding points of strength and weakness in their logic and coherence. He considers whether atheistic frameworks give satisfactory and consistent explanatory answers for understanding human existence and the world around us. He cross-examines the strongest arguments of prominent atheists and also interrogates the questions of agnostics as to whether God is knowable. Through his evenhanded, levelheaded approach, Lanier challenges us all to decide for ourselves what we believe.
