Prologue: The Eternal Light 
In the beginning… there was silence. 
A silence so vast, it held within it the heartbeat of eternity itself. 
And then, in that silence, came a whisper — gentle yet powerful — a Word that would become flesh, a light that would pierce through the deepest night of human suffering. 
This is the story of that Light. 
A light that no darkness could overcome. 
Before time began, before galaxies spun in the heavens, before man drew his first breath, the Word already was. 
And that Word… was God.

First Fruits - An Apostolic...

Randolph Barnwell

“Financial obedience to God’s revealed economic principles in His Word, is how we provide incontestable evidence to our claim that He is absolute MASTER and LORD of our lives. First fruits giving is a tangible indicator of our firm resolve to 'Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness'. God is not ‘first’ in our lives, unless He is also ‘first’ financially. - Randolph Barnwell The principle of first fruits is eternal in nature, having its genesis in the being of God Himself. It has been perpetually practised throughout human history as one of the most courageous acts of financial obedience, denoting complete trust in and honour of God as Provider. Randolph unpacks the underlying architecture of first fruits and answers questions like: • Are first fruits and tithes the same or distinct expressions of giving? • How are first fruits determined in our modern economy? • What is the underlying philosophy governing the principle and practise of first fruits? • What promises attend the practise of first fruits? • Is fruit fruits valid for sons of God today? • What is the interconnectivity between first fruits and the apostolic, the spirit of reformation, spiritual fathering, righteousness, honour, trust and grace? “The first fruits principle is a harbinger, a forerunner embodying eternal principles. This book systematically sets out the Scriptures and their applications for overcoming financial lack. Study the teaching with a sincere heart. By adopting them, you will find success. Those who voluntarily engage the first fruits principleswill enjoy immeasurable grace and provision.” - Thamo Naidoo Randolph Barnwell is the Senior Elder of Gate Ministries Durban Central, an apostolic-prophetic church in Durban, South Africa, and is passionate about the maturation of all people into the fullness of Christ, the facilitation of the accomplishment of the eternal purposes of God, the accurate reflection of God’s image and glory, and the reconciliation of all things in Christ. He fulfils a spiritual fathering function to his own household of faith, as well as providing spiritual oversight to a few churches globally.

Creating the Canon - Composition...

Benjamin P. Laird

Unraveling the Origins of the New Testament Canon
Despite the profound influence of the New Testament, a variety of questions related to its background and history remain common. Contemporary readers often find the subject of the canon's origin and formation to be complicated and confusing, while scholars continue to struggle to find agreement about basic elements of the canon's development. In this engaging study, Benjamin P. Laird explores several misunderstood, disputed, and overlooked topics in order to provide fresh insight and clarity about the canon's creation and modern relevance. The volume addresses questions such as:

- Was there a single "original autograph" of each New Testament writing?
- Who exactly were the "original readers" of the New Testament writings?
- Did theological controversies play a decisive role in prompting the canon's formation?
- How did such a diverse body of writings come together to form a single canonical collection?
- Is there a basis for the canon's ongoing authority?
Wide-ranging yet accessible, Creating the Canon offers an illuminating treatment of the composition, formation, and authority of the New Testament and serves as a valuable guide to those with limited prior study. Creating the Canon is perfect for anyone seeking to further understand how the church got the New Testament, and it is an ideal supplemental text for courses including biblical studies, church history, theology, or any class exploring the development and authority of the New Testament canon.

Witness at the Cross - A...

Amy-Jill Levine

Experience Holy Friday from the perspective of those who watched Jesus die: Mary his mother; the Beloved Disciple from the Gospel of John; Mary Magdalene and the other women from Galilee; the two men, usually identified as thieves, crucified with Jesus; the centurion and the soldiers; Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. Jews and Romans, friends and strangers, the powerful and the powerless, the hopeful and the despairing. 
 
 
 
The story of Jesus's death is not something we just read: we think about it, and we experience it. 
 
 
 
In Witness at the Cross, Amy-Jill Levine shows how the people at the cross each have distinct roles to play. Each Evangelist presents a distinct picture of the death of Jesus. Each portrays different individuals and groups of people at the cross, each offers different images and dialogues, and so from each, we learn how those meanings and messages cross the centuries to any who would come to the cross today. 
 
 
 
Each Gospel has its own story to tell, all the witnesses have their own memories, and every reader comes away with a new insight. The witnesses at the Crucifixion watch Jesus die, and we watch with them, and we watch them. And we come away transformed.
