Perhaps of all the books in the New Testament, James most squarely focuses on results. His pull-no-punches approach to spiritual maturity, his preference for action over words, makes his text the perfect backdrop for a study of how to grow in our faith. Beloved author and teacher Warren Wiersbe leads you through this practical book with advice on how to overcome temptation, controlling the tongue, effective prayer, and how to practice what the Bible teaches.

Why does the Bible contain so many stories of hurting people? Though their situations vary, their conditions don't. They have nowhere to turn. Yet before their eyes stands a never-say-die Galilean who majors in stepping in when everyone else steps out. Lucado reminds us that the purpose of these portraits isn't to tell us what Jesus did-but rather to remind us what Jesus still does.

Did the New Testament canon arise naturally from within the early Christian faith? Were the books written as Scripture, or did they become Scripture? Why did early Christians have a canon at all? These are the types of questions that led Michael J. Kruger to pick apart modern scholarship's dominant view that the New Testament is a late creation of the church imposed on books originally written for another purpose.

For many, Revelation is both confusing and overwhelming. The many views surrounding the book can produce a paralyzing effect, causing many Christians to avoid it altogether. But the book of Revelation is profoundly meaningful and applicable to our lives today as followers of Jesus. Revelation The End of Time and the Eternal King is a verse-by-verse expositional study of the book of Revelation intended to make perhaps the most difficult and controversial book of the Bible accessible to the average reader/listener.

Today John Calvin is often thought of only as a theologian. However, he was first and foremost a preacher of the word of God. Here his sermon series through 1 Timothy is made accessible in English once again. Previously these sermons were available only in a rough facsimile of a 1579 translation. In this volume the language and spelling have been updated to give better access to these powerful sermons preached during a time of intense struggle in the church in Geneva. Significantly different from Calvin's commentaries, these sermons show Calvin the pastor with a deep evangelistic burden. ...

Why Jesus’s historic and cultural influence makes him fascinating, provocative, and relevant for everyone, not only Christians. Two thousand years after his birth and death, Jesus of Nazareth continues to be of vital interest. Yet much of the scholarship around Jesus focuses on his religious...

At a distance of 20 centuries, the figure of Jesus of Nazareth can seem impossibly obscure - indeed, some skeptics even question whether he existed. And yet we have an eyewitness account of his life, death, and resurrection from one of his closest companions, the sherman Simon Bar-Jonah, better known as the Apostle Peter. Peter's disciple Mark wrote down the apostle's account of the life of Jesus as he told it to the first Christians in Rome. The vivid, detailed, unadorned prose of the Gospel of Mark conveys the unmistakable immediacy of a firsthand account.

Transported two thousand years into the past, readers are introduced to Antipas, a Roman civic leader who has encountered the writings of the biblical author Luke. Luke's writings spark Antipas's interest, and a correspondence transpires between them.

Joy is everywhere in the book of Philippians. The emotion that Paul poured out in his letter to the church in Philippi shines through in every one of its 104 verses...and Paul wrote it as a prisoner chained to a Roman guard. What gives the Apostle Paul such resounding joy, even in the face of...

This book provides a remarkably clear glimpse into God's ultimate design for the entire creation.

Palmer Robertson's three-volume Christ of the Consummation explores progressive revelation across the redemptive history of the New Testament.
