| Each volume of this 12 volume series presents thorough and thought provoking investigations into the questions that have been asked by scholars, scientist and theologians for over 2,000 years. We all know that the Bible is the most widely read and revered book in the history of the world. But does anyone know who really wrote it? What are archaeologists, paleontologists, biologists and theologians saying today? Is the story of Adam and Eve fact...or fiction? Is the increased earthquake activity, disastrous flooding, escalating global tension and the ever-present threat of war a fulfillment of prophecy or...an amazing series of coincidences? View the evidence and decide. Not Rated. |

| Does it matter whether Christians believe in a literal 7-day creation? Morris, father of the modern creationism movement, believes it does---in fact, he considers this doctrine to be central to our faith. To prove his point, he illustrates that creation is mentioned in every book of the Bible---from Genesis to Job to Revelation. |

| In the academic community the confirmed results of scientific investigation are considered the touchstone of intellectual inquiry. Indeed, society at large has come to respect all claims offered under the rubric of "science." As a "scientific theology," the historical-critical method has come to dominate the field of biblical criticism in Germany and is championed in seminaries and universities around the world. In this first English language edition, author Eta Linnemann challenges the root assumption of this theology, its claim to be "scientific." To the contrary, she finds that "what goes unnoticed is that many of these 'results' are nothing more than unproven hypotheses that are trumpeted to be facts. . . ." (from the Preface). The book examines and refutes a variety of claims and questions including: Was there a source or "Q" document from which the Synoptic Gospels were copied? Did Paul actually write all the Epistles attributed to him? How much credibility should Christian give to "proofs" that numerous New Testament books were written long after the apostles died? Why is there so much difference in New Testament vocabulary and grammatical structure? |

| The one great message of this book makes clear the truth that through it all, the Lord's servant may be, and should be, "as his Lord."This three-in-one volume by Oswald Chambers, recognized as an intimate companion of God, substantiates the very basis of the Christian faith. He upholds the moral and spiritual standing of Christians, despite challenges from today's secular, skeptical, and lawless rationalists. Here Chambers addresses the human needs to recognize the ethical demands of Scripture, and he challenges readers to act as Jesus did, in the power of His Spirit. Throughout these pages he upholds the ethical principles of the Christian life by promoting Christian thinking that leads to godly behavior. |

| In this study of how the late ancient educational system influenced patristic biblical exegesis, simplistic reductions to discrete methods and schools give way to a more nuanced appreciation. Professor Young's lucid study shows how early Christians used the interpretive tools of Greco-Roman culture to build an alternative Christian culture on the basis of the biblical text. |

| Most North American churches take a pragmatic approach to church life. We are concerned with being relevant to the culture and ultimately growing at a steady rate. While these issues are certainly legitimate, they also create a danger that our churches will be shaped more by these extrabiblical goals than by the biblical mandate of God. Utilizing the Scriptures, theology, and Baptist history, this comprehensive work addresses all aspects of the church-both theological and practical. |

| Biblical Greek Exegesis presents a proven, highly practical approach to the study of intermediate and advanced Greek grammar. Most textbooks focus on learning syntactical categories, illustrated by sentences taken from the Greek New Testament, and place little emphasis on how to apply Greek grammar to the Greek text in preparing sermons and lectures. In contrast, Biblical Greek Exegesis stresses "real-life" application. Beginning with selections from the Greek New Testament, students learn intermediate and advanced Greek grammar inductively by analyzing the text. The process closely resembles the approach used in sermon and lecture preparation. In Part 1 (SYNTAX), students work through nine selections from the New Testament, taken from the Gospels, Paul's letters (including Romans), and the General Letters. The selections are arranged in order of increasing difficulty. The student becomes familiar with syntactical categories through translation, grammatical analysis, and grammatical diagramming, supplemented by class discussion. Equally important, the length of these selections allows for semantic diagramming and analysis. This provides a tool for analyzing larger units of meaning, which is not possible when working only with sentences that illustrate specific points of grammar. In Part 2 (EXGESIS), the student takes the sections from the Greek New Testament through a twelve-step method of exegesis and exposition. The students work through one section of approximately fifteen verses every two weeks, beginning with the first step -- spiritual preparation -- and ending with application and a preaching / teaching outline. This approach has two benefits. Advanced Greek students learn to use the Greek text and grammar as they will in the "real world." They also learn to integrate other significant areas such as literary form and textual criticism, as well as use the exegetical tools. in short, they become better expositors of the Word of God. Bibliographies are provided for each of the twelve steps in the exegetical process. Also included in a summary of syntactical categories based on Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics. This successfully field-tested approach to intermediate and advanced Greek will help students bridge the gap between understanding the categories of Greek grammar and the demand to communicate the meaning and significance of the New Testament message to the twenty-first century. |
