Pauls Metaphors : Their Context And Character
$43.00Add to cartPaul’s writings are laced with vivid images from the bustling New Testament world. To understand these metaphors, David J. Williams delves into that Greco-Roman world and uses ancient sources to explore a wide variety of topics such as architecture, law, commerce, health care, and education. Williams studies this world in chapters with titles such as “Life in the City,” “Family Life,” “Slavery and Freedom,” “Citizens and Courts of Law,” “Travel,” and “Warfare and Soldering.”
Paul’s metaphors, set apart in bold type, are examined in the light of this background information and restored to their original vitality. Well-known metaphors-the Christian as a slave of Christ, the church as a body, Paul’s two natures being at war within him, the Christian as an athlete striving toward the prize, Jesus’ return as a thief in the night, Christians as adopted heirs of God-and lesser-known metaphors come to life for the modern reader through Williams’s careful exposition.
The main text is accessible to the general reader; scholars will appreciate footnotes that discuss the Greek text and provide resources for further study. Appendix 1 lists a select chronology of the Roman Empire and appendix 2 provides dates and descriptions of significant ancient authors and tests. Scripture, ancient source, and modern author indexes add to the usefulness of this work.

Wonder Of Wonders (Student/Study Guide)
$20.49Add to cartI was overawed when Norma’s manuscript reached me this spring. Can you imagine using close to 50,000 words to describe the grace of God? Norma’s book is only the tip of the iceberg. Paul’s words in Romans 11:33 (J.B. Phillips) says, “I stand amazed at the fathomless wealth of God’s wisdom and God’s knowledge. How could any man ever understand His reasons for action, or explain His methods of working?” Norma has listed 192 definitions and examples of the Bible word “grace.” I was fascinated when Norma explained that grace is not exclusively a New Testament word. So many scholars have stated that the subject of the N.T. is “grace” while that of the O.T. is “the Law.” In the introduction Norma explains why she divided the O.T. references from the N.T. This book is encyclopedic or comprehensive in scope. It will be a welcome addition to the library of any person who is serious about studying the Word of God. It will go along side of other reference books such as translations, Bible dictionaries, commentaries, and lexicons. The other day a young Christian, looking at the age-lines in my face, asked, “As you grow older, what surprises you most about following Jesus?” My immediate answer was His Grace. Now, Norma Svenhard has written Wonder of Wonders, a definitive Bible study-outline on this very subject. Tracing God’s Grace through both Old and New Testaments, Norma’s guide is an invaluable tool for all of us seeking a deeper understanding of God’s unmerited kindness, which we call Grace. -John Sherrill, Roving Editor, Guideposts Magazine

Paul The Letter Writer Print On Demand Title
$25.99Add to cartThis engaging study shows how Paul’s stylized use of the official Roman letter a form of communication of great social import in his day played a crucial role in his apostolic ministry, conveying both his self-identity and sense of authority.
M. Luther Stirewalt describes the logistics of letter writing in the first-century Mediterranean world and shows how official letters served to substitute for speeches to an audience, to convey executive, official, or bureaucratic matters, or to bring complaints or petitions from citizens to officials. He then shows how Paul structured his apostolic correspondence after these models of writing, drawing evidence directly from seven Pauline epistles: 1 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon, Galatians, and Romans.
Cutting a new angle on Paul’s purposes, his ministry, and his pastoral concerns, Stirewalt’s “Paul, the Letter Writer” will appeal to readers of the Bible and ancient history.

How To Be A Christian Without Being Religious (Reprinted)
$15.00Add to cartSince the days of the early church, Christians have struggled to find a way to be “good”–to please God by their own efforts. They end up carrying a burden God never intended them to bear. And what’s more, their brand of Christianity ends up looking like any other religion of the world–bound by joyless rules and rituals. Fritz Ridenour’s study of the book of Romans provides an antidote to the pharisaical spirit and shows that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. It is not people reaching up, but God reaching down. All Christians can enjoy their birthright when they realize who they are in Christ. The result is a life full of hope, joy, power, and potential.

Attitudes Of A Transformed Heart (Student/Study Guide)
$14.95Add to cartChristians and non-Christians alike often embrace a low view of God, and consequently a casual view of sin and Scripture. This low view of God is reflected in their attitudes about God, their attitudes about Scripture, and their attitudes of the heart. This book is about being “transformed” by the renewing of your mind” and not being “conformed to this world” (Romans 12:2).
Your Heart is who you are on the inside. It is what you think, your motives, and your desires. Our hearts have been conformed to the world’s way of thinking. Paul wrote, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2). It takes grace from God and work on our part for our minds to be transformed to think God-honoring thoughts and to truly discern unbiblical philosophies.
If you have a teachable heart, this book will help you truly honor God by what you think. Study questions are at the end of each chapter. -
