Faithlife Corporation God Behind the Scenes
Book SynopsisAlthough the book of Esther contains no direct references to God, his fingerprints can be found all over it. In God Behind the Scenes, Wayne K. Barkhuizen helps us trace the unseen hand of God throughout the Esther narrative, while pointing out how the book is still relevant today. As we walk through the book, we'll see how God was indeed active in preserving the people through whom the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would one day come.Trade ReviewWayne Barkhuizen has produced a most helpful guide for anyone seeking more insight into the treasured story of Esther. This compact commentary is embedded with interesting nuggets while still keeping pace with the flow of the narrative. It's also a great reminder for someone like myself, with a Jewish/Gentile family background, of the rich heritage we have in a gracious God who has acted in history to save his people from bondage in Egypt, genocide in Persia and, ultimately, eternity in hell through the timely rescue of our crucified Messiah. This book will encourage you to rejoice and trust in the God who is always present, even when it seems like he is not!--Rt. Rev. Glenn Lyons, presiding bishop of REACH-SA"Wayne Barkhuizen has done the Church of Christ worldwide a great favor with his book God Behind the Scenes. Here is an excellent presentation of the message of the book of Esther. Written simply and very engagingly, Wayne puts Esther in historical perspective and also succeeds in putting flesh and blood on all the characters in the story. This book is a great reminder of the providence and sovereignty of God over all of life and his special care for his own people. Wayne reminds us that God's love, ultimately displayed through his Son our Lord Jesus on the cross, is shown in Esther to be constantly in action behind the scenes, even in the most precarious circumstances. Wayne puts the reader in touch with the main themes of the book--complete with occasional historical references that are very helpful--then skillfully draws all these themes together at the end. This is an altogether helpful book that will not only be a great help to individual Christians but also helpful for those who meet in group studies. I highly recommend it."--Rt. Rev. Frank Retief, former presiding bishop of REACH-SA"The book of Esther poses numerous challenges for Christian readers. Barkhuizen helpfully guides us through the story to understand the God who, though never named, stands behind it and with his people. This guidance, along with theological reflections throughout, shows how and why this book remains important today."--David Firth, author of The Message of Esther"Wayne Barkhuizen has given us a fresh and insightful take on the book of Esther. ... [T]he author takes us through the book as Christian Scripture, deepening our appreciation of the magnificent providence of God at work in the history of the Jewish people. Simply written, this book will be a help to preachers, teachers, and general readers."--Rev. Dr. David Seccombe, retired principal of George Whitefield College, South Africa"I feel privileged to commend Wayne Barkhuizen's wonderful little book on a wonderful Old Testament story. If you want the book of Esther to light up, this is the way in for you. I can't think of a better one. And the message where God is seen working in a sovereign and hidden way in the darkest of times comes through with deep relevance for us in these present times of deep national, international, and personal stress and distress. Wayne shows how this little Old Testament book speaks with deep meaning directly into our own contemporary and troubled context. This volume also vividly illustrates how big dynamite can come in a small package. Read, study, put a bomb under your seat, and be inspired."--Michael Cassidy, founder of African Enterprise, author of The Church Jesus Prayed For"Wayne Barkhuizen has written a highly readable and insightful guide for individuals or groups studying the book of Esther. The reflection questions are sure to inspire some lively thought--and debate! I can recommend it highly to Bible readers who want to begin digging deeper into this fascinating narrative."--Anthony Tomasino, author of Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary Esther and Evangelical Exegetical Commentary Esther

Baker Publishing Group The Bible Made Impossible – Why Biblicism Is Not
Book SynopsisBiblicism, an approach to the Bible common among some American evangelicals, emphasizes together the Bible's exclusive authority, infallibility, clarity, self-sufficiency, internal consistency, self-evident meaning, and universal applicability. Acclaimed sociologist Christian Smith argues that this approach is misguided and unable to live up to its own claims. If evangelical biblicism worked as its proponents say it should, there would not be the vast variety of interpretive differences that biblicists themselves reach when they actually read and interpret the Bible. Far from challenging the inspiration and authority of Scripture, Smith critiques a particular rendering of it, encouraging evangelicals to seek a more responsible, coherent, and defensible approach to biblical authority. This important book has generated lively discussion and debate. The paperback edition adds a new chapter responding to the conversation that the cloth edition has sparked.Table of ContentsIntroductionPart 1: The Impossibility of Biblicism1. Biblicism and the Problem of Pervasive Interpretive Pluralism2. The Extent and Source of Pervasive Interpretive Pluralism3. Some Relevant History, Sociology, and Psychology4.

Kenneth Campbell Bats in the Bell Tower: Unmasking the Doctrines
Book SynopsisWhat can the modern church do to combat the insidious doctrines of devils that have crept into her sanctuaries to quench her ?ame? How can she recognise them? What is her protocol? Can she again arise as that glorious church and spotless bride?NEVER HAS THE OVERALL CHURCH been in more need of an OVERHAUL! The old ship of Zion is sailing in troubled waters beyond her capacity to remain buoyant. She is in need of a new hull, a new rudder, and a new chartered course! Her navigational skills have been too long under the controlling helm of satanic forces. It is high time for her captain and guide, the Holy Ghost, to return to her wheelhouse. Within the pages of Bats in The Bell Tower, the author takes us into the back rooms and boardrooms of the nefarious "principalities and powers" that have infiltrated the church in the past and have continued to do so until this very day. It is only there, in that backroom, that we can get a glimpse of the formulas and concoctions that have been implemented against her power and purpose. This book addresses these following principles that must be implemented and adhered to if we are to emerge from the fog of confusion and error within the church.1.We must be willing to apply the eye salve of honesty and look objectively into the microscope of doctrinal scrutiny again and denounce all recognised infiltrations of evil.2.The church must be willing to make a full acknowledgement and confession of its unwittingly naive contracts it has made with Satan through these false doctrines.3.She must be willing to tear up those said contracts and remove hisinfluence from the sacred spiritual real estate that alone belongs to God and His church.4.We must be willing to establish once again the foundational building blocks of repentance from dead works, faith towards God, and the truthof the gospel. We must not deviate from these basic truths.5.No longer can the body of Christ compromise its mission. God has standards, God has principles, and God has guidelines of absolute truth that the church must adhere to.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Empire, the British Museum, and the Making of the
Book SynopsisSince the modern period, the field of biblical studies has relied upon libraries, museums, and archives for its evidentiary and credentialing needs. Yet, absent in biblical scholarship is a thorough and critical examination of the instrumentality of the discipline’s master archives for elite power structures. Addressing this gap in biblical scholarship lies central to this book. Interrogated here is a premier repository or master archive of the discipline: the British Museum. Using an assemblage of critical theories from archival discourse to postcolonial studies, space theory to governmentality studies, the focal point of this book is at the intersections of the Museum’s rise to scientific prominence, the British Empire, and the conferring of scientific authority to modern biblical critics in the nineteenth century. Gregory L. Cuéllar initiates a season of historicization of the master archives of biblical studies and archival criticism.Trade Review“Cuéllar’s work is incisive, persuasive, and important. … Cuéllar’s task in Empire, the British Museum, and the Making of the Biblical Scholar in the Nineteenth Century is hermeneutically-minded and immanently relevant to the shifting tides of biblical criticism in the twenty-first century.” (Erin J. Beall, Horizons in Biblical Theology, Vol. 44 (1), 2022)Table of Contents 1. Introduction: Historicizing the Master Archive 2. Mastering Biblical History in the British Museum 3.
