Book SynopsisThe Old Testament book of Daniel contains well-known stories: Daniel in the den of lions, his three companions in a fiery furnace, and the strange handwriting on the wall at Belshazzar's feast, which struck terror in the heart of the Babylonian king. However, this book can be difficult to understand. Along with stories about Judean exiles working in the court of pagan kings, it also consists of Daniel's enigmatic visions and prophecies about the future. It is written in two languages, Hebrew and Aramaic, and the language division does not match the subject division. Therefore, Dale Ralph Davis explores the book's background, discusses significant interpretative issues and problems, and offers a lively exposition of Daniel's message, which may be summed up in the words of Jesus: 'the end is not yet... but the one who endures to the end will be saved' (Mark 13:7, 13). The Bible Speaks Today series covers every book of the Old and New Testaments, as well as Bible themes that run through the whole of Scripture. These revised editions are redesigned inside and out and have been sensitively updated with contemporary language and Bible translations to help you follow, study and teach the Bible in today's world.

Book SynopsisReligious scholars and leaders engage in a nonpartisan letter-writing campaign following the 2021 Presidential inauguration. In the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, biblical scholar Andrea L. Weiss and graphic designer Lisa M. Weinberger teamed up to create Values & Voices, a national nonpartisan campaign that used letters and social media to highlight core American values connected to our diverse religious traditions. The result was American Values, Religious Voices: 100 Days, 100 Letters, a collection of one hundred letters written by some of America's most accomplished and thoughtful scholars of religion interspersed with original artwork during the first one hundred days of the Trump presidency. In 2021, Weiss and Weinberger invited religious scholars and leaders to address President Biden, Vice President Harris, and members of the 117th Congress in their national letter writing and social media campaign. During the first 100 days of the Biden administration, religious leaders from across the country and from a range of religious denominations once again sent one letter a day to elected leaders in Washington. These letters bring an array of religious texts and teachings to bear on our most pressing contemporary issues. Arranged chronologically, the 2021 edition features 59 returning letter writers and 42 new scholars, new artwork, original essays, and and a new section focused on putting the letters into practice by using them for teaching, preaching, meditative practice, civic activism, and more. An alternate table of contents arranged by core values that emerged in the letters over the 100 days allows for thematic reading.Trade Review“The letters in this remarkable collection, written by religious scholars representing Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh traditions, remind us of fundamental American values sorely threatened today, as our nation is riven by deep socio-political divisions. . . . A clarion call, not only to our leaders in Washington, but to us ‘the people,’ to enact the values that have made our nation a beacon of promise—freedom, justice, hospitality, tolerance, respect, and equal rights for all people. Their call is both timely and urgent.” * William Madges, Xavier University *

Book SynopsisAbide is a unique tool for discovering Scripture at an exciting new level. Specially crafted prompts guide readers to engage biblical passages with more depth and imagination than ever before. By considering scriptural truth via classic art, journaling, and praying biblical texts, readers enjoy fresh, life-altering encounters with God and His Word.Trade ReviewThe Abide Bible is a unique resource that can transform personal Bible devotions into intimate, ongoing conversations with God centered around the Word of God. It provides various approaches to Scripture engagement that keep Bible reading fresh and new -- like a rich adventure in and discovery of the heart and purposes of God. Lee A. Carter, Executive Vice President of Scripture Engagement, Bible League InternationalThe Abide Bible is an answer to prayer for those of us passionate about Scripture engagement. The features are designed so you can absorb the Word of God in a transformative way. We have needed this Bible for a long time and I am thrilled to be holding it in my hands. Finally! Tessie Devore, LUMO Project PresidentFor years I have wondered if I was wired incorrectly. I'm imaginative, appreciate the arts, daydream and often get distracted by rabbit trails, and I had viewed all of these as negatives, or at least not helpful regarding my time in the Bible. The Abide Bible validates the idea that God made us uniquely, and in our distinct quirks or preferences we can leverage those to engage with Him in a deeper way. The discipline of sitting and reading the Bible is wonderful, but having additional tools in the tool belt such helps me explore curiosities, get lost in following an interesting concept across various books, and to find fresh and exciting ways of spending time with the Lord. Jonathan Huguenin, Faith Comes by HearingIn the busyness and distractions of life The Abide Bible provides tools and guidance we need to encounter God in a rich and deeper way. To 'be still and know that I am God' is not easy. The Abide Bible prompted, equipped and engaged my imagination and soul to 'be' with God, so that I could know Him better.

Book SynopsisThis Very Short Introduction offers a clear, accessible, and concise account of the apocryphal gospels - exploring their origins, their discovery, and discussing how the various texts have been interpreted both by the Church and beyond. Looking at texts from the Gospels from Nag Hammadi to the Dialogues with the Risen Saviour, Paul Foster shows how the apocryphal gospels reflect the diversity that existed within early Christianity, and examines the extent to which they can be used to reconstruct an accurate portrait of the historical Jesus. Including discussions of controversies and case-studies such as the alleged hoax surrounding the discovery of Secret Mark, Foster concludes that the non-canonical texts, considered in the correct context, offer us an important window on the vibrant and multi-faceted face of early Christianity. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

Book SynopsisAn Introduction to Biblical Greek Grammar focuses on the linguistic and syntactic elements of Koine Greek to equip learners for accurate interpretation. Drawing upon twenty years of Greek teaching experience and the latest developments in linguistics and syntax, Harris introduces students to basic linguistic concepts and categories necessary for grasping Greek in ways that are clear and intuitive. This solid foundation enables students first to internalize key concepts, then to apply and build upon them as more complex ideas are introduced.Several features are specifically designed to aid student''s learning: Key concepts are graphically coded to offer visual reinforcement of explanations and to facilitate learning forms and identifying their functions Key concepts are followed by numerous examples from the Greek New Testament Students learn how to mark Greek texts so that they can begin to see the syntax, identify the boundaries of syntactTrade Review'A great Greek textbook is up-to-date on Greek studies and linguistics, but functions as a simple and clear guide for (often intimidated) beginning students. It ought to be visually appealing with assignments that are challenging but not overwhelming. It should include plenty of examples and illustrations without a back-breaking page count. Impressively, Harris's introduction accomplishes all these things. Students can be relieved that this textbook will introduce Greek plainly; instructors can rest assured that the material is reliable and represents the state of biblical Greek scholarship.' * NIJAY K. GUPTA, professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary *'An excellent new introduction to biblical Greek from an experienced professor! Dana Harris helpfully positions Koine Greek within a historical context and introduces it from a linguistic and theological perspective. Based on current scholarship and using modern linguistic terminology, this well-structured grammar features clear presentations, ample student resources, and abundant examples from the New Testament. A stand-out first-year grammar.' * KAREN H. JOBES, Gerald F. Hawthorne Professor Emerita of New Testament Greek and Exegesis, Wheaton College and Graduate School *'Anyone who has taught first-year Greek or learned it knows one of the challenges is often a review of English as one is learning a new, quite foreign language. Dr. Harris's first-year grammar does an excellent job of bridging the languages, much like good translation must do. The direction on everything linguistic, syntactic, and semantic is carefully and fairly set forth, as well as teaching the forms required to engage the Greek. A first-year student will be well served by this text.' * DARRELL L. BOCK, executive director for cultural engagement, Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural Engagement and senior research professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary *'Dana Harris has written a textbook that equips readers to appreciate the way Koine Greek works. Consequently, reading the Greek New Testament becomes more about understanding rather than merely recognizing the language. With clear discussion and examples, Harris guides readers in a way that prepares them for deeper exegetical study. Harris's conversational and practical presentations will greatly assist teachers as well as students.' * DENNIS R. EDWARDS, associate professor of New Testament, North Park Theological Seminary *'Greek grammars in most cases all do the same thing: nouns and verbs and participles and vocabulary and exercises and parsing. In the last two decades, evangelical scholars have offered significant proposals for understanding our Greek New Testament, but the results have only occasionally trickled into a beginning grammar. With Dana Harris's new complete analysis of Greek grammar, students can become officially current. What makes this up-to-date and comprehensive grammar most beneficial is that students, once they have worked their way through this with a teacher and class, will want to return to this grammar to deepen their learning. Most grammars, once used, are put on the shelf rarely to be used again. Not this one. A real godsend for students.' * SCOT MCKNIGHT, professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary *'Most first-year biblical Greek grammars present the outcome--what the student needs to know. This one focuses on the process--the building blocks of understanding that enable informed interpretation. In that sense it is not so much a teacher's grammar (though teachers will love it) as a teaching grammar. The focus is not merely on 'what' must be learned but on the why and how that lead to textual comprehension. Enriched by the author's quarter century of Greek study and instruction in the traditional classroom as well as online, this grammar will become a standard textbook for both traditional and distance-learning settings. Written out of love for both learning and God's word, it supports student acquisition of a working knowledge of New Testament Greek in fresh, nuanced, and pedagogically effective ways.' * ROBERT W. YARBROUGH, professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary *'Written by a trained linguist and an experienced language teacher, this volume does not merely provide a first-rate textbook for beginning Greek courses. It also allows students to begin their journey in interacting with the Greek New Testament within a framework informed by the latest developments in linguistics and Greek grammar. To identify any one textbook in this crowded field as the most pedagogically effective may seem like an overstatement, but many of our Greek instructors who have used early drafts of this work can find no better way to describe it. If you are serious about learning Greek, there is no need to look elsewhere.' * DAVID W. PAO, professor of New Testament and chair of the New Testament department, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School *

Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to be faithful disciples in a violent and unjust world?Habakkuk described an era of rampant moral and social evil among his own people, and a vision of the rapid rise of the Babylonian empire under Nebuchadnezzar. The world he described is familiar in so many eras of human history, including our own. The frightening international tensions, confusion about political alignments and alliances, fractured moral and religious traditions, and social dissolution and degradation cause the same fear and anxiety today as they did back then.Confusing is a mild world for it--international, political, religious, moral confusion. It was (and still is) a world of national wickedness and international turmoil and violence, a world in which God appears to be asleep on his watch and yet claims to be working a work in Habakkuk''s day and ours.Hearing the Message of Habakkuk walks through the questions the prophet asked God about injustice and the jaw-drop

Book SynopsisThe strongest faith isn''t one without doubts. The strongest faith is a one that grows through doubts.Am I the only one who has these doubts?

Book SynopsisA landmark event: the complete Hebrew Bible in the award-winning translation that delivers the stunning literary power of the original.Trade Review"Alter’s translation can be fairly described as a godsend. The foundational texts are here given their due in prose at once modern and magnificently cadenced. Immediately readable, immensely learned, an education and a restitution…" -- Seamus Heaney - Times Literary Supplement"Encountering these books in this form—as ancient literature, laid out as poetry, with copious footnotes—allows you to be dazzled by their range, from the frank eroticism of the Song of Songs to the bucolic idyll of Esther and the downright weirdness of Daniel." -- New Statesman"You think you know these texts, or you do until you read Alter, who reignites their beauty in bracing and unexpected ways." -- Malcolm Jones - Newsweek"Sober, clear, and fluid… Masterful commentary." -- Edward Rothstein - The New York Times"Thrilling and constantly illuminating." -- Michael Dirda - The Washington Post"Musically and poetically sensitive... [Alter] takes us back to the essence of the meaning..." -- James Wood - The New Yorker"A master translator of Hebrew poetry." -- Jon Meachan - The New York Times Book Review"Alter has achieved the significant feat of refreshing English by taking it back to one of its sources of strength." -- Peter Ackroyd - The Times"Alter is amazingly successful... [His] translations of many famous passages are primordially spare and dignified, the work of a scholar with an unusually sure ear for verse." -- Christopher Tayler - The Guardian"In each of the Biblical books in this volume a balance of explanation, translation and commentary is offered. In each of them the reader is made a partner in an adventure of scholarship and clarification which is both rare and exemplary." -- Eavan Boland - The Irish Times"Robert Alter's new translation of the Hebrew Bible draws out the literariness of the text." -- Prospect"Most Biblical translations are teamwork; the so-called King James Version of the Bible was produced by forty-seven English churchmen. But Alter has, like Dr. Johnson with his dictionary, tackled the job on his own. The accomplishment, two decades in the making, is almost absurdly impressive. One wants to call it titanic or Olympian or even heroic, but those are the wrong words—pagan words. Alter will have to settle for one of the God-fearing Hebraic terms of praise that stipple his text: “righteous” or “strong” or, simply, “wise." -- Adam Gopnik - The New Yorker"... truly magnificent translation... Mr. Alter’s sense of the original’s beauty and his representation of it may be different—rougher, blunter, more jagged, not so stately—but his translation is all the more compelling for that." -- The Wall Street Journal"A monumental new translation of the Hebrew Bible." -- The Economist"To translate the Bible into English in the early 17th century, King James approved a team of more than 50... When you think of these translating battalions, it puts into perspective the achievement of Robert Alter... Stretching to more than 3,000 pages including a commentary to enhance readers’ appreciation of the text, it appears in three splendid volumes matching the traditional division of the Tanach— into Torah, Nevi’im, Prophets, and Ketuvim, the Writings (which include Proverbs, Psalms and the Megillot)." -- The Jewish Chronicle"... both the translation and the commentary show that it is possible for one person to master the whole Hebrew Bible in a coherent and consistent way, and to shed light on both its style and its contents. Unusually for a consciously “literary” translation, Alter’s work would also be usable as a study Bible, because it adheres so closely to the Hebrew, and even for liturgical reading since (unlike so many modern versions) it attends to the rhythms and cadences of the original. No one, whatever their religious tradition, can afford to ignore what will surely become a classic version." -- Jewish Quarterly"Speaking of foundational works! The top spot this year, the best work in translation of 2018, is this magnificent culmination of twenty years' work: Robert Alter's complete translation of the Hebrew Bible, with lively and learned commentary throughout. All the joy and exploration of Alter's previously-published sections of this epic undertaking glow even brighter now that the work is complete." -- The Best Books of 2018: Works in Translation! - Open Letters Review"The completion of Robert Alter's decades-long exercise in translating the entire Hebrew Bible is both a monumental event and achievement. Arguably, this is the most significant Hebrew and Jewish Studies publication of the 20th century, and certainly the 21st." -- Church Times
