The Perilous Sayings
Dr Amos Winarto Oei brings fresh clarity and understanding of the antitheses of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount. Providing a thorough evaluation of key historical and contemporary interpretations of Matthew 5:21–48 from notable theologians, Oei illustrates the unity surrounding the teachings of Jesus, even among disparate denominational traditions. Dr Oei also addresses whether the ethics Jesus set out in the antitheses are for Christians only, or whether they are demands for all individuals and also the state. This book is the product of extensive theological research and sound exegesis and presents a clear argument of the universal nature and individual scope of the ethics and morality of the most famous sermon ever preached.
The Sermon on the Mount and the Ewes of Ghana
Using socio-rhetorical interpretation to study Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount, the book explores the contextual interpretation of the sermon among the Ghana-Ewe. The book argues that the Sermon on the Mount can be viewed as Jesus’ new kingdom gospel and a reinterpretation of the Mosaic law, teaching not only ethics but also kingdom-appropriate righteousness for theological and ethical renewal. Kingdom-appropriate righteousness is nurtured through daily exchanges with God, leading to habitual forgiveness and subsequent divine perfection of love for God and one’s enemies. In the contemporary context, kingdom-appropriate righteousness challenges the deficient, “compulsory-wealth” (prosperity gospel) Christianity that is promoted in contemporary Ghana and elsewhere.
Divine Violence and the Character of God
There is much violence in the Old Testament, both human and divine. Christians and non-Christians react differently to what they read about the God of the Old Testament. Some people are so affected by the violence found in the Old Testament that they give up on God, stop going to church and reading the Bible, and eventually lose their faith. Others are offended by divine violence and seek to find an alternative explanation for the violent acts of God in the Old Testament. A popular alternative in the twenty-first century is to return to the second century and adopt some form of Marcionism and make the God of the Old Testament to be a different God from the God revealed by Christ in the New Testament. The purpose of this book is not a defense of God and his use of violence. The author seeks to understand why God acted the way he did and to understand the reason for divine violence in the Old Testament. Yahweh did use violence in his work of reconciliation. However, the use of violence was necessary when everything else failed. Israel provoked God to anger. When God brought judgment upon his people, he did so with tears in his eyes.
The Shema and John 10
The Shema is arguably the most important creed the Jews, including the Christian Jews, ever have. Its importance can also be seen in the texts of the New Testament. This book attempts to explore the Shema’s influence over the Gospel of John, especially the oneness language of that Gospel. Using John 10 as a sample, this book argues that the Shema helps us to understand the richness of the text, both theologically and contextually.
Divine Suffering
Divine Suffering is an inter-disciplinary study that draws from systematics, philosophy, biblical theology, and pastoral experience. In addition to covering topics like the suffering of the Father in the Son and God's cruciform vulnerability, this book also explores how divine suffering animates the Christian gospel and resonates in the ongoing persecution of believers. The study of the suffering God has everything to do with Theology, History, and Church Mission. Like exploring a cathedral from all its entrances, both scholars and seekers will find ample opportunity for theological challenge, biblical insight, and missional hope. To accomplish this, both Scripture and doctrine are closely i...

Buku Ajar Bahasa Yunani Perjanjian Baru: Sebuah Pembelajaran Bahasa Yunani Tingkat Lanjut
Buku Ajar Yunani Perjanjian Baru disusun dengan tujuan untuk menolong para mahasiswa menerapkan berbagai pemahaman bahasa Yunani yang telah mereka peroleh di masa lalu dalam eksegesis atau penggalian Alkitab. Walaupun buku ajar ini juga akan mengulang secara ringkas berbagai pemahaman tersebut, buku ini tidaklah seharusnya dipandang sebagai sebuah kompetitor terhadap studi-studi bahasa Yunani lainnya. Meski kritik yang dapat timbul terhadap buku-buku ajar semacam ini adalah bahaya ‚mengabaikan pohon demi hutannya‛ (missing the trees for the forest), buku ini sebenarnya hadir untuk melengkapi sehingga tidak dapat dipisahkan atau dianggap dapat berdiri sendiri terlepas dari studi-studi bahasa Yunani yang telah ada dan dipakai oleh banyak pihak.
