The Undercover Messiah and His Coming Kingdom
What a profound mystery! An undercover Messiah? While an undercover agent may assume a deceptive identity, an “undercover boss” assumes an identity that is merely unrecognized. The concept of an undercover Messiah suggests that he assumed a role that was largely unanticipated, though it was prophesied centuries earlier in Israel’s Scriptures. Messiah was to come as the Prophet like Moses, the Priest like Melchizedek, and the King like David. Yet in his role as the Prophet, he went largely unrecognized—in his day and today. Changing water to wine may seem undramatic, but Moses’s first miracle in Egypt was changing water to blood, symbolizing judgment and death. Jesus changed water to wine, symbolizing the joy of redemption. With this, Jesus presented his calling card. After his resurrection, when Jesus encountered his confused and disheartened disciples, he began with Moses! This book unpacks Jesus as Prophet, Priest, and King and the kingdom he will establish as the future inheritance of believers. With insights drawn from the latest scholarly research, it offers relevant, life-changing wisdom for these turbulent times.
The Lost One
Often typecast as a menacing figure, Peter Lorre achieved Hollywood fame first as a featured player and later as a character actor, trademarking his screen performances with a delicately strung balance between good and evil. His portrayal of the child murderer in Fritz Lang’s masterpiece M (1931) catapulted him to international fame. Lang said of Lorre: “He gave one of the best performances in film history and certainly the best in his life.” Today, the Hungarian-born actor is also recognized for his riveting performances in The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The Maltese Falcon (1941), and Casablanca (1942). Lorre arrived in America in 1934 expecting to shed his screen image as a villai...
Come out of Her My People
Come Out of Her My People is the summons God issues to His people to disentangle themselves from the world. Like the web of a spider the world ensnares the people of God with its allure. This book is a study of how God continues to issue His call through the encouragement and exhortation of John, the seven churches, and to those who will be alive during the Tribulation period. Never willing that anyone should perish, God uses the Book of Revelation to take hold of mankind and shake his world in order to try and get his attention.
The King James Bible After Four Hundred Years
Leading scholars chart the complex, multifaceted cultural impact of the King James Bible over its 400 years.
The Incarnate Christ and His Critics
A current, comprehensive, and clear defense of the deity of Christ. The central theological claim of Christianity, that Jesus is God incarnate, finds eager detractors across a wide spectrum--from scholars who interpret Jesus as a prophet, angel, or guru to adherents of progressive Christianity and non-Christian religions and philosophies. Yet thorough biblical scholarship strongly supports the historic Christian teaching on the deity of Christ. Authors Robert M. Bowman Jr. and J. Ed Komoszewski follow the approach of their landmark 2007 study on the same topic, Putting Jesus in His Place. They focus on five pillars of New Testament teaching, using the acronym HANDS, and demonstrate what both...
Ron Howard
Ron Howard: From Mayberry to the Moon... and Beyond, the first full-length biography of Ron Howard, takes an in-depth look at the Oklahoma boy who gained national fame as a child star, then grew up to be one of Hollywood's most admired directors. Although many show biz kids founder as they approach adulthood, Ron Howard had the advantage of brains, common sense, and two down-to-earth parents who kept him from having an inflated view of his own accomplishments. He also had a longstanding goal: to trade the glare of the spotlight for a quieter but equally creative life behind the camera. This biography tracks his career from 1960, when he debuted as six-year-old Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show through 2002, when he accepted his Academy Award® as Best Director for A Beautiful Mind. Author Beverly Gray, an entertainment industry veteran, has spoken to teachers, friends, and professional colleagues from all phases of Howard's career. She has also combed the archives to gain further insight into this very private man whose accomplishments have brought pleasure to so many.
A Tidy Faith
A Tidy Faith is distinctive as a work of systematic theology in that it comes out of a Reformed Baptist stable: this is especially relevant for the sections on the church, worship, and the sacraments. Bayes seeks to lay the biblical foundation for each doctrinal subject, using an exegetical approach rather than merely citing prooftexts. For each doctrine, he also outlines the teaching of the early Christian creeds and the confessions of faith dating from the Reformation period, as well as referring to a small selection of modern statements of faith from different countries. Debates and interpretations of the various doctrines from different points in church history are summarized, and at the end of the exposition of every doctrinal theme, there is a section that emphasizes its practical application. This ensures that the book is not merely abstract and academic but has real down-to-earth value for Christian life and ministry.
What Is Scripture?
Analysis of the literary scheme of the letters to Timothy suggests that graphe, as it is employed in each letter, may legitimately be understood to include some of the apostolic writings that now appear in the New Testament. In affirming the Pauline authorship of the Pastoral Epistles, Swinson argues that a form of the Gospel of Luke stands as the source of the second referent of graphe in 1 Tim 5:18. Second, Swinson contends that pasa graphe in 2 Tim 3:16 includes the apostolic writings extant in Paul's day, specifically Luke's Gospel and some of Paul's own writings. These parallel lines of analysis demonstrate that Paul ascribes to his own writings and to those of his coworkers an authoritative standing equal to that of the sacred writings (ta hiera grammata) found in the Old Testament. While many questions surrounding biblical authority and the biblical canon remain, Paul's use of graphe in 1 and 2 Timothy nevertheless advances a high view of both Old Testament and New Testament Scripture.
