Jonah & Nineveh
The book of Jonah is one of the best-known yet most misunderstood books of the Bible. Although widely known for its story of the great fish, many would miss the much greater story contained within its pages. Is the story of Jonah just a fable? Should we dismiss its message as simply an outdated childrens story? Although numerous works have been written on the subject, Jonah & Nineveh will challenge the reader in a variety of ways. Who was Jonah, and why did God choose such a rebellious prophet to fulfill his mission? If the big fish is not the main focus of the story, then what is its message? Is there a hidden meaning contained within Gods choice to save the notoriously hated people of Nineveh? Whether the reader is novice or seasoned, Jonah & Nineveh is sure to enhance the understanding of any student of the book of Jonah and the Bible.
On the Shores of Perga
In approximately AD 48, the Apostle Paul, his coworker Barnabas, and Barnabas’ cousin, John Mark, boarded a ship at Seleucia and headed for Cyprus to initiate what is now known as the first Pauline missionary journey. It was during this mission that an unexpected setback occurred. Mark left Paul and Barnabas shortly after their arrival at Perga in Pamphylia and returned to Jerusalem. Throughout church history, this incident in the Book of Acts has often been overlooked or dismissed as either a mysterious or insignificant event to the story of the nascent church. But what if Luke intended for Mark’s departure to mean much more to his narrative? In On the Shores of Perga, author Erbey Galvan Valdez explores the literary and historical background behind this epic journey and discovers that Luke did not remain completely silent on this event. Was Mark’s departure meant to serve as a catalyst for one of the greatest challenges facing the early church—the Jewish-Gentile controversy? On the Shores of Perga challenges Christians to rethink the story of Acts and rediscover one of the Bible’s great leaders in John Mark.
For the Life of the World
In his previous book, Breakfast on the Beach, Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl retold the gospel narrative through the eyes of Simon Peter, inviting us to experience Jesus’s life and ministry anew. Now, in For the Life of the World, van der Bijl continues the story, following the disciples on their journey as they become disciple-makers and fulfil the Great Commission, expanding the kingdom of God into every corner of the earth. This book weaves together New Testament accounts from Acts and the Epistles with early church writings and tradition to give us a glimpse into the life of Peter in the aftermath of Jesus’s death, resurrection, and ascension. Once again, van der Bijl reminds u...
Galatians
This narrative commentary explores Paul’s letter to the Galatians by placing it in the larger context of Paul’s life and ministry. Combining cultural and archeological research, Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl draws together details from the book of Acts and the Pauline Epistles to offer us a unique glimpse into the real-life issues facing Paul, Barnabas, and the first-century church. While centred on the writing of Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia, the author follows Paul’s story and theological development through his early life and conversion to his ministry in Antioch and first missionary journey. By presenting Paul as a tangible, flesh and blood human, readers will better understand the message of Galatians – that there is unity and freedom to be had in Christ.
