Enduring Treasure
He said to them, 'Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.' (Matthew 13:52) Many Christians hardly ever read the Old Testament of the Bible, thinking it somehow less important than the New Testament. Yet there are many topics in the Old Testament which remain vitally important for believers today. In this book Dr Pieter Lalleman argues that the Old Testament is more than just a series of predictions about the coming of Jesus! The first part of the Bible is an Enduring Treasure, of lasting value for the Christian church, and as such it must continue to play an important role in our personal faith. Rev Dr Pieter J. Lalleman is Tutor in Biblical Studies at Spurgeon's College, London. His previous works include: The Lion and the Lamb: Studies on the Book of Revelation, The Acts of John, A Critical Companion to the Bible, and an entry in The Encyclopedia of Ancient History.
In the Power of the Resurrection
The Book of Acts is matchless. The New Testament contains four Gospels and a whole collection of letters, but Acts provides a unique bridge between these two groups. It records how the good news about Jesus ended up with the people to whom the letters were alter written, and how the apostles formed congregations of followers of Jesus everywhere. This easy to read collection of studies on the book of Acts is suitable for all readers, by a respected biblical scholar. Dr. Pieter J. Lalleman takes the reader step by step through some of the key events in the early history of the Christian church, to discover what their message means for us today.
The Lion and the Lamb
Do you find Revelation hard to understand? Help is at hand! This book is an easy to read introduction to the book of Revelation, suitable for all readers, by a respected biblical scholar. Dr Pieter J. Lalleman takes the reader step by step through the challenges of the Bible's last and most notoriously difficult to understand book.
The Reformation
The papers in this volume are less a commemoration of the Reformation than a discussion of its meaning in the era after 2017. What is celebrated in 2017 is not the Reformation as such, but the beginning of the Reformation. It was the dynamics of the "new" theology of Luther and Calvin that caused a radical change with global effects. Reformation is not just an historical event but an ongoing movement of renewal and change. The message of the Reformation constantly challenges us to think through positions, actions, attitudes, and programs. This book presents contributions from eleven experts from all over Europe, who deal with their various topics on the conviction that the essence of Luther's theology does not need to be adapted to make it relevant. The papers originated at the 2016 conference of the Fellowship of European Evangelical Theologians, which was held in Lutherstadt Wittenberg.
Challenging to change
On 13 May 2009 Dr Nigel G. Wright celebrated his sixtieth birthday. For this occasion friends and colleagues presented him with a Festschrift which reflects his career as a radical baptist leader and theologian. Over the past decades he has played a leading role in the Baptist movement in Britain and worldwide. The contributors to Challenging to change: dialogues with a radical baptist theologian interact with aspects of Wright’s activities and writings so far. The spelling of baptist with a small b in the subtitle of this book reflects Wright’s own usage: baptist refers to the broader tradition of believers’ churches stemming from the radical wing of the European Reformation to which not only ‘Baptist’ churches belong but also Anabaptist, Brethren, Pentecostals, Restorationists and others. This book makes a valuable contribution to the thinking of all baptists about issues such as ministry, Church and state, church planting and evangelical identity. In particular pastors, other church leaders and students will profit hugely from it - and they will be encouraged to pick up Nigel Wright’s own books.
Grounded in Grace
On 9 January 2013 Dr. Ian M. Randall celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday. For this occasion, some friends and colleagues presented him with a Festschrift which reflects his achievements as a church historian with a particular interest in the Evangelical movement and spirituality. It also mirrors his involvement with theological training in central and eastern Europe. Over the last twenty years Dr. Randall has also established himself as a leading historian of the Baptist churches in Europe. The contributions to Grounded in Grace interact with his areas of interest: Baptists, the Anabaptist movement, Evangelicalism and spirituality. This book makes a valuable contribution to thinking in all these areas. Scholars, pastors, other church leaders and students will profit hugely from it. It contains a short biography and a bibliography of Ian’s publications.

The Acts of John
This study was defended as a dissertation in Groningen (1998). The first monograph in the series, it studies the Acts of John in its second-century context and sheds new light on the text, which was probably written in Asia Minor before the year 150 AD. Lalleman shows that both the Gnostic and the non-Gnostic sections of the Acts of John owe much more to the canonical books of the New Testament than has been assumed. The enigma of the Gnostic section is solved by the discovery that it forms the second stage of initiation into a Gnostic form of Christianity. Read in this way, both sections of the Acts of John turn out to be important steps on the trajectory from the Fourth Gospel to Gnosticism. Penetrating investigations of the Christology and the attitude towards asceticism in the Acts of John complete the book.
