God In The Desert
$28.99Find Meaning in the Wilderness through Scripture and Spiritual Practice
The desert is a place of paradox. In the desert we encounter silence and revelation, hunger and provision, barrenness and abundance, absence of God and intimate awareness of God’s presence. The image of wilderness is a key theme in Scripture, from Abraham, Moses, and the prophets to Jesus. And throughout church history, people of faith have found it to be a useful metaphor for the spiritual life.
In God in the Desert, Old Testament scholar and spiritual director Noel Forlini Burt explores Old Testament wilderness narratives in conversation with wise voices from throughout church history, bridging the gap between biblical studies and spiritual formation. Journeying through stories such as Hagar, Elijah, and the Israelites at Sinai, each chapter also engages with figures like the desert fathers and mothers, Parker Palmer, Henri Nouwen, Richard Rohr, and Eugene Peterson.
God in the Desert:
*connects biblical studies and spiritual formation,
*traces the theme of wilderness in the Old Testament and its implications for Christians, and
*combines scholarly depth with practical and inspiring spiritual reflection.In this book, you’ll walk through key themes and practices in spiritual formation like solitude, rebirth, prayer, spiritual reading, attachment, and how they can nurture the souls of readers today. Connecting biblical texts to her own experiences and those of Christians across time, Forlini Burt unpacks how wilderness can still be a place of transformation as God’s people respond to the God of the desert. Whether you’re a scholar, student, pastor, or spiritual formation practitioner, you’ll find deep engagement with the Scriptures and spiritual wisdom for the Christian life in God in the Desert.

Pauls Gospel In Romans
$22.99In this book, Jarvis J. Williams argues that Paul’s gospel in Romans is the announcement of good news that by Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, God has fulfilled all his redemptive promises for Jews, Gentiles, and the world. He further argues that Paul’s gospel has at least three dimensions: vertical, horizontal, and cosmic.
Williams explains that the starting point for Paul’s gospel is Christ’s cross and resurrection. The vertical dimension refers to the saving benefits Jews and Gentiles receive from God through faith in Jesus, including justification by faith, forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, and the salvation of all the elect within Israel. The horizontal aspect relates to individual and relational transformation of those in Christ. Through the Spirit, God transforms those who have died with Christ to live a righteous life in the power of the resurrection, which enables both unity between Jews and Gentiles in Christ and their love for their neighbors. The cosmic component relates to the liberation of the entire creation from its slavery to sin’s power. This liberation includes a bodily resurrection, the transformation of the current universe, and a future inheritance of a new creation for all Jews and Gentiles whom God has redeemed in Christ.
This fresh articulation and defense of Pauline theology from an evangelical perspective will be useful for seminary students, scholars, pastors, and study groups.

From Genesis To Junia
$19.99Starting from a place of genuine searching, bestselling author Preston Sprinkle challenges assumptions and models gracious theological inquiry in this thoughtful exploration of what the Bible says about women in church leadership.
What does the Bible really say about women serving in positions of leadership in the church? It’s one of the church’s most debated and divisive topics.

*A model for navigating controversial topics in the churchThis open-hearted approach to a complex issue offers a healthy example for dialoguing about tough theological questions.

Gods Homecoming : The Forgotten Promise Of Future Renewal
$32.99A defining major work from today’s leading Bible scholar: N. T. Wright traces the biblical promise of God’s care for the future, offering authentic hope in a chaotic age.
Many devout believers have been lured into the classic misunderstanding that Christianity teaches how we must leave earth and go somewhere else to be with God. But this outlook dangerously suggests that God created a world he loves only to abandon it. Nothing could be further from the scriptural truth, N. T. Wright contends. In God’s Homecoming, Wright excavates the forgotten story of God’s original purpose to dwell with us and make his home–and ours–in this new creation.
In his groundbreaking Surprised by Hope, Wright dismantled the “going to heaven” narrative. In God’s Homecoming, he returns with a panoramic pilgrimage tracing God’s homecoming promise from Genesis through Revelation. When we read the Bible as a whole, Wright argues, we do not find a narrative of souls ascending a spiritual ladder to heaven, but of God coming down to dwell with us.
Revolutionary and grounded in biblical research, Wright leads readers through the movements of the promise: God created heaven and earth to be his own home, he filled the temple with his presence, then the church with the Holy Spirit, and promises that the all creation will again be filled with his glory. He traces how the popular Christian reading got it wrong–as well as the radical transformation that awaits us and the church today if we return to God’s original vision.
Until we recover this forgotten story, Wright warns, we will keep distorting the Bible’s message. Yet, he argues, its recovery could be the key to revitalizing every aspect of Christian life as we know it: prayer, mission, evangelism, pastoral practice, and personal devotion.

Art Of Narrative Analogy
$83.31In The Art of Narrative Analogy, Seth Postell offers a literary approach for understanding the relationship between the two Testaments, and between various biblical narratives, that is more sensitive to the verbal meaning of the Old Testament than popular typological approaches. He argues that narrative analogy–the deliberate paralleling of characters, events, and themes across biblical texts–provides a more exegetically responsible and theologically fruitful method for understanding the Bible’s unity and depth.
Drawing on extensive examples from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, Postell reveals how scriptural authors employ parallels to illuminate theological truths and deepen narrative coherence. From the connections between Rahab and Lot to the analogies between Jonah and the calming of the storm in Mark’s Gospel, he shows how these parallels invite readers into the Bible’s grand theological narrative. Postell also integrates illustrations from modern storytelling, such as Star Wars, to demonstrate how analogy shapes meaning in both ancient and contemporary contexts.
Postell offers clear criteria for identifying narrative analogies, and practical guidance for interpreting them, making this volume an indispensable resource for students, pastors, and church leaders.

Torah Mosaic : Introducing The Pentateuch In Its Complex Unity
$83.31The Pentateuch lays an important literary and theological foundation for the rest of Scripture, so it’s important that readers correctly understand its intended message. While seeing the Pentateuch’s unity, many Western readers miss its complexity and thus an aspect of its meaning. In this book, Tracy McKenzie unfolds the complex process of organization, development, and composition of these five books, which was done in a literary world different from our own. He emphasizes the composite unity of the Pentateuch while guiding readers through its discrete literary units.
This accessible and concise introduction models close reading of the text, observing elements such as genre, innerbiblical exegesis, unifying language, and literary features. McKenzie shows that it is appropriate to appreciate the Pentateuch’s complexity while maintaining faith in its unified message and divine authority. Each chapter concludes with relevant interpretive, theological, and practical insights. The aim is to sharpen readers’ powers of interpretation and to expand their comprehension of the Pentateuch’s message and theology, which the author suggests concerns God’s future people under his king’s reign and authority.
This supplemental textbook will be useful to students in Old Testament courses and will also appeal to pastors and church leaders.
