Interpreting The Scriptures
$21.99“What does the Bible mean?” the answer to this question are many and varied. Most Christians are agreed on the fact that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, given to be understood by them and assimilated into their lives. However, where they differ greatly is concerning the meaning of the Scripture. The differing viewpoints are virtually countless. Since one’s doctrine stems from one’s interpretation of the Bible and all interpretation is guided by various rules, it seems that the Christian community should be focusing its attention more on the field of hermeneutics – the science of interpreting Scripture. It is this need that provides the basis for this textbook on hermeneutics. This book assumes that a working knowledge of hermeneutics coupled with an illuminating unction of the Holy Spirit will enable those who interpret Scripture to come to a harmonious Knowledge of the truth.

Gospel Of Jesus
$47.00William Farmer has devoted much of his career to addressing the question of the relationship among the three Synoptic Gospels–Matthew, Mark, and Luke. In particular, Farmer has challenged the Two Source Hypothesis, which says that Mark is the earliest Gospel, and that Matthew and Luke used Mark and another document, called “Q,” as the two primary sources for their own Gospels. Instead, Farmer argues that Matthew was the Earliest Gospel, that Luke used Matthew and other traditions known to him, and that Mark used both Matthew and Luke in compiling a shorter, more ecumenical account of Jesus’ career. This competing theory is called the Two Gospel Hypothesis.

Jesus The Prophet
$40.00R. David Kaylor believes that Jesus’ vision of a just society and his prophetic engagement with social, political, and economic conditions led to his execution by the Romans. Here he presents Jesus’ message of a just society based on Israel’s covenant tradition. He shows the prophetic background and social content of Jesus’ ethical teaching and demonstrates that the parables (especially those with economic and agricultural associations) critiqued the social conditions and called for a restructuring of community life. He provides evidence that Jesus’ vision endures, offering criticism of the present and promise of the future.

Texts Under Negotiation
$31.66In TEXTS UNDER NEGOTIATION, WALTER BRUEGGEMANN issues a passionate call for a bold restructuring of the imagination of faith in our “postmodern” context. He contends that we need not construct a full alternative world, but rather to fund – to provide the pieces, materials, and resources out of which a new world can be imagined. The place of liturgy and proclamation is “a place where people come to receive new materials, or old materials freshly voiced, which will fund, feed, nurture, nourish, legitimate, and authorize a counterimagination of the world.
