  4 Portraits One Jesus Workbook (Workbook)

  $25.99

  This workbook accompanies Mark L. Strauss’s Four Portraits, One Jesus. Following the textbook’s structure, it offers readings from the Gospels, activities, and exercises designed to support the students’ learning experience and enhance their comprehension of what can be known from the Gospels about the central defining subject of Christianity, Jesus of Nazareth.

  Four Portraits, One Jesus is a thorough yet accessible introduction to the four biblical Gospels and their subject, the life and person of Jesus. Like different artists rendering the same subject using different styles and points of view, the Gospels paint four highly distinctive portraits of the same remarkable Jesus.

  With clarity and insight, Mark Strauss illuminates these four books addressing the following important areas:

  *First he addresses the nature, origin, methods for study, and historical, religious, and cultural backgrounds of the Gospels.

  *He then moves on to closer study of each narrative and its contribution to our understanding of Jesus, investigating things such as plot, characters, and theme.

  *Finally, he pulls it all together with a detailed examination of what the Gospels teach about Jesus’ ministry, message, death, and resurrection, with excursions into the quest for the historical Jesus and the historical reliability of the Gospels.

  How To Read The Bible In Changing Times

  $23.52

  Many find it difficult to take words that were written thousands of years ago and apply them to twenty-first-century life in the Western world. How do we read God’s unchanging Word in a world that is increasingly defined by change?

  How to Read the Bible in Changing Times shows everyday Christians how to interpret and apply the Scriptures regardless of time and culture. Rather than seeing the Bible as a magic answer book, a list of commands to obey, or a series of promises to claim, this insightful book allows the Bible to retain its identity as a complex, inspired document while showing that the truth it contains is relevant and life-changing. It shows the reader how to:
  *determine the meaning of the text in its original context
  *identify culturally relative features
  *understand what the text teaches about God, his will, and his purposes
  *apply the truths discovered to contemporary life situations

  It even shows readers how to discern God’s will on the many modern issues that the Bible does not directly address.
