An Introduction to the Old Testament

Tremper Longman III, Raymond B. Dillard 

Features points of research history and representative scholars rather than an exhaustive treatment of past scholarship, deals with the meaning of each book, not in isolation but in a canonical context, and probes the meaning of each book in the setting of its culture.

 bible doctrine

Bible Doctrine

Wayne Grudem

How do we know the Bible is God's Word? What is sin and where did it come from? How is Jesus fully God and fully man? What are spiritual gifts? When and how will Christ return? If you've asked questions like these, then "systematic theology" is no abstract term. It's an approach to finding answers every Christian needs to know.

 God Has Spoken  J I Packer

God Has Spoken

J I Packer 

At no time since the Reformation, observes JI Packer, have protestant christians as a body been so unsure, tentative and confused as to what they should believe and do. The church has suffered a famine of hearing God's Word, and he points the way to the understanding and application of the life changing truths of the Bible.

 

 If_I_were_God_Clearer_06.225x225-75

If I were God, I'd Make Myself Clearer

John Dickson

If there really is something spiritual out there, wouldn't there be some pretty clear signposts to it? If God exists - wouldn't he have made himself clearer? Written from a Christian perspective, this book struggles honestly with a dilemma facing 'believers' and 'unbelievers' alike: With so many religions on offer, can one of them be considered true? Or are they different paths up the same spiritual mountain? And how can any one person sort out their way through the maze of claims?

 

the cross of christ 

The Cross of Christ

John Stott 

Many people are unclear about the meaning of the cross, and cannot understand why Christ had to die. John Stott explains the significance of Christ’s cross and answers the objections commonly brought against biblical teaching on the atonement. It combines an excellent biblical exposition, and a characteristically thoughtful study of Christian belief, with a searching call to the church to live under the cross. Highly recommended classic.

 

Classics of the Reformation  Kirsten Birkett  

Classics of the Reformation

Kirsten Birkett

Classics of the Reformation contains: Martin Luther's 'Freedom of the Christian' in which he argues that the true Christian is the 'perfectly free lord of all, subject to none'; and at the same time, the 'perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to all'. John Calvin's exposition of Christian prayer, thought by many to be the finest treatment of the subject ever. William Tyndale's introduction to the Scriptures, in which he explains the gist of the Bible for the common reader. Thomas Cranmer's sermons on faith, salvation and good works, which shaped the beliefs of the English Church during its Reformation.
