Aleksander Krogevoll offers the first extensive study on El Shadday. This includes the most thorough review of all etymologies proposed for Shadday and the most extensive examination on the use and meaning of Shadday in the Hebrew Bible. The author challenges the views that Shadday was unique to the Priestly source or that Priestly source invented the epithet. He supports the etymology of Shaddai being the Akkadian adu, "mountain." By tracing the epithet adu from Akkadian where it was attached to Enlil and Dagan to the Ugaritic El, Krogevoll presents a new hypothesis for how Shadday was introduced into Hebrew. This work is the first book-length study on the equation between El Shadday and Yahweh. Other scholars have proposed that their shared mountain motifs played a part in the equation, but this work is the first study to examine the equation through the lens of the shared mountain motifs at length.

Jerome (c. 347-419), one of the Wests four doctors of the church, was recognized early on as one of the churchs foremost translators, commentators and advocates of Christian asceticism. Skilled in Hebrew and Greek in addition to his native Latin, he was thoroughly familiar with Jewish traditions and brought them to bear on his understanding of the Old Testament. In 405 Jerome completed his Latin translation of the Old Testament, based on the Hebrew text, and not long afterward began to work on commentaries devoted to the major prophets--Daniel (407), Isaiah (408-410), Ezekiel (410-414), culminating with Jeremiah but reaching only through chapter 32 before his death in 419.Throughout the commentary Jerome displays his familiarity with both Hebrew and Greek texts of Jeremiah, often establishing the literal meaning through the Hebrew text and offering a spiritual interpretation that draws on the Septuagint. He frequently interacts with other translations known from Origens Hexapla. Jeromes extensive education in the classics and Jewish tradition as well as in both Antiochene and Alexandrian exegesis shine through the commentary at every point. Here for the first time Michael Graves supplies readers with a highly readable translation in English, useful textual notes and a helpful introduction.Ancient Christian Texts are new English translations of full-length commentaries or sermon series from ancient Christian authors that allow you to study key writings of the early church fathers in a fresh way.

In the translators introduction to this volume, James Kellerman relates the following story:As Thomas Aquinas was approaching Paris, a fellow traveler pointed out the lovely buildings gracing that city. Aquinas was impressed, to be sure, but he sighed and stated that he would rather have the complete Incomplete Commentary on Matthew than to be mayor of Paris itself.Thomass affection for the work attests its great popularity during the Middle Ages, despite its significant missing parts--everything beyond the end of Matthew 25, with further gaps of Matthew 8:11--10:15 and 13:14--18:35. Although there are gaps, what remains is quite lengthy, so much so that we offer the work in two volumes, comprising fifty-four homilies.While the early-fifth-century author displays a few Arian propensities in a handful of passages, for the most part the commentary is moral in nature and therefore orthodox and generic. The unknown author, who for several centuries was thought to be John Chrysostom, follows the allegorizing method of the Alexandrians, but not by overlooking the literal meaning. His passion, above all, is to set forth the meaning of Matthews Gospel for his readers.Here, for the first time, this ancient work is made available in English, ably translated by James A. Kellerman and edited by Thomas C. Oden.Ancient Christian Texts are new English translations of full-length commentaries or sermon series from ancient Christian authors that allow you to study key writings of the early church fathers in a fresh way.

Tackle Key Questions from the Past Two Decades in this Fully Updated EditionEngage with the latest scholarship on the biblical theology of mission and missional hermeneutics with Christopher J. H. Wrights classic textnow fully revised and updated!Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that there is a missional basis for the Bible itself. The entire Bible is generated by and is all about Gods mission. In order to understand the Scriptures, we need a missional hermeneutic, an interpretive perspective in sync with the beating heart of its great mission.Wright gives us a new hermeneutical perspective on Scripture through an understanding of: Who God is What he has called his people to be and do How the nations fit into Gods mission In this revised edition of The Mission of God, Wright extends his classic discussion to consider the ways that the conversation on missional hermeneutics has developed since its original publication. With fully updated citations and additional chapters focused on gospel-centered holistic mission and on the issue of election and supersessionism, this new edition addresses the questions, criticisms, and insights that have emerged during the intervening two decades.Gods mission is to reclaim the world, and Gods people have a designated role to play. Whether youre a pastor, scholar, or student, The Mission of God will benefit your understanding of how the Bible shapes the story and purpose of Gods people.

From the crisis of the Babylonian exile to the rise of rabbinic Judaism--a span of over six hundred years--the Jewish people produced a wealth of literature that lies outside the Hebrew Bible. Today it goes under names such as apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, Josephus and Philo, apocalyptic literature and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mishnah and targums. But line by line, scroll by scroll, it represents the history and theology, the hopes and prayers of a living and diverse Judaism. It is an engrossing subject in and of itself, but for students of the New Testament it offers an invaluable context for understanding the words and actions of Jesus as well as the conversion and thinking of Paul.Exploring Jewish Literature of the Second Temple Period is an introduction to this literature and places it within its historical context. Riding the explosive growth of knowledge of this period, Larry R. Helyer guides students to the heart of the matter. What were the pressures and realities, the questions and dreams that nurtured and provoked these written expressions? And how does this literature throw light on the text of the New Testament and origins of Christianity?

Discover the story of salvation in Christ through Levitical ritualsAtonement lies at the heart of the Christian faith. In Christs work of atonement, we are reconciled to God, enabled to draw near to him, and can see his glory. Through studying the Levitical burnt offering, Roy McDaniel takes readers on a deep exploration of Leviticus 1:1-9 in this thought-provoking volume, part of the Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture series from IVP Academic. Using elements of narrative analysis like setting, plot, and hero, McDaniel shows how the Levitical burnt offering is a ritual recapitulation of the narrative of Israels election and deliverance as depicted in Genesis and Exodus, and how in doing so, it proclaims the atoning work of Christ.At the heart of this work lies the "logic" of atonement, present in the Levitical burnt offering, an idea that contributes to the doctrine of atonement by demonstrating how Christs incarnate sacrifice is rooted in his eternal identity as God the Son.In Enacting Atonement, Roy McDaniel: Provides a coherent account of atonement centered on the eternal identity of the Son, Shows how Levitical sacrifice can inform the churchs doctrine of atonement by modeling a careful theological exegesis of Leviticus, and Explores questions about the meaning of sacrifice and its relationship to the being and attributes of God. Whether youre a scholar, student, pastor-theologian, or a layperson seeking deeper understanding, Enacting Atonement invites you to uncover the rich tapestry of Gods redemptive narrative in the Levitical ritual.

Does the Septuagint have authority for the church today?Numerous scholars have explored what the Septuagint is and its history and uses, but less scholarship has engaged with the ways it exercises authority within the Christian tradition. In the first multicontributor volume of its kind, biblical scholars Greg Lanier and Will Ross bring together experts from a variety of disciplines to explore the nature of the Septuagints authority over the ages.Discover fresh insights from experts across disciplinesincluding Old Testament, New Testament, patristics, systematic theology, historical theology, and moreinto whether and how the Septuagint holds authority for todays church. With clarity and depth, this helpful addition to Septuagint studies will expand the conversation of how Christians should understand the Septuagint both in the academy and in the church.This book seeks: To explore the "authority" question from multiple perspectives. To examine how the early church, Reformers, and systematic (Protestant and Catholic) theologians view the Septuagint. To disentangle the NTs frequent use of the Septuagint from its perceived status as authoritative or "canonical". Whether youre a scholar, theologian, pastor, or seminary student, The Authority of the Septuagint is an invitation to engage with the Septuagint, its history, and its significance for the church today.

What are we to make of Isaiahs image of Mount Zion as the highest of the mountains, or Zechariahs picture of the Mount of Olives split in two, or Daniels "beast rising out of the sea" or Revelations "great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns"? How can Peter claim that on the day of Pentecost the prophecy of Joel was being fulfilled, with signs in heaven and wonders on earth, the sun turned to darkness and the moon to blood?The language and imagery of biblical prophecy has been the source of puzzlement for many Christians and a point of dispute for some. How ironic that is! For the prophets and seers were the wordsmiths of their time. They took pains to speak Gods word clearly and effectively to their contemporaries.How should we, as citizens of the twenty-first century, understand the imagery of this ancient biblical literature? Are there any clues in the texts themselves, any principles we can apply as we read these important but puzzling biblical texts?D. Brent Sandy carefully considers the language and imagery of prophecy and apocalyptic, how it is used, how it is fulfilled within Scripture, and how we should read it against the horizon of our future. Clearly and engagingly written, Plowshares and Pruning Hooks is the kind of book that gives its readers a new vantage point from which to view the landscape of prophetic and apocalyptic language and imagery.

Its almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding Gods character and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God.In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms and prophetic texts of the Old Testament. God is acknowledged as tender yet terrifying, challenging to the nations and yet intimately personal, offering loving care, provision, discipline and forgiveness.This is the God whom Jesus knew, and whom we can know, as Father. Such knowledge of God is far from merely devotional or doctrinal, but governs our worldview, personal and social ethics, and expectations of the future.

Beginning with the rise of modern Pentecostalism before tracking back 2,500-years, author and academic Gavin Evans traces the history of the Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. In this book he explores the New Testament, Hebrew Bible and the Quran.Delving into recent archaeological research, Bible Stories presents evidence that tales such as those of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and also Moses, Joshua and the Exodus, were entirely mythological. Robust interrogation of the evidence allows Evans to go further still, casting doubt on the Jesus story and arguing that even if he did exist as an historical figure, we know next to nothing about him.As well as examining these key religious texts, Bible Stories also holds modern atheism to account - critiquing the work of some of its most ardent advocates, Evans rejects a militant approach and makes a compelling argument for a softer, more tolerant atheism.

Justin Brierley cree firmemente que estamos experimentando una creciente ola de fe en nuestra época. La narrativa cristiana, que durante siglos moldeó a Occidente, fue célebremente descrita como "el largo rugido en retirada" del "Mar de la Fe". Sin embargo, el avance del secularismo, que parecia haberla reemplazado, podria no ser el capitulo final de esta historia.Una conversacion con el periodista agnostico Douglas Murray inspiro a Brierley a investigar si se avecinaba un cambio significativo. Durante su charla, Murray reflexiono sobre el "Mar de la Fe" y señalo que las mareas parecian estar cambiando, mencionando que varios de sus amigos intelectuales habian abrazado el cristianismo en los ultimos años. Esta observacion coincidia con lo que Brierley estaba observando entre los pensadores seculares que habia entrevistado. Figuras como Jordan Peterson, Tom Holland y Dave Rubin, entre otros, han mostrado interes por la continua relevancia del cristianismo, sumandose a conversaciones sobre la fe.En su analisis, Brierley aborda tendencias y conceptos culturales clave como: La crisis del significado; intelectuales publicos que descubren la fe; por que la narrativa cristiana parece lista para un resurgimiento; y mucho mas.En El increible resurgimiento de la creencia en Dios, Brierley narra la caida del Nuevo Ateismo y el surgimiento de un renovado dialogo sobre la fe. Explora como Dios vuelve a ocupar un lugar central en debates sobre la ciencia, la historia, la cultura y el proposito humano. Aunque muchas personas estan regresando al cristianismo, surge una pregunta crucial: ¿esta preparada la iglesia para recibir esta nueva ola de fe?
