Bird Retail Price: $24.95 HP Item Number: 564341 ISBN: 9781598564341 ISBN-13: 9781598564341 What was the extent and nature of Jewish proselytizing activity amongst non-Jews in Palestine and the Greco-Roman diaspora leading up to and during the beginnings of the Christian era?

 Christianity, Climate Change, and Sustainable LivingNick Spencer Retail Price: $16.95 HP Item Number: 562293 ISBN: 9781598562293 ISBN-13: 9781598562293 What should Christians do to protect the Earth and its people?
Amounts and patterns of consumption and production in the West have reached a level that cannot be maintained. Lifestyles based on our present way of creating and using energy are no longer environmentally sustainable—and are threatening the health and well-being of both planet and people. Our activities and the policies that shape them need to change. In light of those realities, Spencer, White, and Vroblesky offer serious Christian engagement with the emerging issue of Sustainable Consumption and Production. They analyze the scientific, sociological, economic, and theological thinking that makes a Christian response to these trends imperative and distinctive. And they offer practical conclusions that explore and explain what can be done at the personal, community, national, and international levels to ensure that next generations will have the resources necessary for life.

 The Jewish Targums and John’s Logos TheologyJohn Ronning Retail Price: $29.95 HP Item Number: 563061 ISBN: 9781598563061 ISBN-13: 9781598563061 At the beginning of his gospel, John refers to Jesus Christ as the Logos—the “Word.” John Ronning makes a case that the Jewish Targums—interpretive translations of the Old Testament into Aramaic that were read in synagogues—hold the key to understanding John’s Logos title. Examining numerous texts in the fourth gospel in the light of the Targums, Ronning shows how connecting the Logos with the targumic Memra (word) unlocks the meaning of a host of theological themes that run throughout the Gospel of John. |

 Paul, His Letters, and ActsThomas E. Phillips Retail Price: $24.95 HP Item Number: 560018 ISBN: 9781598560015 ISBN-13: 9781598560015 Aside from Jesus, the Apostle Paul had the greatest formative influence on the early Christian movement. Yet who was this passionate missionary who carried the message of Christ throughout the Mediterranean world? The New Testament writings give us not one but two portraits of Paul. We read numerous details of Paul’s life and relationships in the Book of Acts, and we also find an additional set of details about Paul’s activities in his letters. Yet how consistent are these two portraits? And which one gives us the most accurate picture of the historical Paul? In this volume Thomas E. Phillips examines the portrayals of Paul in recent biblical scholarship in the light of these two major NT portraits. Believing the apostolic conference at Jerusalem to be a watershed event, Phillips draws conclusions that help contemporary readers get a more accurate picture of Paul. |

 Analytical Lexicon to the SeptuagintExpanded Edition Bernard Taylor Retail Price: $44.95 HP Item Number: 635167 ISBN: 9781565635166 ISBN-13: 9781565635166 The Septuagint—the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible—was an influential translation for Jews and Christians of the first century. When the New Testament writers quoted the Old Testament, they most often used the Septuagint (abbreviated LXX) translation. Thus the vocabulary and thought forms of the LXX had a significant impact on the development of New Testament theology. Although the LXX and the New Testament were both written in Koiné Greek, much of their vocabulary and word forms are different. Thus students and scholars who desire to read the LXX need a reliable reference guide that will help them decode the host of word forms and meanings that go beyond New Testament Greek. |

Bird Retail Price: $19.95 HP Item Number: 564297 ISBN: 9781598564297 ISBN-13: 9781598564297 The Faith of Jesus Christ represents an attempt to grapple with one of the most perplexing problems in Pauline studies, namely that of the phrase pistis christou. |
