Introducing Zondervan Academic Online Courses

As professors, your work is indispensable. Thats why, in addition to the books, videos, and teaching materials you already use
in your classrooms, we are now offering online courses. Online courses are one more resource to help students pursue robust
learning, serious scholarship, and deeply biblical thinking.

Give your students access to the best scholarship and high-quality instructional design
Zondervan Academic Online Courses have been developed in partnership with Biblemesh and Ceregotwo organizations familiar with the
challenges of developing a high-quality platform for online learning.
With Zondervan Academic Online Courses, you will get:

Courses developed by a team of skilled instructional designers, who bring years of experience in both classroom teaching and online
course design.
Courses developed by experts in the field, possessing terminal degrees in their area of study.
Courses developed with the particular needs of Christian colleges and seminaries in mind.

The structure and flow of each lesson is dictated by the content. Each lesson combines video lecture segments, reading, review, and assessment into one seamless learning experience.

Improve your teaching, so your students become better learners

Every student learns differently and at a different pace. Thats why Zondervan Academic Online Courses come with adaptive learning technology developed by Cerego.
Heres how it works.
Each unit of every course contains assessments to track student learning. As students take the assessments, the system records correct answers, incorrect answers, number of attempts to get a correct answer, elapsed time to answer each question, and much more.
As students learn the material, the system learns how each student learns, and adjusts the assessments to match the needs of each individual student as they are learning. This means each student can find the optimal balance between learning new material and reviewing already-learned concepts.
Professors get unprecedented access into data about how each student learnsin real time, as they are learning. Imagine how this can transform your teaching. Adjust tomorrows lecture based on how your students are interacting with the material today. Add group discussion to
dig deeper into concepts you want your students to remember. And if your class is struggling to understand a key concept, youll be able to
discover the problem well before the midtermnot while youre grading it.

How you can use Zondervan Academic Online Courses at your school
There are two primary ways you can use Zondervan Academic Online Courses at your school:
1. Use these courses in a flipped classroom or as a form of textbook replacement. Students view lectures and interact with readings and
assessments online on their own time. This frees up class time for discussions, group activities, or more focused time for you to lecture
on key concepts.
2. Use these courses in a fully online setting. Zondervan Academic provides you with a low-cost, easy-to-start solution. Because courses are
hosted in the cloud, there are minimal technical costs. Courses integrate with major LMS, which removes the need to learn a new system
from scratch. You will save hours every weektime you can spend in the classroom, working with students, or doing research.

THEOLOGY

What Christians Ought to Believe

An Introduction to Christian Doctrine Through the Apostles Creed
MICHAEL F. BIRD
Modern Christians have often hesitated to embrace the ancient creeds because of a nothing but the Bible tradition. In What Christians Ought to Believe, Michael Bird discusses the
importance of creeds and uses the Apostles Creed as a way to explore and understand the
basic teachings of the Christian faith.
Bringing together theological commentary, tips for application, and memorable illustrations, What Christians Ought to Believe summarizes the basic tenets of the Christian
faith using the Apostles Creed as its entryway. After first emphasizing the importance of
creeds for the formation of the Christian faith, each chapter, following the Creeds outline,
introduces the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, and the Church. An appendix includes the
Apostles Creed in the original Latin and Greek.
What Christians Ought to Believe is ideally suited for both the classroom and the church
setting to teach beginning students and laypersons the basics of what Christians ought to
affirm if they are to be called Christians.

Recent years have seen much controversy regarding hell: Do we
go to heaven or hell when we die? Or do we cease to exist? Are
believers and unbelievers ultimately saved in the end?
This second edition of Four Views on Hell, featuring all new
contributors, highlights why the church still needs to wrestle with
the doctrine of hell. In the familiar Counterpoints format, four
leading scholars introduce us to the current views on eternal
judgment, with particular attention being given to the new voices
that have entered the debate.
Contributors and views include:
Denny Burk: Eternal Conscious Torment
John Stackhouse: Terminal Punishment
Robin Parry: Universalism
Jerry Walls: Purgatory
General editor Preston Sprinkle concludes the discussion by evaluating each view, noting significant points of exchange between
the essayists. The interactive nature of the Counterpoints format
allows the reader to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of
each view and come to an informed conclusion.

The readings are persuasive; the expositions lucid; and the whole is
a compelling tour of the ways in which belief in Christ might change
our vision of our common humanity. This is a quite excellent book; I
commend it unreservedly.
STEPHEN R. HOLMES, University of St. Andrews
In Christological Anthropology in Historical Perspective, Marc
Cortez looks at the ways several key theologiansGregory of
Nyssa, Julian of Norwich, Martin Luther, Friedrich Schleiermacher,
Karl Barth, John Zizioulas, and James Conehave used Christology
to inform their understanding of the human person. Based on
this historical study, he concludes with a constructive proposal
for how Christology and anthropology should work together to
inform our view of what it means to be human.

With its scriptural alertness, its generous appropriation of elements of

classical Christian thought, and its dogmatic intelligence and scope, this
is a rewarding study of the lordly and life-giving Spirit.
JOHN WEBSTER, St. Marys College, University of St. Andrews

The Holy Spirit, by Christopher R. J. Holmes, offers a constructive systematic and contemplative account of the metaphysics of the Holy
Spirit in conversation with the engagements of Augustine, Thomas
Aquinas, and Karl Barth with the Fourth Gospel.
Holmes argues that, without serious theological reflection on the
life of the Spirit in God, we cannot truthfully describe the works of
the Spirit in relation to Father and Son. Housed within the doctrine
of the Trinity, pneumatologys joyful task is to describe the Spirits
acts among us in light of their source in the Spirits acts in God. The
end of this inquiry is our beatitudeknowledge of the Trinity that
yields to love of the Trinity.

of Toronto) is senior lecturer in systematic theology in the

The third annual Los Angeles Theology Conference sought to

address the relationship between the doctrine of atonement and
related topics in Christian theology. How does the redemptive
work of Christ relate to other load-bearing structures in dogmatic
theology? How does atonement relate to, for example, the ascension or the Eucharist?
What we think about the atonement will have implications for
what we think about other aspects of theologythe incarnation,
the order of salvation, glorification, etc. The essays in this volume
trace out the theological implications of the atonement and contribute to our understanding of the doctrine.

In Faith AloneThe Doctrine of Justification, Thomas Schreiner looks

at the historical and biblical roots of the doctrine of justification.
He summarizes the history of the doctrine, looking at the early
church and the writings of several of the Reformers. Then, he
turns his attention to the Scriptures and walks readers through an
examination of the key texts in the Old and New Testament. He
discusses whether justification is transformative or forensic and
introduces readers to some of the contemporary challenges to the
Reformation teaching of sola fide, with particular attention to the
new perspective on Paul, notably the work of N. T. Wright.
THOMAS R. SCHREINER (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) is
James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament and associate dean of Scripture and interpretation at The Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.

In Gods Glory AloneThe Majestic Heart of Christian Faith and Life,

David VanDrunen looks at the historical and biblical roots of the
idea that all glory belongs to God alone. He examines the development of this theme in the Reformation, and in subsequent Reformed
theology and confessions. Then he turns to the biblical story of
Gods glory, beginning with the pillar of cloud and fire revealed to
Israel, continuing through the incarnation, death, and exaltation of
the Lord Jesus Christ, and culminating in Christs Second Coming
and the glorification of his people. In light of these wonderful biblical
themes he concludes by addressing several of todays great cultural
challenges and temptationssuch as distraction and narcissism
and reflecting on how commitment to Gods glory alone fortifies us
to live godly lives in this present evil age.

THEOLOGY

Core Christianity
Finding Yourself in Gods Story
MICHAEL HORTON
For many people, words like doctrine and theology cause their eyes to glaze over, or they
find them difficult to understand and struggle to see how they are relevant to daily life. But
theology is far from boring; it is the study of God and should lead to awe and wonder as
we better understand who God is and what he has done for us.
In Core Christianity, author, pastor, and theologian Michael Horton tackles the essential
and basic beliefs that all Christians share. What is core to the Christian faith? In addition to
unpacking these beliefs in a way that is easy to understand, Horton shows why they matter
to our lives today.
This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is a helpful guide by a respected
theologian. Core Christianity is an ideal introduction for beginning students to deepen in
their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
MICHAEL HORTON (PhD, University of Coventry and Wycliffe Hall, Oxford) is the
J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster
Seminary California and the editor-in-chief of Modern Reformation magazine.

Visual Theology
Seeing and Understanding the Truth About God
TIM CHALLIES AND JOSH BYERS
Visual Theology is a delightful read. It combines wise knowledge of sound theology with a readable,
inviting style The visually inviting infographs in this book are very helpful in synthesizing theological concepts and showing their application to practical Christian living I am happy to commend
this book.
from the foreword by WAYNE GRUDEM, Phoenix Seminary
We live in a visual culture. Today, people increasingly rely upon visuals to help them
understand new and difficult concepts. The rise and stunning popularity of the Internet
infographic has given us a new way in which to convey data, concepts and ideas.
Visual Theology seeks to convey the concepts and principles of systematic theology in
a fresh, beautiful and informative way, making the deepest truths of the Bible accessible
in a way that can be seen and understood by a visual generation. Using graphic displays
and text that go hand-in-hand, this unique resource helps readers connect the truth of the
Bible to life change and transformation. It is a wonderful introduction to the Christian life,
a guide for understanding and living out faith. Visual Theology is an ideal classroom text to
help beginning students learn theology in a way that speaks to the visual modes of expression they are accustomed to.

The Danish philosopher, theologian, social critic, and writer is

now widely recognized as one of the worlds most profound writers and thinkers. His influence on philosophy, literature, and on
secular and religious life and thought is incalculable. He is known,
amongst other things, as the father of existentialism and as the
man who introduced the ideas of anxiety and the leap of faith
to the modern imagination. Philosophers and theologians influenced by Kierkegaard include Karl Barth, Emil Brunner, Albert
Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Thomas Merton, and numerous others.
His attack on Christianized nationalism helped inspire the pastor and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer to resist the Nazis. He has
inspired novelists such as Mann and Kafka and poets like Eliot
and Auden.
Yet he has a reputation for being fiendishly complicated,
and previous biographies have done little to disabuse casually
interested readers of this notion. This book highlights the interesting and controversial aspects of Kierkegaards life and provides brief, straightforward overviews of his key works.
STEPHEN BACKHOUSE (DPhil, University of Oxford) is the Lecturer
in Social and Political Theology at St. Mellitus College, London.
He is the author of The Compact Guide to Christian History and
Kierkegaards Critique of Christian Nationalism.

Kirk MacGregor masterfully weaves together Luis de Molinas life,

spiritual pilgrimage, theological genius, and the heritage of Molinism
he left to posterity.
CHAD MEISTER, Bethel College
In Luis de Molina: The Life and Theology of the Founder of Middle
Knowledge, Kirk R. MacGregor outlines the main contours of
Molinas subtle and far-reaching philosophical theology, covering
his views on Gods foreknowledge, salvation and predestination,
poverty and obedience, and social justice. Drawing on writings
of Molina never translated into English, MacGregor also provides
insight into the experiences that shaped Molina, recounting
the events of a life fully as dramatic as any of the Protestant
Reformers. As the first full-length work ever published on Molina,
MacGregors Luis de Molina provides an accessible and insightful
introduction for scholars, students, and armchair theologians
alike.
KIRK R. MACGREGOR (PhD, University of Iowa) teaches religion at
Carthage College in southwestern Wisconsin and teaches philosophy at the College of DuPage in suburban Chicago.

Near Christianity is an exploration of Christianity alongside Jewish

guides who are well-studied in and sympathetic to Christianity,
but only ever near Christianity. Not only did the borders created
by Jews and Judaism help to define early Christianity, even today
dialogue with Jewish teachers continues to reveal the very heart
of Christian identity.
Using his journey as a student of the New Testament, ancient
Jews, and modern Judaism, Anthony Le Donne illustrates the
value in continued Jewish friendship for the Christian life. With
the help of Jewish friends and mentors, he has embraced a deeper
and more complex Christian faith and gained a better vision not
only of the beauty and genius of Christianity, but also of its warts
and failings.
Near Christianity offers a look at Christianity from outside its
own borders and gives a chance for Christians to gain a deeper
understanding of their own faith and identity by seeing it from a
different perspective.
ANTHONY LE DONNE (PhD, University of Durham) is assistant
professor of New Testament at United Theological Seminary in

As a gay Christian myself, Im intensely interested in what Prestons

written here. I dont agree with him on everything . . . and Id say several
things differently. But more than anything, I admire the posture of this
book. It models how to have a fruitful discussion of homosexuality,
the Bible, and pastoral care in the church today.
from the foreword by WESLEY HILL
Homosexuality is one of the most divisive topics among evangelical Christians today. In People to Be Loved, Preston Sprinkle challenges those on all sides of the debate to consider what the Bible
says and how we should approach the topic of homosexuality in
light of it.
In a manner that appeals to a scholarly and lay audience alike,
he takes on difficult questions such as how should the church
treat people struggling with same-sex attraction? Is same-sex
attraction a product of biological or societal factors or both? How
should the church think about larger cultural issues, such as gay
marriage or gay pride?
Simply saying that the Bible condemns homosexuality is not
accurate, nor is it enough to end the debate. Those holding a
traditional view still struggle to reconcile the Bibles prohibition
of same-sex attraction with the message of radical, unconditional
grace. This book meets that need.

the director of the extension classes for Eternity Bible College in

offer a balanced biblical approach to counter such abuse for pastors and counselors.
Weaving together her shocking story, stories of other women,
and powerful stories of husbands who truly have demonstrated
Christs love to their wives, with reflection on biblical, theological,
historical, and contemporary issues surrounding domestic violence, she makes a compelling case for mutuality in marriage and
helps women and men become more aware of potential dangers
in a doctrine of male headship.

Few topics can grab headlines and stir passions quite like politics,
especially when the church is involved. Five Views on the Church and
Politics provides a helpful breakdown of several Christian approaches
to politics.

theologians in the book, each representing one of the five key political traditions within Christianity:
Anabaptist (Separationist)Thomas W. Heilke
Lutheran (Two Kingdom)Robert Benne
Catholic (In Tension)J. Brian Benestad
Reformed (Integrationist)James K. A. Smith
Black Church (Prophetic)Bruce L. Fields
Each contributor addresses his traditions theological distinctives, the
role of government, the place of individual Christian participation in
government and politics, and how churches should (or should not)
address political questions. Responses by contributors to opposing
views highlight key areas of difference and disagreement.

Updated and Expanded with Bonus Content

In Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, now expanded with bonus content, Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam
to Christianity.
Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim home,
Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before
discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from
the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments
but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi struggled with an
inner turmoil that will challenge Christians, Muslims, and all those
who are interested in the worlds great religions.
Engaging and thought-provoking, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus
tells a powerful story of the clash between Islam and Christianity
in one mans heart and of the peace he eventually found in Jesus.
NABEEL QURESHI is a speaker with Ravi Zacharias International
Ministries and bestselling author of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus.
He holds an MD from Eastern Virginia Medical School, an MA in
Christian apologetics from Biola University, and an MA in Religion

unveils the fundamental, enduring conflict between Islam and
Christianitydirectly addressing controversial topics like Jihad,
the Crusades, Sharia, the Trinity, and more.
Readers of Qureshis first book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, will

Paul and Money guides the reader into the apostle Pauls complex
first-century world of money, gifts and patronage. An accessible discussion of key Greek terms opens new ways for readers today to think
about Pauls views on giving.
LYNN H. COHICK, Wheaton College

This fine collection of essays is to be highly recommended for use in

the college or seminary classroom. The series of vignettes of comparison between Romans and Early Jewish sources that the volume presents is truly excellent...A wonderful and useful contribution!
MARK SEIFRID, Concordia Seminary

With deft and detailed reconstruction of all the appropriate historical background and careful exegesis of all the relevant texts, this
multigenerational duo skillfully unveil Pauls teaching and provide
incisive contemporary applications. A must read for anyone serious
about biblical stewardship.
CRAIG L. BLOMBERG, Denver Seminary

What a marvelous idea! This group of significant emerging Pauline

scholars (all with both historical and theological interests) helps us
read Romans in context by connecting chapters of the letters to other
texts of Second Temple Judaism...I recommend this book for anyone
who studies or teaches Romans.
MICHAEL J. GORMAN, St. Marys Seminary & University

The apostle Paul, one of the most prominent figures in the early
Jesus movement, had a lot to say about money. His letters deal
with real people as they lived their Christian lives in the GrecoRoman world. He finds it necessary to address those who are
rich in this present world (1 Tim 6:17). But he also has to address
those who do not want to work, for whatever reason, and are idle
and disruptive (2 Thess 3:6). Moreover, whereas most churches
today have a certain socio-economic homogeneity, some of Pauls
churches had a combination of upper class wealthy people and
lower class slaves worshiping side-by-side, and it inevitably created friction (esp. 1 Cor 11:1734).
Relying on the results of current Pauline scholarship and a
careful exegesis of a variety of New Testament texts, Paul & Money
offers a thorough investigation of the apostle Pauls sayings and
dealings with money.

Readers of Paul today are more aware than ever of the importance of interpreting Pauls letters in their Jewish context. In
Reading Romans in Context, a team of Pauline scholars goes
beyond a general introduction that surveys historical events and
theological themes and explores Pauls letter to the Romans in
light of Second Temple Jewish literature.
In this non-technical collection of short essays, beginning and
intermediate students are given a chance to see firsthand what
makes Paul a distinctive thinker in relation to his Jewish contemporaries. Following the narrative progression of Romans, each
chapter pairs a major unit of the letter with one or more sections
of a thematically related Jewish text, introduces and explores
the theological nuances of the comparative text, and shows how
these ideas illuminate our understanding of the book of Romans.

The Biblical Greek Companion for Bible Software Users helps readers understand the exegetical significance of Greek grammatical
terminology identified by Bible software programs. This resource
provides students who utilize biblical language software the
insight they need to make sense of the data provided by the program, giving them deeper insight into the biblical text that they
could not get by solely reading an English translation.
It is ideally suited for:
Pastors and ministry leaders who may have learned Greek at
 one time but have experienced the loss of much of that learning
College and seminary students who are learning Greek and
need a guide to help understand the significance of the
grammatical terminology
Bible software users who never formally learned Greek in the
classroom and need help understanding the meaning of the terms
they encounter
With grammatical terms laid out and discussed in an intuitive and
user-friendly format, readers can now spend time focusing on
exegesis and applying their findings to their preaching, teaching,
study, and writing instead of puzzling over the significance of
grammatical terminology and how to apply it.
MARK L. STRAUSS (PhD, University of Aberdeen) is professor of
New Testament at Bethel Seminary in San Diego, California. He is
the author of numerous books including Four Portraits, One Jesus
and Mark in the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New
Testament series.

The most widely used edition of the Greek New Testament and
the most widely read contemporary English Bible translation are
now available in one volume! Featuring the UBS5 critical text (with
the full apparatus) and the New International Version, this reference volume stands to become the standard edition for translators and students.
Like the 28th edition of the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum
Graece, the UBS5 text is the leading edition of the original text of
the New Testament. It contains the same Greek text as NA28, differing only in some details of punctuation and paragraphing. The
critical apparatus includes exegetically significant variants (fewer
than NA28) but adds extensive manuscript evidence (more than
NA28) for each variant, thereby offering in-depth instruction for
students on how variants and the evidence for them work together.
The readings of the newly discovered Papyri 117-127 have been
incorporated into this edition, thereby opening up interesting
perspectives particularly for the Acts of the Apostles. A special
focus of the revision was on the Catholic Epistles, which included
more than thirty modifications in the reading text and resulted in
a new selection of witnesses for the textual apparatus, in addition
to modifications of the selection of apparatus units.
Additional features of The Greek-English New Testament include:
Side-by-side format (UBS5 text on one page with NIV on the

facing page)
NIV text formatted to parallel UBS5 text
Single column format

STEVEN E. RUNGE, Logos Bible Software
An impressively comprehensive tour of current issues in Greek language study.
JOHN A. L. LEE, Macquarie University
Advances in the Study of Greek offers an introduction to issues of
interest in the current world of Greek scholarship. Those within
Greek scholarship often lament that students, pastors, professors, and commentators seem significantly out of touch with what
is going on in Greek studies. Those outside Greek scholarship
often lament that they dont know whats going on, nor how to
get up to speed. Most of the scholarship is inaccessible to outsiders, being highly technical and laden with linguistic jargon.
This book provides an accessible introduction for students, pastors, professors, and commentators to understand the current
issues of interest in this period of paradigm shift. After all, the
study of Greek ultimately affects everyone interested in the New
Testament, whether they are Greek scholars or not.
CONSTANTINE R. CAMPBELL (PhD, Macquarie University) is associate professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity
School, Deerfield, Illinois.

While there are almost 1,000 questions in the Greek New

Testament, many commentators, pastors, and students skip over
the questions for more theological verses or worse they convert
questions into statements to mine them for what they are saying
theologically. However, this is not the way questions in the Greek
New Testament work, and it overlooks the rhetorical importance
of questions and how they were used in the ancient world.
Questions and Rhetoric in the Greek New Testament is a helpful and thorough examination of questions in the Greek New
Testament, seen from the standpoint of grammatical, semantic,
and linguistic analysis, with special emphasis on their rhetorical
effects. It includes charts, tools, and lists that explain and categorize the almost 1,000 questions in the Greek New Testament.
Thus, the user is able to go to the section in the book dealing with
the type of question they are studying and find the exegetical
parameters needed to understand that question.
Questions and Rhetoric in the Greek New Testament offers vibrant
examples of all the major categories of questions to aid the reader in grasping how questions work in the Greek New Testament.
Special emphasis is given to the way questions persuade and
influence readers of the Greek New Testament.

David Lamb here covers all the bases on the subject of sex in the Old
Testament, in a sensible, down-to-earth, well-informed way. He writes
as a biblical scholar who knows about real life, and he shows he can
bring the Bible and our own sexual lives together.
JOHN GOLDINGAY, Fuller Theological Seminary
Lamb combines careful scholarly reading of the biblical texts with
a light and engaging touch, while pointing the way for pastors,
churches and the rest of us to be a lot more biblical, discerning and
Christlike in what (and who) we love, and a lot more robustly honest
and informed about what the Bible actually says (and doesnt say)
about sex.
CHRISTOPHER J. H. WRIGHT, Langham Partnership
As readers of the Old Testament encounter weird, confusing,
and horrific love stories they ask, Whats up with sex in the
Old Testament? The church often ignores the R-rated bits of the
Bible, so its hard for people to find answers to their disturbing
questions about sex in Scripture, which can lead them to give up
on God and his Word.
However, these stories were included in the Bible for a reason,
to reveal an even more shocking love story. When humans
behave badly, God behaves graciously. God not only forgives people with sexual baggage, but also redeems their lives and includes
them in his mission. Gods Word records their story to benefit us.
Just as sex was often not ideal in the Old Testament, its often
not ideal today. Instead of ignoring these stories, Prostitutes and
Polygamists engages, discusses, and learns from them.
DAVID LAMB (DPhil, University of Oxford) is associate professor
of Old Testament at Biblical Seminary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

There is little doubt that in recent years the nature of the

Genesis narrative has sparked much debate among Christians.
Genesis: History, Fiction, or Neither? presents differing theological
views of the Genesis narrative and explores the implications for
understanding and interpreting it as Scripture. Each contributor
identifies his position on the genre of Genesis 1-11, addressing
why it is appropriate to the text, and contributes examples of its
application to a variety of passages.
Contributors and views include:
James K. Hoffmeier: History and Theology
Gordon J. Wenham: Proto-History
Kenton L. Sparks: Ancient Historiography
General editor and Old Testament scholar Charles Halton explains
the importance of genre and provides a helpful summation in the
conclusion.

A Survey of the Old Testament

Video Lectures
A Complete Course for the Beginner
ANDREW E. HILL AND JOHN H. WALTON
The purpose of studying the Old Testament is to understand God and his redemptive work
more fully. However, this goal is complicated by the fact that the Old Testament was written in a very different language and culture from our own. Andrew Hill and John Waltons
A Survey of the Old Testament Video Lectures helps to bridge that divide and provides an
indispensable guide to the literary, historical, and theological issues behind the Old
Testament and its various books.
Lessons covering each Old Testament book are included, as are lessons on each major
section of the Old Testament, on issues of interpretation, geography, archaeology, history,
and formation of the Old Testament canon, and on the Old Testaments relationship to the
New Testament.
A companion to the widely used textbook, A Survey of the Old Testament Video Lectures
is an ideal resource for students in online and flipped classrooms, as well as those in the
traditional classroom setting who need additional instruction or who need more contact
points with the content to enhance their retention and overall learning.
ANDREW E. HILL (PhD, University of Michigan) is professor of Old Testament studies at
Wheaton College in Illinois.
JOHN H. WALTON (PhD, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion) is professor of
Old Testament at Wheaton College and Graduate School.

Basics of Ancient Ugaritic Video Lectures provides a 30-minute lesson to accompany each chapter in the teaching grammar of this
ancient language. The grammar and video lectures begin with the
alphabet, and each new lesson builds on the ones before. This
approach is not, therefore, that of a synthetic Ugaritic grammar
those types of texts often prove to be overwhelming for students.
Instead, Basics of Ancient Ugaritic Video Lectures can be used for
learning the language by individuals on their own or in a classroom setting. Each chapter in the accompanying grammar concludes with a set of exercises allowing students to know whether
they are grasping the fundamentals of the language.
MICHAEL WILLIAMS (PhD, University of Pennsylvania) is professor of Old Testament at Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand
Rapids, Michigan, and a member of the NIV Committee on Bible
Translation.

Basics of Classical Syriac is a beginning Syriac grammar intended

for individual use or a classroom setting.
Of the early translational languages of the New Testament,
none is more important than Syriac. A working knowledge of
Syriac provides a lens from which to study the early texts of the
Greek New Testament, the Peshitta (the Syriac translation of the
Bible), and various early church history texts and commentary.
The grammar provides an ideal first step into the language and is
focused on getting the student into text translation as quickly as
possible.
Basics of Classical Syriac is useful for students across a range
of disciplines including New Testament studies, Old Testament
studies, and church history since it includes translation exercises
of Syriac texts from all these areas.
STEVEN C. HALLAM (PhD, Golden Gate Baptist Theological
Seminary) is assistant professor and chair of the General Studies
department at Alaska Christian College in Soldotna, Alaska. He
has taught Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Syriac at the graduate
level.

preachers recall Hebrew grammar and syntax but it does so always
with an eye focused on why such things matter.
SCOTT E. HOEZEE, Calvin Theological Seminary
A very helpful guide to the grammatical categories used in biblical
software.
MICHAEL B. KELLEY, Westminster Theological Seminary
The Biblical Hebrew Companion for Bible Software Users helps readers
understand the exegetical significance of Hebrew grammatical
terminology identified by Bible software programs. This resource
provides students who utilize biblical language software the
insight they need to make sense of the data provided by the program, giving them deeper insight into the biblical text that they
could not get by solely reading an English translation.
The Biblical Hebrew Companion for Bible Software Users is ideally suited for those who have never found the opportunity to
learn the paradigms, vocabulary, grammar, and syntax of biblical Hebrew; pastors and other ministry leaders who may have
learned biblical Hebrew at one time but have experienced the
loss of much of that learning; and college and seminary students
who have learned grammatical paradigms and vocabulary lists
but have not had the tools to better understand and apply the
significance of that data.

It is exceptionally well done and far better than anything else I

have seen! The introductory material is excellent. It seems to me to
be something that will help a lot of students and pastors, and even
professors!
DONALD HAGNER, Fuller Theological Seminary
My New Testament seminary students need this book. This will be
immensely helpful for their research on papers and for deciding
which commentaries to buy for their future pastorates.
ROBERT CARA, Reformed Theological Seminary
A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works, by
John F. Evans, summarizes and briefly analyzes all recent and many
older commentaries on each book of the Bible, giving insightful
comments on the approach of each commentary and its interpretive
usefulness especially for evangelical interpreters of the Bible.
A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works is essentially
an annotated bibliography of hundreds of commentators. More
scholarly books receive a longer, more detailed treatment than do
lay commentaries, and highly recommended commentaries have
their authors names in bold. This book is an ideal resource to help
beginning biblical studies and theology students discern which
commentaries will be most useful for their current academic studies
and future ministries.

The NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible
Bringing to life the ancient world of Scripture
A study Bible that examines what Scripture meant in its ancient

General Editor, Old Testament

Genesis 1:31

Mesopotamian imagery refers to breasts of heaven, through which rain comes. Uga
ritic texts use the symbolism of the clouds serving as buckets to deliver the rain. The
OT refers to gates in the sky through which precipitation comes as windows used
only for rain, not for the celestial bodies (e.g., Ge 7:11; 8:2; 2Ki 7:2,19). Job 38:22 also
poetically speaks of storehouses for snow and hail. All precipitation (including dew,
see Pr 3:19 20) comes from above, and thus weather is regulated by the sky.
It should also be noted that an alternative interpretation of the Hebrew word raqa
is that it refers to the living space created by the separation of the waters. In this case,
a different Hebrew word refers to the vault.

BIBLICAL THEOLOGY

A Theology of Marks Gospel

Good News about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God
DAVID E. GARLAND
Both scholars and general readers will benefit greatly from Garlands illuminating study, which
is presented in such a clear, accessible writing style.
PHILIP JENKINS, Baylor University
Simply put, this is a magnificent, major resource for the study of Mark. It is both comprehensive
and detailed. It is impressive for the depth and range of its scholarship, as well as its careful
argumentation. David Garlands approach to Mark reflects the perfect blend of believing and
responsibly critical scholarship. It is hard to imagine a better or more helpful volume on the
theology of Mark than this.
DONALD A. HAGNER, Fuller Theological Seminary
As usual, David Garland provides an insightful and well-researched reading into the biblical
text. In this book, however, he offers an additional benefit: a model for how to write a helpful
theology of a narrative work. By exploring Mark thematically and theologically, Garland provides a distinctively new contribution.

A Theology of Marks Gospel is the fourth release in the BTNT (Biblical Theology of the New
Testament) series. This landmark textbook, written by leading New Testament scholar David E. Garland, thoroughly explores the theology of Marks gospel. It both covers
major Markan themes and also sets forth the distinctive contribution of Mark to the New
Testament and the canon of Scripture, providing readers with an in-depth and holistic
grasp of Markan theology in the larger context of the Bible. This substantive, evangelical
treatment of Markan theology makes an ideal college- or seminary-level text.
DAVID E. GARLAND (PhD, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is William B. Hinson
Professor of Christian Scriptures and dean for academic affairs at George W. Truett
Seminary, Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

HERMENEUTICS

How to Preach and Teach the Old

Testament for All Its Worth
CHRISTOPHER J. H. WRIGHT
Many preachers ignore preaching from the Old Testament because they feel it is outdated in light of the New Testament and difficult to expound. On the other hand, some
will teach from the Old Testament frequently but fail to handle it correctly, turning it into
moralistic rules or symbolic lessons for our spiritual life. In How to Preach and Teach the Old
Testament for All Its Worth, Christopher J. H. Wright proclaims that we must not ignore the
Old Testament. It is the Word of God! The Old Testament lays the foundation for our faith
and it was the Bible that Jesus read and used.
Looking first at why we should preach and teach from the Old Testament, Wright then
moves on to show the reader how they can be preach and teach from it. Covering
the History, Law, Prophets, Psalms, and Wisdom Literature, interspersed with practical
checklists, exercises, and outlines, he provides an essential guide on how to handle the Old
Testament responsibly.
CHRISTOPHER J. H. WRIGHT (PhD, Cambridge University) is international director of the
Langham Partnership International. He also serves as chair of the Lausanne Movements
Theology Working Group and chair of the Theological Resource Panel of TEAR Fund, a leading
Christian relief and development charity.

Wow! I just finished reading Gaining by Losing. I rarely finish a book

and feel like it took my breath away. This book by J. D. Greear is nothing short of incredible. Its just that powerful.
THOM S. RAINER, President & CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources
When Jesus gave his disciples the Great Commission, he revealed
that the key for reaching the world with the gospel is found in sending, not gathering. Though many churches focus time and energy
on attracting people and counting numbers, the real mission of the
church isnt how many people you can gather, its about training up
disciples and then sending them out. The true measure of success
for a church should be its sending capacity, not its seating capacity.
But there is a cost to this. To see ministry multiply, we must sow
the seeds God has placed in our hands. And to do that, we must
ask ourselves whether we are concerned more with building our
kingdom or with building Gods.
In Gaining By Losing, J.D. Greear unpacks ten plumb lines that you
can use to reorient your churchs priorities around Gods mission to
reach a lost world. The good news is that you dont need to choose
between gathering or sending. Effective churches can, and must,
do both.
J.D. GREEAR (PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) is
pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
The Summit Church has been ranked by Outreach Magazine as
one of the fastest-growing churches in the United States.

The Emotionally Healthy Leader is a profoundly helpful and insightful offering. With remarkable honesty about his own journey, Pete
describes key components of healthy Christian leadership, inspiring
us to bring our transforming selves to the communities we servefor
the glory of God, for the abundance of our own lives and for the good
of many.
RUTH HALEY BARTON, Founder and President,
Transforming Center
The first half of The Emotionally Healthy Leader looks at four foundational areas often overlooked in developing leaders: (1) facing our
shadow, (2) leading out of our marriage or singleness,
(3) slowing down for loving union with Jesus, and (4) practicing
Sabbath delight. Who we are, our being, is primary, impacting all
our exterior activity. Scazzero then examines the intersection of
our inner lives with the practical, every day doing of leadership
planning and decision-making, culture and team building,
community and dual relationships, endings and new beginnings.

Since the beginning of the biblical counseling movement in 1970,

biblical counselors have argued that counseling is a ministry of
the Word, just like preaching or missions. As a ministry, counseling must be defined according to sound biblical theology rather
than secular principles of psychology.
For over four decades, biblical theology has been at the core of
the biblical counseling movement. Leaders in biblical counseling
have emphasized a commitment to teaching doctrine in their
counseling courses out of the conviction that good theology leads
to good counselingand bad theology leads to bad counseling.
A Theology of Biblical Counseling is a landmark new book that
unpacks the core theological convictions that underlie sound
counseling, and practical wisdom for counseling today. Heath
Lambert shows how biblical counseling is rooted in the Scriptures
while illustrating the real challenges counselors face today
through true stories from the counseling room. A substantive
textbook written in accessible language, it is an ideal resource
for use in training biblical counselors at colleges, seminaries, and
training institutes. In each chapter, doctrine comes to life in real
ministry to real people, dramatically demonstrating how theology
intersects with the lives of actual counselees.

Gospel Conversations is a powerful tool for everyone who wants to

think more carefully about how to help others.
DEEPAK REJU, president, Biblical Counseling Coalition
How does a person learn to counsel others with the truth of
Gods Word? Bob Kellemen believes that the best way to learn
counseling is by doing itby giving and receiving biblical counseling in the context of real, raw Christian community.
Gospel Conversations explores the four compass-points of biblical
counseling:

Sustaining: Its Normal to Hurt.

Healing: Its Possible to Hope.
Reconciling: Its Horrible to Sin, but Wonderful to Be Forgiven.
Guiding: Its Supernatural to Mature.

These four compass-points combine to equip readers to develop

twenty-two ministry relational competenciesthe how to of
caring like Christ. This book serves as a practical training manual
that can be used for lab and small group interaction.
Gospel Conversations is the second volume in the Equipping
Biblical Counselors Series, a comprehensive relational training
curriculum for the local church that provides a model for equipping Gods people to change lives with Christs changeless truth.
This two-volume series weaves together comprehensive biblical
insight with compassionate Christian engagement.

In Biblical Counseling and the Church, Bob Kellemen and Kevin

Carson have assembled over twenty respected ministry leaders who
examine the relationship between counseling and the church.
This comprehensive resource, part of the Biblical Counseling
Coalition series, helps leaders and counselors develop a vision
that goes beyond being a church with a biblical counseling ministry to becoming a church of biblical counselingchurch culture
that is saturated by one-another ministry.
Biblical Counseling and the Church will help church leaders:
Unite the pulpit ministry of preaching the Word with the
personal ministry of the Word in counseling
Offer practical and theological training to equip counselors
Launch and lead a counseling ministry, regardless of the size of
their church
Bring together the relational focus of small group ministry with
the ministry of care and counseling
Better understand the relationship between biblical counseling,
church discipline, and conflict resolution
BOB KELLEMEN (PhD, Kent State University) is the executive
director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition and the founder and
CEO of RPM Ministries.
KEVIN CARSON (DMin, Westminster Theological Seminary) is
