One reason for writing these books is that most curriculums that are now available for youth leaders and their students are just skimming the books of the Bible (example: 4-12 lessons on the Gospel of John that do not go beyond the surface of the text). We are talking about writing books that would have the entire Biblical text printed in each book. Books that actually go deeper into the meaning of the text. We are thinking of dozens of word and character studies, with many fascinating historical and personal stories, followed by in depth thought provoking questions. This series of books...

Augustine. Luther. Wesley. These great leaders of the church all traced their spiritual awakenings to the book of Romans.

Take a new journey through the Bible you thought you knew.

Take a look through God's telescope and see how it all really happened: What was it like to be in Joseph's sandals as his brothers sold him into Egyptian slavery? How did Esther use her pretty face as a tool to save the Hebrew people? And what in the name of ... well, you know who ... happened...

Volume I covers two areas, issues of methodology and recent advances in historical Jesus research. The former area both lays the basic groundwork for engaging in the study of the ancient texts that form the New Testament, but also collects together some of the...

Die Frage nach dem Stellenwert des fruhchristlichen Kultmahls im johanneischen Schrifttum beschaftigt seit dem 19. Jahrhundert die neutestamentliche Forschung. Das Johannesevangelium erwahnt in seiner― von der synoptischen stark abweichenden― Darstellung der Passionserzahlung zwar ein letztes gemeinsames "Abendmahl " (δεiπνον) Jesu, bei dem er seinen Jungern die Fue wascht (Joh 13); es verzichtet aber auf die "Einsetzung" eines zukunftigen (Kult-)Mahles in der Weise, wie es die synoptisch-paulinische Tradition der Deuteworte nahelegt.

This guide introduces students (of all levels and in both secular and seminary contexts) to the key issues and scholarly ideas that have informed the study of Galatians.
