By Abraham Park. 2014
Following his remarkable exegesis on the first and second periods of Jesus' genealogy, the best-selling author Rev. Abraham Park, in…
the fifth installment of the History of Redemption series, covers the third and final period, which spans the fourteen generations from then Babylonian exile to Jesus Christ. With some amazing charts and historical insights, this book sheds light upon the labyrinth-like history of the 600 years before Jesus' birth. Throughout the book, the author's underlying thesis is quite evident; world history does not flow autonomously apart from God's redemptive history.

This is why we can be assured that The Promise of the Eternal Covenant will certainly be fulfilled.The Restoration of a Sinner: David's Heart Revealed (MacArthur Old Testament Study Guides)

was renowned for his courage. But David was not a super-hero. He had to fight many difficult battles in order to establish his throne, he committed murder and adultery, and he brought disaster upon his family. Far from perfect, David was a man with sin who depended on the same grace of God that is available to us as well. Despite his all-too-human failings, the Lord declared that David was a man after God's own heart. The Restoration of a Sinner takes an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with David's struggle to establish his throne, continuing through his sin and repentance, and concluding with the tragic rebellion of his son Absalom. Studies include close-ups of Joab, Amnon, and Tamar, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes, such as "Keeping God First" and "The Man After God's Own Heart." This twelve-volume MacArthur Old Testament Study Guide series provides intriguing twelve-week examinations of the Old Testament. Each guide looks at a portion of Scripture from three perspectives--historical studies, character studies, and thematic studies--and incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Old Testament with guidance from John MacArthur.Daniel and Esther: Israel in Exile
By John F. Macarthur. 2016
Many of God's people through the ages have been called to endure times of hardship, loneliness, and suffering. Some, such…
as Daniel and Esther, were even members of a race carried away to a foreign land that had never heard of the God of Israel.

In this study, John MacArthur guides readers through an in-depth look at the historical period of Israel's exile beginning with the prophet Daniel being carried off to Babylon, continuing through the rise of the Persian Empire, and concluding with Esther's reign as queen. Studies include close-up examinations of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar, Esther, Haman, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as "Standing Boldly for God" and "God's Sovereignty Over the Future." The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture.

By Fiona Smith. 2015

By Mark Forman. 2011
Mark Forman explores the extent to which Paul's concept of 'inheritance' in Romans, and its associated imagery, logic and arguments,…
served to evoke socio-political expectations that were different to those which prevailed in contemporary Roman imperial discourse. Forman explores how Paul deploys the idea of inheritance in Romans and analyses the sources which inform and overlap with this concept. Coins, literature and architecture are all examined in order to understand the purpose, hopes and expectations of first-century society. This book contributes to recent studies covering Paul and politics by arguing that Paul's concept of inheritance subverts and challenges first-century Roman ideologies.The Hermeneutics of Christological Psalmody in Paul
By Matthew Scott. 2014
By reexamining the quotation of psalms in Paul, this book offers a fresh interpretation of the New Testament's reception of…
the Old Testament. Richard Hays's influential Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul astutely identified the rhetorical device of metalepsis, or echo, as central to the study of Pauline hermeneutics. Hays's Paul was in sympathetic dialogue with the voice of Scripture, but Matthew Scott now challenges this assumption with close readings of echoed psalms voiced by David and Christ. Paul's use of metalepsis in Romans and 2 Corinthians reveals him to be a provocative, even polemical, reader who appropriates the words of David for a Christological purpose. Scott also illustrates how Christ succeeds David as the premier psalmist in Paul and considers whether, in doing so, Christ acts as inheritor or iconoclast.This Day (Regular Edition): A Wesleyan Way of Prayer

By Matthew Sleeman. 2009
The book of Acts contains a strong geographical component. Yet readings of Acts typically ignore or marginalise geography's contribution to…
the construction of the narrative's theology. In this book Matthew Sleeman argues that Jesus' ascension into heaven is foundational for establishing the 'spatiality' of Acts, showing that the narrative's understanding of place and space is shaped decisively by Christ's heavenly location. Drawing on recent advances in geographical theory, Sleeman offers a 'spatial' interpretation that expands our vision of how space and place inform the theological impulses of Acts. Presenting a complement to conventional 'temporal' readings of Acts, he sheds new light on the theology of the book, and suggests new ways of reading not only Acts but also other New Testament texts. Sleeman's work combines innovative biblical scholarship with accessible and informative geographical analysis, and is suitable for those with research and teaching interests in human geography or biblical studies.Revelation and the End Times Participant's Guide: Unraveling Gods Message of Hope
