  • Abingdon New Testament Commentaries: Romans

    by Leander E. Keck, Jouette M. Bassler, D. Moody Smith, Vernon Robbins, John H. Elliott, Pheme Perkins ...
    Like widely differing siblings raised by the same parents, each letter produced by Paul has its own distinguishing character. For the historically minded critic, each letter’s unique traits provide important clues for detecting the circumstances in which Paul wrote it as well as what he hoped to achieve with it. Scholars assume that by examining the content of the letter (the “answer”), they can ... Read more

  • Abingdon New Testament Commentaries: Mark

    by C. Clifton Black, Pheme Perkins, Vernon Robbins, D. Moody Smith, Jouette M. Bassler, John H. Elliott ...
    Mark’s genius lies, not in telling a story about Jesus, but in creating conditions under which the reader may experience the peculiar quality of God’s good news. The Evangelist hurries one along breathlessly, “immediately,” making sure that the reader lurches with the characters into one pothole after another. “What is this new teaching” that consorts with the flagrantly sinful, turning the pious ...

  • Telling the Truth

    Evangelizing Postmoderns

    by D. A. Carson ...
    "A pre-modern baseball umpire would have said something like this: 'There's balls, and there's strikes, and I call 'em as they are.' The modernist would have said, 'There's balls, and there's strikes, and I call 'em as I see 'em.' And the postmodernist umpire would say, 'They ain't nothing until I call 'em.'" With that humorous quote, Ravi Zacharias illustrates the challenge postmodernism poses to ... Read more

  • Transforming Worldviews

    An Anthropological Understanding of How People Change

    by Paul Hiebert ...
    In the past, changes in behavior and in belief have been leading indicators for missionaries that Christian conversion had occurred. But these alone--or even together--are insufficient for a gospel understanding of conversion. For effective biblical mission, Paul G. Hiebert argues, we must add a third element: a change in worldview. Here he offers a comprehensive study of worldview--its philosophy ... Read more
