Why Do I Go to Church & Why Does the Church Exist Anyway? explores the profound and often misunderstood subject of the Church—not merely as an institution or Sunday tradition, but as a living, spiritual reality born from Jesus Christ Himself. It distinguishes between the visible, often flawed structures of organised religion and the real, true and heavenly Church—a Christ-centred community that transcends buildings, denominations, and centuries. It is a blend of biblical insight with a strong historical narrative, tracing the Church’s journey from its earliest beginnings through persecution, doctrinal shifts, the Middle Ages, and into the modern era. Along the way, it examines how powe...
Paul wrote 2 Corinthians with a heavy heart, wrestling to maintain his relationship with the young church that he established. The way that Paul handled this painful situation provides an example for us today. When should we reconcile, and when should we walk away? How do we cut ties with darkness--whether in ourselves or in others? In this volume from the Transformative Word series, edited by Craig Bartholomew, John D. Barry explores how we deal with such scars in light of Jesus' example. Endorsements In beautiful prose, John Barry offers a plethora of practical insights for our lives, relationships and ministries from 2 Corinthians. He shows how the letter as a whole fits together, and his...
My goal upon entering Moody’s MABS program was then, as it is now, to know God better, and to love Him more. Before completing the program, I began praying to know what God had in mind for me next. While praying I realized that some, if not much of the biblical “knowledge” I had recently gained, would likely slip from my mind if I did not take steps to prevent that. I was then led to compile my written assignments into a well-organized anthology. As I prayerfully worked on that project, I realized that the finished product could well serve as a Christian discipleship or small group study. That led me to prayerfully consider making the project available to everyone. Now, along with WestBow Press, I am blessed to invite you to embark on a journey through your own “At-Home Seminary.”

The study of the Bible has long included a literary aspect with great attention paid not only to what was written but also to how it was expressed. The detailed analysis of biblical books and passages as written texts has benefited from the study of literature in classical philology, ancient rhetoric, and modern literary criticism. This volume of the Lexham Methods Series introduces the various ways the study of literature has been used in biblical studies. Most literary approaches emphasize the study of the text alone—its structure, its message, and its use of literary devices—rather than its social or historical background. The methods described in Literary Approaches to the Bible are focused on different ways of analyzing the text within its literary context. Some of the techniques have been around for centuries, but the theories of literary critics from the early 20th century to today had a profound impact on biblical interpretation. In this book, you will learn about those literary approaches, how they were adapted for biblical studies, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
