Judges and Ruth
The book of Judges presents Israel’s need for deliverance and God’s use of flawed leaders to guide his chosen people through a dark period of their history. The book of Ruth tells a smaller story within this narrative, showing God quietly at work in the lives of a few individuals. This replacement Tyndale commentary places each book in its historical and canonical context, examines key theological themes, and addresses issues facing readers today.
The Message of 1 & 2 Samuel
Within the Old Testament books of 1 and 2 Samuel we find some of the most well-known stories of the Bible – those of Hannah, David, Absalom and many more which have been fruitful sources of inspiration for classic artworks and musical compositions, as well as innumerable Sunday school lessons. Yet often we only consider these stories in a way that’s disconnected from our everyday faith. In this accessible and stimulating commentary, Mary Evans guides us through The Message of 1 & 2 Samuel in the conviction that they are a vital part of God's Word, full of teaching that is dynamically relevant for all Christian believers. Exploring the narratives and creatively bringing out their applicat...
1 & 2 Samuel
Identifying three streams of concern in the books of Samuel (politics, people, and preaching), Mary Evans demonstrates how each of these manifests itself in the underlying and unifying theme of power-and powerlessness. She then uses this concept of power as a fascinating matrix for interpreting the events God ordains and the characters God uses in biblical history. Evans defends her case for the unity of the books that we divide into 1 and 2 Samuel with a sensitivity to the composition of the text and the intentionality of the various "writers" who had a hand in bringing the different accounts together. The discussion interacts with the parallel material in Chronicles and Kings and recognizes the importance of the themes of covenant and law, especially from the Deuteronomic perspective. The commentary, with its additional notes, also includes a good breadth of references to scholarly debate and discussion on various issues. Evans brings the often theologically difficult text of Samuel and the complex characters of Samuel, Saul, David, and others into sharp focus for the contemporary reader while offering fresh insights and perspectives on the ancient text.
Woman in the Bible
The book of James is arguably the most practical book in the whole of the NewTestament it is in fact a letter with a plan. It is also a letter that has a great deal tosay to us here and now. Too often the Christian church has been open to outsideinfluences; wisdom has been replaced by popular consensus. The Way of Wisdomseeks to correct and counter such a movement. Taking as his theme the workings of apractical and personal faith R.T. Kendall opens up this challenging epistle and offersa biblicallybased model for Christian nurture and discipline. Here is a book thatencourages reflection and the radical reorganization of our lives as we reconsider ourrelationship with God the church and ourselves.

Equally Yoked
This book is written for people who really believe in their heart-or who really want to believe-that God's highest ideal is for men and women to operate in a full and equal partnership, yet have been led to believe that the Bible teaches otherwise. In both the original creation and in the new creation God has an ideal for the genders-full and equal partnership under God's headship. Equally Yoked examines the teaching of the Bible on this critical topic and makes the case that this ideal of partnership is biblical; and that reclaiming this ideal is essential for the church to fulfill its end-time mandate to partner with God in seeing His Kingdom come to earth. Why another book about men and w...
