Mark
Become a daily Bible reader, attentive to the mind of God. "Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"—Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher Mark writes his biography of Jesus not only to record the story about Jesus, he also has discipleship to Jesus in mind. His central idea is that the life and death of Jesus shapes what the life of a follower of Jesus should look like. In this volume of the New Testament Everyday Bible Study series, Scot McKnight explores the Gospel of Mark, a fast-paced narrative with over half of the content foc...
One Gospel for All Nations
The Bible tells us what to believe––the gospel. Did you know it also shows how to contextualize the gospel? In One Gospel for All Nations, Jackson Wu does more than talk about principles. He gets practical. When the biblical writers explain the gospel, they consistently use a pattern that is both firm and flexible. Wu builds on this insight to demonstrate a model of contextualization that starts with interpretation and can be applied in any culture. In the process, he explains practically why we must not choose between the Bible and culture. Wu highlights various implications for both missionaries and theologians. Contextualization should be practical, not pragmatic; theological, not theoretical.
Scot Mcknight Collection
Designed for churches and groups studying the most important issues in the Christian faith, this collection includes 4 of Scot McKnight's most important writings to help all of us to better understand what we believe and how we live. A compelling statement of how to read the Bible in a new evangelical generation, The Blue Parakeet provides an exciting "Third Way" that appeals to the millions in today's church who long to be authentic Christians, but don't consider themselves theologically conservative or liberal. The Christian Life is treated in One.Life. Here Scot McKnight offers a manifesto of Christian faith that beckons readers out of the rut of religious rituals to the high places of following Jesus. The King Jesus Gospel helps readers define and see what the gospel is: the declaration that Jesus is Messiah and Lord, declaring that the Story of Jesus completes the Story of Israel in a way that saves. In A Fellowship of Differents, Scot McKnight presents a case that everything we learn about the Christian life we learn from our church. Readers here will find a compelling answer to the question: what's the church supposed to be?

The Letter of James
Scot McKnight here explains the Letter of James both in its own context and as it may be seen in light of ancient Judaism, the Graeco-Roman world, and emerging earliest Christianity. From beginning to end, the book is shaped for pastors, teachers, and scholars. McKnight is less interested in shedding new light on James than on providing a commentary for those who want to explain the letter and its significance to congregations and classes. This commentary is accessible to a broad readership, at once full of insight and of good sense and wit that makes for good reading. The Letter of James is an especially helpful source for consultation as to what James is about.
Evangelicals Engaging Emergent
While plenty of books related to the conversations as well as controversies surrounding the emergent church have surfaced in recent years, no comprehensive evangelical assessment of the movement has been published until now. Evangelicals Engaging Emergent draws from a broad spectrum of conservative evangelicalism to serve as a clear, informative, fair, and respectful guide for those desiring to know what “emergent” means, why it originated, where the movement is going, what issues concern emergent believers, and where they sometimes go wrong theologically. Among the dozen contributors are Norman Geisler (“A Postmodern View of Scripture”), Darrell Bock (“Emergent/Emerging Christologies”), Ed Stetzer (“The Emergent/Emerging Church: A Missiological Perspective”), and Daniel Akin (“The Emerging Church and Ethical Choices: The Corinthian Matrix”).
Parallel Lives of Jesus
This is an introductory guide to the four New Testament Gospels as overlapping accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, each with their own distinctive emphases and concerns. Part One deals first with the fact that there are four Gospels in the canon and looks at how the fourfold Gospel emerged. The literary relationships between the Gospels are dealt with next, followed by the composition of the Gospels. Part Two looks at each Gospel, its structure, contents, style and narrative technique, its presentation of Jesus and its particular interests and themes. Part Three, the main section of the book, takes six key events in the life of Jesus, most of which are found in all four Gospels, and examines the parallel versions. The book ends with reflections on the fourfold Gospel and the singular Jesus, including a discussion of key issues relating to the 'historical Jesus'.
Choosing the Opposite
Is it possible to live a life of integrity and peace in these divisive times? Are you fed up with the polarization, division, and tension everywhere you turn--in your country, your community, your church, and even in your own relationships? Many of us wrestle with navigating disagreements, difficult personalities, and tense family dynamics with love and humility. We wonder if we have what it takes to be a peacemaker. Choosing the Opposite invites you to explore a radically different approach to life and faith as modeled in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Examine how your choices may be fueling the chaos and learn how embracing Jesus' countercultural teachings can lead to the restoration of relat...
