Author: John Reumann

Dewey Decimal Number: 227

Description:

In Philippians John Reumann offers both classical approaches and new methods of understanding this New Testament book. With fresh commentary on the social world and rhetorical criticism, and special focus on the contributions of the Philippian house churches to Paul’s work and early Christian mission, Reumann clarifies Paul’s attitudes toward and interactions with the Philippians.

 

Departing from traditional readings of Philippians in light of Acts, Reumann allows Paul to speak in his own right. His three letters from Ephesus shed new light on relationships, and we come to see how he approves some aspects of the dominant “culture of friendship” in Greco-Roman Philippi while disapproving others. He seeks to help the Philippians discern how to be citizens of the heavenly kingdom and also Caesar’s state, though there is an undercurrent of “Christ vs. Caesar.” Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find much of interest in John Reumann’s deeply researched and insightful new volume.

Description:

The trials of Job are legendary. One righteous man suffering so many calamities, so much heartache. But despite the fact that many have heard about Job and his trials, not many people truly understand what those trials were all about and what God was trying to accomplish through them. Job himself was confused about it all. What did I do to deserve such suffering? he cried out.

Eventually, though, through tough questions and unexpected answers from God, Job gained new insights on suffering, patience, and endurance. And, more importantly, he learned how deeply he was loved by God.

Sooner or later, we all go through our times of suffering and heartache, and the ancient story of Job offers timeless truth for us if we'll only listen. Now, in this illuminating study of Job's life, Charles Swindoll, in his trademark warm and insightful style, helps readers understand the key to developing heroic endurance.

Description: For many years I had been urged to compile a list of all significant prophecies of Scripture and provide an exposition of them. This book, in an attempt to meet this need, explains one thousand passages of the Bible and, for the first time in current literature, all the prophecies of the Bible are explained in one volume. The significance is especially striking with the arrival of the twenty-first
century which has continued to sharpen interest in prophetic interpretation.

The leading problem in the interpretation of prophecy is whether the Scripture should be interpreted in its natural or literal sense. This is discussed in the Introduction. It is also important to understand that in the interpretation of prophecy, every prophecy is related to other prophecies like the piece of a tapestry to the whole. Accordingly, a system had to be used that would unfold prophecy in an orderly way and relate prophecies to each other. To achieve this, the general method of study of prophetic Scripture was approached from the biblical point of view, beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation. In the Gospels the chronological approach was modified to deal with major prophecies in the Synoptic Gospels and to consider separately prophecy in the Gospel of John. Biblical quotations are from the Holy Bible, New International Version.

Most significant is the fact that half of these prophecies—five hundred of them—have already been literally fulfilled, establishing beyond any intellectual question that the Bible was intended to be interpreted literally in prophetic passages. Unmistakably, the evidence is overwhelming that God means exactly what He says as prophecy after prophecy has already been literally fulfilled. When history has run its course, every prophecy will be fulfilled.

Though it is impossible in one volume to deal at length with each interpretation, the goal of this volume is to provide an explanatory exposition of each significant prophecy of Scripture with some mention of alternative views. The reader will in this way be provided with a workable and intelligent interpretation of prophecy that fits into the larger scheme of prophecy as fulfilled or to be fulfilled and will be given an introductory understanding of the prophecy as a basis for further study.
The competent work of Karen Grassmick as stenographer did much to enhance the book. The cooperation of the administration of Dallas Seminary in allowing me free time is gratefully acknowledged.

Description: Recipient of a Christianity Today 1993 Critics Choice Award! Third Place Winner of Christianity Today's Book of the Year list award! The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels is unique among reference books on the Bible, the first volume of its kind since James Hastings published his Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels in 1909. In the more than eight decades since Hastings our understanding of Jesus, the Evangelists and their world has grown remarkably. New interpretive methods have illumined the text, the ever-changing profile of modern culture has put new questions to the Gospels, and our understanding of the Judaism of Jesus' day has advanced in ways that could not have been predicted in Hasting's day. But for many readers of the Gospels the new outlook on the Gospels remains hidden within technical journals and academic monographs. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and lay people desiring in-depth treatment of select topics in an accesible and summary format. The topics range from cross-sectional themes (such as faith, law, Sabbath) to methods of interpretation (such as form criticism, redaction criticism, and death of Jesus) to each of the four Gospels as a whole. Some articles--such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic traditions and revolutionary movements at the time of Jesus--provide significant background information to the Gospels. Others reflect recent and less familiar issues in Jesus and Gospel studies, such as divine man, ancient rhetoric and the chreiai (aphorisms). Contemporary concerns of general interest are discussed in articles covering such topics as healing, the demonic and the historical reliability of the Gospels. And for those entrusted with communicating the message of the Gospels, there is an extensive article on preaching from the Gospels. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels presents the fruit of evangelical New Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century--committed to the authority of Scripture, utilizing the best of critical methods, and maintaining dialog with contemporary scholarship and challenges facing the church.
