Description: Preacher T.D. Jakes (author of The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord) has assembled an inspirational collection of God's promises, as well as his own suggested vows of praise and appreciation for God's love and forgiveness. As a tool for prayer and comfort, this is a well-organized and easy-to-use handbook. Prayer headings speak to the variety of painful circumstances that lead women into conversation with God, including such issues as abuse, betrayal, financial difficulty, and guilt. Beneath each heading is a two-page spread: On the left are biblical quotes that speak to the specific problem; on the right are soothing promises from God and a vow women can make in response. There's even a section in the back called "Waling Women's Prayer Pages" for women to use to write their own thoughts, troubles, and thanks. Readers who have found comfort and support from Jakes's previous books will certainly be pleased with this latest companion.

Description:
The Zohar is the great medieval compendium of Jewish esoteric and mystical teaching, and the basis of the kabbalistic faith. It is, however, a notoriously difficult text, full of hidden codes, concealed meanings, obscure symbols, and ecstatic expression. This illuminating study, based upon the last several decades of modern Zohar scholarship, unravels the historical and intellectual origins of this rich text and provides an excellent introduction to its themes, complex symbolism, narrative structure, and language. A Guide to the Zohar is thus an invaluable companion to the Zohar itself, as well as a useful resource for scholars and students interested in mystical literature, particularly that of the west, from the Middle Ages to the present.

Binding: Paperback
Author: Stephen G. Dempster
Publisher: InterVarsity Press
Dewey Decimal Number: 230.0411
Publication Date: 2003-12
Reading Level: 256
 
Description: Christian theologians rarely study the Old Testament in its final Hebrew canonical form, even though this was very likely the Bible used by Jesus and the early church. However, once read as a whole, the larger structure of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) provides a "wide-angle lens" through which its contents can be viewed.In this stimulating exposition, Stephen G. Dempster argues that, despite its undoubted literary diversity, the Hebrew Bible possesses a remarkable structural and conceptual unity. The various genres and books are placed within a comprehensive narrative framework which provides an overarching literary and historical context. The many texts contribute to this larger text, and find their meaning and significance within its story of "dominion and dynasty," which ranges from Adam to the Son of Man to David, and to a coming Davidic king.

Binding: Paperback
Author: Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger::Scott Hahn
Publisher: Ignatius Press
Dewey Decimal Number: 231.76
Publication Date: 1999-09
Reading Level: 113
 
Description: In Many Religions, One Covenant, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger spans the deep divides in modern Catholic scholarship to present a compelling biblical theology, modern in its concerns yet classical in its breadth. It is his classical mastery, his ressourcement, that enables the Cardinal to build a bridge.

Cardinal Ratzinger seeks to deepen our understanding of the Bible's most fundamental principle. The covenant defines religion for Christians and Jews. We cannot discern God's design or his will if we do not meditate upon his covenant.

The covenant, then, is the principle that unites the New Testament with the Old, the Scriptures with Tradition, and each of the various branches of theology with all the others. The covenant does more than bridge the gaps between these elements; it fills in the gaps, so that biblical scholarship, dogmatic theology, and magesterial authority all stand on common ground — solid ground.

  One Book Rightly Divided

Binding: Hardcover
Author: Douglas D. Stauffer
Publisher: McCowen Mills Publishers
Publication Date: 2000-02-19
Reading Level: 257
 
Description: One Book Rightly Divided tackles one of the most pressing thelogical debates of our time - how to properly interpret the scriptures. Unlike most hermeneutical works, this book empowers the student by presenting the Bible's own internal method of self-interpretation.

The teaching of right division is not a new concept designed by the author, but rather the scriptural mandate of God.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (II Timothy 2:15)

By allowing the Bible to interpret itself, alleged contradictions and cultic heresies lose their power to confuse. Likewise, difficult passages (the one evaded in the commentaries) are suddenly reconcilable by rightly dividing the word of truth.

Unique in its versatility, One Book Rightly Divided serves as a Christian's study guide, a Bible college textbook, or a pastor's homiletical aid. The reader will be helped by the many illuminating charts and the absence of technical language.

This volume will enhance the Christian's personal walk with God by providing him with the biblical key to Bible study.
