Description: Increasingly scholars are realizing that prophetic traditions, expressions, and experiences stand at the heart of most religions in the ancient Mediterranean world. This is no less true for the world of Judaism and Jesus. Witherington aims to look at the broader expression of prophecy in its ancient Mediterranean context in an attempt to better understand biblical prophecy in that wider context. Equipped with an impressive appreciation for the cross-cultural nature of prophecy in the ancient world, Witherington is then able to look at the prophetic role of Jesus. Jesus the Seer especially complements Witherington's other volume on Jesus, Jesus the Sage. "Ambitious in scope, clear and compelling in presentation. Witherington has linked the eschatological prophet-sage Jesus to the complex world of Old Testament prophecy, and then gone on to trace the relationship of both to early Christian prophecy. Rarely has a New Testament scholar demonstrated such proficiency in handling Old Testament and Hebrew sources. The result is a comprehensive scriptural presentation."
-Christopher R. Seitz, University of St. Andrews "Jesus the Seer pursues two important ends simultaneously. On the one hand, it adds yet another essential dimension to the emerging comprehensive portrait of Jesus that is being brought to light by the careful work of Ben Witherington III. On the other hand, anyone interested in prophecy-in prophets and in prophesying-will find Witherington's book a veritable tour of the topic. Witherington's knowledge of the contemporary study of Jesus and his picture of the phenomenon of prophecy are remarkably broad and deep. His presentation is lucid, accurate, incisive, and persuasive. All who are interested in the complex person and ministry of the historical Jesus, especially his work as a prophet, are in Witherington's debt for this volume."
-Marion L. Soards, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary "In ranging over two millennia of the phenomenon of prophecy and offering a sustained interpretation of the whole phenomenon, this book is something of a tour de force. It is not too surprising that it has not been attempted before. Witherington's command of the several scholarly fields his book traverses is impressive. This book will undoubtedly stimulate fresh study of biblical prophecy within the broad historical and cultural context it provides."
-Richard Bauckham, University of St. Andrews

Description: This lovely book is made of selections from scripture set in calligraphy and accompanied by dozens of black-and-white photos of religious art and scenes from nature. The result is a gentle companion for meditation, as well as an unexpected source of fresh insight into familiar themes. It's the perfect all-occasion, no-occasion gift for both others and for yourself. There is no commentary, only scripture for a more direct experience of God. The passages are drawn from several translations, including King James, the Revised Standard, the New English bible, and others. The selections give an overview of the life of Jesus, the basic concepts of Christian thought, the message of salvation, and how the character of Christian living affects our relationships with God and others. A key theme is "no prejudice"--that is, if your heart is filled with love, there's no room for hatred. With space for personal comments and reactions, this is a scriptural journal and guide for those new to Christianity as well as for believers. While appropriate for all occasions, it's particularly helpful for RCIA or confirmation candidates, for the sick or the newly bereaved, and for new parents.

Description: The words of Jesus of Nazareth continue to amaze, confuse and inspire listeners as much today as when they were first heard 2000 years ago. Here, retold in the words of the King James's Bible, are a selection of the most inspiring and memorable sayings of Jesus, recorded in the gospels of his disciples Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The words are complemented by details from paintings by great artists, celebrated for the universality of their vision, among them Raphael, Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Caravaggio and Poussin. The selection of words in this edition ranges from frank, compassionate advice offered to individuals thirsting after truth to devastating reprimands aimed at the hypocritical and blind.

Description: The Matthean Parables offers a fresh approach to the origin of Matthew's Gospel. It builds on current historical, literary, rhetorical and sociological studies of Matthew's Gospel to show how the Matthean parables illuminate the structure, purpose and theology of that gospel. The first part of the book establishes the need for a new attempt to define the genre of Matthew's Gospel, examines what is meant by a parable, and summarises the contribution made by the parables to that new attempt. The second part is a thorough exegetical, historical critical and literary study of all the Matthean parables in the context of the whole gospel and in the light of all the Matthean figurative material. An appendix illustrates the use of syntactical material in defining the character and style of a biblical text.

Description: Yacov Rambsel astonished biblical scholars and students alike with his astounding discovery of the Hebrew name of Jesus (Yeshua) encoded into virtually every messianic prophecy of the Old Testament. In "His Name is Jesus," Rambsel explores and explains this phenomenon and other new code discoveries that reveal behind doubt that Jesus is the Son of God. This book of impressive new evidence shows that only God could have inspired the writers of the Bible to record the Word of God. His Name is Jesus will challenge you to discover for yourself that the Bible is trustworthy and that Jesus is who He said He was.
