  • Matthew's Theological Grammar: The Father and The Son by Joshua Leim

    Matthew's Theological Grammar: The Father and The Son

    Joshua Leim

    In this work, Joshua Leim attempts to bring greater clarity to the articulation of Jesus' identity in Matthew by attending more precisely to two linguistic patterns woven deeply into the entire narrative's presentation of Jesus: Matthew's christological use of "worship/obeisance" language (proskyneo) and his paternal-filial idiom. Along with exploring the role these linguistic patterns play in the narrative, the author attempts to hear such language in relation to early Judaism and its articulation of the identity of the God of Israel. The study of these various elements yields the conclusion that the identity of God and Jesus Christ are inseparably related in Matthew's Gospel. Matthew articulates the identity of Israel's God around the Father-Son relation.

  • The Customer Trap: How to Avoid the Biggest Mistake in Business by Timothy J. Wilkinson

  • Let Creation Rejoice: Biblical Hope and Ecological Crisis by Jonathan Moo

    Let Creation Rejoice: Biblical Hope and Ecological Crisis

    Jonathan Moo

    "Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes." Psalm 96:13

    The Bible is bathed with images of God caring for his creation in all its complexity. Yet in the face of climate change and other environmental trends, philosophers, filmmakers, environmentalists, politicians and senior scientists increasingly resort to apocalyptic rhetoric to warn us that a so-called perfect storm of factors threatens the future of life on earth. Yet if the Christian gospel fundamentally reorients us in our relationship to God and his world, then there ought to be something radically distinctive about our attitude and approach to such threats. In short, there ought to be a place for hope. And there ought to be a place for Christians to participate in that hope. Moo and White therefore reflect on the difference the Bible's vision of the future of all of creation makes.

    Why should creation rejoice? Because God loves and cares the world he made.

  • As Long as the Earth Endures: The Bible, Creation And The Environment by Jonathan Moo and Robin Routledge

    Jonathan Moo and Robin Routledge

    For Christians who cultivate theological acuity, so that they see things as God sees them. This stimulating volume offers biblical, theological and scientific perspectives on creation and the environment. You'll be left reflecting God's love and wisdom in how we relate to all he has made. Part of Christian 'discipleship of the mind' is to learn to cultivate theological acuity, so that we see things as God sees them - and act accordingly. 'As Long as the Earth Endures' is a book with regard to creation and our responsibilities in and for it, the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ illumines much that would otherwise remain shadowy and unresolved.Hence, this stimulating volume called 'As Long as the Earth Endures' offers biblical, theological and scientific perspectives on creation and the environment, in the hope that we may learn to see the world more clearly, to perceive its beauty and brokenness when and where we ought, and to reflect God's love and wisdom in how we relate to all he has made.

  • A Voluntary Exile: Chinese Christianity and Cultural Confluence Since 1552 by Anthony E. Clark

    A Voluntary Exile: Chinese Christianity and Cultural Confluence Since 1552

    Anthony E. Clark

    Western missionaries in China were challenged by something they could not have encountered in their native culture; most Westerners were Christian, and competitions in their own countries were principally denominational. Once they entered China they unwittingly became spiritual merchants who marketed Christianity as only one religion among the long-established purveyors of other religions, such as the masters of Buddhist and Daoist rites. A Voluntary Exile explores the convergence of cultures. This collection of new and insightful research considers themes of religious encounter and accommodation in China from 1552 to the present, and confronts how both Western Europeans and indigenous Chinese mitigated the cultural and religious antagonisms that resulted from cultural misunderstanding. The studies in this work identify areas where missionary accommodation in China has succeeded and failed, and offers new insights into what contributed to cultural conflict and confluence.
