Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covenant and Hope centers around two main themes in Jewish-Christian dialogue: "Covenant, Mission, and Relation to the Other" and "Hope and Responsibility for the Human Future." In the first section scholars from both faiths analyze the idea of covenant, how it determines their religious commitments, behavior, and theology, and how their covenantal theology shapes their relations with people outside their religious communities. The second section focuses on the foundation for religious hope, how belief in the future can be nourished, and on our practical and philosophic responsibility to work for a better human future.

Book excerpt: Jesus and the Powers rediscovers Jesus response to the imperial power of his day. Richard A. Horsley describes the relevance of political realities under great empires for understanding the rise of covenantal theology and apocalyptic vision in Israels history; then he explores aspects of Jesus activity in the context of the Roman Empire. Horsley examines Jesus as an exorcist and prophetic figure and the character of his death by crucifixion; then turns to discuss how the community life in the early Pauline assemblies gave form to a new response to imperial powers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the basis of a study of "east wind" in the Bible -- "whirlwind" in Job -- Janzen proposes that the prominence God gives to rain in Job 38, with its renewal of the parched earth and the ensuing vigor of all forms of life, signals God's response to Job's thirst, heals Job's bitterness, and restores him to a life at the end of which he dies contented. Janzen demonstrates how life-crippling bitterness is transcended and hope in life's worthwhileness is restored in the face of grievous evil. The resolution of the Joban question lies not in a vindication of divine justice but, rather, in God's renewal of Job's appetite for life. Janzen underscores this interpretation with a candid epilogue on his own struggle with aggressive prostate cancer, which enabled him to connect personally with Job's story and to find a fresh and illuminating grace."--From publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Their Darkest Hour, Where Would Hope Be Found? In one life-changing moment, the lives of the exiles in Babylon are thrown into despair when a decree from the king's palace calls for the annihilation of every Jewish man, woman, and child throughout the empire in less than one year. Ezra, a quiet but brilliant scholar, soon finds himself called upon to become the leader of his people. Forced to rally an army when all his training has been in the Torah, he struggles to bring hope in a time of utter despair, when dreams of the future--of family and love--seem impossible. In Keepers of the Covenant, acclaimed novelist Lynn Austin weaves together the struggles and stories of both Jews and Gentiles, creating a tapestry of faith and doubt, love and loss. Here, the Old Testament comes to life, demonstrating the everlasting hope displayed in God's unwavering love for His people. Praise of Lynn Austin's Restoration Chronicles "...a powerful new historical series that brings the Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah to life." --Library Journal "Austin shines a bright light on ancient Jewish life and lands. Biblical fiction fans will cheer her latest offering, which bolsters this challenging genre." --Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you looking for solid Bible Studies to add to your Messianic Jewish shelf or display in your Christian bookstore? Pastors and everyday Christians are looking to you for help in reaching out to their Jewish friends, family and acquaintances, and that s what they ll find in John B. Metzger s latest book in his series on Jewish Evangelism. This book is addressed mainly to believers who are concerned about their Jewish loved ones. Metzger brings up a good point: How does the New Covenant bring salvation? While indeed glorious, the Mosaic Law has never been able to save, regenerate, or fill mankind with God s Holy Spirit, yet God s plan to do so is interwoven throughout the Old and New Testament Scriptures. So how is God reaching out to Jewish people as well as all mankind? As Christians, we know that Jesus (Yeshua) initiated the New Covenant at the time of His death. Yet God first promised the New Covenant blessing to Israel in Jeremiah 31:31-34. He is still on track to fulfill His promise to Israel, as the Bible makes clear. God has promised to gloriously restore Israel as a nation with a new heart, but Israel has tied itself to a millstone called the Mosaic Law and banks everything on Law-keeping and the Abrahamic Covenant, which do not promise salvation. Israel s Only Hope lies entirely in Jeremiah s New Covenant. In this thoroughly researched study, John Metzger covers the following: (1) what the New Covenant is, and what it is not, as developed by the Prophets, (2) how the New Covenant is tied to Jewish people and Messiah s return, and (3) how the overflowing spiritual blessings of the New Covenant are available for whosoever believes in the sacrificial blood of Yeshua (Jesus) in the current Age of Grace. Detailed appendices include in-demand topics regarding the events of the end times based on Scripture and solid theology."

Book excerpt: Covenant: A Vital Element of Reformed Theology provides a multi-disciplinary reflection on the theme of the covenant, from historical, biblical-theological and systematic-theological perspectives. The interaction between exegesis and dogmatics in the volume reveals the potential and relevance of this biblical motif. It proves to be vital in building bridges between God’s revelation in the past and the actual question of how to live with him today.

Barcellos
