    Divine jealousy plays a central role in God’s activities throughout human history yet it is virtually ignored among those in the church today.

    Christians desire leaders who are dynamic, educated, and entertaining, but it is highly unlikely you will ever see jealous as one of the desired qualities of leaders within the church. However, jealousy is one of the primary attributes of the great leaders in the bible.

    As human jealousy is seldom uncontaminated with sin, it tends only to be understood as a negative emotion. However, the Bible tells us that God is a jealous God, and Erik Thoennes offers us unique insights into Godly jealousy as taught in Scripture, and also looks closely at biblical leaders who displayed Godly human jealousy. Thoennes masterfully draws ethical and theological implications from godly jealousy for the 21st Century.

    This book is a must read for anyone who is concerned with character development and who seeks to know the central values needed in the church today.

  • Great Exchange : My Sin For His Righteousness

    $16.29

    Believers often take for granted the great act of salvation provided to us by the work of Jesus Christ. Beginning with the Old Testament sacrifices and the prophecies that foreshadowed Christ, authors Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington guide believers through the biblical overview of Christ’s atonement. The Great Exchange helps believers see how the Old Testament practices tie in with the New Testament discussion of Christ’s great work of salvation.

    As believers work through these principles, they will begin to recognize that even though we deserve condemnation and punishment from a holy God, he has given us the opportunity to experience his great riches through his Son, Jesus Christ. The clear gospel message presented throughout the entire book offers a great appreciation of Christ for believers and an opportunity for salvation for unbelievers.

  • Putting Jesus In His Place

    $17.50

    The central theological distinctive of Christianity – that Jesus is God incarnate – has repeatedly come under fire from adherents to other religions and scholars who interpret Jesus as a prophet, angel, or guru. Putting Jesus in His Place is designed to introduce Christians to the wealth of biblical teaching on the deity of Christ. Using evidence from the New Testament, this book helps readers appreciate the significance of Christ’s deity in a personal relationship with Him, and gives them the confidence to share the truth about Jesus with others.

  • Believers Baptism : Sign Of The New Covenant In Christ

    $18.99

    Is believer’s baptism the clear teaching of the New Testament Scriptures? What are the historical and theological challenges to believer’s baptism? What are the practical applications for believer’s baptism today? Volume two in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE & THEOLOGY (NACSBT) series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons addresses these compelling questions.

    Indeed, Believer’s Baptism begins with the belief that believer’s baptism (as opposed to infant baptism or other faith proclaiming methods) is the clear teaching of the New Testament. Along the way, the argument is supported by written contributions from Andreas Kostenberger, Robert Stein, Thomas Schreiner, Stephen Wellum, Steve McKinion, Jonathan Rainbow, Shawn Wright, and Mark Dever.

    The relationship between God and his people is understood in various ways by the biblical writers, and it is arguably the apostle Paul who uses the richest vocabulary.

    Unique to Paul’s writings is the term huiothesia, the process or act of being adopted as son(s). It occurs five times in three of his letters, where it functions as a key theological metaphor.

    In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Trevor Burke argues that huiothesia has been misunderstood, misrepresented or neglected through scholarly preoccupation with its cultural background. He redresses the balance in this comprehensive study, which discusses metaphor theory; explores the background to huiothesia; considers the roles of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; examines the moral implications of adoption, and its relationship with honor; and concludes with the consequences for Christian believers as they live in the tension between the now and the not yet of their adoption into God’s new family.

    Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

  • Gods Indwelling Presence

    $12.99

    Does the Holy Spirit do the same things in New Testament times that He did in Old Testament times? Volume one in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE AND THEOLOGY series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons addresses this challenging subject.

    God’s Indwelling Presence asks and explores the question: What are the differences and similarities between Old Testament and New Testament believers? Did God dwell in Old Testament believers as He does in New Testament believers? Were Old Testament believers born again (that is, did they experience regeneration)? What do the words indwelling and regeneration mean? How is the Holy Spirit’s ministry similar or different during Old Testament and New Testament times?

    Users will find this an excellent extension of the long-respected NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY.

  • Millennialism : The Two Major Views (Reprinted)

    $14.99

    Millennialism: The Two Major Views, a 400-page paperback classic by Dr. Charles Feinberg, has just been re-issued by BMH Books and is now shipping. Feinberg carefully and systematically lays out the biblical interpretation systems for both the Premillennial and Amillennial views. Alva J. McClain says, The author’s approach and method is primarily biblical; that is, his appeal is to Scripture rather than to subsequent church Fathers and scholarly opinion, although the latter is not ignored.

    The book has 20 chapters, and the author begins with a discussion of biblical interpretation, dispensationalism and covenantism, and then analyzes both the premillennial and amillenial systems of thought, ending with seven chapters of comparison and conclusion.
