Interpreting Jesus puts into one volume the development of Wright's thought on this subject over the last three decades. It collects the essays-written for a wide variety of publications-that led up to his groundbreaking book Jesus and the Victory of God, and it includes such wide-ranging themes as:The Biblical Roots of Trinitarian TheologyThe History, Eschatology, and New Creation in John's GospelThe Evangelists' Use of the Old Testament as an Implicit Overarching NarrativeAnd The Public Meaning of the GospelsInterpreting Jesus displays Wright's engaging prose, his courage to go where few have gone, and his joy to bridge the work of the academy and the church.Here is a rich feast for any serious student of the Bible, especially of the New Testament. Detailed, incisive, and exquisitely nuanced exegesis, this collection will reward you with a clearer, deeper, and more informed appreciation of the recent advances in Jesus studies, and their significance for theology today.Many of the included studies have never been published or were made available only in hard-to-find larger volumes and journals. Review 'Just when I wondered what N. T. Wright might write next we get a 3 volume circus of revolving themes and perspectives and worldviews that illustrate why Wright is the most influential biblical scholar in the English-speaking world: Wright is one of the few who shapes conversations in both Gospels studies and Pauline studies. These essays bring to the front Wright's engaging prose, his undeniable courage to go where few have gone, and his joy to bridge the work of the academy and the church. Another treasure trove of studies.' -- Rev. Canon Dr. Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary 'N. T. Wright's collection of essays on Jesus, Paul, and Scripture are a brilliant trilogy of Wright's miscellaneous works. It is not only convenient to have them all together in one literary deposit, but they deserve reading as Wright waxes eloquently and with wisdom about who is Jesus, why is Paul so controversial, the atonement, the church, and how the Bible is authoritative today. An important part of the Wrightonian corpus for present and future generations or for anyone who wrestles with Jesus, Paul, God, and Scripture.' -- Rev. Dr. Michael F. Bird, Academic Dean and Lecturer in Theology, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia 'Few, if any, modern biblical scholars have written with the depth and breadth of N. T. Wright. These essays, from a wide variety of settings and publications, are full of treasures, old and new--even some modifications of earlier positions. They will delight Wright enthusiasts, challenge his critics, and educate all readers. No biblical scholar, theologian, or theological student should be ignorant of the most recent Wright perspectives on so many aspects of Scripture, Jesus, and Paul.' -- Michael J. Gorman, Raymond E. Brown Chair in Biblical Studies and Theology, St. Mary?s Seminary \u0026amp; University, Baltimore 'A trilogy of N. T. Wright's seminal essays on Scripture and hermeneutics, Jesus and the Gospels, and Paul and his Letters with a number of brand-new contributions thrown in for good measure? Count me in! For roughly three decades now, Wright's voice has been among the most valuable and valued by both the church and the academy. Rightly so! This three-volume collection--which will prove to be a treasure trove for serious students as well as for scholars of Bible, history, and theology--reveals why time and again.' -- Todd D.

(Matthew 28:18). As believers, we have Christ and never need to be afraid, yet we are not immune to the effects of evil. Even if we?re saved and trust in Christ, we may still find areas in which we just can?t get victory. Maybe it?s a sin we?ve confessed again and again, or a constant struggle with depression, anger, or lust. These long-imbedded patterns of shameful living continue to entangle us day after day, month after month, and even year after year. In Truly Free, bestselling author Robert Morris invites us into a glorious truth-that the promise of being set free from the slavery of sin is a promise to be set free completely. Although evil is real, we have the promise that the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus saves us, trains us to resist the power of evil, and delivers us from anything that holds us back. With Jesus, we can be finally free forever.This study guide includes leader helps, discussion questions, conversation starters, and between-session activities to enhance application of Robert?s teaching.Sessions include:Greater Is HeThree Big Warning SignsBeware the ChaldeansBreaking the Snare of PrideBreaking the Snare of LustSet FreeDesigned for use with the Truly Free DVD 9780718028749 (sold separately).

Topics include:How to spot New Age teachings, and why they?re dangerousBiblical ways to deal with persecution, spiritual warfare, and other post-conversion issuesHow to witness to a New Ager About the Author Raised in Christian Science, Doreen Virtue was formerly the top-selling New Age author at the world?s largest New Age publisher, until Jesus opened her eyes to the gospel. She got baptized for the first time, began spreading the gospel message, and denouncing the New Age. After getting fired from her New Age publisher and losing most of her friends, some of her family members, enduring cruel slander and spiritual warfare, and losing her home, Doreen and her husband, Michael, began rebuilding their lives on the solid foundation of Jesus. They learned how to trust in God, instead of trying to predict or control the future. Today, they live in the Pacific Northwest where they attend a biblically solid church and Doreen attends seminary studying biblical theology so that she won?t be deceived again.Doreen?s website is: DoreenVirtue.com and you can find her at Instagram.com\/DoreenVirtue, Facebook.com\/DoreenVirtueForJesus, and YouTube.com\/DoreenVirtueForJesus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43180372623615,"sku":"9780785234104","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/2123\/7759\/products\/41LpAmQrjaL.jpg?v=1684788289"},{"product_id":"thin-within-a-grace-oriented-approach-to-lasting-weight-loss-9780849908460","title":"Thin Within: A Grace-oriented Approach to Lasting Weight Loss","description":"\u003cp\u003eI want to lose weight, but dieting just doesn't seem to work.I've tried everything, and I'm still three sizes too big.Help!

From childhood, she didn't think issues of race had anything to do with her, and she was ignorant of many of the racial realities (including individual and systemic racism) in America today. A colorblind rhetoric had been stamped across her education, world view, and Christian theology.Then as an adult, Cara's life took on new, colorful hues. She realized that white people in her generation, seeking to move beyond ancestral racism, had swung so far in believing a colorblind rhetoric that they tried to act as if they didn't see race at all.When Cara met and fell in love with the son of black icon, James Meredith, the power of love helped her see color. She began to notice the shades of life already present in the world around her, while also learning to listen in new ways to black voices of the past. After she married and their little family grew to include two mixed-race sons, Cara knew she would never see the world through a colorless lens again. Cara Meredith's journey will serve as an invitation into conversations of justice, race, and privilege, asking key questions, such as:What does it mean to navigate ongoing and desperately needed conversations of race and justice?What does it mean for white people to listen and learn from the realities our black and brown brothers and sisters face every day?What does it mean to teach the next generation a theology of justice, reconciliation, and love?What does it mean to dig into the stories of our past, both historically and theologically, to see the imago Dei in everyone? Plus, Cara offers an extensive Notes and Recommended Reading section at the end of the book, so you can continue learning, listening, and engaging in this important conversation. About the Author Cara Meredith is a writer and speaker whose work has appeared in numerous print and online publications, including Christianity Today, iBelieve, and For Every Mom.

This five-step method will help managers make survivors feel supported and understood. The Empathetic Workplace guides supervisors of any level through an understanding of how stories of trauma impact the brain of both the survivor and the listener, as well as the tools to handle the interaction appropriately, to help the listener, the organization, and most importantly, the survivor. The easy-to-follow LASER method outlined in these pages includes the following elements that all managers should know and understand:Listen-Controlling your own reaction, managing your body language, asking open-ended questions, hearing what is not being said, and winding down the speaker when the conversation becomes unproductive are essential elements in being a good listener.Acknowledge-Once someone shares a difficult personal story with you, it is important to acknowledge that gift. Share-You can help the speaker regain some measure of control by sharing information with him or her about what happened or what happens next, your personal or organizational values, and what you don?t yet know but hope to learn.Empower-You can help the traumatized person by providing him or her with resources that are available to them through the company or outside groups. Return-The final step is to ensure that the traumatized person has a way to come back later when he or she cannot remember all that you said, thinks of more questions, or wishes for updates. The LASER technique can benefit all who are responsible for others, from top-tier managers at Fortune 500 companies to Residence Advisors in college dormitories.

Nothing tragic. Nothing obscure or awful. Just good old-fashioned family failure. Then in my early adulthood, I found myself repeating the very same home I grew up in and assimilating into American statistics myself. In response to the wreckage, I began driving. When I thought I was at the end of it all, I discovered that I was really at the beginning of a grand adventure. I was off to find my father. And finding my father would lead to finding security.Security is perhaps one of our greatest needs as humans. Romantics say love is our greatest need. Philosophers say knowledge is our greatest needs. Mystics say transcendence is our greatest need. But what if security is in-fact our greatest need? Who would we be as a people, as a church, and as a nation if we felt a sense of security in our lives? Not superficial security where life is predictable, but a sacred security. One that?s firm in our identity.Affirmation by a father is something we all need, whether we want to admit it or not. Not having my father around in my most critical adolescent years created an insecurity in me that I eventually transferred over to my faith. I even transferred it over leaders and other authorities in my life. A breeding ground for insecurity. It wasn?t until I found the secrets of beauty and adversity, and found the Father in the wild, that I became healthy and whole.This journey is an introspective look at faith and freedom, and finding a father, with crisis as a catalyst. It?s a journey across the wilderness of America, through prairies and mountains, across National Parks and along interstates, and ultimately the highways of the heart and mind. Review Most people only dream of the reality of taking a trip out west or seeing the countryside of America from the seat of a motorcycle on Route 66.  In Father in the Wild, author and Pastor Dave Herring places the reader in the front passenger seat of his mind--through the adverse roads of life; times that we can all relate to as we come face to face with our failures and the desire to find the true calling God has laid in our hearts.  Through endless grassy prairies and over mighty mountains, I was absolutely inspired and found great comfort in knowing that trials and adversity are something we all face.  Simply stated, this book is unlike any other and is sure to leave you feeling like you have arrived with a smile on your soul.Jonathan E.

I am so pleased that he has produced this resource on evangelism for leaders.' -- Nicky Gumbel, pioneer of The Alpha Course 'We need a revival: personally, in our churches, in our communities, and in the nation. And we need to be okay trying new things, talking less, listening more, asking better questions, and creating space for real, deep spiritual renewal to happen over time. I recommend this book to any church leader looking to rethink the way their communities live and share good news. And I want my college students to get a hold of this book that speaks their language and understands their experience. Pay attention to what Craig says!' -- Miriam Swanson, Global Student Mission; leader, Fusion Movement 'The fork in culture between followers of Jesus and the unchurched is widening. This calls not for alarm or fear, nor should we dig in our heels to continue using 'tried and true' methods that may have worked in a different cultural moment in the past. Craig's book offers seven ways to revive evangelism in an effective way today, and I think he is on to something. He writes with a hopeful and encouraging perspective and offers significant research and insights to reach unchurched Millennials and those in Gen Z. I commend this timely book!' -- Ed Stetzer, Wheaton College 'Craig writes as someone who understands the challenges we have faced and the emotional fatigue many of us have experienced. In How to Revive Evangelism he offers a practical and realistic approach that will inspire you to dream again.' -- Romal Tune, author, Love Is an Inside Job; vice president, TMS Global 'This book by my friend Craig is a breath of fresh air in the somewhat stale and formulaic genre of writing on evangelism. Craig is an inspiring leader and a good exemplar of these ideas, and his book deserves a wide audience.' -- Alan Hirsch, award-winning author and founder, Movement Leaders Collective and Forge Missional Training Network 'Evangelism is a great challenge in these 'post everything' days. Many have retreated, discouraged, from the front lines, sure that there's nothing to be done. My friend Craig lays out seven practical, strategic changes we can and should make in our approach to evangelism. This isn't one more 'sure-fire program' but rather an inspirational journey that can help us become more effective. Be renewed as you read and rediscover what you were made for!' -- Kevin Palau, president, Luis Palau Association 'Craig Springer's new book equips us in a way of evangelism which is real, authentic, holistic, transformative, and refreshing. If you read it, you will walk away empowered and excited to evangelize again.' -- Sam Chan, author, Evangelism in a Skeptical World; public speaker for City Bible Forum, Australia 'I'm thrilled for Craig's new book! This is a deeply challenging yet inspirational, hope-filled clarion call for the church.' -- Keri Ladouceur, pastor, Community Christian Church; founder, New Ground Network 'A timely reminder that people are looking to belong before they believe.

Some love him, applauding him as a good teacher, a political revolutionary, or a prophetic voice speaking out against the rich and powerful. Others find him bigoted, old-fashioned, and narrow minded, even as they are forced to admit that his words and teachings are utterly unique. His presence infuses our political discussions and our dinner table debates, making him impossible to ignore. Yet sadly, in many churches today, the Jesus we meet is nothing more than a kindly man with children on his lap and a smile on his face. He is presented as a good person, a positive influence--a mixture of Mr. Rogers and Tony Robbins. The Jesus of American Christianity is meek, gentle, safe, and fun, always ready to be your best friend.When we dig more deeply into the Bible, we discover a very different picture. Wherever Jesus went in his life, from the day he was born until the day he died, scandal and controversy followed him. Be warned. If you investigate Jesus beyond the superficial glance most give him today you will be challenged and confronted. Jesus creates in each person who encounters him a crisis of faith, forcing us to a point of decision.When used together with The Problem of Jesus, A Video Study, this study guide helps you look beyond the superficial understandings of Jesus to examine his hard-hitting claims and teachings, including:The reliable evidence that Jesus was a real, historical figureThe oft-unexamined cost of following JesusHis claim to be God, the Creator of all, worthy of worshipHis teachings and stories, which have always offended religious peopleHis miracles and actions, what they meant in the ancient world--and todayThe claims of Jesus to be the only, exclusive path to GodThe Problem of Jesus Study Guide confronts you with the real Jesus of history, asking you to wrestle with the teachings, claims, and actions of the man who has forever altered the course of human history.
