In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon offers a vibrantly insightful perspective on the world and life in it. He examines succinctly the futility, the emptiness, and the hopelessness of life under the sun - life apart from God. At the same time, he suggests the wonder and value of even the simplest act when performed with God and for His glory. Life Beyond the Sun considers Solomon's worldview and discusses how Solomon seems to anticipate and respond to philosophies that came after him. Life Beyond the Sun supplies a generous amount of parallels from philosophers through the ages for comparison, and addresses epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, social political philosophies, environmental ethics, the is/ought problem, the existence of God, the problem of evil, definitions of good and foundations of morality, and ultimate meaning in life.

Authentic Social Justice affirms the equality of all and the need for justice for all by examining the implications of a Biblical approach to socio-political issues, including foundations for individual rights, life and death, gender, equality, and sexuality, racial justice, and environmental ethics. Authentic Social Justice explains that the Biblical model results in a kind of social justice that is authentic in a way that we were all created to enjoy.

So What Applied Biblical Worldview: Essays on Christian Ethics answers this philosophically significant question by examining worldview foundations and ethics implications for Christians and non-Christians alike. Building with a Biblical framework, several key areas are considered including: individual conduct, life and death, gender, sexuality, marriage, parental relationships, church function, economics, government, social justice, environment, pluralism, and the future.

The Sofa Rule proposes Biblical resolutions to seeming paradoxes considered historically by Calvinism, Arminianism, the problem of evil, open theism, and more. The Sofa Rule examines what the Bible says, compares that with popular philosophical views and theological understandings, and then considers why these things matter for everyday life. Designed as a college or seminary textbook, The Sofa Rule is written in a popular style accessible even to those unfamiliar with the controversies, who simply want to understand how God can be sovereign while people have choice at the same time. The Sofa Rule strives to be a practical handbook, challenging its readers to action, and not simply intellectual exercise in philosophy, theology, and worldview.

Worldview, philosophy, theology, and hermeneutics are inextricably linked by internal concepts shared between the systems. Priority in Biblical Hermeneutics and Theological Method advocates for and explains the value of consistently applying the literal grammatical historical hermeneutic for Biblical interpretation, and suggests that it is hermeneutics that sets the proper trajectory for engaging these interdisciplinary fields of study.

" This book in honor of Dr. Charles Ryrie was written by scholars who hold to the same basic view of Dispensationalism for which he is noted. In their chapters they address subjects related directly or indirectly to that system of theology. They exhibit a confirmed commitment to the authority, power, sufficiency, original languages, and correct interpretation of the Scripture. Their work reflects careful exegesis of pertinent Biblical passages and significant interaction with writings of scholars who disagree with the Dispensational view of the Bible. Readers will be introduced to subjects not normally addressed by Dispensational authors.....

The Christian life is intended to be a relationship with God. Too often we emphasize what He has done for us, but fail to appreciate who He actually is. Gifted focuses the readers' attention not just on the gifts God provides, but on who He is and why He has provided the gifts in the first place. To unwrap spiritual gifts we need to understand who the Holy Spirit is and how He works in our lives. Gifted helps readers to take a look at God's gifts and how we should use them, from the perspective of the Giver.

It has been five-hundred years since Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door at Wittenberg, fanning the flames of the Protestant Reformation. Forged from the fires of the Reformation's heightened attention to the Bible and its details, a more refined and systematic dispensational understanding has developed and continues to be shaped. This book, written by a diverse and accomplished group of dispensational scholars, articulates in each and every chapter how, five-hundred years later, dispensational thought upholds and advances the legacy of the Reformation unlike any other theological system in Christian tradition.

A Concise Bible Survey: Tracing the Promises of God surveys the entire Bible with a chronological focus and visual learning style in mind. Studying the books of the Bible in chronological order helps readers see and understand how God is working throughout history, and how the promises of God provide the central narrative thread connecting all the Biblical books. A Concise Bible Survey outlines in graphic chart form every book of the Bible, and illustrates how groupings of books fit together. Since the first edition was published in 2005, it has been enjoyed by students of all ages - from the seminary classroom to the living room. The simplicity and detail of A Concise Bible Survey make it a beneficial study for anyone wishing to understand the Bible better.

Integración Exegesis y Exposición es un manual que introduce el estudio bíblico (exégesis) y la comunicación de la Biblia en la predicación y la enseñanza (exposición). Este método alienta a los comunicadores a incorporar el proceso de estudio bíblico en la presentación del mensaje, para que los estudiantes descubran no sólo cómo entender la porción de la Escritura que se comunica en ese momento, sino también para que puedan desarrollar sus propias habilidades en el estudio de la Biblia . La premisa de integrar la exégesis y la exposición es que el estudio, la práctica y la comunicación de la Biblia están interconectados. La relación entre estos tres sugiere que para alentar la transformación mediante la renovación de la mente, los comunicadores de la Biblia deben adoptar un enfoque más holístico e integrado para manejar la Biblia - un enfoque que es modelado en la Biblia misma.

Integrating Exegesis and Exposition is a handbook introducing Biblical study (exegesis) and the communication of the Bible in preaching and teaching (exposition). This method encourages communicators to incorporate the process of Bible study into the presentation of the message, so that learners discover not only how to understand the portion of Scripture being communicated at that moment, but also so that they can develop their own skills in Bible study. The premise of Integrating Exegesis and Exposition is that the study, practice, and communication of the Bible are interconnected. The relationship between these three suggests that to encourage transformation by the renewing of the mind, communicators of the Bible ought to take a more holistic and integrated approach to handling the Bible - an approach that is modeled in the Bible itself.
