Introductory psychology courses can raise significant questions about the nature of being human. Christianity, with its emphasis on humans made in the image of God, has a clear perspective. Psychology offers answers too, but they are often subtly implied. This introductory guide, drawn from more than fifty years of classroom experience, provides students with a coherent framework for considering psychology from a Christian perspective. The authors explore biblical themes of human nature in relation to all major areas of psychology, showing how a Christian understanding of humans can inform the study of psychology. Brief, accessible chapters correspond to standard introductory psychology textbooks, making this an excellent supplemental text. End-of-chapter questions are included. A test bank for professors is available through Baker Academic's Textbook eSources.

"A signal contribution to evangelical theology"Offering biblical and theological reasons for engaging the church's diverse cultural contexts, both past and present, Stephen Pardue makes a distinctively theological case that evangelicals in the West should take their Majority World counterparts as serious dialogue partners."This book is an encouragement to readers to embrace the concept of unity in diversity that is vividly illustrated in Revelation 7. Pardue has succeeded in inviting Majority World evangelical voices into the theological conversation that has, for too long, been dominated by the West."--Elizabeth Mburu, Africa International University, Kenya; Langham Literature Regional Coordinator, Anglophone Africa"Here is a work in constructive theology that should set the direction for the global evangelical movement."--Simon Chan, editor, Asia Journal of Theology"This is a signal contribution to evangelical theology from one who identifies with and understands both it and the global church."--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"An impressively informed argument for Western evangelicals to welcome theological contributions from around the world."--M. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas), Wheaton College and Graduate School"This book provides solid theological frameworks along with relevant case studies that support a vision of an evangelical theology enriched by contextual and historical expressions of the Christian faith. A precious gift to the global church!"--Theresa R. Lua, general secretary, Asia Theological Association; director, Global Theology, World Evangelical Alliance"Pardue bravely takes on Western evangelical theologians' varied responses to broad theological issues pertaining to the phenomenon of the global church and the field of contextual theology."--Victor I. Ezigbo, Bethel University"Pardue writes out of a hermeneutic of charity that welcomes the many voices from the global church to engage with the biblical and historic theological traditions, and hence invites us all to consider our own posture toward others that we may before have held at arm's length."--Amos Yong, Fuller Theological Seminary"A timely and unique contribution to evangelical theology. I hope this book becomes the standard reference point for future conversations regarding how Western theology engages with the contributions of the Majority World."--Uche Anizor, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

"Having written a highly regarded commentary on Paul's Letter to the Romans in the BECNT series, Tom Schreiner presents here a superb commentary on John's Revelation. It does not require prophetic insight to say that his new commentary will be as much appreciated by scholars, students, and pastors alike as his commentary on Romans. Schreiner consistently focuses on the meaning of the text, which he surveys and assesses with his customary fairness and thoughtfulness. Readers will benefit from Schreiner's exegetical expertise, linguistic prowess, familiarity with international scholarship, judicious engagement with older and newer debates, and, perhaps most important, his love for the church."--Eckhard J. Schnabel, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"Schreiner's commentary is a welcome addition to the renaissance of study devoted to the Apocalypse over the last few decades. Among its strengths are an unswerving focus on the biblical text itself, a command of the relevant secondary literature without being controlled by it, a clear writing style, and a generous spirit of engagement with a variety of views and authors. The volume is destined to be a must-read for all serious students of Revelation."--John Christopher Thomas, Pentecostal Theological Seminary; Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, Bangor University, North Wales"The book of Revelation is, at the same time, one of the most exhilarating and one of the most complicated books in the New Testament. To navigate these rough waters, one needs an able guide at the helm. Tom Schreiner proves to be such a guide in this wonderful commentary. It is both erudite and accessible, scholarly yet practical, and filled with a plethora of new insights and observations. I highly recommend it."--Michael J. Kruger, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina

Never doubt your worth againYou're not good enough. How many of us internalize this belief before we even reach adulthood? How many of us feel unworthy and unable to live up to what seem like impossible, completely arbitrary standards? Where do these toxic beliefs about ourselves come from? And who told us there is a way we are "supposed" to be, anyway? With passion and compassion, educator and podcaster Caroline J. Sumlin reveals the force that keeps all of us, whether we are part of a marginalized group or not, from freely expressing who we are as image bearers of God: white supremacy culture. Sharing her own story, she helps us ● see the wide-ranging effects of living in a culture of white supremacy● identify the damaging beliefs we internalize from our very earliest days● find clarity and freedom as we dismantle the oppressive structures that hem us in and force us to conformIf you have struggled with perfectionism, self-doubt, unworthiness, or the unrelenting pressure to pursue someone else's version of "success," you will find here the tools you need to silence the voices that seek to keep you down and to value yourself as never before."A kind yet stirring reminder that there are no winners under white supremacy's weight. Get ready to look backward to see the truth of our history, inward to unlearn the lies we believe, and forward to work toward a bright, free future."--Danielle Coke, illustrator and activist"This book will help you understand not just what is broken in our racist and patriarchal society but how it connects to your own story. As a white woman and a recovering perfectionist, I am so grateful this book exists."--Jenny Booth Potter, author of Doing Nothing Is No Longer an Option

"A successful evangelical interpretation of a fascinating biblical book""The commentary excellently combines current research in America and Europe on the literary history of the book of Numbers with a theological interpretation of the biblical text that allows the Word of God to become recognizable in a multitude of voices in the text. The commentary is both critical and evangelical in the best sense of the word and an important aid to understanding the book of Numbers for teaching and preaching."--Eckart Otto, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich (emeritus); University of Pretoria, South Africa"This is a great contribution to this important series. Awabdy's enthusiasm for Numbers is infectious. He is well versed in the relevant ancient Near Eastern literary and cultural backgrounds as well as in the scholarly discussion of the Pentateuch. He presents his own carefully crafted translation with notes justifying grammatical choices. His discussion is accessible and remains ever cognizant of the broader literary and cultural contexts while also being sensitive to theological themes."--John A. Cook, Asbury Theological Seminary"Reasoned, comprehensible, and illuminating, Awabdy's commentary is easy to read and offers insights for every reader through cross-references to the ancient Near East tradition. The narrative form is analyzed, and the relevant motifs are explained. The focus is not on literary history but on the theological message of the book. This is a successful evangelical interpretation of a fascinating biblical book."--Christian Frevel, Ruhr-Universität, Bochum, Germany"Even for Pentateuch experts, the book of Numbers is often a rather unknown book. All the more welcome is a commentary like this one, which combines critical scholarship and theological reflection in such a way that it not only can be used by pastors and teachers for preaching and teaching but also can be read with great profit by specialists in biblical studies. It is the theological focus that sets this commentary apart from many others."--Benjamin Kilchör, Universitäre Theologische Hochschule, Basel, Switzerland

"Do this in remembrance of Me."From the very beginning, the Lord's Supper has stood at the heart of Christian worship. But over the years we've trivialized it, squeezing it in between "real" worship. If Jesus lives in us, and the Holy Spirit is poured out on us, why do we need to eat bread and drink grape juice or wine? Does it really matter?It does matter--and it's life-changing, says leading Pentecostal theologian Jonathan Black. With warmth and depth, he explores not only how the table is still a powerful place of transformation and encounter with Jesus, but also how we can experience Christ's promise of presence, glory, healing, forgiveness, victory, and intimacy when we answer His call to come to the table.Whether you're feeling the lack of His presence, are ashamed of sin in your life, or have never felt anything during Communion, Christ's invitation to partake in His feast is your invitation to taste and see that the Lord is good.
