Mark Sheridan
Language for God in Patristic Tradition
Wrestling with Biblical Anthropomorphism
Criticism of myth in the Bible is not a modern problem
Its roots go back to the earliest Christ ian theologians and
before them to ancient Greek and Jewish thinkers The
dilemma posed by texts that ascribe human characteristics
and emotions to the divine is a perennial problem and we
have much to learn from the ancient attempts to address it
Mark Sheridan provides a theological and historical
analysis of the patrist ic interpretation of Scripturersquos
anthropomorphic and anthropopathic language for God
Rather than reject the Bible as mere stories ancient Jewish
and Christian theologians read these texts allegorically or
theologically in order to discover the truth contained within
them They recognized that an edifying and appropriate
interpretation of these stories required that one start from
the understanding that ldquoGod is not a human beingrdquo (Num
2319) Sheridan brings the patristic tradition into conversa-
tion with modern interpreters to show the abiding signifi-
cance of its theological interpretation for today
This work is a landmark resource for students of ancient
Christian theology Wide-ranging in scope and accessible in
its analysis it demonstrates that those engaged in theo-logical interpretation of Scripture have much to gain from
studying their forebears in the faith
Mark Sheridan is a Benedictine monk of Dormition
Abbey in Jerusalem and professor emeritus in the Faculty of
Theology of the Pontificio Ateneo S Anselmo Rome where
he served as dean of the Faculty of Theology (1998ndash2005)
and Rector Magnificus (2005ndash2009) of the Athenaeum

Hidden But Now Revealed
A Biblical Theology of Mystery
When reading through the Bible it is impossible to ignore
the troubling fact that Israel and its leadersmdashand even Jesusrsquo
own disciplesmdashseem unable to fully grasp the messianic
identity and climactic mission of Jesus If his true deity
death resurrection and role in the establishment of Godrsquos
eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and
in his own teachings how could the leading biblical scholars
of their time miss it
This book explores the biblical conception of mystery as
an initial partially hidden revelation that is subsequently
more fully revealed Exploring all the occurrences of the
term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found
in conjunction with them this work sharpens our under-
standing of how the Old Testament relates to the New and
explores topics such as kingdom crucifixion the relation-
ship between Jews and Gentiles and more
G K Beale (PhD University of Cambridge) holds the
J Gresham Machen Chair of New Testament at Westminster

tion (New International Greek Testament Commentary) 1-2
Thessalonians (The IVP New Testament Commentary Series)

Sanctification
Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image
driven age

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

Christianity and Western Culture program He is also the
coeditor of The Pietist Impulse in Christianity

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham
Ben Witherington III (PhD University of Durham) is
Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury

Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament

Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken
notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus
that enlarge and correct a mistaken story Is the real Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well

Mark Sheridan
Language for God in Patristic Tradition
Wrestling with Biblical Anthropomorphism
Criticism of myth in the Bible is not a modern problem
Its roots go back to the earliest Christ ian theologians and
before them to ancient Greek and Jewish thinkers The
dilemma posed by texts that ascribe human characteristics
and emotions to the divine is a perennial problem and we
have much to learn from the ancient attempts to address it
Mark Sheridan provides a theological and historical
analysis of the patrist ic interpretation of Scripturersquos
anthropomorphic and anthropopathic language for God
Rather than reject the Bible as mere stories ancient Jewish
and Christian theologians read these texts allegorically or
theologically in order to discover the truth contained within
them They recognized that an edifying and appropriate
interpretation of these stories required that one start from
the understanding that ldquoGod is not a human beingrdquo (Num
2319) Sheridan brings the patristic tradition into conversa-
tion with modern interpreters to show the abiding signifi-
cance of its theological interpretation for today
This work is a landmark resource for students of ancient
Christian theology Wide-ranging in scope and accessible in
its analysis it demonstrates that those engaged in theo-logical interpretation of Scripture have much to gain from
studying their forebears in the faith
Mark Sheridan is a Benedictine monk of Dormition
Abbey in Jerusalem and professor emeritus in the Faculty of
Theology of the Pontificio Ateneo S Anselmo Rome where
he served as dean of the Faculty of Theology (1998ndash2005)
and Rector Magnificus (2005ndash2009) of the Athenaeum

Hidden But Now Revealed
A Biblical Theology of Mystery
When reading through the Bible it is impossible to ignore
the troubling fact that Israel and its leadersmdashand even Jesusrsquo
own disciplesmdashseem unable to fully grasp the messianic
identity and climactic mission of Jesus If his true deity
death resurrection and role in the establishment of Godrsquos
eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and
in his own teachings how could the leading biblical scholars
of their time miss it
This book explores the biblical conception of mystery as
an initial partially hidden revelation that is subsequently
more fully revealed Exploring all the occurrences of the
term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found
in conjunction with them this work sharpens our under-
standing of how the Old Testament relates to the New and
explores topics such as kingdom crucifixion the relation-
ship between Jews and Gentiles and more
G K Beale (PhD University of Cambridge) holds the

Sanctification
Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham
Ben Witherington III (PhD University of Durham) is
Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury

notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus

Jesus claimed for himself Wright traces the life of Christ
as it is illuminated by the Old Testament while describing
Godrsquos design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

David Skeel
True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all
David Skeel ( JD University of Virginia) is the S Samuel
Arsht Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Penn-sylvania Law School He is the author of The New Financial
Deal Icarus in the Boardroom and Debtrsquos Dominion and has

Overturning Tables
Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several
books including The New Friars The Emerging Movement
Serving the Worldrsquos Poor He sends thousands of students each
year on short-term mission experiences around the world

Mark Sheridan
Language for God in Patristic Tradition
Wrestling with Biblical Anthropomorphism
Criticism of myth in the Bible is not a modern problem
Its roots go back to the earliest Christ ian theologians and
before them to ancient Greek and Jewish thinkers The
dilemma posed by texts that ascribe human characteristics
and emotions to the divine is a perennial problem and we
have much to learn from the ancient attempts to address it
Mark Sheridan provides a theological and historical
analysis of the patrist ic interpretation of Scripturersquos
anthropomorphic and anthropopathic language for God
Rather than reject the Bible as mere stories ancient Jewish
and Christian theologians read these texts allegorically or
theologically in order to discover the truth contained within
them They recognized that an edifying and appropriate
interpretation of these stories required that one start from
the understanding that ldquoGod is not a human beingrdquo (Num
2319) Sheridan brings the patristic tradition into conversa-
tion with modern interpreters to show the abiding signifi-
cance of its theological interpretation for today
This work is a landmark resource for students of ancient
Christian theology Wide-ranging in scope and accessible in
its analysis it demonstrates that those engaged in theo-logical interpretation of Scripture have much to gain from
studying their forebears in the faith
Mark Sheridan is a Benedictine monk of Dormition
Abbey in Jerusalem and professor emeritus in the Faculty of
Theology of the Pontificio Ateneo S Anselmo Rome where
he served as dean of the Faculty of Theology (1998ndash2005)
and Rector Magnificus (2005ndash2009) of the Athenaeum

Hidden But Now Revealed
A Biblical Theology of Mystery
When reading through the Bible it is impossible to ignore
the troubling fact that Israel and its leadersmdashand even Jesusrsquo
own disciplesmdashseem unable to fully grasp the messianic
identity and climactic mission of Jesus If his true deity
death resurrection and role in the establishment of Godrsquos
eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and
in his own teachings how could the leading biblical scholars
of their time miss it
This book explores the biblical conception of mystery as
an initial partially hidden revelation that is subsequently
more fully revealed Exploring all the occurrences of the
term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found
in conjunction with them this work sharpens our under-
standing of how the Old Testament relates to the New and
explores topics such as kingdom crucifixion the relation-
ship between Jews and Gentiles and more

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham

notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus

Jesus claimed for himself Wright traces the life of Christ
as it is illuminated by the Old Testament while describing
Godrsquos design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Arsht Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Penn-sylvania Law School He is the author of The New Financial
Deal Icarus in the Boardroom and Debtrsquos Dominion and has

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several
books including The New Friars The Emerging Movement
Serving the Worldrsquos Poor He sends thousands of students each
year on short-term mission experiences around the world

Mark Sheridan
Language for God in Patristic Tradition
Wrestling with Biblical Anthropomorphism
Criticism of myth in the Bible is not a modern problem
Its roots go back to the earliest Christ ian theologians and
before them to ancient Greek and Jewish thinkers The
dilemma posed by texts that ascribe human characteristics
and emotions to the divine is a perennial problem and we
have much to learn from the ancient attempts to address it
Mark Sheridan provides a theological and historical
analysis of the patrist ic interpretation of Scripturersquos
anthropomorphic and anthropopathic language for God
Rather than reject the Bible as mere stories ancient Jewish
and Christian theologians read these texts allegorically or
theologically in order to discover the truth contained within
them They recognized that an edifying and appropriate
interpretation of these stories required that one start from
the understanding that ldquoGod is not a human beingrdquo (Num
2319) Sheridan brings the patristic tradition into conversa-
tion with modern interpreters to show the abiding signifi-
cance of its theological interpretation for today
This work is a landmark resource for students of ancient
Christian theology Wide-ranging in scope and accessible in
its analysis it demonstrates that those engaged in theo-logical interpretation of Scripture have much to gain from
studying their forebears in the faith
Mark Sheridan is a Benedictine monk of Dormition
Abbey in Jerusalem and professor emeritus in the Faculty of
Theology of the Pontificio Ateneo S Anselmo Rome where
he served as dean of the Faculty of Theology (1998ndash2005)
and Rector Magnificus (2005ndash2009) of the Athenaeum

Hidden But Now Revealed
A Biblical Theology of Mystery
When reading through the Bible it is impossible to ignore
the troubling fact that Israel and its leadersmdashand even Jesusrsquo
own disciplesmdashseem unable to fully grasp the messianic
identity and climactic mission of Jesus If his true deity
death resurrection and role in the establishment of Godrsquos
eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and
in his own teachings how could the leading biblical scholars
of their time miss it
This book explores the biblical conception of mystery as
an initial partially hidden revelation that is subsequently
more fully revealed Exploring all the occurrences of the
term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found
in conjunction with them this work sharpens our under-
standing of how the Old Testament relates to the New and
explores topics such as kingdom crucifixion the relation-
ship between Jews and Gentiles and more

Sanctification
Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy
Kelly M Kapic (PhD Kingrsquos College University of
London) is professor of theological studies at Covenant

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham

Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament

notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus
that enlarge and correct a mistaken story Is the real Jesus

Jesus claimed for himself Wright traces the life of Christ
as it is illuminated by the Old Testament while describing
Godrsquos design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several
books including The New Friars The Emerging Movement
Serving the Worldrsquos Poor He sends thousands of students each
year on short-term mission experiences around the world

Mark Sheridan
Language for God in Patristic Tradition
Wrestling with Biblical Anthropomorphism
Criticism of myth in the Bible is not a modern problem
Its roots go back to the earliest Christ ian theologians and
before them to ancient Greek and Jewish thinkers The
dilemma posed by texts that ascribe human characteristics
and emotions to the divine is a perennial problem and we
have much to learn from the ancient attempts to address it
Mark Sheridan provides a theological and historical
analysis of the patrist ic interpretation of Scripturersquos
anthropomorphic and anthropopathic language for God
Rather than reject the Bible as mere stories ancient Jewish
and Christian theologians read these texts allegorically or
theologically in order to discover the truth contained within
them They recognized that an edifying and appropriate
interpretation of these stories required that one start from
the understanding that ldquoGod is not a human beingrdquo (Num
2319) Sheridan brings the patristic tradition into conversa-
tion with modern interpreters to show the abiding signifi-
cance of its theological interpretation for today
This work is a landmark resource for students of ancient
Christian theology Wide-ranging in scope and accessible in
its analysis it demonstrates that those engaged in theo-logical interpretation of Scripture have much to gain from
studying their forebears in the faith
Mark Sheridan is a Benedictine monk of Dormition
Abbey in Jerusalem and professor emeritus in the Faculty of
Theology of the Pontificio Ateneo S Anselmo Rome where
he served as dean of the Faculty of Theology (1998ndash2005)
and Rector Magnificus (2005ndash2009) of the Athenaeum

Hidden But Now Revealed
A Biblical Theology of Mystery
When reading through the Bible it is impossible to ignore
the troubling fact that Israel and its leadersmdashand even Jesusrsquo
own disciplesmdashseem unable to fully grasp the messianic
identity and climactic mission of Jesus If his true deity
death resurrection and role in the establishment of Godrsquos
eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and
in his own teachings how could the leading biblical scholars
of their time miss it
This book explores the biblical conception of mystery as
an initial partially hidden revelation that is subsequently
more fully revealed Exploring all the occurrences of the
term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found
in conjunction with them this work sharpens our under-
standing of how the Old Testament relates to the New and
explores topics such as kingdom crucifixion the relation-
ship between Jews and Gentiles and more

Sanctification
Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham

notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions

Hidden But Now Revealed
A Biblical Theology of Mystery
When reading through the Bible it is impossible to ignore
the troubling fact that Israel and its leadersmdashand even Jesusrsquo
own disciplesmdashseem unable to fully grasp the messianic
identity and climactic mission of Jesus If his true deity
death resurrection and role in the establishment of Godrsquos
eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and
in his own teachings how could the leading biblical scholars
of their time miss it
This book explores the biblical conception of mystery as
an initial partially hidden revelation that is subsequently
more fully revealed Exploring all the occurrences of the
term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found
in conjunction with them this work sharpens our under-
standing of how the Old Testament relates to the New and
explores topics such as kingdom crucifixion the relation-
ship between Jews and Gentiles and more

Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at
McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton Ontario where he
teaches courses on pastoral ministry mission the church

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel
University in St Paul Minnesota where he coordinates the
Christianity and Western Culture program He is also the
coeditor of The Pietist Impulse in Christianity

J B Lightfoot
Edited by Ben Witherington III and Todd D Still
The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham
Ben Witherington III (PhD University of Durham) is
Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury
Theological Seminary
Todd D Still (PhD University of Glasgow) is William M
Hinson Professor of Christian Scriptures in the George W

Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament

Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken
notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus
that enlarge and correct a mistaken story Is the real Jesus

Jesus claimed for himself Wright traces the life of Christ
as it is illuminated by the Old Testament while describing
Godrsquos design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several
books including The New Friars The Emerging Movement
Serving the Worldrsquos Poor He sends thousands of students each

Hidden But Now Revealed
A Biblical Theology of Mystery
When reading through the Bible it is impossible to ignore
the troubling fact that Israel and its leadersmdashand even Jesusrsquo
own disciplesmdashseem unable to fully grasp the messianic
identity and climactic mission of Jesus If his true deity
death resurrection and role in the establishment of Godrsquos
eternal kingdom were predicted in the Old Testament and
in his own teachings how could the leading biblical scholars
of their time miss it
This book explores the biblical conception of mystery as
an initial partially hidden revelation that is subsequently
more fully revealed Exploring all the occurrences of the
term mystery in the New Testament and the topics found
in conjunction with them this work sharpens our under-
standing of how the Old Testament relates to the New and
explores topics such as kingdom crucifixion the relation-
ship between Jews and Gentiles and more
G K Beale (PhD University of Cambridge) holds the
J Gresham Machen Chair of New Testament at Westminster
Theological Seminary His books include The Book of Revela-
tion (New International Greek Testament Commentary) 1-2
Thessalonians (The IVP New Testament Commentary Series)

Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at
McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton Ontario where he
teaches courses on pastoral ministry mission the church

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education

of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions

ated within a Pentecostal Asian American context that bears
on the future of the whole church

Sanctification
Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy
Kelly M Kapic (PhD Kingrsquos College University of
London) is professor of theological studies at Covenant

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham

Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament

Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken
notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus
that enlarge and correct a mistaken story Is the real Jesus
entangled in a web of the churchrsquos Scripture awaiting libera-

Jesus claimed for himself Wright traces the life of Christ
as it is illuminated by the Old Testament while describing
Godrsquos design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Arsht Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Penn-sylvania Law School He is the author of The New Financial
Deal Icarus in the Boardroom and Debtrsquos Dominion and has

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several
books including The New Friars The Emerging Movement
Serving the Worldrsquos Poor He sends thousands of students each
year on short-term mission experiences around the world

Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton

completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education

of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense

Sanctification
Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham
Ben Witherington III (PhD University of Durham) is
Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Arsht Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Penn-sylvania Law School He is the author of The New Financial
Deal Icarus in the Boardroom and Debtrsquos Dominion and has

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several
books including The New Friars The Emerging Movement
Serving the Worldrsquos Poor He sends thousands of students each
year on short-term mission experiences around the world

Sanctification
Explorations in Theology and Practice
ldquoThis book draws wisely from the tradition engages
patiently with the scriptural testimony and tries to
think clearly and compell ingly for the church todayrdquo
Michael Allen Knox Theological Seminary
With so much recent interest in concepts of election and
justification the question of holiness can often seem to
be of secondary importance The essays in this volume
which come out of the 2011 Edinburgh Dogmatics Confer-
ence address this dilemma through biblical historical andpastoral explorations of sanctification The contributors sink
their teeth into positions like the ldquoworksrdquo mentality or ldquo justi-
fication by faith alonerdquo and posit stronger biblical views of
grace and holiness considering key topics such as the image
of God perfection union with Christ Christian ethics and
suffering This is a resource for both church and academy

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education

of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham

biblical text in English alongside the insights of the leaders
of the Reformation with commentary from Lutheran
Reformed Anglican Anabaptist and even reform-minded

Christopher J H Wright
Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament
(Second Edition)
Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken
notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus
that enlarge and correct a mistaken story Is the real Jesus
entangled in a web of the churchrsquos Scripture awaiting libera-
tion To answer these questions we need to know what story
Jesus claimed for himself Wright traces the life of Christ
as it is illuminated by the Old Testament while describing
Godrsquos design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus

Cambridge) taught Old Testament in India (1983ndash1988) at

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense

Kevin Diller
Theologyrsquos Epistemological Dilemma
How Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga Provide a
Unified Response
The problem of faith and reason is as old as Christianity
itself Todayrsquos philosophical scientific and historical
challenges make the epistemic problem inescapable for
believers Can faith justify its claims Does faith give us
confidence in the truth Is believing with certainty a virtue
or a vice
Kevin Diller addresses this problem by drawing on two of
the most significant responses in recent Christian thought
Karl Barthrsquos theology of revelation and Alv in Plantingarsquos
epistemology of Christian belief This will str ike many as
unlikely given the common stereotypes of both thinkers
Contrary to widespread misunderstanding Diller offers
a reading of both as complementary to each other Barth
provides what Plantinga lacks in theological depth while
Plantinga provides what Barth lacks in philosophical clarity
Diller presents a unified BarthPlantinga proposal for theo-
logical epistemology capable of responding without anxiety
to the questions that face believers today
Kevin Diller (PhD University of St Andrews) is associateprofessor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University in
Upland Indiana He holds graduate degrees from Princeton
Theological Seminary and Calvin Theological Seminary and
completed postdoctoral work at the University of Notre Dame

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham

Jesus claimed for himself Wright traces the life of Christ
as it is illuminated by the Old Testament while describing
Godrsquos design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense

The Church in Exile
Living in Hope After Christendom
The people of God throughout history have been a people
of exile and diaspora Whether under the Assyrians
Babylonians Greeks or Romans the people chosen by God
have had to learn how to be a holy people in alien lands and
under foreign rule
For much of its history however the Christian church
lived with the sense of being at home in the world with
considerable influence and power That age of Christendom
is now over and as Lee Beach demonstrates this is some-
thing for which the church should be grateful The ldquopeacerdquo
of Christendom was a false one and there is no comfortable
normalcy to which we can or should return
Drawing on a close engagement with Old Testament and
New Testament texts The Church in Exile offers a biblical and
practical theology for the church in a post-Christian age
Beach helps the people of God today to develop a hopeful
and prophetic imagination a theology responsive to its
context and an exil ic identity marked by faithfulness to
Godrsquos mission in the world
Lee Beach (PhD McMaster Divinity College) is assistant
professor of Christian ministry director of ministry forma-
tion and Garbutt F Smith Chair of Ministry Formation at

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel
University in St Paul Minnesota where he coordinates the
Christianity and Western Culture program He is also the
coeditor of The Pietist Impulse in Christianity

hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham
Ben Witherington III (PhD University of Durham) is

Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament

notion of Jesus Should we listen to other gospels of Jesus

Jesus claimed for himself Wright traces the life of Christ
as it is illuminated by the Old Testament while describing
Godrsquos design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense

The conference begins with the
conviction that the Christian
doctrine of the image of God offers truth
and health in a culture inundated with
distorted images The conference will
explore our understanding of the imago
as informed by Scripture tradition and
doctrine How in our time and place
might our understanding of what it means
to be created in the divine image be
challenged or distorted In dealing with
this situation what are the corrective
and constructive resources available
in the Christian faith How can the
Christian doctrine of the imago inform
and strengthen our witness in this image

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel
University in St Paul Minnesota where he coordinates the
Christianity and Western Culture program He is also the
coeditor of The Pietist Impulse in Christianity

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes

Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

The Pietist Vision of Christian
Higher Education
Forming Whole and Holy Persons
Pietism has long been sidelined in evangelical scholarship
This is especially the case in the field of Christian higher
education which is dominated by thinkers in the Reformed
tradition and complicated by the association of Pietism
with anti-intellectualism even though from the begin-
ning Pietism ldquowas intimately bound up with educationrdquo
according to Diarmaid MacCulloch In this groundbreaking
volume scholars associated with the Pietist tradition break
the silence and reflect on the distinctively Pietist approachto education
Christopher Gehrz (PhD Yale University) is professor
of history and chair of the history department at Bethel
University in St Paul Minnesota where he coordinates the
Christianity and Western Culture program He is also the
coeditor of The Pietist Impulse in Christianity

The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor

Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not

J B Lightfoot
Edited by Ben Witherington III and Todd D Still
The Acts of the Apostles
A Newly Discovered Commentary
ldquoThe discovery of hitherto unknown exegetical
works by J B Lightfoot is a rare gift full of potential
for fresh insight both about the man himself and
as he would have wished about texts which he knew
so well and which themselves express the heart of
the gospelrdquo
N T Wright former bishop of Durham
In the spring of 2013 Ben Witherington III discovered
hundreds of pages of biblical commentary by acclaimed
scholar J B Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library
Among the many pages of this historical and theological
gold mine were two sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the
Apostles Together they amount to a richly detailed albeit
unfinished commentary on Acts 1ndash21 Previously unpub-
lished these commentary notes reveal a relevant and signifi-
cant resource for the church today from a scholar well ahead
of his time one of the great minds of his or any generation
J B Lightfoot (1828ndash1889) was an English theologian
canon of St Paulrsquos Cathedral and bishop of Durham
Ben Witherington III (PhD University of Durham) is
Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury
Theological Seminary

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several

To Everyone an Answer
A Case for the Christian Worldview
In a society fascinated by spirituality but committed to
religious pluralism the Christian worldview faces sophis-
ticated and aggressive opposition A prior commitment to
diversity with its requisite openness and relativistic outlook
has meant for skeptics critics and even many Christians
that whatever Christianity is it cannot be exclusively true or
salvific
What is needed in this syncretistic era is an authoritative
comprehensive Christian response Point by point argu-
ment by argument the Christian faith must be effectively
presented and defended To Everyone an Answer A Case for the
Christian Worldview offers such a response

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor
David Skeel makes a fresh case for the explanatory power of
Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Arsht Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Penn-sylvania Law School He is the author of The New Financial

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several
books including The New Friars The Emerging Movement
Serving the Worldrsquos Poor He sends thousands of students each
year on short-term mission experiences around the world

the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we

stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense

Cambridge) taught Old Testament in India (1983ndash1988) at
Union Biblical Seminary and then at All Nations Christian
College a missionary training school in England where he

True Paradox
How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes
seen as an embarrassment for Christianity But law professor

Christianity for puzzles such as our capacity for idea making
our experience of beauty and suf fering and our inability to
create a just social order We need not deny the complexi-
ties of life but the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to
believe that the existence of God could make sense of it all

Arsht Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Penn-sylvania Law School He is the author of The New Financial
Deal Icarus in the Boardroom and Debtrsquos Dominion and has

Freeing Missions from the Christian-Industrial Complex
Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not
according to the witness of the Scriptures but according to
the values of the free market The mission of the church
is being held back by the business container into which we
have placed the gospel Here Bessenecker shows through
stories and analysis that the mission of God reaches well
beyond the grasp of the free market and if we are willing
to reach as well we will see God do amazing things as the
world sees the gospel in its fullest sense
Scott A Bessenecker is associate director for missions
for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of several
books including The New Friars The Emerging Movement
Serving the Worldrsquos Poor He sends thousands of students each
year on short-term mission experiences around the world
