Book Description
"Is the Bible the unembellished Word of God or the product of human agency? There are different answers to that question. And they lie at the heart of this book's powerful exploration of the fraught ways in which money, race and power shape the story of Christianity in American public life. The authors' subject is the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC: arguably the latest example of a long line of white evangelical institutions aiming to amplify and promote a religious, political, and moral agenda of their own. In their careful and compelling investigation, Jill Hicks-Keeton and Cavan Concannon disclose the ways in which the Museum's exhibits reinforce a particularized and partial interpretation of the Bible's meaning. Bringing to light the Museum's implicit messaging about scriptural provenance and audience, the authors reveal how the MOTB produces a version of the Bible that in essence authorizes a certain sort of white evangelical privilege; promotes a view of history aligned with that same evangelical aspiration; and above all protects a cohort of white evangelicals from critique. They show too how the Museum collapses vital conceptual distinctions between its own conservative vision of the Bible and 'The Bible' as a cultural icon. This revelatory volume above all confirms that scripture - for all the claims made for it that it speaks only divine truth - can in the end never be separated from human politics"--

Book Description
While many Christians wonder whether we really need the Old Testament, John Goldingay turns the question around: Perhaps Jesus' Bible—the Old Testament—is enough. Goldingay probes our misreading of the Old Testament and brings out the richness of the "First Testament's" message as Israel's and the church's gospel.

Book Description
God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Book Description
This book is a well-reasoned and easy-to-follow expository look at Scripture that allows you to see what the Bible truly has to say on the doctrines of the Rapture, the 7-year Great Tribulation, the Millennial Kingdom, and more. "It is my desire . . . to help my fellow Christians to look at Scripture plainly and clearly, allowing it to say what it says without any interference by us. I have attempted to lay out each chapter as if it were a Bible study on its own. The aim of this book is to help clear away the fogs of confusion that are out there so that believers can return to a simple faith and acceptance of the teachings of the Word of God."This book attempts to lead the believer by the hand so that they may see with their own eyes what Scripture truly has to teach us. In a world blinded by many man-governed theories, teachings, and theologies, believers often fail to pay attention to the finer details contained in the words of Scripture in favour of the things they have been taught or raised to believe. With this book, Timothy Klaver attempts to lead believers to a point where they hold the words of Scripture above and beyond any teachings they may have received or been raised with. He attempts to bring believers to a point where they conform their beliefs to the truths revealed in Scripture, rather than trying to force Scripture to conform to their individual beliefs.Timothy constantly reminds his readers not to blindly accept what someone, including himself, has to say about Bible passages, but for them to be like the noble Bereans who searched the Scriptures to make sure what even the Apostle Paul taught them was true and accurate. Timothy constantly reminds his readers to pay attention to the context surrounding a particular verse as it often changes the meaning from what those who rip it from its context want you to believe about it.
