Book Description
Apocalyptic texts are often seen as either frightening or irrelevant, a tool for fearmongering and manipulation or for the lucrative doomsday industry. But Apocalypse When?: Interpreting and Preaching Apocalyptic Texts equips readers to understand these texts as sources of encouragement and strength for the church. As the world faces threats of war, poverty, climate and environmental crises, and political upheaval, churches can draw on the wisdom and courage of our biblical ancestors who faced their own calamities and persecutions. Their struggles against powerful economic, militaristic, cultural, and social forces drew them closer to God. We have much to learn from their faith, ethical integrity, and dedication to the promises of God that engender hope in the midst of turmoil and terror. With solid historical exegesis, thought-provoking ideas for preaching, and examples of sermons that creatively and compellingly proclaim God’s word, this book provides much-needed guidance for the church in tumultuous times.

Book Description
This third and final volume of Archbishop Averky's New Testament commentary elucidates the moral and pastoral aspects of the Pauline and Universal Epistles and the Book of Revelation. Discussion of each New Testament book is preceded by an analysis of the authorship, time and place of composition, and major themes within. The final commentary on the Apocalypse, in which Archbishop Averky relies heavily on the ancient commentary of St Andrew of Ceasaria, is provided in the popular translation by Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose), together with the Scriptural text itself. The author's approach is thoroughly patristic, constantly turning to the Church Fathers for the elucidation of one or another particular verse, especially to the commentaries and expositions of St John Chrysostom, Blessed Theophylact of Ochrid, Blessed Theodoret of Cyrus, and most particularly to the voluminous Scriptural commentaries of St Theophan the Recluse. The commentary has been copiously annotated with citations to primary sources, which did not appear in the original text. Archbishop Averky's commentaries on the New Testament have become standard textbooks in Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary and have been published in Russia to widespread acclaim. They are an indispensable addition to the library of every student of the New Testament.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Sermons, Epistles and Apocalypses of Israel's Prophets: From the Beginning of the Assyrian Period to the End of the Maccabean Struggle The prophets stand at the head of the different groups of teachers whose work and teachings are recorded in the Old Testament. Through their open minds and deep personal experiences came the eternal truths that are the foundations of Israel's faith. A clear understanding of their aims and methods and messages is the key that unlocks the mysteries of the older Scriptures. They also were the forerunners who prepared the way for the advent and work of the great prophet-teacher of Nazareth. Their spirit and principles are still a perennial source of inspiration and helpfulness to a growing group of men and women who are to-day grappling with the great political, civic, and social problems whose right solution is essential to the strength and efficiency of our modern civilization. For twenty or twenty five centuries, therefore, the prophets have been a potent force in the life and thought of mankind; and their influence is to - day waxing rather than waning. To understand these sturdy heroes of the faith it is essential to study them in their chronological order and in the light of the historical conditions amidst which each labored. The present volume aims to make this study possible and practicable. The voluminous additions of later editors and scribes have been relegated to a secondary place in order that the original teachings of each prophet may stand forth in clear relief. An effort has also been made to indicate, by the form in which they are printed, the highly poetic content and structure of the individual prophecies.
