Book Description
This book compares New Testament and Rabbinical texts in order to recover the oral tradition accompanying the written Biblical text. Although New Testament Greek is a hellenistic idiom, it reflects a Semitic rather than a hellenistic culture. Therefore, Culbertson looks to Jewish sources in order to understand the Greek text, rather than to the philosophical, methodological, and literary sources of hellenistic culture. The author uses specific examples to illustrate various literary theories and to prove the value of a Listener Response Analysis of Gospel texts. A dozen parables are discussed in detail.

Book Description
This second book continues in the same vein as the first book, Words Fitly Spoken. This work is also intended to be inspiring, uplifting and offer encouragement for Christians as they seek to perfect their walk with God. These inspired poems speak of God's mighty power, his faithfulness and his care and concern for us. Again, how appropriate are the words of the wise man Solomon, who informs us that a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. (Proverbs 25:11). Because these poems are rooted in scripture they are sure to convey the unchangeable and enduring truth of God.

Book Description
A Word Fitly Spoken explores significant poetic devices within the four alphabetic acrostic psalms found in Book I of the Psalter. The majority of scholarly opinion has been that these acrostics are poetically and artistically deficient due to the writers' and editors' preoccupation with the alphabetic pattern. In contrast to this view, A Word Fitly Spoken proposes that the acrostic pattern contributes to, rather than detracts from, the poetic artistry of these psalms. In an effort to promote a holistic, canonical reading of the four acrostic poems within Book I of the Psalter, this study also examines the linguistic and grammatical connections within the text. Such a close reading repeatedly demonstrates the emotive power and the imagination of this literature in contradiction to its supposedly stiff, wooden nature. A Word Fitly Spoken is attuned to the frequent plays on word and sound that occur throughout these four poems and as such would be useful in graduate courses on biblical interpretation, Hebrew poetry, or the Psalms.

Book Description
Words Fitly Spoken are "like apples of gold in settings of silver," according to Proverbs 25:11. The poetic words of Bruce Goodpaster display those burnished apples in a variety of silver settings. Some reflect dreams or visions, some come from the refinement of trials and sickness, others from meditation on God's faithful promises. All draw the reader away from daily struggles with worry and uncertainty and toward the encouragement found in God's promise that He is returning soon to rule and reign. Bruce grew up in a Christian home in the Midwest and accepted Jesus as his personal savior as a child. While in the Navy he met the Navigators who greatly influenced his spiritual growth by emphasizing Bible study and Scripture memory.

Book Description
Writing has provided me a direct connection to God. When a friend saw my poetry book, she started reading and couldn't put it down. She encouraged me to do something with it; I was seventeen then. Now that I have several more poetry books, I prayed and feel that this is what the Lord wants me to do. It's one of my greatest passions, next to ministry and cooking. I pray this book ministers to you and helps you heal, restore, encourage, and motivate, and I hope it captures your attention. Let the words sink in and revive you, so that after you're done reading this book, it will feel like you have just taken a breath of fresh air. There is something in here for everyone. If you enjoy reading A Word Fitly Spoken, there is more to come. One thing I have noticed about poetry is writers create it when they're in deep depression and those poems end up making you feel the same way you felt when you started reading them. So I have decided I would never end a poem or song on a down-beat, but always on a high note. Being the praise and worship leader, I find that sometimes in order to get to the next level, we have to encourage ourselves in the Lord. As you read my book, please don't just browse it--think and ponder on it and remember it. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength. There's something in here for every mood I'm in, and if you can apply it to your life, it will help you just the way it helped me. I hope and pray you enjoy it and will be looking for my other books. Thank you for supporting me and my dreams
