A Word for the Day: Key Words from the New Testament

DESCRIPTION

Unearth the wealth of treasures “buried” in the original language of Scripture! Watson’s devotional helps those who don’t know Greek achieve greater understanding of the New Testament. Each entry focuses on one word through a brief study, an application for daily living, related verses for further exploration, and suggested prayer topics. 384 pages, softcover from AMG.

Publisher’s Description

Learn a Biblical Greek WORD Everyday.

The purpose of a Word of the Day is to share the richness of the Greek language used in the New Testament and help make these words practical in the reader’s Christian living. Because words do matter, the words of the New Testament matter most.  And in a day when words don’t  seem to mean much, the need for precision in Christian doctrine and practice has never been more critical.

For each day of the year, Watson presents a brief word study and then offers an application to make that particular Greek word become real for practical living. To aid reinforcement, related verses are listed for the reader’s personal study.

Doc Watson fulfills his desire of many years to provide daily devotionals that not only contain deep spiritual truth, but also are easy to read and understand. In this day of relativism, the absolutes of God’s Word (and words) are desperately needed. These brief devotionals will enrich the mind, stir the soul, and empower the life of God’s people.

NIV Application Commentary: 2 Peter & Jude

DESCRIPTION

In Leviticus, Numbers [NIVAC], Roy Gane explains how Leviticus and Numbers tell of an epic journey to freedom, while illuminating an ancient conception of God and challenging modern distortions of God.

NIV Application Commentary: 1 Peter

DESCRIPTION

Scot McKnight has emerged as one of the most popular and influential NT scholars of the last decade. His popular blog (Jesus Creed) attracts thousands of daily readers, and his books are perennial bestsellers that prove to be informative, edifying, and challenging.

1 Peter [NIVAC] is no exception to this rule. McKnight does an excellent job of illuminating the rich and troubled circumstances of the original reader’s while also skillfully Peter’s extensive moral exhortations in light of the original recipients’ context. McKnight, who also accepts the so-called “new perspective” on Paul, no doubt reads 1 Peter through similar lenses and equally draws the implications for this non-pauline book. A Master of Application, readers are in store for a rich reward of wisdom and practical extrapolations from the text.

NIV Application Commentary: Revelation

DESCRIPTION

The Book of Revelation has been the subject of endless speculation, study, and debate both responsible and irresponsible. Indeed, discussion about the book is so overwhelming one often feels like simply leaving it be. Yet, as we all recognize, this difficult and troubling book is part of God’s word for our lives. But who to trust?

Revelation [NIVAC] written by a top evangelical NT scholar and a researcher who is second to none, Craig S. Keener, is one of the most trustworthy commentators active today. With an affinity for exhaustive work, Keener, in this instance masterfully distills a wealth of research into a compact volume that should meet the needs of all those interested in Revelation. Clearly written, with minimal technical jargon, and thoughtful analysis and application of the book, Keener’s work is a monumental achievement.

NIV Application Commentary: Exodus

DESCRIPTION

Exodus [NIVAC] written by Pete Enns, a highly original and sometimes provocative thinker draws on the immense uncertainty faced by the Israelites as the left their captive Egypt and translates their context into a rich wealth for dealing with uncertainties in our world.

NIV Application Commentary: Deuteronomy

DESCRIPTION

Arranged as a series of sermons given by Moses, the book of Deuteronomy repre- sents the final major segment of the biography of Moses. These sermons review past events described in Genesis through Numbers and challenge Israel to faithful living as they look forward to life in the Promised Land.

The theological significance of Deuteronomy cannot be overestimated. Few books in the Bible proclaim such a relevant word of grace and gospel to the church today. At its heart, Deuteronomy celebrates the covenantal relationship between God and his people. God has graciously chosen Israel as his covenant partneland has faithfully demonstrated his covenantal commitment to them. Moses challenges the Israelites to respond by declaring that Yahweh alone is their God and by demonstrating unwaver- ing loyalty and total love for him through obedience.

Daniel Block highlights the unity between the God depicted in Deuteronomy and Jesus Christ; Jesus is Yahweh incarnate. Christians who understand the covenantal character of God and who live under the grace of Christ will happily receive the revelation of the will of God through Moses and resist the temptation to retreat into interior and subjective understandings of the life of faith so common in Western Christianity.

NIV Application Commentary: Genesis

DESCRIPTION

Genesis, the newest in the NIV Application Commentary series, traces God’s mastery in creation, covenant, and history. The initial chapters of Genesis show his mastery in bringing order out of chaos. The development of the covenant brought order to his relationship with his people-through revelation and the overcoming of obstacles. Finally,God brought order to the world through his people – by battling the chaos of famine and providing food. In the beginning, as today, God loves the people he created and it is his intention to bless them in spite of rebellion and sin. Noted scholar John Walton follows the three-tiered NIV Application format (Original Meaning, Bridging Contexts, andContemporary Significance) to reveal how this first book of the Bible applies to us today.

NIV Application Commentary: 2 Corinthians

DESCRIPTION

The second letter Paul addressed to the eminently troubled church in Corinth is the most ministerially difficult and personally complex of all Paul’s letters. It brims with passionate self-defense, intense concern for the eternal destiny of the Corinthians, and even anger.

In 2 Corinthians [NIVAC] Scott J. Hafeman reconciles three key themes to one another that are critical to rightly understanding Paul’s second Corinthian letter: weakness, sufficiency, and the Holy Spirit. The weakness is Paul’s personally ability to succeed, the sufficiency is the fact that Paul does succeed, in spite of his weakness and the Holy Spirit is the power that enables this sufficiency in spite of weakness to occur. And in as much as these realities are true for Paul in his own life, he desperately wishes the Corinthians to accept them as well.

NIV Application Commentary: 1 Corinthians

DESCRIPTION

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don’t discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable, but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.

In 1 Corinthians, Craig Blomberg approaches the text with strong, faithful scholarship as he presents its relevant application to today’s readers.

NIV Application Commentary: John

DESCRIPTION

From the Back Cover

The Gospel of John tells us the story that is the foundation of the distinctive teaching of Christianity. It provides all the elements necessary to see the full picture of the person and work of Jesus; a human Christ to redeem us, a divine Christ to reveal God’s nature, and a powerful, Spirit-filled Christ to help us lead holy lives. John shows these aspects in a mysterious, literate way that beguiles and reveals as it pulls us deeper and deeper into the mystery of who God is.
This commentary unveils, in today’s terminology, the deeply satisfying portrait of Christ painted in the Gospel of John.

NIV Application Commentary: Luke

DESCRIPTION

From the Back Cover

Today’s world is more fragmented than ever. Diversity often becomes the rallying cry for what is in truth separatism and alienation. The multiplied voices of disunity clamor with increasing volume–yet they are nothing new. It was on a fractured planet that Jesus Christ lived and ministered, and it is on this same planet two thousand years later that he continues to unite and heal the fault-lines of shattered humanity.
This is the message of Luke’s gospel. It is a gospel that crosses the borders between Jews and Gentiles, bringing together the unlikely and the disenfranchised under the brotherhood and lordship of one King, Christ. With carefully researched detail, Luke the historian presents and account of Jesus that is filled with meaning and promise for the entire world. It proclaims wholeness and restoration of humanity’s broken heart through inclusion into God’s kingdom.
Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Darrel L. Bock shares perspectives on the gospel of Luke that reveal its enduring relevance for our twenty-first-century lives.
