New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis

DESCRIPTION

Only one hermeneutical text published prior to the New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology & Exegesis can be held up reasonably to its measure of quality and the exhaustive nature of the research that produced this immense work. That singular collection worthy of comparison is its counterpart, the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, edited by Colin Brown.

This 5 volume addition to that acclaimed work, though intimidating in the achievement it embodies, is intended for serious Old Testament and exegetical study by men and women of all walks of life — both academics and pastors, students and laypersons. Volume one contains a Guide to Old Testament Theology and Exegesis in which ten essays have been compiled to thoroughly explain proper hermeneutics and interpretation, as well as guidelines for using this source material.

Volumes one through four contain the Lexicon of the Old Testament, all words found in the text ordered by Hebrew alphabetization for easy reference, and coupled with a Goodrick / Kohlenberger cross-referencing number to be used in conjunction with Strong’s numbering system. The relationship of each word in different contexts and languages is also explained, including alternative words, and the particulars of their semantic domain. All this information is, of course, complete with bibliography. Volume four also begins the Topical Dictionary. Therein can be found articles on the theology of each Old Testament book individually, as well as discussion of biblical concepts, people, places, events, and literary pieces, all information that is cross-referenced to the preceding Hebraic Lexicon.

Finally, volume five contains a series of indexes: Hebrew Index, Scripture Index, Subject Index, and an index of Semantic Fields. Taken as a whole, the New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology & Exegesis is an unparalleled accomplishment in the field of biblical hermeneutics.

New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis Set

DESCRIPTION

A standard and widely-used reference work for nearly 40 years, the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis has been thoroughly revised and updated to aid today’s pastors, students, scholars, and teachers in their study of the New Testament.

 Offering a wealth of background and information on the meaning of Greek words in the New Testament—as well as related usage in classical Greek sources, the Septuagint, Jewish literature, and more—this important tool offers the following features: 

• Alphabetical arrangement according to Greek words instead of previous order according to English topics; this ensures that individual Greek words are not discussed in isolation from one another and are easy to access

• Expanded to include additional Greek words and concepts not covered in the original work, NIDNTTE includes nearly 800 entries covering over 3,000 Greek words

• Discussions have been revised to be in line with modern scholarship and bibliographies are updated

• Corrections have been made to inconsistencies and omissions in earlier versions

• Updated and added consistency to include—for every entry—all necessary background information from classical Greek, the LXX, and Jewish literature.

• A helpful semantic domain index now directs the reader to all of the Greek words that have something to do with a particular English word. For example, under the English word “Anger, Wrath,” there is a list of thirteen Greek words that are related to that topic.

• Significant changes have been made in the presentation and discussion of linguistic details

• and much more!

A Hebrew Word for the Day, Key Words from the Old Testament

DESCRIPTION

Unearth the wealth of treasures “buried” in the original language of Scripture! Watson’s 365-day devotional helps those who don’t know Hebrew achieve greater understanding of the Old Testament.

The original volume is 384 pages, softcover from AMG, however this is a digital resource for theWord Bible Software.

Publisher’s Description

    The purpose of A Hebrew Word for the Day is to share the richness of the Hebrew language words used in the Old Testament and help make them practical in the reader’s Christian living.  Simply because words matter, the words of the Bible 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 Hebrew word become real for practical living.  To aid reinforcement, each day’s devotion ends with Scriptures for study to apply the truth learned that day.

Doc Watson fulfills his desire of many years to provide daily devotions that not only contain deep spiritual  truth, but also are easy to read and understand.  In our 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.

Die Bybel 2020-vertaling

DESCRIPTION

DIE BYBEL 2020-VERTALING: HOOFLETTERUITGAWE
Hierdie bronteksgeoriënteerde direkte vertaling streef daarna om só te vertaal asof die Bybelskrywers in hulle eie woorde van duisende jare gelede self aan die woord gestel word in vloeiende, idiomatiese Afrikaans. Geskik vir voorlesing en gebruik in eredienste, asook vir kategese, Bybelstudie en persoonlike gebruik.
Omdat die Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika (BSA) die toepassing van die Ou Testamentiese tekste in die Nuwe Testament op Jesus as die Christus aanvaar, is daar besluit om in sodanige tekste met behulp van voetnote in die Ou en Nuwe Testament oor en weer deur middel van kruisverwysings hierna te verwys.
Na aanleiding van gesprekke tussen die BSA en ’n aantal kerke asook ’n besluit van die Kerklike Advieskomitee: Die Bybel in Afrikaans, het die BSA die betrokke kerke genooi om verteenwoordigers te benoem vir ’n werkkomitee om hom hieroor te adviseer. Die komitee se advies was dat hoofletters in Ou Testamentiese tekste wat in die 1933/1953-vertaling met hoofletters geskryf is, so behou word, asook Ou Testamentiese tekste wat deur skrywers in die Nuwe Testament op Jesus as die Christus van toepassing gemaak word. Die BSA het hierdie advies aanvaar, en die vertaling kom verder in alle opsigte ooreen met die ander uitgawes.
Die Werkkomitee het bestaan uit verteenwoordigers van die Afrikaanse Baptiste Kerk, die Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk, die Apostoliese Geloofsending van Suid-Afrika, die Pinkster Protestantse Kerk, die Volle Evangelie Kerk van God in Suidelike Afrika, met as waarnemers die Vrye Gereformeerde Kerke in Suid-Afrika.

NIV Application Commentary: Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk & Zephaniah

DESCRIPTION

The prophets Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah all spoke to a nation that had to deal with violent enemies. While Jonah took his message to the city of Nineveh, the others faced the crisis of a new power: Babylon. Eventually, the Babylonian Empire destroyed Nineveh as prophesied by Nahum, and later destroyed Jerusalem as prophesied by Habakkuk and Zephaniah. Although these four prophets come from the distant past, they still call God’s people to consider what it means to be faithful when violent enemies press upon them. They offer God’s hope and resources in the midst of personal and societal crises.

In Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah [NIVAC] James Bruckner draws these lessons out of the ancient context and then masterfully applies them to our own modern context wherein it seems that crisis is the state of normality. Rejecting the belief that God does not teach us through difficult times, Bruckner shows how God works in our lives at precisely the moment we think all is lost.

NIV Application Commentary: Joel, Obadiah & Malachi

DESCRIPTION

These three short prophetic books of the Old Testament each contain a dual message. On one hand are messages of impending judgmentfor all peoples on the Day of the Lord, for an enemy of Israel, and for Israel herself. On the other hand are messages of great hopeof the pouring out of God’s Placing judgment and hope together in such a manner may seem paradoxical to a contemporary mindset. But the complete message of these prophets gives a fuller picture of Godwho despises and rightly judges sin and rebellion, but who also lovingly invites people to return to him so that he might bestow his wonderful grace and blessings. It is a message no less timely today than when these books were first written, and David W. Baker skillfully bridges the centuries in helping believers today understand and apply it.

NIV Application Commentary: Hosea, Amos & Micah

DESCRIPTION

What would Hosea, Amos, Micah say if they came to today’s church or saw what was happening in modern culture? Hosea would find prostitution, Amos would find the poor being oppressed and Micah would still find corruption in high places.

In Hosea/Amos/Micah [NIVAC], Gary Smith examines original meanings and historical contexts to reveal the contemporary significance of these three powerful and unbending prophetic books and show that society still falls short of god’s standards and requires both his judgment and his love.

NIV Application Commentary: 1 & 2 Chronicles

DESCRIPTION

The Chronicles are more than a history of ancient Israel under the ascent and rule of the Davidic dynasty. They are a story whose grand theme is hope. Great battles are fought, heroes and tyrants vie for power, Israel splits into rival kingdoms, and the soul of God’s holy nation oscillates between faithlessness and revival. Yet above this tossing sea of human events, God’s covenant promises reign untroubled and supreme.

In 1&2 Chronicles [NIVAC] demonstrates how the revelation of Yahweh moves the purposes of teh divine plan forward in the midst of fallible people. Andrew Hill shows that God has a plan to which he is committed, in the ancient world and therefore also today. God redirects our vision from our circumstances in this turbulent world to the surety of his kingdom and to himself as our source of confidence and peace.

NIV Application Commentary: 1 & 2 Samuel

DESCRIPTION

Why do the books of Samuel pack such broad appeal? Taken together as a single narrative, they certainly offer something for everyone: kings and prophets, great battles and greater heroes, action and romance, loyalty and betrayal, the mundane and the miraculous. In Samuel, we meet Saul, David, Goliath, Jonathan, Bathsheba, the witch of Endor, and other unforgettable characters. And we encounter ourselves. For while the culture and conditions of Israel under its first kings is vastly different from our own, the basic issues of humans in relation to God, the Great King, have not changed. Sin, repentance, forgiveness, adversity, prayer, faith, and the promises of God—these continue to play out in our lives today.

Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Bill T. Arnold shares perspectives on 1 and 2 Samuel that reveal ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives.

NIV Application Commentary: 1 & 2 Kings

DESCRIPTION

Readers of 1 and 2 Kings commonly approach these books as a straightforward chronology of post-Davidic Israel: the inauguration of Solomon’s reign, the division of the kingdom following his death, and Israel’s and Judah’s ensuing kings, conflicts, captivities, and overarching spiritual decline. In reality, however, the books of the Kings fall into the collection known as the Former Prophets, and their true story and underlying theme center on such striking personalities as Nathan, Elijah, Elisha, and other divinely appointed spokesmen. It is God’s interaction with his people by way of his prophets and their kings his pleadings, his warnings, and the fulfillment of his words that comes across again and again with forcefulness and clarity. God speaks; now will his people hear, believe, and respond?

In 1&2 Kings August Konkel shows us that these questions and issues remain pertinent for us today. Bridging the centuries Konkel connects past context to contemporary circumstances, helping us grasp the meaning and significance of 1 and 2 Kings and understand how its myriad lessons and circumstances can inform our knowledge of God and decisions to act in today’s world.

NIV Application Commentary: Psalm Vol2

DESCRIPTION

Perhaps more clearly than any other part of the biblical canon, the book of Psalms includes human words directed to God. Yet, through the Holy Spirit, these honest, sometimes brutal words return to us as the Word of God. Their agonies and exaltations reflect more than the human condition in which they were created. Within the context of the canonical Psalter, they become the source of divine guidance, challenge, confrontation, and comfort. It is possible, however, to misapply them. How can we use the book of Psalms in a way that faithfully connects God’s meaning in them and his intentions for them with our circumstances today?

In continuity with Gerald Wilson’s work in Psalms, Volume 1, Dennis Tucker and Jamie Grant reveal the links between the Bible and our present times. While they consider each psalm independently, they go much further, examining whole groups of psalms and, ultimately, the entire Psalter, seeking its purpose and use for the days of Hebrew temple worship through church history. In so doing, the authors open our eyes to ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives.

NIV Application Commentary: Psalm Vol1

DESCRIPTION

Perhaps more clearly than any other part of the biblical canon, the Psalms are human words directed toward God. Yet, through the Holy Spirit, these honest, sometimes brutal words return to us as the Word of God. Their agonies and exaltations reflect more than the human condition in which they were created. Within the context of the canonical Psalter, they become the source of divine guidance, challenge, confrontation, and comfort. It is possible, however, to miss apply them. How can we use the Psalms in a way that faithfully connects God’s meaning in them and his intentions for them with our circumstances today.

Drawing on over twenty years of study Gerald H. Wilson in Psalms, Vol. 1 [NIVAC] provides critical links between the Bible and the modern world. While he considers each psalm in itself, Wilson goes much further, examining whole groups of Psalms and, ultimately, the entire Psalter (though this volume is limited to Psalms 1-72 in terms of Psalms under specific discussion), its purpose, and its use from the days of the Hebrew temple worship onward through church history. In so doing, Wilson opens our eyes to ageless truths for our lives here and now.

NIV Application Commentary: 2 Peter & Jude

DESCRIPTION

In 2 Peter & Jude [NIVAC] Douglas Moo unpacks a surprising number of insight and practical lessons from two of the New Testament’s least used and most underated books. While these epistles are short, Moo shows that they remain important for the modern Christian by applying them to modern life.
