David Alan Black – författare

An academic staple updated for the first time in fifteen years, David Alan Black''s user-friendly introduction to New Testament Greek keeps discussion of grammar as non-technical as possible. The simplified explanations, basic vocabularies, and abundant exercises are designed to prepare the student for subsequent practical courses in exegesis, while the linguistic emphasis lays the groundwork for later courses in grammar. Revisions to this third edition include updated discussions and scholarship, further back matter vocabulary references, and additional appendices."A streamlined introductory grammar that will prove popular in the classroom."—Murray J. Harris, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"Clear charts, clear examples, clear discussion—what more could one want from a beginning grammar!"—Darrell L. Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary

" . . . combines the strengths of a fairly traditional sequence of topics, in generally manageable chunks with clear explanations fully abreast of modern linguistics."—Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary

"Pedagogically conceived, linguistically informed, hermeneutically sensitive, biblically focused—unique among beginning grammars. It sets a new standard."—Robert Yarbrough, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Because it is conspicuously absent from more than one early Greek manuscript, the final section of the gospel of Mark (16:9-20) that details Christ’s resurrection remains a constant source of debate among serious students of the New Testament.

Perspectives on the Ending of Mark presents in counterpoint form the split opinions about this difficult passage with a goal of determining which is more likely. Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary professors Maurice Robinson and David Alan Black argue for the verses’ authenticity. Keith Elliott (University of Leeds) and Daniel Wallace (Dallas Theological Seminary) contend that they are not original to Mark’s gospel. Darrell Bock (Dallas Theological Seminary) responds to each view and summarizes the state of current research on the entire issue.

In the comprehensive The New Testament: Its Background and Message, the late Thomas Lea presented a clear and concise introduction to the New Testament giving readers the key that unlocks the door to understanding these important texts. This influential work presents the background of the New Testament with broad strokes and with a focus on specific books including the Gospels, Acts, and Paul and his letters. Originally written in an easy-to-understand style and form, Lea’s text continues to unlock the message of the New Testament for both new students and seasoned scholars.

¿Qué es la iglesia? ¿Cómo se ve? ¿Cómo debería ser?

Para obtener respuestas a estas preguntas David Alan Black mira a la iglesia del primer siglo y nuestros documentos fundacionales en el Nuevo Testamento. ¿Cuáles eran las características de una asamblea cristiana en el primer siglo? En su estudio encuentra siete marcas que definieron a la iglesia: Predicación evangelística, bautismo cristiano, enseñanza apostólica, relaciones genuinas, reuniones centradas en Cristo, oración ferviente, y vida sacrificial.

Según Black, cada una de estas marcas debería caracterizar nuestras iglesias del siglo XXI también. Y ese es el desafío. ¿Cómo podemos aplicar estos principios en nuestras propias vidas y congregaciones?

Este breve libro no responderá a todas sus preguntas. Lo que hará es señalar hacia el camino correcto para encontrar las respuestas. Ultimadamente, Black cree que “cuanto más entendemos las Escrituras, más comprendemos la responsabilidad que tenemos de someter nuestras vidas y nuestros futuros a sus enseñanzas radicales.”

Este es el reto. ¿Listo?

This book is the story of my existence — a meandering spiritual voyage through the beautiful loud crazy called life. -- Dr. David Alan Black

Since November 2013 when his beloved Becky Lynn, wife of 37 years, went on to Heaven, Dave has been traveling a journey of grief but also a time of reflection with the immediate question of "What''s next?"

What does it mean to be running 5K races and climbing mountains in Europe? What do you do when the silence is deafening at 3 a.m. and you can''t sleep? What has the professor learned in 40 years of teaching?

These and other questions are addressed and dissected and shared as Dave gets on with living and learning more in this loud crazy called life.
