Experience the whole story of the Bible like you never have beforeMost people can recount some of the big stories in the Bible--Adam and Eve in the Garden, Noah and the flood, Jonah and the fish, David and Goliath--but relatively few could probably explain the significance of these far-ranging stories to the whole story of Scripture. Are they mere vehicles for ethical teaching? Are they morality lessons? How do they relate to the other stories in Scripture and to your life today?Whether you've been reading the Bible all your life or you don't even know where to start, The 52 Greatest Stories of the Bible will help you connect the stories that you may be familiar with--the Israelites crossing the Red Sea or Jesus multiplying food--to the Biggest Story of all: a holy God reconciling to Himself a broken and sinful humankind.And when you understand that incredible story, you discover there's a place in it for you.

One in a series of twelve New Testament verse-by-verse commentary books edited by Max Anders. Includes discussion starters, teaching plan, and more. Great for lay teachers and pastors alike.

In this book, Ken Boa takes the reader on an innovative exercise as he examines what six prominent theologians and eight psychologists of renown believe and teach about human needs. Where do they agree about human nature? Where do they disagree? Are their differences based on scientific knowledge? Psychobabble has become a part of culture''s everyday vocabulary. Terms are bandied about and statements are taken as truth without knowing where they come from or what they imply. Augustine to Freud will help readers see how psychological perspectives are in harmony with Christian theological perspectives, and where they sometimes do conflict.
