An insightful and expert commentary on The Acts of the Apostles, with a detailed examination of Paul's missionary journeys and the establishment of the early church. This is the second volume in the St Giles Commentary Series, following M J Flower's 'The King and the Kingdom: A Devotional Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew'.The apostle Paul writes to Timothy: "Present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth". This is the ambition of Luke, the author of The Acts of the Apostles - and of all of us who wait on the Lord to receive from Him a measure of understanding of His Word.In this book, the precursor to commentaries on Paul's letters, M J Flower reflects on the establishment of the early church as recounted by Luke, and illuminates the events of Acts with insightful expertise that assists us "to submit to the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit as we look more closely and more intensely at what He has given us in His word."

Paul's Letter to the Galatians
A Devotional Commentary

Paul wrote letters. He did not write theological treatises or interpretations of sacred writings. He wrote to his friends, to his brothers and sisters in Christ, to encourage, to inform, and sometimes to warn them of some specific danger to their life of faith. The letters are full of his love for them, even when they have gone astray.When we read these letters we know that they were intended for people whose culture was different from our own, living in different situations and with different needs; yet his letters speak to us too. We have the privilege of holding these precious documents in our hands, documents which have become as important to us as they were to those who first read them.Through sensitive exegesis and keen academic insight, M J Flower captures Paul's vision for the churches in Galatia and helps the reader to deepen their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.Paul's Letter to the Galatians: A Devotional Commentary is the third book in the St Giles Commentary Series, following The King and the Kingdom: A Devotional Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, and The Acts of the Apostles: A Devotional Commentary.

Paul's Letters to the Thessalonians 1 and 2
A Devotional Commentary

Of the twenty-seven books in the New Testament, thirteen are letters sent by Paul either to Christian communities or individual Christians throughout the Roman Empire, within a few decades of the life, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, for their instruction and encouragement. For each of these churches he had a distinctive message, according to the circumstances under which they were living out their new faith.This is true of his letters to the Thessalonians, which could be summarized in Paul's opening section of the letter as 'how you turned from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for His Son from heaven'. Taking these verses as the theme of both the Thessalonian letters gives us an understanding of the pagan society in which they lived, and from which they had been delivered; and the future hope of the Parousia, the second coming of Christ in glory to take His people to Himself and to begin the process of judgement.

Songs of Ascent - Psalms 120 - 134

The Book of Psalms is a unique collection of personal and communal responses to God who is loved and referred to especially in times of trouble, by both Jews and Christians; for they demonstrate that God who is holy is also God who is merciful; God who is Judge also brings comfort. This is the God whom we worship. This is the God to whom we turn for forgiveness and vision. In The Songs of Ascent can be found encouragement, explanation, confidence and loving kindness down through the ages. And for Christians, a wonderful forthtelling of the coming Messiah who for them is Jesus.

In a world perpetually chasing "eloquent wisdom" and social status, St. Paul's ancient letters to the Corinthian church remain a startlingly relevant wake-up call. Paul's Letters to the Corinthians 1 and 2: A Devotional Commentary is the latest instalment in The St Giles Commentary Series by M. J. Flower. This volume invites readers to move beyond the "milk" of elementary faith and toward the "solid food" of a life truly matured by the Holy Spirit.Flower provides a vivid window into the cosmopolitan, often chaotic city of Corinth-a Roman colony where the gospel took root amidst a melting pot of soldiers, freedmen, and thriving Jewish communities. She navigates the same tensions that Paul once addressed:The dangers of partisan "party spirits" (whether following Paul, Apollos, or Cephas).The seductive pull of worldly philosophy versus the "word of the cross".The profound responsibility of the church to live as God's temple in a secular age.More than just a historical survey, this work is a deeply personal devotional tool. It is designed for those seeking a "fuller revelation of the plan and purpose of God" and a life that both satisfies the soul and glorifies the Creator. Flower's insights are grounded in the belief that exegesis is never a stationary exercise; rather, it is a living movement where God continues to reveal His "settled" word through the Holy Spirit.The author brings a unique blend of academic rigor and practical ministry to the page. Having raised a family before pursuing her BA and MPhil at the University of Exeter, Flower's research includes a thesis on the social theory of John Milbank. Her expertise is seasoned by "more years than she would like to count" leading Bible studies and training ministers for the Diocese of Exeter. Now happily retired in Buckinghamshire, her writing reflects a life spent at the intersection of serious theology and everyday community life.Whether you are a seasoned student of scripture or a "seeker after truth," this commentary offers a bridge between the classic discussions of the past and the contemporary insights required for the church today. It serves as a reminder that while the world may see the cross as folly, to those being saved, it remains the ultimate power and wisdom of God.
