Israel & The Nations: The History of Israel from the Exodus to the Fall of the Second Temple
F.F. Bruce
Retail Price: $22.00
CBD Price: $17.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
Israel's antiquity is one of the most outstanding accounts of human history. Occupying a narrow strip of land between sea and desert, Israel is positioned on an international highway of commerce and warfare. F. F. Bruce shapes the daunting complexities of this history, from the exodus to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, narrating the journey in accessible prose that sparkles with clarity. More than half of the book is devoted to the postexilic history of Israel, the "intertestamental" period and the first-century history that forms the backdrop of the New Testament. First published in 1963, this book has achieved wide recognition as an excellent introduction to the history of Israel.

The Reformation: How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World
Stephen J. Nichols
Retail Price: $12.99
CBD Price: $9.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
| Stephen J. Nichols is more than a storyteller. He is truly a teacher, presenting a winning apologia for the necessity of church history and the importance of the Reformation for today. The Reformation deals with difficult questions of unity, ecumenism, and pluralism, and---despite its playful tone---it considers these issues in the spirit of the Reformation. Accordingly, The Reformation also contains an appendix of source documents, including excerpts from the Ninety-Five Theses and significant confessions and catechisms. |
