| New! | Filled with the Spirit
John R. Levison
Retail Price: $45.00
CBD Price: $32.99
Buy 20 or more for $31.34 each.
( Only 4 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
In writing Filled with the Spirit, John R. Levison, has produced a ground breaking and definitive study on the Holy Spirit. Encompassing the literature of Ancient Israel, Early Judaism, the Greco-Roman world, and the New Testament, Levinson provides a historical picture of how people have encountered and documented the Holy Spirit, and how they have interpreted those encounters theologically. What he reveals is that each era is related to the others, but that each era also expresses those realities in unique ways. More specifically, Levinson examines the use of the phrase "filled the Spirit" in each context and how this concept fundamentally changed the ancient world. Finally, Levison engages with Herman Gunkel's short studies The Spirit and the Impoverishment of Judaism and The Spirit and Diversity in Early Christian Literature providing summary and critique for each, while building upon these early, but highly, formative studies.

Early Narrative Christology: The Lord in the Gospel of Luke
C. Kavin Rowe
Retail Price: $39.99
CBD Price: $29.99
Buy 48 or more for $28.49 each.
( Only 3 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
Despite the striking frequency with which the Greek word for kyrios
(Lord) occurs in Luke's Gospel, this study is the first comprehensive
analysis of Luke's use of this word. Rowe offers a careful exegetical
discussion of all the passages in the Gospel that use kyrios for Jesus
in order to trace the complex and deliberate development in Luke's
narrative of Jesus' identity as Lord. Detailed attention to Luke's
artistry and use of Mark demonstrates that Luke has a nuanced and
sophisticated Christology.

Studies in Johannine Literature | Father, Son and Spirit: The Trinity and John's Gospel
Andreas J. Kostenberger, Scott R. Swain
Retail Price: $22.00
CBD Price: $15.99
Buy 36 or more for $15.19 each.
( In Stock )
From the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a
major source for the church's knowledge, doctrine, and worship of the
triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel
provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the
Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on
this material---particularly patterns that seek to account in some way
for the distinct personhood and divinity of Father, Son and Spirit
without compromising the unity of God...read more

The Word of Life: A Theology of John's Gospel
Craig R. Koester
Retail Price: $21.00
CBD Price: $14.28

Despite its often simple language, the Gospel of John is complex and theologically provocative.

He also discusses John's theological language, including the expressions "born again" and "the way." This work will be read with great benefit by by both laypeople and those who have been formally theologically trained.

| New in Pauline Studies | The Deliverance of God: An Apocalyptic Rereading of Justification in Paul
Douglas A. Campbell
Retail Price: $85.00
CBD Price: $69.99
( In Stock )
Douglas Campbell's aptly titled The Deliverance of God: An Apocalyptic Rereading of Justification in Paul
begins with the basic premise that modern interpreters of Paul are
crippled by modern political traditions (especially individualism and
contractualism) and that before real exegesis and interpretation can
begin these interpretive models must be exposed. Only then can an "apocalyptic re-reading"
begin and appropriate account be taken of Paul's own cultural context
and the theological tradition of the church. With this approach in
mind, Campbell delivers an exceptionally unique and exhaustive work
N.T. Wright describes as a "historical, exegetical, and theological tour de force"...Read More

Inhabiting the Cruciform God: Kenosis, Justification, and Theosis
Michael J. Gorman
Retail Price: $24.00
CBD Price: $17.99
Buy 48 or more for $17.09 each.
( Only 2 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
A groundbreaking study on Paul's doctrine of salvation. Building on his influential Cruciformity: Paul's Narrative Spirituality of the Cross,
Gorman argues that Jesus' cruciformity is at the heart of his
participation in the Godhead. His fresh examination of key Pauline
texts especially stresses the covenantal, participatory, and
transformative character of theosis and its relationship to justice.

archaeology to confirm his arguments. Rich in erudition and
exegesis---an ideal resource for scholars and students.

The Heavenly Trumpet: John Chrysostom and the Art of Pauline Interpretation
Margaret M. Mitchell
Retail Price: $44.95
CBD Price: $37.99
Buy 20 or more for $36.09 each.
( Available to ship on or about 01/03/10. )
Arguing that all Pauline interpretation depends significantly upon the ways in which readers formulate their own images of the apostle, Margaret M. Mitchell posits that John Chrysostom, the most profilic interpreter of the Pauline epistles in the early church, exemplifies this phenomenon. Mitchell brings together Chrysostom's copious portraits of Paul - of his body, his soul, and his life circumstances - and for the first time analyzes them as complex rhetorical compositions built open well-known conventions of Greco-Roman rhetoric. Two appendixes offer a fresh translation of Chrysostom's seven homilies de laudibus sancti Pauli and a catalog of color plates of artistic representation that graphically represent the author/exegete dynamic this study explores.

Justification of God
John Piper
Retail Price: $21.99
CBD Price: $15.99
( In Stock )
When most people think of John Piper, they don't necessarily think of scholarship, but pastoral ministry. Indeed, Piper is one of America's most influential pastors, but he is also an exacting scholar with extraordinary acumen. Piper has published several academic titles (mostly in journals), including this thorough grammatical and exegetical study of Romans 9.1-23. Whether one agrees with Piper is irrelevant. What matters is the arguments he brings to the table, the evidence he cites, and the need to come to terms with one's own position on Romans 9. This is by far the most outstanding study on this passage, and one cannot responsibly engage in discussion on the topic without taking account of it.
