What's new?
We proudly present Dr. Kaiser's latest book.....
Recovering the Unity of the Bible: One Continous Story,Plan
and Purpose by Walter C. Kaiser Jr., 2009.
"Much Biblical scholarship in the last
half-century has emphasized the Bible's diversity and discontinuity
rather than seeking any possible strands of harmony and unity.....Rediscovering
the Unity of the Bible...points instead to the way several
biblical themes substantially support the case for unity, including:
*Messianic Promise
*The People of God
*The Law of God
*The Doctrine of Salvation
*The Mission of the Old Testament
Also new in 2009 are:
Four views on: Moving Beyong the Bible to Theology
a Principalizing Model: Walter C. Kaiser Jr, A
Redemptive-Historical Model: Daniel M. Doriani, A
Drama-of-Redemption Model: Kevin J. Vanhoozer, A Redemptive-Movement
Model: William J. Webb. Series ed. Stanley N. Gundry, Gen. ed.
Gary T. Meadors (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2009.
"The Bible has long served as the standard for Christian practice, yet believers still disagree on how biblical passages should be interpreted and applied. Only when readers fully understand the constructs that inform their process of moving from Scripture to theology-and those of others-can Christians fully evaluate teachings that claim to be "biblical". Here, scholars who affirm an inspired Bible, relevant and authoritative for every era, present models they consider most faithful to Scripture...."
What
Does the LORD Require? A Guide for preaching and teaching
Biblical Ethics by Walter C. Kaiser Jr., 2009.
"Ethics is not a distinctively Christian enterprise, for Paul argued that even pagans, who show no outward knowledge of the law, demonstrate that the work of the law has been written on their hearts (Rom. 2:14-15). One's perspective, or world/life view, provides the starting point for all ethics. Thus one's ethical actions could begin from a humanistic, Islamic, Buddhist, or atheistic frame of thinking as well as a biblical one" (p9).ISBN 978-08010-3636-1 Baker Press May 2009
What Does The LORD Require? looks at how to develop
a Biblical world/life view by specifically looking at what Scripture
has to say about tough societal topics of today and just how
Christians should live and act according to these Scriptures. Each
