Publisher: Zondervan Academic
Price: $4.49       (Limited Time Only)

God Never ChangesOr does he? God has been getting a makeover of late, a “reinvention” that has incited debate and troubled scholars and laypeople alike. Modern theological sectors as diverse as radical feminism and the new “open theism” movement are attacking the classical Christian view of God and vigorously promoting their own images of Divinity.God Under Fire refutes the claim that major attributes of the God of historic Christianity are false and outdated. This book responds to some increasingly popular alternate theologies and the ways in which they cast classical Christian theism in a negative light. Featuring an impressive cast of world-class biblical scholars, philosophers, and apologists, God Under Fire begins by addressing the question, “Should the God of Historic (more…)

Contending with Paul 3: Paul’s Co-Workers – Biographies & Insights (The Contending With Paul Series)
Author(s): William Joseph Cobble
Price: $2.99       (Apr 30 – May 6)

“Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ …” (Romans 16:9)
“As for Titus, he is my partner and co-worker in your service …” (2nd Corinthians 8:23)
“Epaphroditus – my brother and co-worker and fellow soldier …” (Philippians 2:25)
“… together with Clement and the rest of my co-workers …” (Philippians 4:3)
“These are the only ones of the circumcision among my co-workers …” (Colossians 4:11)
“… and we sent Timothy, our brother and co-worker …” (1st Thessalonians 3:2)
“To Philemon our dear friend and co-worker …” (Philemon 2)

“The term sunergos (fellow worker, helper, co-worker) is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who work alongside others in the ministry of the Gospel. It emphasizes collaboration and partnership in the work of God. The word conveys a sense of unity and shared purpose among believers as they labor together for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.” – Berean Strong’s Lexicon

As Paul took the Gospel into the Graeco-Roman world, who were the men and women who partnered with him? In Paul’s letters, their names are sometimes found within a verse or passage from which some biographical or historical information can be gleaned. In these places, Paul might disclose a co-worker’s role within his ongoing work, divulge the part they played in some internal controversy, or even eulogize their passing. When also found in the Book of Acts, additional clues are occasionally available that help one to further discern the “when, where, and how” of the co-worker’s involvement in Paul’s missionary endeavors.

Contending with Paul 2: What Paul’s Letters Tell Us About Their Author(s) – And Why We Should Listen (The Contending With Paul Series)
Author(s): William Joseph Cobble
Price: $2.99       (Apr 30 – May 6)

The Christian New Testament is best understood as a library. Housed upon its shelves are twenty-seven works, thirteen of which are letters that purport to be written by Paul. Yet, since the 1800s, scholars have adamantly disputed Paul’s authorship of six of these. Why? What is found within the six Disputed Letters that raises such doubt?

Hidden within these letters are statements such as the ones below which sound very unlike the Paul of the seven Undisputed Letters:

* Women achieve salvation through childbirth: “Yet she will be saved through childbearing providing they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.” (1st Timothy 2:15)
* Women are to be subjugated within the church: “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent.” (1st Timothy 2:12)
* Slaves must obey their masters as they would obey Jesus: “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ…” (Ephesians 6:5)
* Jesus’ sufferings were insufficient for the Church, but Paul’s are not: “I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church.” (Colossians 1:24)

Contending with Paul: The Hidden Story Behind the Writing of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (The Contending With Paul Series Book 1)
Author(s): William Joseph Cobble
Price: $2.99       (Apr 30 – May 6)

Using a blend of history, theology, biography, and literary criticism, Contending with Paul focuses primarily on the first two generations of the Christian movement. It is the first generation who would initially debate how the message of Jesus should be presented to the Gentile world (non-Jews) and what would be expected of those Gentiles who desired to follow Jesus. It is the second generation of believers who began to write in a new literary genre that Christians call “gospels.” The Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of Mark, and the Gospel of Luke, are the earliest three to have survived, and it is through these writings that the debates of the first generation get carried forward by the second. Though all three gospels were written after the death of Paul, it is asserted by the author that each gospel writer contended with his continuing influence in some way, though each from their own distinctive vantage point.

Paul’s influence may be underestimated if one only counts his 13 extant works in the New Testament. For the benefit of using a round number, it can be estimated that Paul ministered for 30 years. Also, for the sake of a round number, the churches and individuals to whom he corresponded may be estimated to be 20. Supposing he wrote to each of these entities twice a year, Paul’s total ministerial correspondence would rise from his 13 extant works to an output of 1,200. Paul would likely have been a dynamic figure in person as well. He is portrayed as a vigorous traveler and a gifted debater. Herein lies the influence. Not only is it credible that this influence would have been felt by the gospel writers, it may have been impossible for them to completely insulate themselves from it.
