El COMENTARIO DEL CONTEXTO CULTURAL DE LA BIBLIA: NUEVO TESTAMENTO está escrito en un lenguaje claro y no técnico. Es el único que provee, versículo por versículo, el importante contexto cultural que se necesita para tener un estudio bíblico responsable y enriquecedor. Toda la Escritura fue dada en un contexto completamente diferente al nuestro, pero si toda la Escritura es inspirada por Dios y es útil para la enseñanza (2 Tim. 3:16), luego la misma debe tener algún propósito para nosotros. La pregunta es: ¿Cuál es ese propósito? (¿Qué enseñanza quería Dios comunicar a su pueblo?). El contexto cultural nos ayuda a deducir cuál era ese propósito. Es importante entender que la Biblia aborda temas y motivaciones como los que enfrentamos en la actualidad. Lejos de restar relevancia a la Biblia, entender la situación en la que fue dada nos ayuda a hacerla más relevante (algunas veces hasta incómodamente relevante). Nos obliga a ver que las personas con quienes trató Pablo no eran simplemente conflictivas y moralmente inestables; eran personas de carne y hueso que vivían una realidad similar a la nuestra. Para entender y aplicar bien la Biblia, necesitamos dos recursos fundamentales de información: uno es la Biblia en sí misma, el otro es una comprensión del contexto cultural del pasaje que estamos leyendo.

Niv Application Commentary : Revelation

Hodder & Stoughton Religious Division

Most modern prejudice against biblical miracle reports depends on David Hume's argument that uniform human experience precluded miracles. Yet current research shows that human experience is far from uniform. In fact, hundreds of millions of people today claim to have experienced miracles. New Testament scholar Craig Keener argues that it is time to rethink Hume's argument in light of the contemporary evidence available to us. This wide-ranging and meticulously researched two-volume study presents the most thorough current defense of the credibility of the miracle reports in the Gospels and Acts. Drawing on claims from a range of global cultures and taking a multidisciplinary approach to the topic, Keener suggests that many miracle accounts throughout history and from contemporary times are best explained as genuine divine acts, lending credence to the biblical miracle reports.

The Gospel of John, Volume One & Volume Two

Paul's letters stand at the center of the dispute over women, the church, and the home, with each side championing passages from the Apostle. Now, in a challenging new attempt to wrestle with these thorny texts, Craig Keener delves as deeply into the world of Paul and the apostles as anyone thus far. Acknowledging that we must take the biblical text seriously, and recognizing that Paul's letters arose in a specific time and place for a specific purpose, Keener mines the historical, lexical, cultural, and exegetical details behind Paul's words about women in the home and ministry to give us one of the most insightful expositions of the key Pauline passages in years.

Paul, Women, and Wives: Marriage and Women's Ministry in the Letters of Paul

Craig Keener carefully examines the New Testament Gospels and the book of Acts to provide a fuller understanding of what the Holy Spirit meant in the lives of early believers. Christianity did not arise in a vacuum, but rather it appropriated, modified, and utilized the Jewish understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit. By understanding the world in which Christianity emerged, we can better understand the earliest believers' experience of God's empowering and purifying Spirit. This paperback edition contains a new preface by Keener.
