Paul and Silas had visited Thessalonica in the autumn of 49 CE, on Paul's second missionary journey, having passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, since there was no synagogue in either town.The apostle preached for "three Sabbaths"-i.e., somewhere between fifteen and twenty-seven days As was the custom of the first century Judaism, the synagogue would have meetings on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. "Three Sabbaths" then would mean that

Just as human friendship is nurtured by communication, so is divine friendship. In a thought-provoking new book, Earl Palmer reveals how prayer is "our side of the friendship, our side of the relationship with almighty God."

Employee. Parent. Daughter. Neighbor. Student. Son. Spouse. Friend. Volunteer. We each have so many different roles to fulfill that we feel splintered, our lives divided into a dozen pieces. We don't intend to cover up one side of ourselves. But sometimes that happens anyway as we try to meet a myriad of expectations. Insidiously a pattern of pretense creeps into our lives almost without our knowing it. What should tie our lives together, of course, is our commitment to Christ. But even this can be compartmentalized. We act as if we have it all together, as if we are successful people and good Christians. Yet inside we fight a fierce battle to keep the strands of our life together. Earl Palmer answers our cries for help by showing how we can live as Christians with integrity. He shows how Christ can guide all we do and help us to be honest about where we fall short. This takes us to the Philippians, a group of believers who, like us, faced many difficulties that put stress on their consistency in Christ. And this is why we love the letter to the Philippians, because it is written to and about people, people at risk, much as we are at risk. Paul urges the Philippian Christians to live out their faith "worthy of the gospel." He is urging a style of living that is in keeping with and dependent on the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is this integrity of life as a Christian woman or man that Paul advocates, directly or indirectly, all through this letter.

In this important new commentary, Earl Palmer shares full measure of his well-known skills as a dynamic communicator and gifted expositor. The time is opportune. The Letters of John, have apparently seemed too simple to have received the attention they deserve. While they have suffered dry and technical treatment from most biblical interpreters, Palmer catches hold of the fire and joy of John's Letters and frees the reader to experience the full impact of their message not only to the early church but to us today about life, light (truth), and love.

The Gospel of John is the intimate Gospel, says Earl Palmer, because it is the most personal and revealing of all the portraits of Jesus in the New Testament. It is "an intimate journal" of a man who knew Jesus personally, who can tell us not only what Jesus did, but also what he thought and felt. It is the intimate Gospel, as well, because John's aim is to produce in the reader the same faith and trust Jesus called forth in his lifetime. In this stimulating study, Earl Palmer takes us on a fascinating journey through this most personal of narratives, seeking to intepret its historical and theological significance but also to confront the really vital and costly questions it raises for the believer: What does John's narrative about Jesus mean for my life here and now? Included is a study guide to facilitate both individual reading and group discussion.
