Who is Jesus? What did he do? What did he say? -Are the traditional answer to these questions still to be trusted? - Did the early church and tradition "Christianize" Jesus? - Was Christianity built on clever conceptions of the church, or on the character and actions of an actual person? These and similar questions have come under scrutiny by a forum of biblical scholars called the Jesus Seminar. Their conclusions have been widely publicized in magazines such as Time and Newsweek. Jesus Under Fire challenges the methodology and findings of the Jesus Seminar, which generally clash with the biblical records. It examines the authenticity of the words, actions, miracles, and resurrection of Jesus, and presents compelling evidence for the traditional biblical teachings. Combining accessibility with scholarly depth, Jesus Under Fire helps readers judge for themselves whether the Jesus of the Bible is the Jesus of history, and whether the gospels' claim is valid that he is the only way to God.

The NIV Application Commentary: Matthew

In the aftermath of the waves of discipleship programs that have swept over the church in the last 30 years, clergy, and laypersons alike are more confused than ever about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. What should a disciple of Jesus look and act like today? What is the relationship between discipleship and salvation, between discipleship and sanctification, between discipleship and ministry? How were disciples of Jesus different from other disciples in the ancient world? How did the early church carry out Jesus' agenda in "making disciples of all the nations"? In Following the Master, Michael J. Wilkins addresses these and many other questions that perplex the church today- not by offering another discipleship program or manual but by presenting a comprehensive biblical theology of discipleship. Following the Master compares other forms of master-disciple relationships in existence in the ancient Judaism and Greco-Roman world, traces Jesus' steps as he called and developed disciples, and Mediterranean world as it followed Jesus' command to make disciples. Following the Master lays the groundwork necessary for developing biblical discipleship ministries in the church, on the mission field, and in parachurch ministries. It is essential reading for all pastors, students, and Christian workers.

Following the Master

Brimming with lavish, full-color photos and graphics, the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary walks you verse by verse through all the books of the New Testament. It’s like slipping on a set of glasses that lets you read the Bible through the eyes of a first-century reader! Discoveries await you that will snap the world of the New Testament into gripping immediacy. Things that seem mystifying, puzzling, or obscure will take on tremendous meaning when you view them in their ancient context. You’ll deepen your understanding of the teachings of Jesus. You’ll discover the close, sometimes startling interplay between God’s kingdom and the practical affairs of the church. Best of all, you’ll gain a deepened awareness of the Bible’s relevance for your life. Written in a clear, engaging style, this beautiful set provides a new and accessible approach that more technical expository and exegetical commentaries don’t offer.

Jesus Under Fire questions the findings of the Jesus Seminar that have challenged the biblical record of Jesus and his life and ministry, and presents rationally grounded affirmations of the traditional biblical teachings. Arguments are clearly laid out so that the church and the broader community can understand the issues and respond to modern theories intelligently and responsibly. Contributors, including New Testament scholars, philosophers, and apologists, begin with an evaluation of the methodology of the modern critical approach and a review of the latest wave of controversial books. The words, the actions, the miracles, and the resurrection of Jesus are examined for authenticity. Finally, the issues of exclusivism and pluralism are addressed.

With a comprehensive sweep of the relevant literature - including classical and Hellenistic sources, the Septuagint, and the New Testament - the author defines disciple and related terms as they were used in the ancient world. Pertinent Semitic words from the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinic literature, and Qumran documents provide additional background for the term.

Comentario bíblico con aplicación NVI Mateo: Del texto bíblico a una aplicación contemporánea (Comentarios bíblicos con aplicación NVI) (Spanish Edition)

La mayoría de los comentarios bíblicos solo son un viaje de ida: nos llevan del siglo veintiuno al siglo primero. Pero nos dejan allí, dando por sentado que de algún modo sabremos regresar por nosotros mismos. Dicho de otro modo, se centran en el significado original del pasaje, sin embargo, no se adentran en su aplicación a la vida contemporánea. La información que ofrecen es muy valiosa, pero resulta tan solo una ayuda a medias. Los Comentarios Bíblicos con Aplicación NVI nos ayudan con las dos partes de la tarea interpretativa, es decir, también nos ayudan a aplicar un mensaje de otra época a nuestro contexto actual. Esta serie no solo nos explica lo que significó para los lectores originales, sino que nos demuestra que también hay un mensaje poderoso para la iglesia de hoy. Para lograrlo analiza cada pasaje en tres partes: 1. Sentido original. 2. Construyendo puentes entre los contextos del autor bíblico y el nuestro. 3. Significado contemporáneo
