Urban Legends of the New Testament surveys forty of the most commonly misinterpreted passages in the New Testament. These “urban legends” often arise because interpreters neglect a passage’s context, misuse historical background information, or misunderstand the Greek language. For each New Testament text, professor David Croteau describes the popular, incorrect interpretation and then carefully interprets the passage within its literary and historical context. Careful attention is given to sound principles of biblical interpretation to guide readers through the process and reach a more accurate understanding of each text’s meaning. With examples from the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation, Urban Legends of the New Testament will not only help readers avoid missteps in these forty texts but also provide a model for engaging in correct interpretation of other New Testament passages.

The Freedom of the Christian was Martin Luther's first public defense of the doctrine of justification by grace through faith on account of Christ alone. Luther's explosive rediscovery of the Gospel of Jesus Christ shattered the Church of Rome's foundation of works, which considered good works a part of salvation instead of a result of it. Here, Luther constructed a rich theology that relies on the full power of the Gospel, which not only grants saving faith but also nurtures that faith through good works done in the freest service. This new abridged translation from Adam Francisco, featuring a brief essay from Scott Keith, leaves no doubt that the Christian, secure in Christ, is truly free—free from sin, death, and the devil, and free to serve their neighbor.

BASIC BIBLE INTERPRETATION Can the Bible really be understood? Are Old Testament prophecies relevant for today? How can I understand the symbolism of the Book of Revelation? What is the relationship of the Old Testament to the New Testament? Why study Bible interpretation? Dr. Roy Zuck points out that it is essential for understanding and teaching the Bible properly, essential as a step beyond observation, and essential for applying the Bible correctly. He discusses the challenges of Bible interpretation, considers the problems of Bible interpretation, explores the history of Bible interpretation, and defines key terms--all in a practical, down-to-earth way. Though Dr. Zuck's many years of teaching and scholarship are evident in this book, he has written in language understandable to all who are serious about bible study and who want to know better what Scripture means.

This book describes, from various perspectives, the Love, Mercy, and Grace of someone who loves you and me. Unlike a novel, each of the chapters in my book is an independent topic. Each chapter topic is relatively brief, except the last. The last chapter is a comprehensive presentation of the answers to these questions: Who is a Christian?, and What is Christianity? My supreme and profound purpose for this book and its content is to proclaim, celebrate, praise, and glorify Jesus, His Faith, and His Truth. Author Merle Barlow reveals Gods plan of reconciliation with humanity. Jesus tells us that mans standardsreligionsrepresent the broad way that will lead to destruction (Hell), and many people will go this way. Jesus tells us that His Way is the narrow way that leads to life (Heaven), and relatively few people will choose this way. This book is about truth. Conditional and relative truth are human fabrications. Truth has no versions. God is the author of truth. He, and He alone, is the authority for Righteousness, and His Truth will free you from the bondage of sin. Life is a significant theme in this book. Jesus has conquered Satan, Sin, Death, and Hell. He tells you that you can have this same victory. Jesus tells you that you can have eternal life if you will trust Him. He asks you: Do you believe this?
