Explore the Enscripturation of Christian Identity Across History Every time we read the Bible, it invites us to find ourselves within its pages. When we do so, we do more than interpret ScriptureScripture interprets us. And it interprets us by naming us as we stand before the crucified and risen Lord.In Clothed in the Word, David Ney combines historical analysis and biblical hermeneutics to explore the ways in which Christians throughout church history have found themselves embodied or "enscripturated" in the stories of the Bible.Through meticulous examination of pivotal biblical figures, this scholarly yet accessible work reveals how people of faith across centuries have applied scriptural names and identities to themselves and their communities. Extending beyond individual identification, this practice creates a participatory experience that encompasses entire faith communities and speaks to their standing before God and in Christ.As the text of Scripture and the reader interact with one another, many Christians throughout history have identified with the experiences of biblical figures, clothing themselves with their names and roles as a way of understanding and living out their faith.Clothed in the Word explores numerous examples like these from throughout Christian history: In the New Testament, John the Baptist is identified with Elijah the prophet. In ancient Christianity, believers often portrayed themselves as Paul the athlete who endured to the end, as they, too, persevered under trial. In the Middle Ages, Hildegard of Bingen saw herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, not merely identifying with her but literally living out her life as a consecrated virgin. During the Reformation, several figures viewed themselves as Abel, appealing to God on behalf of their enemies, whom they identified as Cain. In recent years, Harriet Tubman famously understood herself to be a Moses figure commissioned by God to lead her people to a Promised Land. Perfect for church history courses, seminary education, and advanced undergraduate religious studies, this work offers professors, students, and interested lay readers perceptive insights on how Scripture continues to shape Christian identity across time and culture.Through this study of how the saints of history have enscripturated the saints of Scripture, Ney invites us to interpret our own lives in light of the stories of Scripture, thus clothing ourselves in the garments of the Word and discovering anew that the Bible is the Book of Life.

Uncover How Scripture And The Natural World Are Deeply Intertwined Every page of the Old Testament breathes with the life of Gods creation. From rainbows and desert winds to the roaring of a lion and green hills after rain, nature is woven through the biblical story and helps make it memorable. The natural world of the Bible holds memories of faith, failure, promise, and renewal.In Landscapes of Memory, Emma Austin blends biblical scholarship, memory studies, and insights from her own journeys through the lands of the Bible to show how the natural world is a key to remembering and engaging the Old Testament in a sensory way. You are invited to walk the same paths, breathe the same air, and feel the same seasons that shape the words of the Old Testament.Austin calls these connections among memory, nature, and text mnemonature. She demonstrates that the biblical landscape is not mere background, but a dynamic element in the story of faith, serving also to nurture spiritual formation.What youll find in Landscapes of Memory: Scholarly depth that integrates Old Testament biblical studies, archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern comparative literature, memory studies, spiritual formation, and personal experience. Austins new approach to how biblical authors reference nature; the memorable characteristics of natural features; and the impact on the readers understanding of the text, termed mnemonature. An invitation to come alive to the immersive world of Scripture, seeing how the natural world of the Bible invites you to engage with the biblical text in transformative ways. This book is an enriching companion for scholars and students of the Old Testament, pastors, and anyone drawn to the relationship of Scripture, memory, and the natural world. With Landscapes of Memory, discover how nature can fill you with awe and direct your attention to the God who made it.

The gospel is not meant to make us hyperspiritual. Its meant to make us fully human. Do you love Jesus but struggle to connect your faith to your daily work, hobbies, relationships, and everyday decisions? Many of us have been shaped by an understanding of discipleship thats focused primarily on "spiritual things" like reading Scripture, praying, and going to church. We might view the "secular" parts of our lives as neutral at best, or dangerous distractions from whats truly important at worst.You might have questions: Does God care about my work? Are hobbies a waste of time? Does it matter what I eat? Does my body matter as much as my soul? Is it okay for Christians to experience anxiety or depression? Pastor Jeremy Treat understands this disconnect. In Everyday Discipleship, he dismantles the harmful sacred-secular divide that leaves many Christians feeling spiritually compartmentalized, uncertain about how faith applies to ordinary life, and unable to fully enjoy Christ in the entirety of our lives.This practical, transformative book reveals how following Jesus encompasses every sphere of our existence, from the meals we eat to the work we do, from our engagement with technology to our approach to relationships.Explore how faith in Jesus shapes the most practical areas of your life: Daily activities like meals, work, rest, and play Engagement with society through technology, art, science, and politics Personal matters like the body, mental health, sexuality, and relationships Trade a compartmentalized mindset for a holistic understanding of discipleship that is rooted in the good news of Jesus. The mundane, often-overlooked parts of life can become infused with meaning and purpose as you learn to follow Jesus even in those areas. With Everyday Discipleship, begin to fully embrace your ordinary life to the glory of an extraordinary God.

We Misread the Bible When Women Are Left Out Ignore them, marginalize them, or dismiss them as brief cameosthese have long been common approaches to Christian teaching on the women of the Bible. The result? We miss their significance in the biblical story and, in turn, misunderstand Scripture itself. Scholar Sandra Glahn challenges this pattern, calling readers to recognize how biblical narrative actually works. When we do, we see that women are not incidental to the story but essential to it.In A Womans Place Is in the Story, Glahn models how we can better read stories in their literary context and understand why the original authors included what they did. She reexamines both well-known and neglected passages, such as Tamar and Judah, the Hebrew midwives, Abigail, and the Samaritan woman at the well. Even when they appear briefly, women in Scripture move the plot forward and reveal profound truths about who God is.In this book, youll explore how leaving women out of the biblical story changes the plot and meaning that was intended, how distorting women as they appear in the biblical story affects the way we view women in general, and how misunderstanding how women appear in the story affects the way we view God. Women have always been part of the whole story of God. With A Womans Place Is in the Story, discover how rightly seeing women in the biblical narrative leads to more faithful interpretation and application for the benefit of all Gods people.Its time to tell the whole story.

Everyday Encounters with God Through the Lens of C. S. Lewis For many Christians, the mysticssaints and teachers throughout Christian history who have experienced direct encounters with Godare in a category of their own. We read about the supernatural experiences of biblical figures like Moses, Isaiah, and John, and historical figures like Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila, and John of the Cross, but how can we have spiritual experiences like theirs when our own walks with God feel ordinary and mundane?In The Everyday Mysticism of C. S. Lewis, professor of spiritual formation Gary Selby shows us what the mystics can teach us about everyday spirituality through the eyes of one of the most beloved Christian authors of the last century.C. S. Lewis deeply respected the mystics and thought that their experience truly represented the glory of God breaking into human existence. Lewis believed that in our daily encounters with beauty, we can glimpse the same kind of transcendent union with God that the mystics were given, and that the rich treasures of their tradition could be mined to enrich our day-to-day lives in Christ.What youll find in this book: Practical guidance on spiritual growth and practices like centering prayer and contemplative attention using Lewiss paradigm.

Lewiss body of work that illuminates a seldom-analyzed dimension of his thought and writing.

Become Stewards of Gods Vision Where You Are Its possible for American Christians to live everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Were often disconnected from the places we inhabitcut off from nature, our neighbors, people different from us, and a sense of rootedness. Its time to imagine a better way.Each of us is placed by God in a specific "somewhere." Drawing on social science research and their experiences across American landscapes and the Middle East, Ben Norquist and Brian Miller show how Christians in the US can develop a redemptive imagination for place. Many people have uncritically accepted American cultural assumptions about land, property, home ownership, and the good life. Yet our identity as followers of Jesus should transform how we live in the physical world, even as we recognize how places shape their inhabitants.Every Somewhere Sacred explores tools for deeply understanding or "reading" places; interdisciplinary scholarship from Scripture, sociology, and theology on land and place; and connections between colonialism, race, social class, and American landscapes. Norquist and Miller offer a variety of personal and corporate practices including land research, reassessing priorities and habits, advocating for others, and reconsidering the nature of sacred space, prompting us toward a broader vision for how God works through space, using biblical lenses of landscape as gift, sacrament, kin, and home. Are you seeking a rooted, meaningful faith that responds to the needs of your community? If you want to dive deeper into a theology of place, Every Somewhere Sacred will help you connect to your own "somewhere" and offer guidance for becoming a steward of Gods vision where you are.
