Many Christians think of the doctrine of creation primarily as relating to the worlds origins. In The Beginning and End of All Things, Edward W. Klink III presents a more holistic understanding of creationa story that is unfolded throughout all of Scripture and is at the core of the gospel itself.From beginning to end, the theme of creation and new creation not only directs the movement of the entire biblical story but also unifies its message. Klink explores the goodness of the physical world and how it will be perfected in the new creation of heaven and earth. Along with offering rich insights about God and his purposes for the world, a biblical theology of creation guides how we engage nature, culture, and life as embodied beings.About the SeriesEssential Studies in Biblical Theology (ESBT), edited by Benjamin L. Gladd and L. Michael Morales, explore the central or essential themes of the Bibles grand storyline. Taking cues from Genesis 13, authors trace the presence of these themes throughout the entire sweep of redemptive history. Written for students, church leaders, and laypeople, the ESBT offers an accessible yet rich introduction to biblical theology.

Now available for the first time in English, Karl Ludwig Schmidts The Framework of the Story of Jesus (Der Rahmen der Geschichte Jesu) has been a foundation of New Testament studies. Through meticulous analysis, Schmidt demonstrates that the Synoptic Gospels are collections of individual stories that circulated orally and independently in the earliest Christian communities. Schmidt shows persuasively how, in their oral forms, most of these traditions existed apart from any sequence or specific temporal or geographic location, and that the chronology and locations now evident in the Gospels were applied by the evangelists while collecting and recording the oral traditions. Across much of the twentieth century and even into the present day, Schmidts thesis has undergirded Gospel interpretation. Yet as long as The Framework of the Story of Jesus remained untranslated, Schmidts ideas have been open to neglect and misinterpretation among Anglophone scholars. Discussion of the Synoptic Gospels and broader New Testament study will be enriched by engagement with the evidence and argument as originally presented.

An Examination of the Beatitudes and Jesuss Counterintuitive PromisesIn our sinful world, we often struggle with anxiety, loneliness, and heartache. Everywhere we look, we see broken families and divided communities. How can we truly cultivate Gods kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven" in such a broken place? In the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:212), Jesus urges us to set ourselves apart from the world, living in a counterculture with a new identity rooted in him. The Upside Down Kingdom examines this counterintuitive wisdom and explores its relevance for today. Drawing on insights from the biblical story of redemption, church fathers, Reformation scholars throughout history, and contemporary life, this book equips and encourages readers to get their spiritual bearings in an upside-down world. Author Chris Castaldo ultimately points readers to the kingdom of Christnot as a set of rules, but as a means of bringing peace and blessing here and now.Written for Laypersons and Teachers of the Word: Perfect for those interested in issues confronting the church Thorough Study of the Beatitudes: Each chapter explores a core teaching in Christs Sermon on the Mount Appeals to Pastors and Disciple Makers: A historically informed, biblically rich, and countercultural vision of Christian life Download Study Guide

But its often difficult to remember the natural patterns of our childhood selves that enabled us to live freely in Gods wonder-filled presence.
