"A companion volume to the immensely successful Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament""An invaluable reference tool""Written and edited by leading scholars in this subject, the Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament will prove an invaluable reference tool that focuses on one of the most important topics in biblical interpretation. While many areas of background shed needed light on the New Testament, few if any are as critical as the Scriptures that informed the thinking and theology of the New Testament writers and their audiences. With essays addressing essential topics, this work complements the valuable Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament."--Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary"The editors are to be congratulated for assembling a stellar team of contributors, who present us with the results of decades of communal scholarly reflection on how the New Testament uses the Old. Far from merely summarizing existing knowledge, these articles advance our understanding of this subject, which is central for understanding Christian Scripture."--Peter Williams, Tyndale House"This impressive collection of articles represents years of research, writing, organizing, and editing. Pastors, professors, and careful students of the Bible will benefit from this outstanding reference work. A remarkable achievement."--Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte"The Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament can best be described as a companion volume to the immensely successful Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, riding the big wave of studies on the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament. The articles of the dictionary, which move from Abraham to Zephaniah and condense relevant English-language scholarship, survey all the biblical books and discuss biblical-theological topics (e.g., church, covenant, creation, ethics, gospel, Holy Spirit, justification, promise, shame, sin, wrath), Jewish exegetical traditions (e.g., Apocrypha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint), and inner-biblical exegesis (e.g., allegory, method, orality, rhetoric, typology, systematic theology, biblical theology). The dictionary is an indispensable resource for all who interpret, teach, and preach both Old Testament and New Testament texts. The editors and Baker Academic are to be congratulated on producing this magnificent volume."--Eckhard J. Schnabel, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"A concise, comprehensive, well-produced, and user-friendly guide to the way the New Testament uses the Old is exactly what pastors and scholars need--and here it is. The scholarship is up-to-date, the presentation is comprehensible to nonspecialists, and the overall structure makes it easy to trace particular themes and apply them in a variety of church and seminary contexts. An essential resource and an ideal gift to any student of the Bible."--Gerald Bray, Beeson Divinity School

Er dit liv stadig på linje med Kristus?Jesus befaler alle at gå ud og gøre mennesker fra alle nationer til hans disciple. Befalingen er ikke kun givet til prædikanten eller evangelisten. Er du villig til at gøre andre til disciple?Eller er du frygtsom og siger: ’Det kan jeg ikke gøre’? Derek Prince siger i denne bog: ”Det er måske én af de største farer, der møder os som kristne – at være bange for at gå fremad i tro. Vi ønsker i stedet at være på den sikre side. Vi tør ikke tage den risiko”.Hvis du føler, at du ikke kan dele de gode nyheder om Jesus med dine venner eller din familie, så vil denne bog udfordre dig til at overveje din holdning. Den vil opmuntre dig til at bruge de resurser, Gud har givet dig, til at fuldføre Kristi sidste befaling.Derek Prince (1915-2003) er forfatter til mere end 50 bøger, 600 lydbånd og 110 videoer med undervisning, hvoraf mange er oversat og udgivet på mere end 100 sprog.

Reading psalms in context The Psalter is a carefully edited work, skillfully arranged to communicate a theological message. The Promised Davidic King is a case study of how a single psalm shapes--and is shaped by--its context in the Psalter. Wyatt Aaron Graham argues that Psalm 108 plays a guiding role in Book V (Pss 107-150). Following Israel's return from exile in Psalm 107, Psalm 108 introduces the eschatological King and kingdom further developed in Psalms 109-110. Psalm 108 repurposes Psalms 57 and 60, which in this location, take on renewed meaning in the Psalter's unfolding story of redemption. Graham's study of Psalm 108 gives insight into the meaning of the Psalms and displays the benefits of reading psalms in their context.

Hvorfor er verdens opmærksomhed fokuseret på det lille land Israel?Hvordan kan mellemøsten opnå sand retfærdighed og fred?Hvordan har Israels historie og fremtid indflydelse på kristne i dag?Disse spørgsmål er blandt de mange, som Derek Prince tager fat på i dette grundige studium af Guds profetier angående Israels land og Israels folk. Grundig bibelsk analyse åbenbarer, hvordan Israels skæbne er sammenvævet med Kirkens skæbne. Israel er i dag i centrum af en stærk magtkonflikt, men Gud har oprettet bestemte pagter både med Israel og Kirken. Derfor må Israels genoprettelse være et alvorligt anliggende for kristne, hvis Skriftens troværdighed ikke skal drages i tvivl. Derek Prince kalder derfor kristne til at anerkende deres åndelige gæld til Israel og til at holde Israel oppe i bøn.Derek Prince (1915-2003) er forfatter til over 50 bøger og mere end 700 undervisninger på lyd- og videobånd.

Like the proverbial fish that has heard a lot about the Great Ocean and spends an entire lifetime searching for it, not realising it has always been an inseparable part of the ocean, man spends his lifetime searching all around for God. All man has to do, in fact, is simply turn his gaze inwards to realise that God or the Self has always been an inseparable part of him. The Upanishads tell man that he is not a mere mortal, but a part of the Immortal One. This book shows you just how to go about uncovering the layers of ignorance and illusion to realise your true nature - the Self. This is the path to moksha or nirvana (liberation), which every seeker wishes to tread upon in order to break the cycle of birth and death. With pearls of wisdom from the Upanishads, the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita, this book could transform your way of life forever, teaching you the true meaning of existence. Highlights: *A detailed account about how many Upanishads are there(Isavasya Upanishad, Kathopanishad, Mandukya Upanishad etc.), and an overview of what they contain *Explanation of basic concepts like Ishwar, Atma, Paramatma *To whom the Upanishads are addressed *Brief outlines of different Upanishads.
