We are living in a me-focused, treat-yourself world--a world that incessantly encourages us to focus on ourselves. But a life turned inward--rather than focused on God--brings peril and confusion. When we fail to know God properly, we become selfish and hopeless. Pastor Jonathan Griffiths shows us how God Alone can transform us. With pastoral warmth and heart, Griffiths shows us God in all His beauty and goodness. Readers will gain knowledge of God's attributes. Through this knowledge, trust, hope, and joy emerge. Confidence grows with a robust understanding of God's love.This book is both a plea for the people of God to know Him intimately and, at the same time, an invitation to those who do not yet know Him--come and experience the wonderful, beautiful, powerful God revealed in Scripture.

Is "preaching" mandated in the post-apostolic context, and if so, how does it relate to the preaching of the Old Testament prophets and of Jesus and his apostles? In this NSBT volume Jonathan Griffiths seeks answers to these questions in the New Testament, surveying the Scripture and setting his exegetical findings within the context of biblical theology.

Valuable study of the key biblical texts relating to preaching in the post-apostolic age, with theological and pastoral conclusions

Too often, valuable New Testament scholarship never finds its way to the preacher's or pastor's study because it is presented in a form that is not practically digestible in the time available for sermon preparation. The motivation for this volume is the desire to bridge the gap between the work of evangelical scholars in universities and colleges and the world of the busy preacher and Bible teacher. Specifically, it offers a theological introduction to the New Testament book of Hebrews, by way of a set of expositions of some significant themes and difficult questions, by some well-known scholars. Topics covered are: the new covenant (Peter O'Brien); the word of God (Jonathan Griffiths); the priesthood of Christ (Richard Gaffin, Jr); the tabernacle (David Gooding); warning and assurance (Thomas Schreiner); access and arrival (Peter Walker); perfection (David Peterson); and suffering (Bruce Winter). These studies are accessible to all serious students of the Bible. The contributors share the conviction that theological research is ultimately only valuable insofar as it aids the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Paul's second letter to Timothy is a letter written from one pastor to another, and it is designed to train, equip and encourage Timothy for the work of ministry.

This is intended to accompany Introducing 2 Timothy.
