February's Free Book of the Month

Justification Reconsidered: Rethinking a Pauline Theme [LINK]
by Stephen Westerholm, Eerdmans Publishing Co. (2013)
112 pages

Much has been written of late about what the Apostle Paul really meant when he spoke of justification by faith, not the works of the law. This short study by Stephen Westerholm carefully examines proposals on the subject by Krister Stendahl, E. P. Sanders, Heikki Räisänen, N. T. Wright, James D. G. Dunn, and Douglas A. Campbell. In doing so, Westerholm notes weaknesses in traditional understandings that have provoked the more recent proposals, but he also points out areas in which the latter fail to do justice to the apostle.
Click to expand...

Stephen Westerholm takes issue with the "New Perspective on Paul" in this short and easy-to-read book even for those not up-to-date on the issues involving the debates revolving around how various others interpreter view Paul's use of the term justification.

Chapters:
1. The Peril of Modernizing Paul
2. A Jewish Doctrine?
3. Are "Sinners" all that Sinful?
4. Justified by Faith
5. Not by Works of the Law
6. Justification and Justification Theory
7. In a Nutshell

Though the interpretation of Romans 2:14–15 is highly controversial, the main point Paul is making seems to me clear enough. Paul intends Romans 2 to establish, not that all human beings are sinners (he argues to that effect in 1:18–32, and especially in 3:9–20), but that—in spite of divine favors granted to Israel—Jews and Gentiles are essentially on the same footing, facing the same requirement to do what is good: a necessary precondition, if all are to be silenced as culpable before God (3:19). Thus, in 2:14–15, Paul responds to a question potentially arising out of his immediately preceding claim that “the doers of the law will be justified”; such a criterion does not decisively disadvantage Gentiles, he argues, even though Gentiles have not been given, in any tangible form, the law whose requirements they are bound to observe. After all, they are not in fact unaware of what the law requires, since it has been written on their heart; their conscience provides further evidence of moral awareness. And—this is the important point for our purposes—proof of Gentile moral awareness is found in those instances in which Gentiles who have not been given the law nonetheless “do what the law requires.” Paul is not here speaking of “righteous Gentiles.” His argument requires only a demonstration that Gentiles are aware of what the law requires them to do; for that purpose, occasional acts of righteousness serve equally well as habitual or characteristic ones; that Paul is thinking only of occasional acts seems clear when he goes on to say that the conscience of the same Gentiles who “do what the law requires” more typically accuses than excuses their behavior (“accuses or even excuses” [2:15]). Significant nonetheless is the evidence Paul cites to prove the moral awareness of Gentiles untransformed by the gospel of Christ: on occasion, at least, they do what is good.

Keep Your Greek - Strategies for Busy People [LINK]

by Constantine R. Campbell
Zondervan Press (2010)

Normally $7.95
FREE with Coupon code KEEPGREEK

Seminarians spend countless hours mastering biblical languages and learning how the knowledge of them illuminates the reading, understanding, and application of Scripture. But while excellent language acquisition resources abound, few really teach students how to maintain their use of Greek for the long term. Consequently, pastors and other former Greek students find that under the pressures of work, ministry, preaching, and life, their hard-earned Greek skills begins to disappear. ...

Pastors will find Keep Your Greek an encouraging and practical guide to strengthening their Greek abilities so that they can make linguistic insights a regular part of their study and teaching. Current students will learn how to build skills that will serve them well once they complete their formal language instruction.

Not Your Average Bible Study: Ephesians, Transformed in Christ [LINK]

by Miles Custis, Lexham Press (2014)

Normally: $4.99

FREE with Coupon Code: LMMFREEBOOK

INTRODUCTION

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul shows how God brought us from being “dead in trespasses and sins” (2:1–3) to being “alive together with Christ” (2:4–10). Then, he brings this truth to bear on everyday life. As believers we must “put off the old self,” characterized by ignorance and selfishness, and put on the “new self,” created in the likeness of God (4:17–24). Because Christ has loved us, we can now “walk in love” (5:2).
(p.3)

I've used this book in my Adult bible study as a resource as I teach a class entitled, Your Identity in Christ.
It's a wonderfully presented short commentary.

Lectures on Revivals of Religion [LINK]

by Charles Finney, (b. 1792 – d. 1875)
Leavitt, Lord & Co. (1835)
438 pages

Normally $21.95

FREE with coupon code FINNEYFB

Finney’s Lectures on Revivals of Religion not only remains one of his most well-known works, but also captures the spirit of the Second Great Awakening. These lectures both reflected and shaped the sentiments of the nineteenth century church in America, and prompted not only broad acceptance and implementation, but also impassioned criticism. This volume prescribes the structure of religious revival—how to prepare for and conduct a revival—and thrusts the evangelism efforts of the church to the forefront, where they remain to this day.

Opening Up John's Gospel [LINK]
by Andrew Paterson

Day One (2010)

Normally $11.95

FREE With coupon code OPENINGUPFREE

The words in this book bear little resemblance to a preaching series in John that ran for over four years in the life of Kensington Baptist Church, Bristol. But that’s where this fresh appreciation of an awe-inspiring Gospel started, and I’m so grateful for the patience and encouragement of the church family I’ve had the privilege of leading for over two decades. - - Andrew Patterson, p. 9
Click to expand...

Right at the end of his Gospel, John tells us why he wrote it: that we may "believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing [we] may have life in his name." John therefore filled his Gospel with carefully selected evidence to encourage our belief in Jesus. In this detailed yet easy-to-read commentary, Andrew Paterson examines the eyewitness evidence John provided concerning Christ’s power and authority, showing us that John wanted this evidence to result not merely in intellectual assent to these truths, but rather in "life" in Christ’s name.

A Study and Discussion Guide for Pilgrim Theology [LINK]

by Toby Kurth and Michael S.Horton

Theology should connect to practical living. The Bible does not set truth and experience and our head and our heart against each other. Pilgrim Theology and this Study Guide are both written to help us integrate our faith and practice, what we know and what we do. “Theology is the lived, social, and embodied integration of drama, doctrine, doxology, and discipleship”. This Study Guide will use Drama, Doctrine, Doxology, and Discipleship like the four coordinates of a compass to guide us on our journey to know God.

Isaiah: The Old Testament Library Series [LINK]
by Brevard S. Childs

Westminster John Knox [2001] 555 pages

Normally $42.95

FREE - through the month of April

In this important addition to the Old Testament Library, renowned scholar Brevard S. Childs writes on the Old Testament’s most important theological book. He furnishes a fresh translation from the Hebrew and discusses questions of text, philology, historical background, and literary architecture, and then proceeds with a critically informed, theological interpretation of the text.

Childs uses a canonical approach to the scriptures of the Old Testament. Rather than seeking the sources, redactors, or communities “behind” the text at the expense of the text itself, the canonical approach seeks to understand the theological message of the Old Testament as a unified book through its canonical shape.

Excerpt re: Isaiah 14:6

The term ‘almāh (“maiden”) has in the past evoked much controversy, initially because of its translation in Greek by the LXX as parthénos (“virgin”), and its subsequent role in Matt. 1:23. The noun is derived, not from the root “to be concealed” as suggested already by Jerome, but from a homonym, meaning “to be full of vigor,” “to have reached the age of puberty.” Thus the noun refers to a female sexually ripe for marriage. The emphasis does not fall on virginity as such and, in this respect, differs from the Hebrew betûlāh. However, apart from the controversial reference in Prov. 30:19, the women in all the other references to an ‘almāh do actually appear to be virgins (e.g., Gen. 24:43; Ex. 2:8; Ps. 68:26). It is very unlikely that a married woman would still be referred to as an ‘almāh. In sum, the English translation of the Hebrew by the AV as “virgin” is misleading in too narrowly focusing on virginity rather than on sexual maturity. Conversely, the preferred modern translation of “young woman” (NRSV) is too broad a rendering since it wrongly includes young wives.
An additional uncertainty arises because the term ‘almāh occurs with the definite article. Syntactically this opens up a variety of possible options. It can denote a specific maiden either present or known from tradition. Or again, it can refer generically to a class of individuals, or even to an infinite number of maidens. The interpretation can only be determined from the larger context. In my judgment, the collective interpretation of the term as defended by Duhm and Kaiser undermines the function of the sign as described above and is to be rejected.
The mother gives the child the name Immanuel, God-with-us. The name does not occur elsewhere in the Old Testament, but the close parallels from the Psalter (46:8, 12) make clear that it is an expression of trust in the presence of God integral to Israel’s piety. The attempt to locate the formula within a specific “holy war” context or within a liturgical festival remains highly speculative and is not exegetically helpful. One of the most significant features of this verse is the mysterious, even vague and indeterminate, tone that pervades the entire passage. The reader is simply not given information regarding the identity of the maiden, or how precisely the sign functions in relation to the giving of the name Immanuel. It is, therefore, idle to speculate on these matters; rather, the reader can determine if there are other avenues of understanding opened up by the larger context. Specifically, what is the significance of learning how the sign of Immanuel was interpreted from within the subsequent tradition in chapter 8 (cf. below)?

A.A. Hodge's Outlines of Theology, rewritten and enlarged [LINK] [1878]

Normally $25.95
FREE with Coupon Code HODGEFB

The new edition contains nearly fifty per cent more matter than the former one. Two chapters have been dropped, and five new ones have been added. Extracts from the principal Confessions, Creeds, and classical theological writers of the great historical churches have been appended to the discussions of the doctrines concerning which the Church is divided. Several chapters have been entirely rewritten, and many others have been materially recast, and enlarged. And the Appendix contains a translation of the CONSENSUS TIGURINUS of Calvin, and of the FORMULA CONSENSUS HELVETICA of Heidegger and Turretin, two Confessions of first class historical and doctrinal interest to the student of Reformed theology, but not easily accessible.
