Larry R . Helyer

The Life and Witness of Peter

“We have long needed a full treatment of Peter in the

Gospels, Acts and in 1 and 2 Peter that includes a look

at his theology and issues of introduction. The Life and

Witness of Peter fills that need very nicely.”

Darrell L. Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary

Who was Peter and what was his true stature in the early

church? In The Life and Witness of Peter Larry Helyer seeks

to reinstate this neglected and underestimated apostle to

his rightful stature as an early Christian leader and faithful

witness to Christ .

Reconstructing Peter’s life, theology and legacy from

evidence in 1 and 2 Peter, the Gospels, Acts, Paul’s letters

and texts from the early church, Helyer renders a great

service for students of the New Testament . We are intro-

duced to Peter the eyewitness who stands behind much of

Mark’s Gospel, Peter the preacher who lends deep credibility

to the account of Acts, and Peter the letter writer whose

words glow with spiritual intelligence . Along the way we are

rewarded with a careful analysis of prominent theological

themes in Peter’s letters . And we learn much about the tradi-

tions, legends and legacy of Peter in the post-apostolic era .

Larry R. Helyer is emeritus professor of biblical studies at

Taylor university . He is the author of Exploring Jewish Litera-

ture of the Second Temple Period and The Witness of Jesus, Paul

and John, both from IVP Academic .

Interpreting Deuteronomy

Issues and Approaches

As with many other Old Testament books, study of Deuter-

onomy is in the midst of change . While for many scholars

the Documentary Hypothesis has continued to provide a

framework for interpretation, it no longer commands the

status of an “assured result .” Fresh approaches have been

developed, engendering their own debates over the book’s

formation and distinctive theological themes .

While exploring these and other facets, this volume

bridges the gap between general introductions to Deuter-

onomy and specialized scholarly literature . Written by

participants of the Tyndale Fellowship Old Testament Study

Group, it offers the insights of an international collection of

Old Testament scholars that will be valuable to students and

scholars alike .

David G. Firth is director of research and lecturer in

Old Testament at St . john’s College, Nottingham . He is

the author of 1 & 2 Samuel and The Message of Esther, and

coeditor of Interpreting the Psalms, Interpreting Isaiah, Words &

the Word and Presence, Power and Promise.

Philip S. Johnston is senior tutor at Hughes Hall,

Cambridge . He has taught at Belfast, St . Andrews and

Oxford . His other books include Les Psaumes, Interpreting the

Psalms (coeditor with David Firth), Shades of Sheol and The

Land of Promise (coeditor with Peter Walker) .

Aaron Chalmers

Exploring the Religion of Ancient Israel

Priest, Prophet, Sage and People

Exploring Topics in Christianity Series

”[Chalmers’s] sensitive distinctions between state

religion (involving the experts) and family religion (as

practiced by the common people) . . . will be particu-

larly helpful for those desiring to read the Old Testa-

ment in more informed ways.”

John Walton, author of The Lost World of Genesis One

”A fine user-friendly guide.”

John Goldingay, author of OId Testament Theology

Aaron Chalmers gives students a unique introduction to the

religious and social world of ancient Israel . The first part

explores the major religious offices mentioned in the Old

Testament, including prophets, priests, sages and kings . As

well as considering what these key people said and did, the

author traces the process through which one became recog-

nized as a prophet, priest or sage, and where each of these

offices were located in ancient Israel . The second part of the

book focuses on the beliefs and practices of the common

people—the group that made up the majority of ancient

Israel’s population .

Aaron Chalmers is senior lecturer in biblical studies at

Tabor Adelaide in Adelaide, Australia . He has published

many articles in scholarly journals .

A Mouth Full of Fire

The Word of God in the Words of Jeremiah

New Studies in Biblical Theology Series

“It is extraordinarily rare for a reading of a biblical

book to be simultaneously creative and convincing,

but Dr Andrew Shead has managed it.”

From the foreword by D. A. Carson

In the book of jeremiah, the vocabulary of “word” and

“words” is uniquely prevalent . The formulas marking divine

speech play an unprecedented role in giving the book its

final narrative form and theological shape . In fact, “the

word of the Lord” is arguably the book’s main character .

As a result, a distinctive and powerful word theology can be

seen to emerge from the unfolding narrative .

Shead then brings this reading of jeremiah to bear on

issues in contemporary theology, including the problem of

divine agency and the doctrine of Scripture . He concludes

by engaging jeremiah’s doctrine of the Word of God with

karl Barth . The prophet’s major contribution emerges from

his careful differentiation of “word” and “words .”

Andrew G. Shead is head of Old Testament at Moore

College, Sydney, where he lectures in Hebrew, Old Testa-

ment and music . He is the author of The Open Book and the

Sealed Book: Jeremiah 32 in Its Greek and Hebrew Recensions and

numerous articles, essays and reviews .

Michael P . knowles

The Unfolding Mystery of the Divine Name

The God of Sinai in Our Midst

“A fascinating and erudite study. Don’t be misled by

the title: Knowles’s goal is to get at the very heart

of the Bible’s presentation of God through a careful

survey of selected texts. His work will surely be of

interest to scholars and lay readers alike.”

James Kugel, author, The Bible as it Was

When Moses asked God to show him his glory, the Lord

passed before him and proclaimed his name . And from that

name cascaded a promise of grace and love, compassion and

faithfulness, forgiveness and slowness to anger . The story is

told in Exodus 34:5-7, but the resonant name reverberates

through the corridors of Scripture .

Michael knowles teases out the rich dimensions and

implications of this name by listening carefully to Exodus 34

and its biblical echoes . He particularly tunes his ear to the

spiritual meditations of later sages . In tracing the unfolding

mystery of the divine name throughout the span of Israel’s

story, he finds it startlingly resolved in the God of Sinai

becoming present in our midst .

The manifold name of God has long captivated those

who trace their spiritual ancestry to Abraham, whether they

are jewish, Christian or Muslim . This book brings this spiri-

tual quest into dialogue with Scripture and tradition, and

invites us to experience this God of the eternal name .

Michael P. Knowles is professor and George F . Hurlburt

Chair of Preaching at McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton,

Ontario . He is the author of The Folly of Preaching: Models and

Methods and We Preach Not Ourselves: Paul on Proclamation.

Stephen R . Holmes

The Quest for the Trinity

The Doctrine of God in Scripture, History and Modernity

“It is rare to write something which can be both a

textbook and a real intervention in a debate, but Steve

Holmes has pulled it off.”

Karen Kilby, University of Nottingham

The doctrine of the Trinity was settled in the fourth century,

and maintained, with only very minor disagreement or

development, by all strands of the church—Western and

Eastern, Protestant and Catholic—until the modern period .

In the twentieth century, there arose a sense that the

doctrine had been neglected and stood in need of recovery .

In The Quest for the Trinity, Holmes takes us on a remark-

able journey through 2,000 years of the Christian doctrine

of God . We witness the church’s discovery of the Trinity

from the biblical testimony, its crucial patristic develop-

ments, and medieval and Reformation continuity . We are

also confronted with the questioning of traditional dogma

during the Enlightenment, and asked to consider anew the

character of the modern Trinitarian revival .

Stephen R. Holmes (Ph .D ., king’s College London) is

senior lecturer in systematic theology at the university of

St . Andrews, Scotland . His books include Listening to the Past:

The Place of Tradition in Theology and The SCM Reader in Chris-

tian Doctrine, edited with Lindsey Hall and Murray Rae .

God and Morality

Four Views

Spectrum Multiview Books Series

Is morality dependent upon belief in God?

God and Morality: Four Views lets us listen in on a debate

on the nature of morality by four distinguished voices in

moral philosophy . Christian philosophers keith Yandell

and Mark Linville and two self-identified atheists/agnostics,

Evan Fales and Michael Ruse, clearly and honestly represent

their differing views on the nature of morality .

Important similarities and differences emerge as each

contributor states their case, receives criticism from the

others and responds . Of particular value for use as an

academic text, these four essays and responses, covering the

naturalist moral non-realist, naturalist moral realist, moral

essentialist and moral particularist views, will foster critical

thinking and contribute to the development of a well-

informed position on this very important issue .

R. Keith Loftin (Ph .D ., university of Aberdeen) is assis-

Mapping the Origins Debate

Six Models of the Beginning of Everything

“Mapping the Origins Debate offers readers a helpful

map of the confusing and noisy terrain of America’s

troubled conversation about origins. Readers will

appreciate Gerald Rau’s calm and reasoned guide to

the debate; he provides light in an area where most

books offer only heat.”

Karl Giberson, Stonehill College

Gerald Rau offers a fair-minded overview of the six predomi-

nant models used to explain the origins of the universe, of

life, of species and of humans . He aims to show the contours

of current debates both among Christians and between

Christians and nontheists .

Throughout the survey, Rau investigates the nature of

science and the differing philosophies of science operating

in the debates . He cogently identifies the role philosophical

assumptions play in determining what counts as significant

evidence and how the evidence is interpreted . In the end, he

shows not just what the differences are among the options

but why they disagree and why we shouldn’t expect any

resolution as long as the philosophical assumptions remain

fixed .

Gerald Rau (Ph .D ., Cornell) is founder and chief editor

at Professional English International, Inc ., a team providing

high-quality editing services in English academic writing,

based at National Chung Cheng university in Chiayi,

Taiwan . He was previously an adjunct professor teaching

biology courses at Wheaton College and at Trinity Christian

College in Palos Heights, Illinois .

Social Psychology in Christian Perspective

Exploring the Human Condition

Human social interaction is varied, complex and always

changing . How we perceive each other and ourselves, how

individuals interact within groups, and how groups are

structured—all these are the domain of social psychology .

Many have doubted, however, that a full-fledged social

psychology textbook can successfully be written from a

Christian perspective . Inevitably, some say, when attempting

to integrate theology and social psychology, one discipline

must suffer at the expense of the other .

Angela Sabates counters that thinking with a well-

researched social psychology textbook that makes full use of

the unique view of human persons coming down to us from

the Christian tradition . She highlights Christian contribu-

tions to a wide range of questions from the dynamics of

persuasion to the social psychology of violence .

Angela M. Sabates (Ph .D ., Northwestern university)

is associate professor of psychology at Bethel university

in St . Paul, Minnesota . She has worked professionally at

Cornerstone Family Counseling Center (Fairfax, Virginia),

Minirth-Meir and Byrd Clinic (Arlington, Virginia) and

Reston Psychological Center and Lab School of Washington

(Fairfax, Virginia, and Washington, D .C .) . Sabates was a

contributor to IVP Academic’s Christian Counseling Ethics

and is the author of a number of articles for Christian Coun-

seling Today .

Many have doubted, however, that a full-fledged social psychology textbook can successfully be written from a Christian perspective. Inevitably, some say, when attempting to integrate theology and social psychology, one discipline must suffer at the expense of the other.

Angela Sabates counters that thinking by demonstrating how these two disciplines can indeed be brought together in a fruitful way. She crisply covers key topics in social psychology, utilizing research that is well grounded in the empirical and theoretical literature, while demonstrating how a distinctively Christian approach can offer fresh ideas and understandings.

Why doesn’t our behavior always match what we say we believe?

How and when are we most likely to be persuaded?

What is the social psychology of violence?

How reliable are eyewitness testimonies?

Are racism and prejudice on the decline or are we just better at hiding them?

Sabates draws out the implications of a Christian view of human persons on these and other central subjects within the well-established framework of social psychological study.

This volume is for those looking for a core text that makes use of a Christian theological perspective to explore what the science of psychology suggests to us about the nature of human social interaction.

Angela M. Sabates (Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois) is associate professor of psychology at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. She previously taught at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida, and she has worked professionally at Cornerstone Family Counseling Center (Fairfax, Virginia), Minirth-Meir and Byrd Clinic (Arlington, Virginia) and Reston Psychological Center and Lab School of Washington (Fairfax, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.).She contributed, “The Child Patient,” to Christian Counseling Ethics (IVP), and has written other articles for Christian Counseling Today.

Theology for Better Counseling

Trinitarian Reflections for Healing and Formation

“The great risk of twenty-first-century Christian coun-

seling is becoming uprooted, neglecting the theolog-

ical essence of our work. Dr. Holeman’s book . . . is an

important corrective.”

Mark R. McMinn, coauthor, Integrative Psychotherapy

At one time, Virginia Todd Holeman confesses, she thought

familiarity with the Bible was theological training enough

for a Christian counselor . But she soon found that clients

wanted more from her than the best clinical theories and

techniques . Their pain was awakening deep questions, and

many of Holeman’s clients were coming to her office in a

state of “theological disequilibrium .”

This led Holeman to a serious study of theology that

opened up new pathways between the discipline of theo-

logical reflection and the practice of counseling . Theology

for Better Counseling is the mature fruit of that explora-

tion . Her “trinitarian reflections” encourage students and

practitioners to take the time to align their theological

commitments, therapeutic practices and professional

ethics—knowing it will have the most practical effects on

their counseling sessions .

Virginia Todd Holeman is professor of counseling at

Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, kentucky . She

previously worked at New Life Family Ministries in Akron,

Ohio . Holeman is a licensed psychologist in Ohio and a

licensed marriage and family therapist in kentucky . As a

member of the American Association for Marriage and

Family Therapy, she leads workshops and seminars around

the country .

“The final section on intergenerational Christian

formation practices is worth the price of the book.”

Dr. Kevin E. Lawson, Talbot School of Theology, Biola

University

In this comprehensive text, Holly Allen and Christine Ross

offer a complete framework for intentional intergenera-

tional Christian formation . They provide the theoretical

foundations for intergenerationality, showing how learning

and spiritual formation are better accomplished through

intergenerational contexts . It is not just elders teaching

youth; learning also takes place when adults discover fresh

insights from children . Then the authors give concrete guid-

ance for intergenerational praxis on how worship, learning,

community and service can all be achieved intergeneration-

ally . Case studies of intergenerational congregations provide

models for how a culture of intergenerationality can be

created in local churches .

Holly Catterton Allen (Ph .D ., Talbot School of

Theology) is professor of Christian ministries and director

of child and family studies at john Brown university in

Siloam Springs, Arkansas . She is a founding member of the

Society for Children’s Spirituality and the editor of Nurturing

Missional God, Missional Church

Hope for Re-evangelizing the West

“[Draws] us deeper and deeper into a thrilling vision

of the inner life of the triune missional God. . . . This is

the book we will return to again and again!”

Darrell Johnson, pastor, First Baptist Church,

Vancouver, BC

With the reality of broad-scale secularization in the West

and the cloud of insignificance that hangs over the Western

church as result, is there any hope for the re-evangelization

of the West?

In this comprehensive theology of mission, Ross Hast-

ings directs the fretful gaze of the church to the trinitarian

commission of john 20 . There we find jesus granting peace

to his disciples by breathing his Spirit on them, after which

these “sent ones” went out to participate in God’s ongoing

mission to the world—to call together the community of

shalom .

Building on the works of David Bosch, Lesslie Newbigin,

Christopher Wright and Darrell Guder, Hastings corrects

numerous dichotomies that hinder the church, including

the twin threats of isolation from and accommodation to the

surrounding culture .

Ross Hastings (Ph .D ., university of St . Andrews) is

associate professor of mission studies at Regent College,

Vancouver . He has also served as a pastor, most recently at

Peace Portal Alliance Church in British Columbia .

Commentary on John

Volume 1

Ancient Christian Texts Series

Cyril of Alexandria (ca . 378-444), one of the most brilliant

representatives of the Alexandrian theological tradition, is

best known for championing the term Theotokos (mother of

God) in opposition to Nestorius of Constantinople . Cyril’s

great Commentary on john, offered here in the Ancient

Christian Text series in two volumes, predates the Nestorian

controversy, however, and focuses its theological firepower

against Arianism . The commentary, which is addressed to

catechists, displays Cyril’s breathtaking mastery of the full

content of the Bible and his painstaking attention to detail

as he seeks to offer practical teaching on the cosmic story of

God’s salvation .

David Maxwell provides readers with the first complete

English translation of the text since the nineteenth century .

It rests on Pusey’s critical edition of the Greek text and puts

on display Cyril’s theological interpretation of Scripture

and his appeal to the patristic tradition that preceded him .

Today’s readers will find the commentary an indispensable

tool for understanding Cyril’s approach to Scripture .

The Rev. David R. Maxwell (Ph .D ., university of

Notre Dame) is associate professor of systematic theology

at Concordia Seminary in St . Louis, Missouri . His primary

research interest is in the early church, particularly the

christological controversies of the fourth through sixth

centuries .

The Rev. Joel C. Elowsky (Ph .D ., Drew university)

is associate professor of theology at Concordia university

Wisconsin . He has served as the operations manager for

the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture and has

edited the two volumes on john’s Gospel in that series . He is

also the volume editor for We Believe in the Holy Spirit in the

Ancient Christian Doctrine series . This is his second edited

volume in the Ancient Christian Texts series .

Stephen S . Smalley

The Revelation to John

A Commentary on the Greek Text of the Apocalypse

The Revelation to John by Stephen Smalley is a magisterial

interpretation of john’s Apocalypse as a grand drama, which

can only be properly understood in light of john’s Gospel

and letters and in the context of the johannine commu-

nity . As such, it offers the reader a significantly different

approach to this enigmatic text than that offered by most

contemporary commentaries . Working directly from the

Greek text, Smalley offers a masterful analysis of the critical

and literary dimensions of the Apocalypse for students and

scholars alike .

Stephen S. Smalley (Ph .D ., Cambridge) is an interna-

tionally recognized johannine scholar and dean emeritus

of Chester Cathedral, England . His previous books include

Christ and Spirit in the New Testament, John: Evangelist and Inter-

preter, Thunder and Love: John’s Revelation and John’s Community

and 1, 2, 3 John in the Word Biblical Commentary .

“A paraphrase is tricky business. Too much freedom

leads to the loss of the original text’s meaning. Too

little freedom fails to build a bridge into the world of

these dangers and warmly welcomes modern North

Americans into the active mind and lively heart of one
