The Myth of a Christian Nation: How the Quest for Political Power is Destroying the Church Only $1.99! By Gregory A. Boyd / Zondervan Should church and state really be separated? Does the church belong in the political arena? Arguing from Scripture and history, The Myth of a Christian Nation makes a compelling case that whenever the church gets too close to any political or national ideology, it is disastrous for the church and harmful to society. Contending that the American Evangelical Church has allowed itself to be co-opted by the political right (and some by the political left), Dr. Boyd exposes how this harms the church's unique calling to build the kingdom of God. In the course of his argument, he challenges some deeply held convictions of evangelical Christians in America, such as America being "a Christian nation" and that Christians ought to be trying to "take America back for God."

Truth on Trial: The Lawsuit Motif in the Fourth Gospel Only $2.99! By Andrew T. Lincoln / Hendrickson Publishers The Gospel of John presents a Jesus who claims to tell and be the truth.

Restoration of Reason Only $2.99! By Montague Brown / Baker * When Renaissance and Enlightenment philosophers arbitrarily restricted reason, the results were disastrous for human understanding.

Galatians New International Biblical Commentary Only $1.99! By L. Ann Jervis / Hendrickson Publishers Paul's letter to the Galatian churches is among the most riveting, personal, and rich of the apostle's writings. It arose in the midst of a crisis situation in which Paul is battling with "Judaizers" over the loyalty and doctrine of the Gentile Galatians. Ann Jervis provides delightful insights into the nuances of this battle. She shows how important Paul's gospel is to him both by detailing the many ways he asserts its truthfulness and by pointing out his adamant opposition to the gospel of his adversaries.

Romans, Daily Bible Commentary By James D.G. Dunn / Hendrickson Publishers Only $2.99! Paul's letter to the Romans played a crucial role in shaping the faith of the first Christians. It presents some of the most thorough explanations of Christian theology and laid the cornerstone for the creeds and confessions of the church. From the fallen state of humankind to the limitless gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, the dual themes of God's righteousness and faithfulness strike an awe-inspiring harmony throughout the entire book. Scholar James D. G. Dunn leads readers through the New Testament's definitive theological statement---and on a life-changing journey to the heart of the New Testament's message.

Burridge, Dom Henry Wansbrough, and David Winter, together with other renowned scholars from an array of Christian traditions, provide helpful introduction, accessible explanation, and fresh meditations on individual passages.
