Ancient Wine, New Wineskins

The Lord's Supper in Old Testament Perspective

By: Jon L. Berquist

This trailblazing volume juxtaposes traditions of faith from the Old Testament with themes of communion in the early church to produce rich new understandings of the Eucharist for today's worshipers. In a vivid and inviting style, Jon Berquist moves from the elements of the meal to the people who partake to the God who invites, producing fresh perspectives all along the way. Clergy and laity alike can enlarge their interpretation of communion by including motifs from the Old Testament.

Reclaiming Her Story

The Witness of Women in the Old Testament

By: Jon L. Berquist

Their stories are as varied as the women who lived them--provocative, poignant, often painful. But they are not readily accessible to us. The voices are muted. The shapes and textures are blurred and easily distorted. Can the stories of Old Testament women of faith be reheard and reclaimed in an empowering way by women and men today? With remarkable sensitivity and a keen awareness of his own unavoidable male biases, Jon Berquist casts new light on Eve and Sarah, Lot's wife and Jephthah's daughter, Ruth and Esther, and others. This timely volume serves as a valuable resource for rediscovering the multiple witness of biblical women that has all too often gone unnoticed in the church's faith and life.

Surprises By The River

The Prophecy of Ezekiel

By: Jon L. Berquist

The book of Ezekiel begins with a strange vision, full of chariots and fire, living creatures with wings and too many faces, and a throne floating through the air. It ends with a vision of a new era for God's people - the beginning of a new manner of life with God. In between are some of the most puzzling passages in all of prophetic literature. Ezekiel's meaning for our times is not an easy one to grasp. In this insightful and highly readable study, Jon Berquist leads the reader through a lucid exploration of Ezekiel's complex visions. The result is a moving account of one prophet's wrestling with the issue of God's ever-surprising presence.
