The Letter to the Hebrews

A Commentary for Preaching, Teaching, and Bible Study

By: Jon C. Laansma

The New Testament book of Hebrews offers some of the most memorable passages of Scripture on perseverance, faith, rest, the word of God, angels, divine discipline, salvation, the city of God, and Christ, Son and High Priest. Much of its text has spoken with remarkable directness to peoples of all nations down through the centuries. At other points it has remained a difficult argument, even, so it is said, a riddle. This is a commentary for those who want to follow what this book says--follow it both in terms of understanding it and living it. The book is divided into thirty-seven units and each unit is discussed in terms of literary context, background, wording, themes, and possible lines for teaching the text. The commentary is written for any adult reader, whether they already align with Hebrews' faith or are merely curious. It is a serious discussion, but also direct, to the point, and uncluttered by qualifications and technicalities. Whether you are self-studying or preparing to teach or lead discussion, this book is prepared for you.

Games, Diversions & Perl Culture

Best of the Perl Journal

By: Jon Orwant

The Perl Journal (TPJ) did something most print journals aspire to, but few succeed. Within a remarkable short time, TPJ acquired a cult-following and became the voice of the Perl community. Every serious Perl programmer subscribed to it, and every notable Perl guru jumped at the opportunity to write for it. Back issues were swapped like trading cards. No longer in print format, TPJ remains the quintessential spirit of Perl--a publication for and by Perl programmers who see fun and beauty in an admittedly quirky little language.Games, Diversions, and Perl Culture is the third volume of The Best of the Perl Journal, compiled and re-edited by the original editor and publisher of The Perl Journal, Jon Orwant. In this series, we've taken the very best (and still relevant) articles published in TPJ over its 5 years of publication and immortalized them into three volumes.The 47 articles included in this volume are simply some of the best Perl articles ever written on the subjects of games, diversions, and the unique culture of this close-knit community, by some of the best Perl authors and coders. Games, Diversions & Perl Culture focuses on entertaining topics that make Perl users such fanatics about the language. You'll find all of the playful features TPJ offered over the years, including the Obfuscated Perl Contests, Perl Quiz Shows, humor articles, and renowned one-line recipes. The book also contains a panoply of quirky applications of Perl, including genetic algorithms, home automation, music programming, and an entire section on natural language processing.This anthology is an unmatched compendium of Perl lore.

Religion, Politics, and Reclaiming the Soul of Christianity

A Spiritual Imperative for Our Time and Our Nation

By: Jon Canas

God’s unconditional love is the quintessential element, the heart and soul of the teachings of Jesus Christ. The rise of modern American Christian fundamentalism, with its narrowly defined moralism and zeal to impose its restrictive views on all Americans, attacks our country’s democracy. Today’s Christian fundamentalists energize exclusionary right-wing politics, embolden xenophobia, and in the process abandon the very roots of their own religious tradition. The author takes a comprehensive look at the origins, characters, and spiritual essence that shaped Christianity. In three sweeping sections, he traces the evolution of Christian dogma and its use for political purpose, the rise in consciousness from Law to Grace, the derailment of the authentic “Good News” message of Jesus Christ, and finally the necessity for our actions as modern Christians to be coherent with our beliefs. His book is an urgent invitation to reclaim and return the soul of Christianity to its loving heart.

The Generations of Heaven and Earth

Adam, the Ancient World, and Biblical Theology

By: Jon Garvey

The Generations of Heaven and Earth

Adam, the Ancient World, and Biblical Theology

By: Jon Garvey

New science has surprised many by showing, contrary to received wisdom, that a real Adam and Eve could have lived amongst other humans in historical times and yet be the ancestors of every living person, as traditional Christianity has always taught. This theory was first published in book form in 2019, but Jon Garvey, familiar with it from its early days, believes it helps confirm the Christian account of reality by giving it a solid foundation in science and history. In this book he argues that the long existence of other people before and alongside Adam was in all likelihood known to the Bible's original authors. This conclusion helps build a compelling biblical "big story" of a new kind of created order initially frustrated by Adam's failure, but finally accomplished in Christ. This "new creation" theme complements that of the "old creation" covered in his first book, God's Good Earth. The two together contribute to a unified, and fully orthodox, understanding of the overall message of the Bible.

Revelation

The Soul Story

By: Jon Robinson

Do the questions you have about the book of Revelation never seem to be answered? Have other studies always failed to give you the information you were hoping to find? Author and student of prophecy Jon Robinson felt that way as well. With prayer, study, and insight, Jon put together this detailed examination of the final book of the Bible as a personal roadmap through the prophecies. Now he is releasing those cherished notes. In Revelation: The Soul Story, Jon has put together an outline and verse-by-verse study of one of the most mysterious books in the Bible. Many years ago, Jon came to the realization that there was something about the Book of Revelation that was not being addressed. With that in mind, and with years of further study, he wrote down the beautiful narrative he sees playing out in this apocalyptic book of the Bible. What he saw was the journey of man's soul, from the time of the Fall to the second coming of Christ, written out in elegant and glorious symbolisms. Jon's insight and scriptural knowledge come to the fore with this unique and in-depth investigation of the final book of the Bible. Join him as he expounds and analyzes some of the most difficult passages in Scripture, and see why he calls it The Soul Story.

Volume 1, Tome I: Kierkegaard and the Bible - The Old Testament

By: Jon Stewart

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Volume 1, Tome I: Kierkegaard and the Bible - The Old Testament

By: Jon Stewart

Exploring Kierkegaard's complex use of the Bible, the essays in this volume use source-critical research and tools ranging from literary criticism to theology and biblical studies, to situate Kierkegaard's appropriation of the biblical material in his cultural and intellectual context. The contributors seek to identify the possible sources that may have influenced Kierkegaard's understanding and employment of Scripture, and to describe the debates about the Bible that may have shaped, perhaps indirectly, his attitudes toward Scripture. They also pay close attention to Kierkegaard's actual hermeneutic practice, analyzing the implicit interpretive moves that he makes as well as his more explicit statements about the significance of various biblical passages. This close reading of Kierkegaard's texts elucidates the unique and sometimes odd features of his frequent appeals to Scripture. This volume in the series devotes one tome to the Old Testament and a second tome to the New Testament. Tome I considers the canonically disputed literature of the Apocrypha. Although Kierkegaard certainly cited the Old Testament much less frequently than he did the New, passages and themes from the Old Testament do occupy a position of startling importance in his writings. Old Testament characters such as Abraham and Job often play crucial and even decisive roles in his texts. Snatches of Old Testament wisdom figure prominently in his edifying literature. The vocabulary and cadences of the Psalms saturate his expression of the range of human passions from joy to despair. The essays in this first tome seek to elucidate the crucial rhetorical uses to which he put key passages from the Old Testament, the sources that influenced him to do this, and his reasons for doing so.

Hunger Study Guide

By: Jon L Dybdahl,J D Croft

Are you looking for a study guide to help you, your small group, or your whole church understand and practice spiritual disciplines? If so, this is the book for you. It is based on Dr. Jon L. Dybdahl's book Hunger: Satisfying the Longing of Your Soul. Each chapter contains goals, a story from scripture providing background, and activities to help develop your spiritual life. "Human hunger for God is intense and universal. Even if suppressed or denied, it cries out silently from the depths. Such hunger is not a wish to know about God, but rather a quest to encounter Him. People want to touch, experience, and feel the divine - not just discover facets about God." - Dr. Jon L. Dybdahl Humans have tried since the beginning of their creation to fill the hunger, or empty space, inside of themselves with all that they can find on their own. The desire for money, homes, cars, and various material possessions continues to fill our credit cards without filling our longing for "something." Dr. Jon Dybdahl brings his passion for teaching into the second edition of his successful book, Hunger: Satisfying the Longing of your Soul, and from there into this study guide. Whether you are a seminary professor, a small group leader with 3-12 students or someone who seeks to move closer in your relationship to God, your Savior and Creator, you will find entrees that are biblically grounded to study and that are savory and healthy for your spiritual body.

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.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Revelation of Jesus Christ

A Disciple's Commentary

By: Jon Scott Birch

“The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Rev 19:10) and a prophetic perspective promotes purpose. Yet in a world swiftly growing callous, true purpose and meaning are fading. Many of Jesus’ disciples today have “lost their first love,” which is Jesus himself (Rev 2:4). And too many souls overall miss the wonder, inspiration, and comfort gained by those who would endeavor toward fuller comprehension of the book of Revelation: “Blessed are they who read and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near” (Rev 1:3). Neglect of the Holy Spirit, slothfulness, fear, and the ongoing confusion generated by competing interpretations and bad theology are the primary obstacles between an individual and the liberation to be had by reading the last book of the Bible. We must not forget that while the apostle John wrote the book of Revelation, its author is Jesus Christ, and he is not an author of confusion but of peace (1 Cor 14:33). This commentary presents a practical, discipleship-based perspective toward following Jesus into the very heart of his Revelation. So as the end of this clamorous age approaches, may we truly hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches!

A Journey into Prophetic Worship. Book 1: Old Testament

By: Jon Wesley Hall

A Journey into Prophetic Worship is an opportunity to discover our true identities as worshippers. Through the comprehensive study of the scriptures, the author clearly lays out the composites of prophecy and worship and where they converge to produce prophetic worship. Part 1 dispels the myth that Old Testament worship was devoid of Holy Spirit inspiration and was a lot of religious observances, whereas part 2 deals with the myth that prophecy is not for the New Testament believer. If you are desiring more of the leading of the Holy Spirit in your worship, but want to be convinced of its scriptural precedence then this book is for you! Jesus is saying: 'Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.' (John 4:23) Will you answer this call? Will you come with me on a journey into Prophetic Worship?

Protest & Praise

Sacred Music of Black Religion

By: Jon Michael Spencer

Here is a skillful tracing of two tracks in the evolution of musical genres that have evolved from black religion. Songs of protest developed from the spiritual through social-gospel hymnody to culminate in songs of the civil-rights movement and the blues. Born in rebellion, they envision the Kingdom of God.Songs of praise, by contrast, express adoration. Beginning with the "ring-shout," Spencer follows the history of intoned declamation through the tongue song, Holiness-Pentecostal music, and the chanted sermon of the black preacher. Spencer's approach, termed theomusicology, unlocks the wealth of African-American sacred music with a theological key. The result is a fascinating account of a people's struggle with God in history.

Inhabiting the Church

Biblical Wisdom for a New Monasticism

By: Jon R. Stock,Tim Otto,Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

If the church is more than just a building, what could it mean to live in it--to inhabit it as a way of life? From their location in new monastic communities, Otto, Stock, and Wilson-Hartgrove ask what the church can learn from St. Benedict's vows of conversion, obedience, and stability about how to live as the people of God in the world. In storytelling and serious engagement with Scripture, old wisdom breathes life into a new monasticism. But, like all monastic wisdom, these reflections are not just for monks. They speak directly to the challenge of being the church in America today and the good news Christ offers for the whole world.

Jean Toomer's adamant stance against racism and his call for a raceless society were far more complex than the average reader of works from the Harlem Renaissance might believe. In To Make a New Race Jon Woodson explores the intense influence of Greek-born mystic G. I. Gurdjieff on the thinking of Toomer and his coterie--Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larson, George Schuyler, Wallace Thurman--and, through them, the mystic's influence on many of the notables in African American literature. Gurdjieff, born of poor Greco-Armenian parents on the Russo-Turkish frontier, espoused the theory that man is asleep and in prison unless he strains against the major burdens of life, especially those of identification, like race. Toomer, whose novel Cane became an inspiration to many later Harlem Renaissance writers, traveled to France and labored at Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. Later, the writer became one of the primary followers approved to teach Gurdjieff's philosophy in the United States. Woodson's is the first study of Gurdjieff, Toomer, and the Harlem Renaissance to look beyond contemporary portrayals of the mystic in order to judge his influence. Scouring correspondence, manuscripts, and published texts, Woodson finds the direct links in which Gurdjieff through Toomer played a major role in the development of "objective literature." He discovers both coded and explicit ways in which Gurdjieff's philosophy shaped the world views of writers well into the 1960s. Moreover Woodson reinforces the extensive contribution Toomer and other African-American writers with all their international influences made to the American cultural scene. Jon Woodson, an associate professor of English at Howard University in Washington, D.C., is a contributor to the collection, Black American Poets Between Worlds, 1940-1960. He has published articles in African American Review and other journals.

Establishing the Remnant Church in France

Calvin’s Lectures on the Minor Prophets, 1556-1559

By: Jon Balserak

Calvin lectured on the Minor Prophets from 1555/6 to 1559, beginning at the time of the implementation of the Peace of Augsburg. He saw the era in which he lived – particularly the period following the calling of the Council of Trent (1545) and the enforcing of the Augsburg Interim (1548) – as like that of Elijah; a fundamentally troubled era for the church. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of these lectures, their context, audience, and aims. It argues that they were integral not simply to his training of ministers and missionaries for France but to Calvin’s endeavors to call the faithful remnant out of a corrupt Roman Church and to re-establish the Christian Church in France (and Europe).

Five Minutes to Eternity

By: Jon Smith

Surely there was a village nearby. “Stop!” Without warning three armed men suddenly appeared in front of the two young Lifestory Tellers. “Who are you and what are you doing here?” “We are teachers sir,” Asgat replied, humbly but clearly. “We don’t want any teachers. Go away, or we will kill you!” “Wait,” Asgat said. “If you have children we have a story for them.” “What kind of story?” “A beautiful story about God.” All was quiet as the elders stared at the young men. “You may come to our school and tell the children the story, but then you must leave immediately after.” Asgat and Alifaz smiled and gave a customary greeting. Soon many households in this village had heard about Jesus for the first time and said yes to following Him. God did several miracles that day in that large village. But how did the gospel get to this remote part of the Himalayas? Jerri and I had spent years praying, fasting and struggling to share God’s love with the people group to whom we had been sent. But we were only seeing a few come to faith each month, and they weren’t winning others. Finally the Lord had mercy, and showed us how the gospel could multiply in our field just as it did in the book of Acts.
