7 Books That Rocked the Church, by Daniel Crane, explores controversial books throughout history that the Christian church has famously disavowed—and asks the question why?

Engagingly written and thoughtfully researched, this book explores what the “fuss” was all about with books ranging in date from the second century after Christ to more contemporary authors. Books by Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilei, and many others profoundly upset the church by calling into question foundational Christian doctrines or beliefs. Most of the books discussed here were banned at some time by Christian authorities.

The author’s aim is to challenge Christians to respond critically but open-mindedly to books that oppose a Christian worldview. Readers of 7 Books That Rocked the Church will come away better equipped to answer the charge that the church is intolerant of competing ideas. They will also develop the ability to interact with new and possibly dangerous ideas that comport with Jesus’ admonition to be wise as serpents but gentle as doves. This book also includes discussion questions for further study.

1. Valentinus the Gnostic: Who Doesn’t Love a Conspiracy Theory? (Think The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown)

2. Galileo Galilei: A Scandal of Religion, Science, and Politics3. Voltaire’s Candide, Enlightenment Rationalism, and the

Church’s Thin Skin4. Darwin’s Origin of Species: The Many Faces of Evolutionary

Theory5. Marx’s Communist Manifesto: The Red Bull of the Masses6. Sigmund Freud’s Ego7. Joseph Campbell: Christianity as an (Almost) Enlightened

Myth (A book that strongly influenced George Lucas’s Star Wars films)

Christianity in the Roman Empire is a topical and biographical introduction to Christianity before Constantine. While its focus is the historical development of the proto-orthodox community, Robert Winn aims to bridge the gap between contemporary Christians and those who lived in the Roman Empire. To do this, his chapters discuss particular topics such as prayer, biblical interpretation, worship, and persecution, as well as prominent and controversial individuals such as Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, Melito of Sardis, and Tertullian. Part One addresses the world of the apostolic fathers, Part Two addresses hostility to Christianity and the response of Christians to this antagonism, and Part Three addresses doctrinal and communal issues of the third century.

The book will pique readers’ interest and provide them with a deeper appreciation for the religious identity of early Christians in the Roman Empire: what they believed and how they lived.

Part One: Christianity in the Year 100 1. Christians, Jews, and Romans in the First Century 2. New Way of Life: Didache and the Epistle of Barnabas3. Clement of Rome and the Church of Corinth 4. Ignatius of Antioch and True Christianity 5. Worship and Church Order in the Year 100

Part Two: Christianity in a Hostile World (100–250)6. Celsus, a Critic of Christianity 7. Justin Martyr, a Defender of Christianity 8. The Persecution of Christians9. The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity 10. Cyprian of Carthage and the Unity of the Church

Part Three: Faith and Practice in the Third Century11. Reading the Bible with Early Christians12. Irenaeus of Lyons and True Christianity13. Tertullian of Carthage and True Christianity14. Prayer and the Spiritual Life of Early Christians15. Eusebius of Caesarea: After Two Hundred Years

How should Christians address specific problems, controversies, and crises in communication today? By looking at influential Christian thinkers throughout history, we can identify wisdom that enriches us today in practical ways.

Words and Witnesses explores various influential Christian thinkers and theologians from across church history in order to expand our contemporary conversations in communication studies and media theory. Individual chapters written by contributing scholars focus on major Christian thinkers, starting with Athanasius, St. Augustine, and John Chrysostom, moving through the Middle Ages to address figures such as Anselm, Nicholas of Cusa, Teresa of Lisieux, and arriving in the present with reflections on the work of John Howard Yoder, C. S. Lewis, Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Kuyper, and Desmond Tutu, among others.

Each chapter delves into how the contemporary church, and scholars of media, can turn to these influential Christian thinkers as resources for addressing specific problems in communication today. By analyzing church practices, doctrine, and biblical texts this book provides the church with resources and inspiration to communicate in distinctly Christian ways.

Robert H. Woods, Jr., is Professor of Communication at Spring Arbor University, where he teaches in the MA program. He holds a PhD in Communication from Regent University, Virginia, and is licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Although the 500th anniversary celebration of the Reformation of 1517 is over, ministry in the church continues. In having looked to the past, we now focus on the present to see how the church can move forward with this strong historical base. Particularly, how do the solas of the Reformation apply as we look at Scripture and work within the church to nurture the laity in their practice of faith?

This was the discussion at a recent conference, “Reformation Celebration,” at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. This book (written and edited by Gordon-Conwell professors) is the result of that conference, with multidiscipline essays ranging from Luther on Scripture, grace, and Christ to the implication today of the Christology of Athanasius and Calvin. Some of the important questions addressed—historically, theologically, and sociologically—include:

• What does sola scriptura (scripture alone) have to say about spiritual formation?

• What does Bible translation have to do with Christian mission? • How do grace and works compare in Islam and Christianity? • In what ways does sola gratia (grace alone) affect Christian

counseling? • How are social ethics shaped by sola gratia? • How is sola fide (faith alone) the foundation for ministry? • In what way is solus Christus (Christ alone) related to Christian

wholeness and maturity?

Gordon L. Isaac is the Berkshire Associate Professor of Advent Christian Studies at Gordon-Conwell. He is also the coeditor of Great Awakenings: Historical Perspectives for Today (Hendrickson, 2016), and the author of Prayer, Meditation, and Spiritual Trial: Luther’s Account of Life in the Spirit (Hendrickson, 2017).Editor currently resides in Wenham, Massachusetts.

Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck (1854–1921) is widely celebrated as one of the top theologians in the Reformed tradition, and through the ongoing labor of translation teams, editors, and publishers, his vast writings are being offered anew to English-only readers.

This book brings the groundbreaking framework of Bavinck‘s “organic motif” to the fore in one of Bavinck‘s most influential works. In the best sense of the title, the modern, yet orthodox Bavinck offers readers here both a philosophy of revelation and a philosophy of revelation. Philosophy of Revelation was originally presented by Bavinck at the Stone Lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1908, that by itself deserves being published. This classic text is updated and annotated and may function as a supreme entry into the mind of Bavinck. Bavinck saw theology as the task of “thinking God‘s thoughts after him and tracing their unity.” This project can be seen as “thinking Bavinck‘s thoughts after him and tracing their unity.”

Chapters include:• The Idea of a Philosophy of Revelation • Revelation and Philosophy • Revelation and Nature • Revelation and History • Revelation and Religion • Revelation and Christianity • Revelation and Religious Experience • Revelation and Culture • Revelation and the Future

Why did the biblical writers choose the specific words they did? In order to explore this question, this book investigates the use of literary-stylistic metathesis in the Hebrew Bible.

By way of introduction, the book first discusses the related phenomena of linguistic metathesis, in which letters or sounds are unintentionally inverted during the historical development of a language, and textual metathesis, in which the letters of a word are accidentally inverted during the transmission of a text. The discussion then moves on to the widespread use of literary-stylistic metathesis in the Hebrew Bible, in which two or more words that use the same letters in opposite orders are deliberately juxtaposed within a sentence. This device appears in various literary genres within the Bible and in diverse forms, which demonstrates that a number of biblical authors and editors used it as a compositional device, for a variety of purposes: whether for literary, aesthetic, or rhetorical effect; to make a theological or exegetical point; to connect or contrast particular words with one another; or to emphasize a specific viewpoint.

The book also demonstrates that literary metathesis is not limited to the Hebrew Bible but that it also appears in post-biblical Jewish Hebrew compositions, such as The Wisdom of Ben Sira and the rabbinic literature. This leads to the conclusion that the use of this literary tool by the rabbis in the midrashic literature is not a late, artificial approach to Scripture but rather one that has deep roots in the biblical texts themselves and that continued to develop in the writings of the Second Temple period and in later Jewish writings.

Isaac Kalimi is Gutenberg Research Professor in Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies and History of Ancient Israel, and a fellow of the Gutenberg Forschungskolleg, at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. He has published numerous books and articles in biblical studies, ancient Israelite history and historiography, and rabbinic literature and thought.

Septuaginta: A Reader’s Edition offers the complete text of the Greek Old Testament as it appears in the Rahlfs-Hanhart revised Septuaginta, laid out in a clear and readable format. All deuterocanonical books are included, as well as all double-texts, which are presented on facing pages for easy textual comparison. In order to facilitate natural and seamless reading of the text, every word occurring 100 times or fewer in the Rahlfs-Hanhart text (excluding proper names)—as well as every word that occurs more than 100 times in the Rahlfs-Hanhart text but fewer than 30 times in the Greek New Testament—is accompanied by a footnote that provides a contextual gloss for the word and (for verbs only) full parsing. Additionally, an appendix provides a complete alphabetized list of common vocabulary (namely, all the words that are not accompanied by a footnote), with glosses and (as applicable) comparison of a word’s usage in the Septuagint to its usage in the New Testament.

All of these combined features will make Septuaginta: A Reader’s Edition an indispensable resource for biblical scholars and an excellent tool for improving one’s comprehension of the Greek language.

In addition to the attractive and high-quality binding, each volume will include two ribbon markers.

Understanding the Twelve Tribes: Boundaries & Surrounding Nations is an in-depth, profusely illustrated treatment of the territories and boundaries of the twelve tribes of Israel as outlined in the Hebrew Bible, as well as those of their ancient neighbors.

It is quite challenging, if not impossible, to visualize the placement of the twelve tribes of Israel from reading the biblical accounts alone, which is why Understanding the Twelve Tribes is such a welcome addition to Carta’s library of scholarly and biblical reference materials. Understanding the Twelve Tribes is colorful, accessible, and affordable, making it a must-have resource for any reader of the Bible!

Features:• Shows how boundaries between the tribes and other nations

follow the natural lines of mountains and their peaks, valleys, watercourses, and other prominent relief features.

• Discusses the unique features of some of the Israelite tribes, as well as the settlements and character of the neighboring peoples—Egypt, Edom, Arabia, Uz, Midian, Amalek, and Kedem—all of whom constructed numerous border fortresses along their borders with Israel.

• Fully illustrated.

Menashe Har-El (1917–2014), emeritus Professor of Biblical Geography at Tel Aviv University, was a renowned scholar of the ancient geography and history of Israel and the Mideast. He taught at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and published thirteen books on topics related to the land of Israel, four of which have received awards. His books published by Carta include Landscape, Nature and Man in the Bible: Sites and Events in the Old Testament and, with Paul H. Wright, Understanding the Geography of the Bible.

The Christmas Cradle board and picture books by Meadow Rue Merrill are engaging illustrated books for children one to four years old and four to seven years old, respectively.

Every Christmas Eve, Aunt Jenny and Uncle Gerry hold a huge Christmas party at their home, Lantern Hill Farm. Molly gets to help get ready for the party. Disaster strikes when the furnace breaks, and the party has to move from the farmhouse to the barn. With help from cousins Jacob and Sammy and neighbor Rosa, the children clean up the barn and decorate cookies, while discovering the story of the Christmas cradle. This is a family tradition in which Aunt Jenny encourages the children to give gifts to Jesus by welcoming him in, sharing the good news with others, and spreading his love through service to others.

Meadow Rue Merrill is an award-winning journalist with two decades of published writing experience. She recently published a memoir about her family called Redeeming Ruth (Hendrickson Publishers, 2017). She also regularly contributed to “Motherlode,” a popular column of the New York Times. She began reporting for the Times Record, a daily newspaper in Brunswick, Maine, and spent the following eight years corresponding for the Boston Globe. Most recently she has written for Harvard University. She has regular columns with the Portland Press Herald, Maine’s largest newspaper, and Down East magazine. Author currently resides in Richmond, Maine.

Holidays are an opportunity for celebration and a time to create family traditions and memories. Yet often the emphasis shifts from the reason for the holiday to making the children the center of the celebration. The Lantern Hill Farm series of picture books and board books is designed to provide parents and grandparents entertaining stories with easy-to-recreate family activities that allow the child to be part of the holiday but not the center of it.

Drew Krevi (Illustrator of Lantern Hill Farm series, including The Christmas Cradle)Drew has twelve years of experience as a concept artist, animator, game designer, and UI designer. He has worked for Bob Olszewski Studios doing Disney product development as well as ReThink Attractions doing concept art for theme-park development that featured Cartoon Network and Marvel Comics characters.
