In 1980 archaeologists unearthed a tomb near Jerusalem that contained a family's ossuaries inscribed with some familiar New Testament names, including Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. In 2007 the Discovery Channel produced and broadcast a documentary called The Lost Tomb of Jesus, raising interest — and controversy -- among the public and specialists alike. Could this actually be the tomb of Jesus and his family?
In January of 2008 a group of internationally renowned scholars from a broad range of disciplines met in Jerusalem to discuss that very question. Covering the archaeological facts about the discovery, Jewish burial customs during the late Second Temple period, first-century inscriptions, the Talpiot tomb, the James ossuary, the Holy Sepulcher, and more,this volume presents their expert perspectives on a much-publicized topic.

Much has been written of late about what the apostle Paul really meant when he spoke of justification by faith, not the works of the law. This short study by Stephen Westerholm carefully examines proposals on the subject by Krister Stendahl, E. P. Sanders, Heikki Raisanen, N. T. Wright, James D. G. Dunn, and Douglas A. Campbell. In doing so, Westerholm notes weaknesses in traditional understandings that have provoked the more recent proposals, but he also points out areas in which the latter fail to do justice to the apostle.
Readers of this book will gain not only a better grasp of the ongoing theological debate about justification but also a more nuanced overall understanding of Paul.

In this addition to the award-winning BECNT series, highly regarded New Testament scholar Douglas Moo offers a substantive yet accessible commentary on Galatians. With extensive research and thoughtful chapter-by-chapter exegesis, Moo leads readers through all aspects of the book of Galatians--sociological, historical, and theological--to help them better understand its meaning and relevance.
As with all BECNT volumes, this commentary features the author's detailed interaction with the Greek text and an acclaimed, user-friendly design. It admirably achieves the dual aims of the series--academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility--making it a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers.

新約學者卡森（D. A. Carson）對重要新約釋經書進行整體評價，至今已出版至第七版，加入不少新近著作。本書內容簡潔，與朗文三世（Tremper Longman III）的舊約部分為姊妹篇，相信這兩本書將會是教牧和神學院師生的必備用書。

如果我們能回到耶穌的第一世紀世界，跟祂走在黃塵滾滾的路上，躋身祂第一批猶太門徒的行列，會是怎樣的呢？如果我們知曉祂周圍的拉比對話，以此為背景聆聽祂的教導，會是怎樣的呢？

The authors of the Bible routinely employed mention of manners and customs from the ancient world in their inspired writing, fully intending that the Lord would change readers with these images. But modern readers often miss the full literal and figurative meaning of biblical imagery due to the distance in time and experience between the world of today and the world of the Bible. This fully illustrated guide aims to restore clarity and vitality to these portions of God's Word in order to help readers grasp the full meaning of Scripture. For example, the entry on anointing defines the nature of this act and the connotations associated with it before illustrating how the biblical authors use the act of anointing in their communication with us--communication that reaches its full maturity in Jesus, the Anointed One. Understanding manners and customs like anointing enriches our experience of reading the Bible--and even helps us correctly interpret it.

This colorful guide clearly and succinctly introduces modern readers to daily life in Bible times. The cultural practices of the past are fascinating on their own, but even more so as they help us grasp the full meaning of Scripture.

歷史耶穌的課題雖然在西方受到相當的重視，然而在華人信徒群體中卻鮮有接觸；即或在神學院的課程中，一般也沒有開設相關的科目，更遑論相關的中文書籍。作者消化了近代學術研究成果，以深入淺出的方式與讀者分享。本書先論述歷史耶穌與信仰基督之分別，然後詳列歷代重要學者對此課題之觀點，以及剖析耶穌與保羅對信仰解說之異同，最後探究歷史耶穌之確定史實。

聖經中有不少女性人物，已婚的，單身的；富裕的，貧窮的；年老的，年輕的；健康的，患病的；有家庭主婦，有職業女性；有猶太人，有外邦人⋯⋯她們生活於不同的時代、不同的社會環境，但在神的救贖計劃中，都佔有獨特的位置。你認識她們嗎？你可知道，她們的人生跟你我有甚麼關係？這本書，是作者特地為活在二十一世紀的姊妹而寫的，為的是要給同行天路的肢體打氣，引領讀者從古聖徒身上擷取今天生活的動力。

Spanning early Christian writings from the Gospel of Mark to the Acts of John, this book by Vernon Robbins explores the various ways early Christians explained their understanding of the special nature of Jesus beyond the canonical Gospels.
Who Do People Say I Am? shows how second-and third-century Christian authors of additional Gospels and Gospel-like writings expanded and elaborated on Jesus’ divinity in the context of his earthly existence. According to Robbins, these Christian authors thought that the New Testament Gospel writers could and should have emphasized the divinity of Jesus more than they did.
