Today, Roberta talks to Daniel Schwabauer about his new book The God of Story: Discovering the Narrative of Scripture Through the Language of Storytelling, available from Baker Books publishers.Many of us have been taught to read Scripture as a collection of information that needs to be categorized, systematized, and analyzed verse by verse, concept by concept. But the Bible isn't a jigsaw puzzle, and it wasn't written in just Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It was also written in the language of story. And as with every good story, we get to meet colorful characters, unravel mysteries, and see the world from a different point of view. It all makes more sense when understood from the perspective of storytelling.In The God of Story, Daniel Schwabauer explores the narrative principles of theme, context, characterization, voice, and plot as a lens for understanding the cosmic story arc of God's relationship to humanity. By including creative retellings of biblical stories, he demonstrates how to engage Scripture with imagination.For a fresh approach to reading the Bible and discovering how its stories connect to your own, start by learning to see God as the master storyteller.Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.

Today, Roberta talks to Charles Quarles about his book New Testament Textual Criticism for the 21st Century: A Practical Guide, available from Hendrickson publishers.A guide to New Testament textual criticism that introduces students to the methods currently used by the most respected specialists in the field.While there are many introductions to twentieth-century New Testament textual criticism, scholars and students need a twenty-first-century introduction to the praxis of New Testament textual criticism that refines and replaces some elements of the traditional approach in keeping with recent advancements in the discipline. Methodologies known to be deficient are still being taught, and even New Testament commentators apply outdated and problematic methods in their evaluation of textual variants. This new introduction guides readers in the practice of a more refined, reasoned eclecticism to identify the original reading of the New Testament text. Readers will learn to identify variant readings and the witnesses in support of them from the apparatuses in the major editions of the Greek New Testament.New Testament Textual Criticism for the 21st Century includes several examples and exercises that guide students in applying critical-thinking skills to specific variant units. The goal throughout is to move from abstract discussion to concrete examples to offer students the “picture worth a thousand words.” Most importantly, the book demonstrates how new tools and findings generally discussed only in scholarly literature are changing the text of the most respected editions of the Greek New Testament and can aid researchers in their study of manuscripts.Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.

Today, Roberta talks to Rebecca Corwin about her new book Arise and Eat!: How God Reveals Himself through Food, available from Christian Faith publishers.Everyone eats. In one form or another, regardless of circumstance, we all need food. We spend much of our time procuring, preparing, and consuming it because it satisfies our hunger, provides necessary nutrients, or simply because it tastes good. It also is fun to share with others. Because food plays such a central role in our lives, God often uses it to reveal Himself to us. He uses it to remind us that only He can truly satisfy our deep spiritual hunger. He also uses it to remind us that He is near, and He longs to share sweet fellowship with us. Using a range of foods from grains to greens, milk to meat, and sweets to seasonings, God reaches down into our kitchens, cultures, and customs to show us who He is. When we are weary and discouraged, He reveals His strength and encouragement. When we are full of joy, He joins us in celebration. Throughout our daily lives, He uses food to reveal His hope, His love, His mercy, and the new, abundant spiritual life that can be ours through faith in His Son Jesus Christ. God invites us to walk with Him in His garden and to join Him at His table. He invites us to arise and eat! Arise and Eat! is a fascinating journey from ancient roasting pits to modern ovens, exploring God's biblical revelation of Himself through food.

Today, Roberta talks to Dave Boden about his new book Parallel Faith: Walking alongside Others on Their Journey to Christ, available from Hendrickson Publishers.Are you ready to discover how to walk alongside others on their journey to Christ? Learn how to walk parallel with others with purpose and help them discover Jesus from their starting point, not yours.Everyone takes little steps toward Jesus before they can take big steps with and for him. This is a process that starts long before people ever enter a church building, especially as the gap between the church and culture grows ever wider. This book will help equip you to handle the early stages of discipling others with care, address the stumbling blocks that hold them back, as well as redefine how you see your own identity as an ambassador of Christ.You will learn how to be better prepared to answer questions about your faith and how to share the gospel in a way that resonates with other people and their culture. There are many ways we can walk with others and point them to Jesus: We can use our creativity to create curiosity, and hospitality can mean so much more than a warm welcome. If we teach like Jesus, then we will use everyday moments to impart Scripture, share stories, and offer next steps to those with whom we’re walking alongside.Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.

Today, guest host Luke Taylor talks to Jonathan Williams about his book The Edomite Enigma: Esau, His Descendants and Romans 9:10-13, available from WGS publishers.When we read Paul’s words in Romans 9:13, that God loved Jacob and hated Esau, what are we to make of it? While no one would question that God loved Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, did God hate Esau who was also a son of Isaac and Abraham’s grandson? If he did, why? But let’s back up a couple of verses. There’s more intrigue. When we read in 9:11 that God chose Jacob and not Esau, that his choice was not based on Jacob’s or Esau’s behavior (good or bad), and that the choice was made before either was born, what are we to make of that?In The Edomite Enigma, Jonathan Williams provides a fresh approach by exploring the historical background of Paul's words. He believes a proper interpretation of Romans 9:10-13 comes by examining the history of Jacob and Esau, the history of Israel and Edom, the prophetic and extra-canonical statements about Edom, and the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15. An examination of this history puts the interpreter in the correct frame of mind to approach the verses with the background that informed Paul rather than a centuries-later debates from various systematic theologies.Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.
