Material culture (i.e., artifacts) and the biblical text illuminate each other in various ways, but many of us find it difficult to reach a nuanced understanding of how this process works and how archaeological discoveries should be interpreted. This book provides an irenic and balanced perspective on these issues, showing how texts and artifacts are in a fascinating “dialogue” with one another that sheds light on the meaning and importance of both. What emerges is a rich and complex picture that enlivens our understanding of the Bible’s message, increases our appreciation for the historical and cultural contexts in which it was written, and helps us be realistic about the limits of our knowledge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"21Five Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39692676202680,"sku":"9781619709119","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/0024\/7224\/files\/71M06R6n0WL._SL1500.jpg?v=1752767502"},{"product_id":"sinai-and-the-saints","title":"Sinai and the Saints: Reading Old Covenant Laws for the New Covenant Community","description":"\u003cp\u003eby James M.

The Old Testament tells the story of the beginnings of God's salvation history, and it is part of the authoritative canon of Scripture affirmed by the church. But what role should the laws of the old covenant play in the lives of those living under the new covenant? Can Christians embrace the commandment to \"love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength\" but ignore the laws regarding clean and unclean food? Some have suggested that Christians remain under the moral laws of the old covenant, while others have argued that some of the Old Testament laws—for example, the Ten Commandments—still apply to Christians. James Todd makes a bold claim by contending that as followers of Jesus Christ who stand under a new covenant, Christians are no longer subject to any of the Old Testament laws. Focusing on the laws of the Pentateuch, he then addresses the proper role and benefits of the Old Testament laws in the Christian life. With wit and insight, Todd helps Christians to understand how the laws given to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai should be read by those called to live as saints.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"21Five Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39692967149752,"sku":"9780830851621","price":32.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/0024\/7224\/files\/81-oKBSUfeL._SL1500.jpg?v=1752767493"},{"product_id":"fresh-eyes-on-famous-bible-sayings","title":"Fresh Eyes on Famous Bible Sayings: Discovering New Insights in Familiar Passages","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"What does it mean to “put on the full armor of God”?

Drawing from the best of contemporary biblical scholarship and the ancient well of Christian tradition, scholar and preacher Meghan Larissa Good helps readers consider why the Bible matters. Known for presenting complex theological ideas in accessible, engaging ways, Good delves into issues like biblical authority, literary genre, and Christ-centered hermeneutics, and calls readers beyond either knee-jerk biblicism, on the one hand, or skeptical disregard on the other. Instead, The Bible Unwrapped invites readers to faithful reading, communal discernment, and deep and transformative wonder about Scripture.\\r\\n\\r\\nJoin an honest conversation about the Bible that is spiritually alive and intellectually credible.

Licona also examines Theon's Progymnasmata, a first-century textbook that provides six techniques for paraphrasing one's sources when writing a narrative.

The editors and contributors--experienced teachers with expertise in different parts of the Bible--orient students to the whole of Scripture so that they may read the biblical text for themselves. The book first explains what Christians believe about Scripture and gives a bird's-eye survey of the whole biblical story. Chapters then introduce the story, arrangement, style, and key ideas of each division of the Old and New Testament, helping readers see how the books of the Bible make a coherent whole.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"21Five Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386807361760,"sku":"9780801049835","price":31.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/0024\/7224\/files\/m-2026-03-13T144413.295.jpg?v=1773427507"}],"url":"https:\/\/21five.ca\/collections\/bible-reference.oembed?page=2","provider":"21Five Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
