New Testament

Who was Quirinius? Besides Luke 2, he is not mentioned anywhere else in the Bible. How does he factor into the story?

A meditation based on a chapel given at CRTS on survival in the ministry.

True Christian ministry is compelled by the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, and true Christian ministers are therefore servants of the Word where that glory is revealed.

A meditation on Rev 4:3

As the vigorous debate over the New Perspective on Paul will only be decided by means of careful consideration of the relevant Scripture passages, this book makes a significant contribution to the discussion. Interpretations by scholars promoting the New Perspective approach are reviewed in detail and contrasted with those of scholars who are critical toward this method. A detailed analysis of the context and exegesis of Romans 4 completes the work. By suggesting a more nuanced exegesis of Romans 4, this book is able to offer a careful critique of the New Perspective while still noting the positive aspects of this approach.

When Christians hear the word “love,” they quickly think of 1 Corinthians 13, and rightly so. However, how can the Apostle Paul say that “love never ends,” when in reality we see many different situations in which love is put under stress and, at times, even seems to come to an end. God’s Word in 1 Corinthians 13:8 forms the basis for this speech by Dr. Van Vliet, given to a youth rally in Ontario in 2014.
