Victors not only write history: they also reproduce the texts. Bart Ehrman explores the close relationship between the social history of early Christianity and the textual tradition of the emerging New Testament, examining how early struggles between Christian "heresy" and "orthodoxy" affected the transmission of the documents over which many of the debates were waged. He makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of the social and intellectual history of early Christianity and raises intriguing questions about the relationship of readers to their texts, especially in an age when scribes could transform the documents they reproduced. This edition includes a new afterword surveying research in biblical interpretation over the past twenty years.

The Fourth Gospel both blesses and betrays. It blesses readers who engage with its message, but it may betray those who read it nonchalantly. The notion that the Fourth Gospel is easy to understand is an enduring myth. This volume takes readers on a heuristic journey to discover the Fourth Gospel’s unique theological aspects, problematic historical matters, inimitable literary features, and various interpretive approaches using an accessible format and easy-to-read language. The purpose of this publication is to enable readers to appreciate the Fourth Gospel’s wide horizon, so necessary to understand its narratives in their historical and narrative contexts. Like the prologue of the Fourth Gospel that introduces and gives perspective on how readers should approach the rest of the Gospel, similarly, this volume introduces and gives perspective to studies in the Fourth Gospel. The text is divided into three parts, which examine its independent theology and argumentation, various outstanding issues, and its interpretation respectively. This volume is suitable for a wide readership, from Bible study groups to pastors and from undergraduate to graduate students.

- How could Jesus have preexisted his conception and birth? - What does the incarnation really mean? - How important is the virgin birth? - Would it have been possible for Jesus to sin? - Could Christianity get along without the cross? - Why should I believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus? - What is Jesus doing for me now? Dr. Bruce Demarest answers these and many other questions relating to Jesus Christ, the God-Man. He shows that the truths the Bible teaches about Jesus are much more than theoretical or theological concerns. They are basic to the Christian faithÑbasic to your own faith.

Basil the Great's 'Treatise on the Holy Spirit' is a profound theological work that delves into the nature and significance of the Holy Spirit within Christian doctrine. Written in the 4th century, this book showcases Basil's deep understanding of scripture and his ability to articulate complex theological concepts with clarity and precision. Through a series of well-reasoned arguments and biblical references, Basil explores the role of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity and its implications for Christian life and worship. Basil the Great, also known as Saint Basil, was a highly influential theologian and bishop in the early Church. His extensive knowledge of scripture, coupled with his pastoral experience, informed his writing and teaching. 'Treatise on the Holy Spirit' reflects Basil's commitment to upholding orthodox Christian beliefs while engaging with contemporary theological debates. I highly recommend 'Treatise on the Holy Spirit' to readers interested in deepening their understanding of Christian theology and the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of faith. Basil the Great's insightful analysis and clear exposition make this book a valuable resource for scholars and laypeople alike.
