EVERGREEN FAITH
What does it look like to follow Jesus in a world of political chaos, social upheaval, and relentless uncertainty? In Evergreen Faith, pastor and theologian J.F. Wright turns to one of the Bible's most overlooked treasures — the seven letters to the churches in Revelation — to find out. Drawing on historical context and close literary analysis, Wright bridges the gap between the first-century church and the pressures facing Christians today. The result is an encouraging, grounded guide to sustaining vibrant faith no matter what the world throws at you.
Evergreen Faith will appeal to readers of Christian nonfiction interested in biblical theology, church history, and practical discipleship, and to anyone who has ever wondered how the early Church managed to hold on.

Biblical Critical Theory
Christopher Watkin
In Biblical Critical Theory, Watkin uses the grand narrative of Scripture to "analyze and critique the culture." He doesn't explain theology, nor does he define or defend cultural nuances. Instead, he leads his readers through broad theological concepts, using them as a framework for looking at our culture.
From the blurb: "It is not enough for Christians to explain the Bible to the culture or cultures in which we live. We must also explain the culture in which we live within the framework and categories of the Bible, revealing how the whole of the Bible sheds light on the whole of life.
If Christians want to speak with a fresh, engaging, and dynamic voice in the marketplace of ideas today, we need to mine the unique treasures of the distinctive biblical storyline."
