Rediscover the Reformations in Europe with this insightful and comprehensive new edition of a long-time favorite

Amongst the authoritative works covering the European Reformation, Carter Lindberg's The European Reformations has stood the test of time. Widely used in classrooms around the world for over twenty-five years, the first two editions of the book were enjoyed and acclaimed by students and teachers alike.

Now, the revised and updated Third Edition of The European Reformations continues the author's work to sketch the various efforts to reform received expressions of faith and their social and political effects, both historical and modern. He has expanded his coverage of women in the Reformations and added a chapter on reforms in East-Central Europe.

Comprehensively covering all of Europe, The European Reformations provides an in-depth exploration of the Reformations' effects on a wide variety of countries. The author discusses:

• The late Middle Ages and the historical context in which the Reformations gained a foothold
• Martin Luther, the theological and pastoral responses to insecurity, and the theological implications of those responses
• The implementation of reforms in Wittenberg, Germany
• Zwingli's reform program, the Reformation in Zurich, Switzerland, and the impact of medieval sacramental theology
• The Genevan Reformation and "The Most Perfect School of Christ"

Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students in courses on Reformation studies, history, religion, and theology, this edition of The European Reformations also belongs on the bookshelves of theological seminary students and anyone with a keen interest in the Reformation and its ongoing impact on faith and society.

Arnold and Beyer’s Encountering the Old Testament is one of the most recent theologically conservative, college-level surveys of the entire Old Testament. It helpfully interacts with more recent scholarship, while maintaining, with few exceptions, the traditional interpretations of the Old Testament books. It is also full of beautiful, pertinent pictures and maps.

In his book God at Work, Veith essentially explains and develops what the Apostle Paul instructs the believer in Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Veith explains that wherever we are and whatever we do as believers, we serve the Lord by serving our fellowmen. Vocation is God at work through us to accomplish His purpose in the world. Our work as believers is sanctified and significant, because what we faithfully do is in reality God-work. This book will be an encouragement and comfort for the reader.

Luther's oft-recounted life made a profound impact on his contemporaries. Some revered him; some hated him. This volume provides a brief narrative of the unfolding events that took place from his birth to a young entrepreneurial family through his turbulent career as university professor and public figure to his death while on a mission to reconcile a feuding princely family. Following parts of this narrative come "interviews" with friends and foes of his time, taken from a variety of sixteenth-century sources that present this dominating reformer and the passions that possessed both those who found him to be God's end-time prophet and those who hated all that he stood for because they believed it was destroying their world.

An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 2 Corinthians by Dane C. Ortlund

Best known for its interpersonal, emotionally raw, and pastorally distressed tone, 2 Corinthians is one of Paul’s most distinctive epistles. In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an ideal study for believers today.

In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, bestselling author Dane Ortlund explores 2 Corinthians to reveal the core arguments presented by Paul. Through clear and engaging theological examinations, Ortlund expounds two predominant themes—inaugurated eschatology and strength through weakness—and connects various other motifs traced throughout this epistle. Readers will learn how Christ’s resurrection ushered in the new realm—one where life and ministry are flipped upside down, and God’s power is intertwined with human weakness.
