In Theology of James, Peter, and Jude: Audio Lectures, top New Testament scholar Peter Davids offers a comprehensive study of the General or Catholic Epistles, which are often insufficiently covered in more general New Testament introductions, theologies, and surveys.

The controversy grows with every sale of the best-selling novel.

Discover the truth on tithing the way the New Testament teaches it. The vital truth is that a countless number of Christians tithe, but are not convinced about the practice. They just follow the tradition of the church without a sound biblical understanding of the subject of tithing. Christendom, at large, is divided on tithing. Some Christians sincerely believe tithing is too legalistic and must be limited to the dispensation of the law, while others believe that the practice is still relevant, and through tithing, they can be part of what God is doing in the world today.

Do you have a nagging feeling that something’s missing from your church experience? You’re not alone. And it’s time to discover a better way. Church-reform advocate and Bible scholar Peter DeHaan, PhD, is a strong proponent of meaningful Christian community.
