But Watson, never one for the supernatural, decides to fina...

The first third of the book lays the foundation for answering the question by giving clear and concise criteria for identifying places where 1 Pet...

In 1 Peter, Timothy Miller and Bryan Murawski demonstrate how the activity of the triune God provides both encouragement and exhortation to the first-century readers of 1 Peter. The God who created and called believers has both redeemed them and empowered them to stand firm in the face of the world's rejection. Such theological realities apply also to today's believers, those elect of God yet exiles in the world. Miller and Murawski infuse tex...

There are those who insist that Jesus never existed, that he was the sole product of a first century imagination, or was created as the result of a Roman Caesar's conspiracy. All it takes to maintain such a position is to ignore written history. The Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus (56 CE - 120 CE) wrote about a man called Christ who was executed in Tiberius' reign by the governor of Judaea, Pontius Pilate. The Jewish historian Joseph...
