Questions and Rhetoric in the Greek New Testament: An Essential Reference Resource for Exegesis
by Douglas EstesWhile there are almost 1000 questions in the Greek New Testament, many commentators, pastors, and students skip over the questions for more ‘theological’ verses or worse they convert questions into statements to mine them for what they are saying theologically. However, this is not the way questions in the Greek New Testament work, and it overlooks the rhetorical importance of questions and how they were used in the ancient world. Questions and Rhetoric in the Greek New Testament is a helpful and thorough examination of questions in the Greek New Testament, seen from the standpoint of grammatical, semantic, and linguistic analysis, with special emphasis on their rhetorical effects. It includes charts, tools, and lists that explain and categorize the almost 1000 questions in the Greek New Testament. Thus, the user is able to go to the section in the book dealing with the type of question they are studying and find the exegetical parameters needed to understand that question. Questions and Rhetoric in the Greek New Testament offers vibrant examples of all the major categories of questions to aid the reader in grasping how questions work in the Greek New Testament. Special emphasis is given to the way questions persuade and influence readers of the Greek New Testament.

Questions of Context: Reading a Century of German Mission Theology (Missiological Engagements)
by Henning Wrogemann John G. FlettThe gospel is for every tribe, tongue, and nation (Revelation 7:9), but there is no single biblical or theological model for the relationship between the gospel and these diverse cultures. Indeed, every suggested approach carries its own range of philosophical and theological commitments that all too often remain unexamined. Contextualization is fraught with challenges—yet wrestling with questions of context is essential for how we understand mission, theology, and the embodiment of the Christian faith. German missiology has engaged these questions in a variety of ways that can both inform and critique Anglo-American traditions. In this compilation and analysis, John Flett and Henning Wrogemann translate and comment on a core thread of German missiological works, explaining both their historical and current significance. Drawn from journals and books across a century of academic discourse, these classic writings trace developments from Gustav Warneck, the father of contemporary missiology, through key thinkers such as Karl Hartenstein, who coined the term missio Dei, down to twenty-first century discussions of intercultural hermeneutics. Along the way they reveal advances, mistakes, and changing definitions as German missiologists interacted with the cultural and political realities of their time. This longitudinal study, showcasing many texts available in English for the first time, tackles the history and dynamics of contextualization head-on and sheds new light on the state of missiology today. We are reminded, Flett and Wrogemann argue, that we must keep working to honor difference within the worldwide Christian community as necessary to the fullness of our being in Christ.

Questions of Travel: William Morris in Iceland
by Lavinia GreenlawPoet and novelist Lavinia Greenlaw's poetic reflections on William Morris's Icelandic Journal, one of the overlooked masterpieces of travel literatureThe great Victorian designer and decorative artist William Morris was fascinated by Iceland and wrote a book documenting his travels there. He gets caught up with questions of travel, noting his reaction to the idea of leaving or arriving, to hurry and delay, what it means to dread a place you’ve never been to or to encounter the actuality of a long-held vision. He is sensitive to the emotional landscape of his band of travelers and, above all, continuously analyzing and fixing this “most romantic of all deserts.”Lavinia Greenlaw follows in his footsteps, and interposes his prose with her own “questions of travel.” The result is a new and composite work that brilliantly explores our conflicted reasons for not staying at home.
Questions on the Soul by John Buridan and Others
by Gyula KlimaThis volume features essays that explore the insights of the 14th-century Parisian nominalist philosopher, John Buridan. It serves as a companion to the Latin text edition and annotated English translation of his question-commentary on Aristotle's On the Soul. The contributors survey Buridan's work both in its own historical-theoretical context and in relation to contemporary issues. The essays come in three main sections, which correspond to the three books of Buridan's Questions. Coverage first deals with the classification of the science of the soul within the system of Aristotelian sciences, and surveys the main issues within it. The next section examines the metaphysics of the soul. It considers Buridan's peculiar version of Aristotelian hylomorphism in dealing with the problem of what kind of entity the soul (in particular, the human soul) is, and what powers and actions it has, on the basis of which we can approach the question of its essence. The volume concludes with a look at Buridan's doctrine of the nature and functions of the human intellect. Coverage in this section includes the problem of self-knowledge in Buridan's theory, Buridan's answer to the traditional medieval problem concerning the primary object of the intellect, and his unique treatment of logical problems in psychological contexts.

Qui a fait disparaître le nom de Dieu dans la Bible ?
by Bernard LevineN'est-il pas choquant que le précieux nom du Saint Père ait été retiré de son propre livre près de 7000 fois. Comment pensez-vous que Dieu se sent ? Qui a fait disparaître le nom de Dieu dans la Bible ? Quand Jésus nous a appris à prier, il a dit : « Notre Père qui es aux cieux Que Ton nom soit sanctifié... » quel nom ? Est-ce « Dieu » ? ce n'est pas Son nom... c'est un titre. Est-ce que le nom est « Seigneur » ? ce n'est pas non plus Son nom... c'est aussi un titre. Quel est le saint nom du dieu que vous servez ? Pourquoi est-il important d'utiliser et de louer le vrai nom de Dieu ? Avez-vous vu ce qui est écrit dans Apocalypse chapitre 14 : verset 1 ? Et aussi dans Apocalypse chapitre 3 ? Saviez-vous que l'une des principales raisons pour lesquelles Jésus est venu sur cette Terre était dans le but de révéler et de faire connaître le saint nom de Son Père. Dans ce livre, vous découvrirez la véritable identité du Dieu d'Israël que la plupart des chrétiens ne connaissent pas.

Quick to Listen: Understanding Viewpoints that Challenge Your Faith
by Luke Thompson Samuel Degner Christopher Doerr Nick SchmollerDo you know how to talk to people with different beliefs than yours? Throughout their faith journeys, Christians encounter people with lifestyles, outlooks, and worldviews that test and even defy what they believe. Many Christians don't know how to react to those encounters. How do you have meaningful conversations that don't devolve into heated arguments with people who don't share your beliefs? Your instincts might tell you to refute opposing viewpoints with clever arguments and witty retorts, but those responses can push people away. Even worse, they don't clearly reflect the loving attitude of Jesus. Quick to Listen is made up of open and honest conversations and interviews held by the authors with evolutionists, atheists, Bible skeptics, and friends and members of the LGBTQ+ community. When asked what it meant to have his story shared in this book, one man replied, "It meant there's at least one Christian out there more interested in understanding me than lecturing me." That's what Quick to Listen is all about. It's a helpful tool to instruct you in listening and learning to talk with people who don't share your beliefs as a Christian. It will equip you to acknowledge and understand their experiences and perspectives while also pointing you straight to the Bible to affirm and clarify your faith and beliefs. It will help you build relationships based on genuine Christian compassion so you can share Jesus and his love with them.
