by Colin G. KrusePaul's long, complicated history with the Corinthian church culminates in this ardent defense of Christian ministry in general and of his own ministry in particular. In this revised edition, Colin Kruse updates and expands his insightful analysis that illuminates Paul's contrast of the old and new covenants and his eloquent exposition of the ministry of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians: Words from a Caring Shepherd (MacArthur Bible Studies)
by John F. MacArthurAfter spending eighteen months in Corinth helping to establish a church, the apostle Paul moved on in his mission to build more churches in Asia Minor. But back in Corinth, false teachers began to infiltrate the church, and they were intent on ruining Paul’s character and ministry. This threatened to separate and create chaos among this once-unified body.Paul wrote this intensely personal and biographical letter to defend his ministry and integrity against the slanderous attacks. Like a seasoned attorney, he deals firmly with the false teachers and their followers by focusing primarily on Christ, while embracing his own weaknesses and imperfections. As a powerful reminder for struggling and maligned believers everywhere, Paul quotes the Savior: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness."The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.
2 Corinthians: Serving from the Heart
by John Ortberg Kevin HarneyExtend the Compassion and Grace of Jesus Jesus came to serve, sacrifice, and die. His humble lifestyle flies in the face of the conventional wisdom of a society that is fixated on getting more and scraping our way to the top. Not only did the Savior model a life of extraordinary service, he called his followers to join him in this mission. In 2 Corinthians we find a pathway to Jesus-like living. Paul calls us to align our hearts and lives with the way of the Savior and offer authentic love, amazing grace, extravagant generosity, and humble service. As we do this, we are shaped into the image of the One who served so hard he ended up on a cross.

2 Corinthians (N. T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides)
by N. T. Wright Patty PellPaul's second letter to the Corinthians explores the meaning of the cross in terms of personal suffering--his own, and that of all the Messiah's people. If in Galatians he is angry, if in Philippians he is joyful, in this letter his deep sorrow and the raw wounds of his own recent suffering are very apparent. Yet he is determined to view all of his suffering and all of the troubles of the world through the lens of the gospel. These studies by Tom Wright on this powerful epistle point us toward the strange comfort to be found in the suffering, death and resurrection-life of Jesus, the Lord of the world.
2 Chronicles: An Introduction And Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries #Volume 11)
by Martin J. SelmanThe Chronicler wrote as a pastoral theologian. The congregation he addressed was an Israel separated from its former days of blessing by a season of judgment. The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles bring a divine word of healing and reaffirm the hope of restoration to a nation that needed to regain its footing in God's promises and to reshape its life before God. The Chronicler expounds the Bible as he knows it, skillfully weaving his commentary into the linear text of Israel's history. His theme is straightforward--the promises of God revealed in the Davidic covenant are as trustworthy and as effective as the God who first uttered them. In two volumes Martin Selman provides an excellent interpretation of these sorely neglected yet profound books of the Old Testament. This volume on 2 Chronicles continues to build on the groundwork laid by its companion in 1 Chronicles. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.

The 1960's: Rebels
by Dorothy Hoobler Tom HooblerTHIS SEVENTH VOLUME OF THE Century Kids follows two rebels--in the best sense of the word. The first is Chuck, the great-great-grandson of the patriarch, Lionel Aldrich, whose family we have followed through five generations of the twentieth century. His rebellion, so typical of the decade, is against unfair authority. The second rebel is Sojie, who takes a stand against the established practice of the times as she returns with her mother to the South to participate in a lunch-counter demonstration demanding equal service for blacks. Both young people typify the awakening social consciousness that characterized the decade. AS IN THE EARLIER CENTURY KIDS volumes, the events and artifacts of the decade provide a backdrop for the narrative. The 1960s are a particularly inspiring decade with the growing success of Dr. Martin Luther King's nonviolent protest movement--yet it was a tragic decade as well, as young idealists grow to admire young President John F. Kennedy, only to see him brutally assassinated. IN ADDITION TO AN EXCITING STORY, the Hooblers provide an historical afterword, explaining some of the more interesting aspects of their research into the decade, as well as a timeline outlining what was going on in the world in which the story unfolds.

1857 Indischer Unabhängigkeitskrieg (Meuterei der indischen Sepoys): Ursachen und Folgen

1857 Guerra de Independencia de la India/1857 Motín de Los Cipayos de la India.
by Shahid Hussain RajaEl 27 de abril de 1857, ochenta y cinco soldados de un regimiento Bengalí de la British East Indian Company, publicado en Meerut, desobedecieron las órdenes de su oficial británico superior, de usar los nuevos cartuchos para los nuevos rifles Enfield, presuntamente empacados en grasa de vaca y cerdo. Se les impuso un castigo severo a los soldados desobedientes, y esto también frente a sus colegas, resultando en el motín de varios regimientos y finalmente se convirtió en un levantamiento general de la gente de India. Fueron despiadadamente reprimidos por los británicos con la ayuda de su tecnología superior y soporte de las élites locales. Sin embargo, como cualquier evento cataclísmico, dio origen a diferentes tendencias sociales, políticas y económicas, las cuales todavía están dando forma al curso de acontecimientos en los estados postcoloniales de India, Pakistán, Bangladesh y otros países del subcontinente Indio. Este pequeño manual intenta descubrir la naturaleza, causas y consecuencias de este hito tan importante de la historia de las luchas de la gente de India por la Independencia. Esto explica el trasfondo de la Guerra de Independencia de India en 1857 o como algunos escritores le llaman, El Motín de los Cipayos de la India de 1857, enumera en detalle las causas sociales, económicas y políticas de este acontecimiento trascendental, narra el curso de los eventos, razones de su fracaso y termina con un análisis acerca del impacto a largo y corto plazo. Por último, argumenta que muchas de las tendencias de hoy en día en India, Pakistán y Bangladesh tienen sus raíces en políticas adoptadas por los administradores británicos en las secuelas de este levantamiento.
