The Blurred Cross A Writer’s Difficult Journey with God Richard Bauckham

Esteemed New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham offers profound theological reflection on God’s providence amid life’s difficulties.

“ The Blurred Cross has all the makings of a fresh Christian classic. You will finish the book profoundly grateful, not only to Bauckham for having written it, but even more, to the God who so obviously inspired it.” —JEREMY BEGBIE, Duke Divinity School “This book is striking in its vulnerability and clarity, as it weaves together the warp of human experience with the weft of scriptural study, theological reflection, and poetical imagination. A rich tapestry that displays God’s loving care.” —ELIZABETH E. SHIVELY, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University

Richard Bauckham (PhD, University of Cambridge) is emeritus professor of New Testament at the University of St. Andrews, senior scholar at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and a fellow of the British Academy.

Jesus the Purifier John’s Gospel and the Fourth Quest for the Historical Jesus Craig L. Blomberg

Christianity Today 2024 Book Award (Biblical Studies)

Craig Blomberg explains that a fourth quest for the historical Jesus is underway, one that highlights the contribution of the Gospel of John and recognizes Jesus as Purifier.

“A treasure. Recognizing the value of the third quest, it appropriately raises the need for a fourth. You will profit greatly from this read.” —DARRELL L. BOCK, Dallas Theological Seminary “Blomberg not only argues that much more of John is amenable to sketching a portrait of who Jesus was; he also discerns from John an early interest in purification in Jesus’s ministry. Required reading for all those interested in the ongoing quest for the historical Jesus.” —JEANNINE K. BROWN, Bethel Seminary
