Fuga De Babilonia: Uma História de Salvação nas Ruas de Bagdá
S. Joseph Kidder
odos falavam comigo ao mesmo tempo.
- Como você pode fazer isso? - meu pai gritou.
- Sim, você é louco! - um dos meus tios gritou.
- Você está envergonhando nossa família - esbravejou minha mãe.
Havia pessoas gritando comigo de todas as direções enquanto meus pais e parentes tentavam me convencer a abandonar minha nova fé.
- Como você pode querer ser adventista do sétimo dia? Essa religião é uma seita.
- É uma religião judia!
- Onde você está com a cabeça?
Eu fiquei parado, confuso e sob toda aquela grande tensão. Finalmente, quando meu pai pensou que não estava chegando a lugar nenhum comigo e que eu não mudaria de ideia, ele tirou os sapatos, jogou-os em mim e cuspiu em mim. Vendo isso, meu primo Basher - de quem eu era muito próximo - sentiu que era seu dever me colocar no eixo. Então, ele e um dos meus irmãos me agarraram pelos braços, me levantaram e começaram a me bater. Enquanto eles me batiam, me empurravam em todas as direções.
Assim começou sua longa jornada da Babilônia de sua vida secular no Iraque para o incrível amor de Deus. Quando ele aceitou os planos divinos para sua vida, não sabia das muitas lutas e sacrifícios que o aguardavam, mas a oração, a fé nas Escrituras e o apoio de sua nova família da igreja o levariam a uma vida de mistério e serviço que continua até hoje. -

Deuteronomy: The Book of Love
Jiří Moskala
The book of Deuteronomy belongs with the most significant literature in the Hebrew Scriptures because it systematically shapes and articulates the faith of God’s people in a living God. It is a literary masterpiece, a jewel, and the Magna Carta of Israel’s teaching. This well-organized manual of faith is the religious constitution for God’s people, climaxing the Pentateuch and crowning the Torah with a comprehensive overview of the divine law of God.
In Deuteronomy: The Book of Love by Dr. Jirí Moskala, you will- learn to recognize streams of thinking through history,
- see the Lord as humanity’s personal God,
- examine the literary form of a covenant,
- explore the relationship between fear and love, and
- delve into the bond between the Sabbath and social justice and so much more.
Through this beautiful book of love, discover God’s passion for His people, and learn how to love, admire, obey, worship, serve, fear, and follow the Lord out of gratitude for who He is, what He has done, is doing, and will do.

Unmistakably Christian: Surprising Lessons from 1 & 2 Peter
Thomas Shepherd
Following Jesus is countercultural in our modern society; but it was even more so in the first century when Christianity was in its infancy. The new religion was a radical departure from cultural norms, the expectations of family, and the dictates of government. Following Jesus is still countercultural. However, these surprising lessons from Peter will encourage you as you follow Jesus, and your community will know you are unmistakably Christian.

Exploring the Composition of the Pentateuch (Bulletin for Biblical Research Supplement Book 27)
Leslie Scott Baker Jr, Kenneth Bergland, Felipe Alves Masotti, and A. Rahel Wells
- For many years, the historical-critical quest for a reconstruction of the origin(s) and development of the Pentateuch or Hexateuch has been dominated by the documentary hypothesis, the heuristic power of which has produced a consensus so strong that an interpreter who did not operate within its framework was hardly regarded as a scholar. However, the relentless march of research on this topic has continued to yield new and refined analyses, data, methodological tools, and criticism. In this spirit, the contributions to this volume investigate new ideas about the composition of the Pentateuch arising from careful analysis of the biblical text against its ancient Near Eastern background.Covering a wide spectrum of topics and diverging perspectives, the chapters in this book are grouped into two parts. The first is primarily concerned with the history of scholarship and alternative approaches to the development of the Pentateuch. The second focuses on the exegesis of particular texts relevant to the composition of the Torah. The aim of the project is to foster investigation and collegial dialogue in a spirit of humility and frankness, without imposing uniformity.In addition to the editors, the contributors include Tiago Arrais, Richard E. Averbeck, John S. Bergsma, Joshua A. Berman, Daniel I. Block, Richard Davidson, Roy E. Gane, Duane A. Garrett, Richard S. Hess, Benjamin Kilchör, Michael LeFebvre, Jiří Moskala, and Christian Vogel.

The Book of Isaiah: Thoughts as High as Heaven
Roy Gane
People naturally look for ways to survive and thrive. They look to their families, friends, and organizations, and they strive to acquire lands, buildings, and material possessions for security and prosperity. Food, comfort, and safety are high priorities. When hardships or dangers arise, we look around for solutions. But what if we cannot find answers to the problems that threaten our existence?
The book of Isaiah challenge people, including us, to stop just looking around and start looking up to the Lord, whom Isaiah saw "sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up" (Isaiah 6:1). In author Roy Gane's "The Book of Isaiah", readers will get a fresh look at some of the poetry and parallelism, imagery, and contrasts, and musical rhythms that for the symphony of the human journey through judgement and restoration. See key aspects of God's character in a new light, take a fresh look at how He leads and comforts broken people, and marvel at the glorious destiny waiting God's redeemed. -

Voices from the Reformation
Trevor O'Reggio
I have bought together eight published and unpublished articles on the Protestant Reformation in this small book. These articles deal with a range of theological issues. Chapter one explores the life and teachings of Jan Hus, one of the most significant pre-reformer whose life and theology set the stage for the Protestant Reformation of the Sixteenth century. Chapter two describes the core theological issue-of Anabaptism-Discipleship. Chapter three compares the teachings of Anabaptism with those of the Seventh-day Adventists. Chapter 4 analyzes the Radicals’ reformers’ views on the Holy Spirit. Chapters five, six, and seven focuses on Martin Luther, considered the towering figure of the Reformation. In chapter five, I reexamine Luther’s views on death and dying. Chapter six explores his revolutionary views on marriage, sex, and the family. Chapter seven analyzes his enigmatic and paradoxical theology. Chapter eight concludes the book by surveying a representative view of the major Protestant reformers of the sixteenth century on what happens to the wicked at the final judgment and the nature of hell.

La Naturaleza del ser Humano en los Orígenes: Génesis 1-11
Richard M. Davidson
"Este libro es una contribución importante y fundamental para la definición de lo que es el ser humano. La lectura de este escrito es relevante en el siglo XXI debido a la importancia de las relaciones humanas que abarcan casi todo el espectro de actividades en las que el ser humano participa. El estudio de la naturaleza humana hecha a partir de una cosmovisión bíblica responde a muchas interrogantes que el ser humano se ha hecho por siglos. Preguntarse ¿qué soy? o mas aún ¿quién soy? constituye una de las inquietudes mas antiguas a las que cada individuo se enfrenta en cierto momento de la vida. Para responder este enigma, Davidson hace una descripción de la naturaleza del ser humano en sus tres etapas o estados: antes de la caída, o lo que Davidson llama el “estado original de la humanidad”; después de la caída; y el “estado futuro de la humanidad”.Richard M. Davidson es un académico de Antiguo Testamento en Andrews University, Michigan. Davidson fue el presidente de la Sociedad Teológica Adventista desde 1996-1998. Está casado con la, también académica, JoAnn Davidson. Davidson es mejor conocido por su importante trabajo académico Flame of Yahweh: A Theology of Sexuality in the Old Testament. Nació en California, terminó su Maestría con Suma Cum Laude en Andrews University, y luego su Doctorado en Estudios Bíblicos, en la misma Universidad el año 1981."
