Many approach the book of Job with a number of presuppositions: God desires to test Job's faithfulness. God is controlling the actions of the devil. That God just might make you the next Job. These presuppositions demonstrate a failure to study the book of Job in the light of the full revelation of Father God found in Jesus Christ. Hence, Job is misused to present God as a capricious deity. In this book we will learn how a proper study of Job shows us that Satan’s plan was to discredit both God and Job. We will learn that God did not instigate Job’s trials, but showed the patriarch compassion by delivering him from the designs of Satan against him.

Your faith will soar as you learn about the God who is willing to meet every need and godly desire of His children.

Numerous verses in the Bible mention God’s generosity, kindness, mercy, love, compassion, holiness, integrity, and other attributes. But other Scriptures also depict Him as a destroyer. What if one can have an alternative interpretation of the “destroyer” verses without ever compromising the fact that the Bible is God’s inspired Word? This book will show that it is not only possible, but also vital. Using the Bible itself, as well as insights from scholars from various theological backgrounds, you will be shown how one can interpret such texts and yet realize that God does not engage in destructive action. Our life will be impacted by what we believe about God. This work is therefore of utmost significance. After finishing this study, we think you’ll love God and your Bible even more.

We appropriately use the Bible as our foundation for all Christian belief and practice because we rightly recognize it as God’s written Word. Why then is there such a lack of clarity on the God that this book is supposed to reveal to us within its pages? Why does He claim to be good, compassionate, and merciful while He is accused of hardening hearts, tempting people, causing sickness and accidents, etc. in so many other places? The issues arise from our failure to accurately understand and apply the “idiom of permission” to our reading and study of this holy text. In this book, Pastor Troy J. Edwards provides the scholarly evidence that the Bible uses the idiom of permission frequently, and he discusses how the application of this idiom will resolve many issues related to our understanding of God’s character.

Revelation's Hymns examines the hymnic pericopes in Revelation in light of the cosmic conflict theme. It considers this theme as integral to the development of Revelation's plot. Recognizing that critical studies give interpretative primacy to the political realities that existed at the time of Revelation's composition, Grabiner responds to the need for an examination of the storyline from the perspective of issues that are of narrative importance. Grabiner argues that the cosmic conflict is at the centre of the book's concerns, and attempts to determine the function of the hymns with respect to this. Previous examinations of the hymns have considered them as a response and/or parody to Roman liturgy, examples of God's unquestioned sovereignty, or expressions of thematic overtones found throughout the book. While these approaches make a contribution to a greater understanding of the hymns, the relation to the ever-present conflict theme has not been explored. This study allows the hymnic sections to engage with the larger narrative issue as to who is truly the rightful sovereign of the universe.

God has been misrepresented by both His “followers” and His enemies. Most of the misrepresentation centers around the Biblical phrase, “the wrath of God”. This misrepresentation is due to the failure of both “defenders” and “detractors” of God to thoroughly study Scripture’s teaching on this subject. In this book we show the reader that as we allow Scripture to interpret itself we will find that God’s wrath does not equate to the angry destructive being that He is often portrayed to be nor does His wrath eliminate His love. The reader will learn that Scripture presents a consistent picture of a loving God trying to save mankind from the destructive power of our own sins.
