Böcker av John Phillips

Valuable tools for study or scholarship. Taking a telescopic view of the Bible, Exploring the Old Testament Book by Book and Exploring the New Testament Book by Book enable readers to see the big picture behind this Book of books, to see how the various parts of Scripture relate to one another. These volumes from gifted expositor John Phillips teaches the importance of taking a few steps back from Scripture in order to gain fresh insight into the message, meaning, and art of the Bible.

"Jesus is Lord" has been traditionally understood as one of the oldest and most basic Christian statements of faith. Unlike many other terms given to Jesus (i.e., "Son of God"), however, the term "Lord" is relatively common and its meaning is sometimes lost on the modern reader. What does "lordship" involve? What does it mean for us? Why does the Bible so frequently use this title for Jesus? Jesus Our Lord shows readers how we are never far from encountering the lordship of Christ in the Scriptures. Respected teacher John Phillips explores how the Bible provides a window through which we encounter Jesus our Lord, and discusses the many biblical events, stories, and prophecies that reflect his lordship. Meditating on these themes, lay readers, pastors, and teachers will better understand the lordship of Christ. Jesus Our Lord is a companion volume to Phillips's The View from Mount Calvary, which looks at the Bible's many presentations of Jesus' sacrificial death. "Dr. Phillips has the rare gift of bringing diverse Scripture passages together so that we see beautiful patterns in Scripture and as a result, better understand 'the big picture.' He boldly proclaims Jesus Christ and magnifies Him as the only Savior of the world." --Warren W. Wiersbe John Phillips taught in the Moody Evening School and on the Moody Broadcasting radio network. His many titles include The View From Mount Calvary and volumes in the John Phillips Bible Commentary series. He and his wife, Betty, live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

"Phillips would have us look no further than the poem itself for the primary matter of its own accordant recognition as fact. So that to write is to read ourselves into being alive in forms we have no further proof of than the act of the poem's own declaration." -Patrick James Dunagan

William Smith (1769-1839) was best known as the author of the Map of the Strata of England and Wales - indeed, he was known as 'Strata' Smith. His Memoirs, edited by his nephew John Phillips and published in 1844, tell the story of his life from his beginnings as a blacksmith's son in Oxfordshire to his geological work. Smith began as an assistant to a land surveyor and moved into mine-related projects, including excavations for canal-building. During the course of one such project he realised the significance of strata within layers of rock, and in subsequent surveys he could locate deposits of coal, iron and other minerals. Smith suffered throughout his life from financial problems which frustrated publication of his works; his map was published in 1815, but further works were never completed. Towards the end of his life, however, he finally received the scientific recognition that was his due.
