In One Lord, One Faith: Lessons on Racial Reconciliation from the New Testament Church, Matthew Akers explores the deep racial divides that threatened the early church. Believers, who learned how to celebrate their unity by applying Christ’s teachings to their lives, ultimately tore down the ethnocultural barriers that separated them. Their oneness astounded a world that had never seen this level of reconciliation. As a result of their commitment to love God and to love others, the Holy Spirit blessed their faithfulness, which convinced many that Jesus is Lord. The purpose of this book is to help twenty-first century American churches implement in their congregations the first century church’s approach to racial reconciliation.

Reassessing Selah
Ashley E. Lyon
Selah, an obscure term in the Psalter and Habakkuk, has commonly been the subject of discussion regarding its meaning and use. Many 19th century scholars have spent countless hours, and devoted many pages, to remove Selah from obscurity. Only now have we revealed a previously undiscovered clue in Selah’s use during the Second Temple period due to 20th century archaeological finds. In Reassessing Selah, Ashley E. Lyon approaches each text with a “whole picture” perspective to examine each psalm and Selah occurrence in its immediate context. Many scholars believed that Selah was simply an instruction for the musical director, but new evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls suggests that it was a live term in the Second Temple period.

Advance Praise for Bethlehem’s Redeemer
“Daniel Palmer preached from the Old Testament in Southeastern Seminary chapel over a decade ago, and I thank God often that I was in attendance that day. Daniel’s handling of the text changed my life, because it pushed me to see Jesus on every page of Scripture. In this new book, Palmer walks readers through how to read the whole Bible as a book about Jesus and then shows us what reading with “Christ-centered lenses” looks like from the book of Ruth. Bethlehem’s Redeemer will not only push you to read Scripture in a way that’s centered on Jesus, it will also push you toward Jesus through its pastoral and accessible tone. I highly recommend this gem of a book!”

“Jesus is the hero of the whole Bible. There is no book that does not point in some way to His person and work. BETHLEHEM’S REDEEMER reveals His presence in each of the four chapters of the marvelous little book of Ruth. He is the true kinsman redeemer we all need.”

“Rich enough to help pastors prepare to preach through the book of Ruth and accessible enough to help new believers better understand it, this book is a great devotional and study-help for anyone who wants to engage with these rich, beautiful stories of the Hebrew Scriptures more fully. Daniel makes even the cultural and theological nuances of Ruth easy to understand and helps the reader clearly see how to apply its principles.”

“Jesus said of the Old Testament, “These are the very Scriptures that testify of me” (John 5:39). Daniel Palmer demonstrates how the Book of Ruth testifies of Jesus. He explains clearly how this little, beautiful Old Testament book reveals Jesus as our Kinsman Redeemer. Bethlehem’s Redeemer is an excellent resource for any pastor, Sunday school teacher or small group leader who is preaching or teaching the Book of Ruth.”

“Daniel Palmer blesses the reader with the mind of a serious student of God’s Word, the shepherd’s heart of a pastor, and a desire to point people to Jesus. Based off the Old Testament book of Ruth, the love of God and His great redemptive plan jumps off the pages as we are gripped by this epic real life story of mercy everlasting and hope eternal. Our Redeemer Lives!”
