God has displayed His love, grace, and mercy throughout the Bible. God is not a “respecter of persons,” (Act:10:24). He has made salvation available to every man that believes in His son Jesus (John 3:16). The believers are to follow the Great Commission which is to make disciples throughout the nations (Matthew 28:19). Jesus gave the key in Acts 1:8 for missions which is receiving the power of the Holy Ghost. It is the Holy Ghost that will teach and bring things back to memory according to John 14:26.

Judeophobia and the New Testament Texts and Contexts Edited by Sarah E. Rollens, Eric M. Vanden Eykel and Meredith J. C. Warren Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts is a timely and incisive contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding the New Testament’s role in the history of anti-Judaism and Judeophobia. The volume brings together leading voices in biblical studies, Jewish studies, and ancient history to interrogate the intersections between New Testament texts and the socio-political dynamics of Jewish–non-Jewish relations in antiquity and their afterlives in Christian tradition. The book’s central thesis challenges the traditional Christian assumption that Judeophobia is primarily a post-biblical phenomenon. Instead, the editors and contributors argue that forms of anti-Jewish discourse are already embedded within or provoked by certain New Testament texts, though often in complex and contextually conditioned ways. The volume thus aligns with the broader t...

 James Crossley and Chris Keith’s work called  The Next Quest for the Historical Jesus represents an ambitious, thought-provoking addition to the evolving field of historical Jesus studies. The editors gather a diverse array of scholars who not only re-evaluate traditional methodologies but also probe the ideological underpinnings of the so-called “quests” for the historical Jesus. This text, with contributions from scholars such as Helen Bond, Rafael Rodríguez, and Anthony Le Donne, moves beyond the well-trodden territory of historicity debates to address broader issues within the field’s methodological and epistemological frameworks. The volume opens by framing itself as a response to the question of whether the “quest” metaphor remains relevant or necessary for historical Jesus studies. This concern is emblematic of the broader intention of the collection: to unsettle comfortable assumptions and push the field toward innovative approaches that reflect contemporary shifts...

This is a very user friendly book that gives depth to anyone who is wanting a deep Bible study. This book and its precepts are like reading a breath of fresh air. She goes into such deep knowledge that even myself in seminary it took time to delve deeper. In this book, Kristie breaks up each book and part of scripture into the categories of Law, Old Testament Narrative, Poetry and Wisdom, Prophecy and Apocalyptic literature, Gospels and Acts, and Epistles. Within these categories, the author has given further distinctions of stories, poetry, and speeches within the biblical story. Overall, I appreciate this book so much. I remember the first time I understood there were multiple genres inside the small library of 66 books that is the Bible. I was fascinated but also frightened and scared. It takes time to get closer to the story. I got a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
