Grace Communion International: 125 books

A commentary on four chapters of Acts, from the Jerusalem ministry of Peter, to persecution, the selection of seven Hellenistic leaders, and the sermon and stoning of Stephen.

Paul Kroll continues his commentary on the book of Acts, with research pulled in from some other author's commentaries. In this volume, we also include a lengthy study of the Decree of the Jerusalem Council, written by Michael D. Morrison, PhD. All materials were written in the mid 1990s and updated in 2012.

In this lay-level commentary, Michael Morrison goes through the entire letter to the Romans, commenting on what it means for us today. The focus is on what we do know, not on controversies that have no resolution.

Dr. Roger Newell, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at George Fox University, discusses three topics.

Paul Kroll continues his research and analysis for Paul's second missionary journey.

This introductory commentary gives an overview of the first two books of the Bible, from Creation to the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai. We explore each book, and its significance for Christians today. Should we keep the laws God gave to Moses? What lessons can we learn from the lives of Abraham, Joseph, and Moses?

When Christians read the Old Testament, they are often puzzled. They find many laws that seem to be part of Christianity, and yet they also find many laws that no one obeys. Laws of sacrifice, rituals and civil laws are mixed together with laws that tell people how to get along with others. How can...

A brief introduction to major sections of the Bible, with a summary chapter explaining the larger story that ties it all together. Introductory chapters by the late John Halford; overview chapter by Michael D. Morrison, PhD, who also edited the book.

In this lay-level commentary, Michael Morrison explores the details of Paul's letter to the Colossians and to Philemon. In Colossians, Paul insists that Christ is fully sufficient for our salvation; we do not need to add any extra knowledge or rules to qualify for the kingdom. In his letter to Philemon, Paul asks Philemon to treat a slave as a brother, and to send him to help Paul.

In this lay-level commentary, Paul Kroll explores the book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse. A series of introductory articles explore the nature of this kind of writing, and its purpose. Some commentators have turned Revelation into an outline of history, when that is not its purpose. The commentary then turns to chapters 1-3, including the seven letters to the seven churches.

Dennis Gordon, with a PhD in zoology and an ordained minister, comments on how we should read the book of Genesis. He offers a constructive way to think about issues of creation and evolution, as well as a Christian's responsibility toward the world God has created.

In this lay-level commentary, Tim Finlay and Jim Herst take the reader on a journey from Mt. Sinai to the Promised Land, from repeated failures in the wilderness of Sin to success in Gilead, Judea, and Israel. Lessons for Christians today are found throughout.

In this collection of articles, we present 10 basic doctrines of Christianity, with an explanation of the basic features of each biblical teaching. We follow each doctrinal article with two articles explaining how the doctrine makes a difference in our lives - how it encourages us to respond in a...
