NEW TESTAMENT

New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis

As might be expected, the new edition brings extensive rewriting, updated bibliographies, articles that reflect contemporary discussion, and correction of earlier errors and inconsistencies, but in addition, it brings changes that make it richer and more user-friendly to those interested in detailed exegesis. Not all standard reference works deserve to be standards; this one does.

A quite useful tool from the past has been taken to a new whole new level. Sometimes a 2.0 has the feel of a sequel with little new substance. The old resource works well enough. That is certainly not the case here. It has long been time for an up-to-date lexical tool and NIDNTTE is it. DARRELL L. BOCK, Dallas Theological Seminary

Benefiting from electronic tools not available to the previous edition, as well as the most recent scholarship, the discussion of each NT word entry is consistently presented with its wider usage in classical Greek, the LXX, and other Jewish literature. This revised edition is an essential resource that will be used with confidence for many decades to come.

An authoritative and widely-used reference work for nearly 40 years, the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis has been thoroughly revised and updated to aid todays scholars, students, and pastors in their study of the Bible. Offering a wealth of background and information on the meaning of Greek words in the New Testamentas well as related usage in other ancient sourcesthis important tool is a must-have for scholars, students, and pastors.

3,552 pages (presented in 5 volumes) of background information on the meaning of Greek words in the New TestamentExpanded to include additional Greek words and concepts not covered in the original workIncludes nearly 800 entries covering over 3,000 Greek wordsDiscussions have been revised to be in line with modern scholarship, and bibliographies are updatedArrangement and accessibility of Greek words ensures that individual words are not discussed in isolation from one another Corrections have been made to inconsistencies and omissions in the earlier edition

Helpful sixty-page list of English terms and concepts directs the reader to all of the Greek words that have something to do with a particular English word. For example, under the English entry Anger, Wrath, there is a list of thirteen Greek words that are related to that topic.Updated and added consistency to includefor every entry all necessary background information from classical Greek, the Septuagint, and Jewish literatureSignificant changes have been made in the presentation and discussion of linguistic details

BEN C. BLACKWELL, JOHN K. GOODRICH, AND JASON MASTON, EDITORS

Reading Romans in ContextPaul and Second Temple Judaism

Readers of Paul today are more than ever aware of the importance of interpreting Pauls letters in their Jewish context. In Reading Romans in Context, a team of Pauline scholars go beyond a general introduction that surveys historical events and theological themes and explore Pauls letter to the Romans in light of Second Temple Jewish literature. In this non-technical collection of short essays, beginning and intermediate students are given a chance to see firsthand what makes Paul a distinctive thinker in relation to his Jewish contemporaries. Following the narrative progression of Romans, each chapter pairs a major unit of the letter with one or more thematically related Jewish text, introduces and explores the theological nuances of the comparative text, and shows how these ideas illuminate our understanding of the book of Romans.

BEN C. BLACKWELL (PhD, University of Durham) is assistant professor of Christianity at Houston Baptist University, Houston, Texas. He is the author of Christosis: Pauline Soteriology in Light of Deification in Irenaeus and Cyril.

JOHN K. GOODRICH (PhD, University of Durham) is assistant professor of Bible at Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Illinois. He is the author of Paul as an Administrator of God in 1 Corinthians.

JASON MASTON (PhD, University of Durham) is assistant professor of theology and chair of the department of Theology at Houston Baptist University and currently holds a British Academy/Leverhulme Small Grant for a project titled Being Human: A Pauline Anthropology. He is the author of Divine and Human Agency in Second Temple Judaism and Paul: A Comparative Study.

Studies in the Pauline EpistlesEssays in Honor of Douglas J. Moo

Douglas J. Moo has had a long and illustrious career as a scholar, teacher, mentor, and colleague. Studies in the Pauline Epistles is intended to honor him for his significant contributions to the church and the academy. This Festschrift to Douglas J. Moo is unique in several ways. Since Doug has been a key proponent to the Old Perspective on Paul, the reader will be interested in reading the essay by N. T. Wright in which he reflects on the phrase the righteousness of God in Romans 3. And where else can you read an essay by James D. G. Dunn on Whats Good about the Old Perspective on Paul and by Stephen Westerholm on Whats Right about the New Perspective on Paul?

MATTHEW S. HARMON (PhD, Wheaton College and Graduate School) is professor of New Testament studies at Grace College and Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana.

JAY E. SMITH (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Theological School) is professor of New Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas.

G. K. Beale Craig L. Blomberg Ardel B. CanedayD. A. Carson James D. G. Dunn Matthew S. Harmon

These are only some of the rich, solid essays from colleagues and former students that fill this book. This book is a must-have for any serious Pauline scholar.

Since one of Doug Moos roles is as chairman of the Committee on Bible Translation (which oversees the NIV translation), several authors (including N. T. Wright) offer arguments for modifications to the NIV for the committee to consider. Interestingly, Jonathan A. Moo, Dougs son, who is following in his fathers footsteps as a biblical scholar, does a careful analysis of Pauls reflections on himself as the father of those whom he has led to Christ.

A reliable and accessible guide both to recent scholarship on the apostle and to the content and context of each of his letters. This is a fine (and richly illustrated) text-book whose use need hardly be confined to the classroom!

The study of Paul and his letters can be exciting, challenging, and life-changing, especially when students achieve more than a basic familiarity with the subject. In Thinking through Paul, a textbook designed for both university and seminary courses, Bruce W. Longenecker and Todd D. Still seek to expand and to enrich readers understanding of Paul and his writings. Bringing to bear decades of teaching, study, and research, Longenecker and Still challenge readers to delve deeply into Pauls letters and to wrestle with his richly-layered and dynamic theological discourse. Seeking to situate the study of the apostle in proper perspective, Longenecker and Still first examine the contours of Pauls life before and after his encounter with the risen Christ, then explore each of Pauls letters individually, and finally highlight the main strands of Pauls theologizing from a cross-section of his letters. Filled with images, maps, charts, and questions for further study and discussion, Thinking through Paul is engaging and accessible, placing Paul within his historical context, and investigating his spirited letters and their important theological contributions.

60 Part 2:Pauls Let ters

4. The gospel that Paul and his fellow missioners de-clared to the Gentile Thessalonians entailed their turning to God from idols and hearing about the com-ing of Gods risen Son from heaven.

5. Even as the apostles encountered opposition in proclaiming the gospel in Thessalonica, those who received the message were also opposed.

We will be able to fill out this picture further as we track the vision of the letter, but there are other matters that first require our attention.

The City of ThessalonicaPaul and his ministry companions undoubtedly traveled from Philippi to Thessalonica on the via Egnatia.1 As they tra-versed this roughly one-hundred-mile southwesterly trek, they passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia (see Acts 17:1).2

When they arrived in Thessalonica in the late 40s AD, they would have discovered a sizeable seaport city strategi-

cally located on the Thermaic Gulf with mountains to the north and fertile land to the west.3 A city that has been in continuous existence since roughly 315 BC, Thessalonica was founded by Cassander, the son of Antipater. Cassander named the city after his wife Thes-salonike, the daughter of Philip of Macedon and stepsister of Alexander the Great.

In Pauls day, Thessalonica was a free city under Roman rule. Among other privileges, this status afforded the city the luxury of governing itself, minting its own money, and

activity, since households were not merely houses for a single family unit (as is common in Western cultures today) but were hives in which familial, patronal, servile, and commercial relationships intersected.

Paul and the Corinthians, Thus far By the time Paul wrote 1Co rin thi ans, the Chris tian communities in Corinth had prob-ably become used to the arrival and departure of people who were influential in the Jesus movement or who had proven their effectiveness in its mission. Paul, their founding fa-ther, was only the first of these. Also involved was Apollos of Alexandria in Egypt, who seems to have been a brilliant orator in defense of the message of the early Jesus movement. Acts recounts how Apollos left Ephesus to visit Corinth and reside there for a time (Acts 18:27 19:1). By the time Paul composed 1Co rin thi ans, however, Apollos was again back in Ephesus (1Cor 16:12).

Similarly, Prisca (or Priscilla) and Aquila, who probably arrived in Corinth in AD 49 or early 50, seem to have left Corinth in 51 to take up residence in Ephesus. That they were an impressive team in ministry is suggested by three things.

MostlikelytheywenttoEphesusinAD 51 at Pauls request in order to prepare the way for his later Ephesian ministry, which he began there in 52 or perhaps 53.

The House of the Bicentenary

This picture is of a fairly large house in the first-century city of Herculaneum the so-called House of the Bicentenary. The house is entered from a doorway that leads to a fairly large atrium (a open square area) that served a variety of purposes. A con-glomeration of bedrooms and dining rooms adjoin the atrium. Beyond them is a peristyle that is open to the sky, with various rooms adjoining it (kitch-ens, perhaps slave accommodations). There were stairs in the middle that led up to separate apartments on the next level of the house, where approximate-ly three separate residences existed.

AhouseofthiskindmightprovidethebackgroundtoPaulscommentsin1Cor14:2324.Therehe seems to imagine people other than Jesus-followers simply walking into a corporate gathering of Jesus-followers that is already in progress. Space was largely shared in the ancient world, and people would have passed through open spaces when undertaking their various duties.

spend the winter (3:12).20 The apostle also in-structs Titus to do everything he can to provide Zenas the lawyer and Apollos with what they need in their coming to and going from Crete (3:13).21

Prior to extending greetings to Titus on behalf of unnamed others and asking Titus to greet those who love us in the faith (3:15a), Paul admonishes Titus to instruct people to de-vote themselves to doing what is good. By doing good, they could provide for urgent needs and live productive lives (3:14). The letter closes with a grace-wish (3:15b). Far from an abstract theo-logical concept or construct, the letter of Titus teaches that the grace of God has appeared, of-fering salvation to all and justifying those who trust in God (2:11; 3:7 8).

centering the vision of 1tiM othy: conduct in gods householdNear the center of 1 Tim othy, one encounters a passage that reveals the letters purpose. Paul, whose location is not given, tells Timothy, who is in Ephesus (1:3), that he hopes to come to him soon (3:14; cf. Phil 2:19, 23 24). As a stopgap measure, however, he is writing him a letter so that even if he is delayed, Timothy will know how people ought to conduct themselves in Gods household (3:15).

Over the course of our study, we have seen how Pauline churches typically met in households. Here, household serves as a metaphor for the church (see also Gal 6:10; Eph 2:19). Given that the Pastorals are replete with instructions to those who comprise households (1Tim 2:8 15; 5:1 2; 6:1 2; recall Titus 2:1 10), this image is apropos and functions as something of a master metaphor.

Four Portraits, One Jesus is a thorough-yet-accessible introduction to these documents and their subject: the life and person of Jesus. With clarity and insight, Mark Strauss illuminates these four books, first addressing their nature, origin, methods for study, and historical, religious, and cultural backgrounds. He then moves on to closer study of each narrative and its contribution to our understanding of Jesus, investigating things such as plot, characters, and theme. Finally, he pulls it all together with a detailed examination of what the Gospels teach about Jesus ministry, message, death, and resurrection, with excursions into the quest for the historical Jesus and the historical reliability of the Gospels.

How God Became JesusThe Real Origins of Belief in Jesus Divine NatureA Response to Bart D. Ehrman

MICHAEL F. BIRD, CRAIG A. EVANS, SIMON J. GATHERCOLE, CHARLES E. HILL, AND CHRIS TILLING

This is a helpful collection of essays by first-rate scholars abreast of the latest research. Anyone who wants a reliable historical account of how early Christians came to see Jesus as God should read this book.RICHARD BAUCKHAM, Scholar and Theologian

This set of studies comprises a readable and lively response to Ehrmans book on how Jesus came to be regarded as in some sense divine. Collectively, they identify controversial issues and offer cogently-put alternative views that deserve to be noted and that show that the scholarly discussion remains in play.LARRY W. HURTADO, University of Edinburgh

In his book How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher From Galilee, historian Bart Ehrman explores a claim that resides at the heart of the Christian faiththat Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. According to Ehrman, though, this is not what the earliest disciples believed, nor what Jesus claimed about himself. As the first response book to this latest challenge to Christianity from Ehrman, How God

Namely, they contend, the exalted place of Jesus in belief and worship is clearly evident in the earliest Christian sources shortly following his death and was not simply the invention of the church centuries later.

Advances in the Study of GreekNew Insights for Reading the New TestamentCONSTANTINE R. CAMPBELL

. Campbell carefully explains various linguistic theories, summarizes debates on deponency and the middle voice, probes idiolect and genre and register, and summarizes the approaches of Levinsohn and Runge. His summary of Runges treatment of Greek particles is worth the price of the book. In his ninth chapter, Campbell engages in evenhanded discussion as to whether we should retain Erasmian pronunciation of Greek, or switch to modern pronunciation. In his last chapter, Campbell the teacher surfaces, as he offers a range of pedagogical reflections, largely drawn from his own experiences of learning and teaching Greek. I cannot say that Con Campbell always convinces me -- though he usually does. But I know no other book quite like this one. The range of coverage is hugely impressive. This book is not for beginners, but it will prove enormously useful in helping scholars, advanced students, and serious pastors to find out what is going on in the field of New Testament Greek studies -- especially if they are tempted to think that advances cannot be made. That stance can be maintained only by those who are attracted to the delusion that three thousand years of scholarship have witnessed no paradigm shifts. It will also prove useful to the many New Testament scholars who would like to understand recent developments in linguistics and Greek, but whose distaste for linguistic jargon prevents them from breaking into these burgeoning fields. Here is a way in.

from the foreword by D. A. CARSON, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Advances in the Study of Greek offers an introduction to issues of interest in the current world of Greek scholarship. Those within Greek scholarship often lament that students, pastors, professors, and commentators seem significantly out of touch with what is going on in Greek studies. Those outside Greek scholarship often lament that they dont know whats going on, nor how to get up to speed. Most of the scholarship is inaccessible to outsiders, being highly technical and laden with linguistic jargon. This book provides an accessible introduction for students, pastors, professors, and commentators to understand the current issues of interest in this period of paradigm shift. After all, the study of Greek ultimately affects everyone interested in the New Testament, whether they are Greek scholars or not.

CONSTANTINE R. CAMPBELL (PhD, Macquarie University) is associate professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He had previously served as senior lecturer in New Testament and Greek at Moore Theological College in Sydney, Australia. He is author of several books, including Keep Your Greek: Strategies for Busy People, Basics of Verbal Aspect, Paul and Union with Christ, and Outreach and the Artist. He is an ordained deacon in the Anglican Church of Australia.

An Interpretive Lexicon of New Testament Greek Analysis of Prepositions, Adverbs, Particles, Relative Pronouns, and ConjunctionsG. K. BEALE, DANIEL J. BRENDSEL, AND WILLIAM A. ROSS

One of the most challenging tasks in language acquisition is mastering the small words that are the warp and woof of an authors thought. Frequently, these words reveal the logical flow of a discourse and are thus crucial for understanding a given text. Gathering up the data from reference works, principally BDAG, Greg Beale and company have laid out the material in a way that focuses on the various kinds of logical relationships intended by the author. Systematically labeling each word in this lexicon according to sound discourse analysis principles, they have produced a volume whose time has come. DANIEL B. WALLACE, Dallas Theological Seminary As evangelical Protestants we believe in sola scriptura. We are committed, therefore, to discovering the meaning of the Scriptures, which means that we must study the Scriptures with intensity and rigor. This invaluable tool assists us in the task of careful exegesis and should be warmly welcomed.

THOMAS R. SCHREINER, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

An Interpretive Lexicon of New Testament Greek facilitates the exegetical and translational task by functioning both as a lexicon and as an interpretive handbook. The Interpretive Lexicon lists the vast majority of Greek prepositions, adverbs, particles, relative pronouns, conjunctions, and other connecting words that are notorious for being some of the most difficult words to translate. For each word included, page references are given for several major lexical resources where the user can quickly go to examine the nuances and parameters of the word for translation options. For words with a lower frequency of occurrence and fewer translation options, this book is sufficient in itself as a lexicon. As well, these prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, and connecting words in Greek, as in every language, function as explicit discourse-level markers that are essential for ascertaining the main point of a passage. Therefore, the Interpretive Lexicon also evaluates the discourse function of each word that is defined and catalogued, and categorizes its semantic range into defined logical relationships. This feature of the lexicon adds an interpretive element, since translation must include interpretation, at least on a linguistic level. This interpretive feature of the book is tremendously helpful for the exegetical process, allowing the translator to closely follow the logical flow of the text with greater efficiency.

While the trend of some grammarians has been to take a purely grammatical approach to the language, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics integratesthe technical requirements for proper Greek interpretation with the actual interests and needs of Bible students. It explores numerous syntactical categories, some of which have not previously been dealt with in print. It equips intermediate Greek students with the skills they need to do exegesis of biblical texts in a way that is faithful to their intended meaning.

Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New TestamentAn Essential Reference Resource for Exegesis

MURRAY J. HARRIS

Prepositions are important in the exege-sis of the Greek New Testament, but they are at the same time very slippery words because they can have so many nuances. While Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament rejects the idea of a theology of the prepositions, it engages in a study of the numerous places in the Greek New Testament where prepositions contribute to the theologi-cal meaning of the text.

Key features: Coverage of all 17 proper and 42

improper prepositions Exploration of both literary and broader theological contexts

Comprehensive indexes to hundreds of verses, subjects, and Greek words

Discussion of key repeated phrases that use a particular preposition.

Old Testament Today A Journey from Ancient Context to Contemporary Relevance

JOHN H. WALTON AND ANDREW E. HILL

JOHN H. WALTON (PhD, Hebrew Union College) is professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College and Graduate School.

ANDREW E. HILL (PhD, University of Michigan) is professor of Old Testament studies at Wheaton College in Illinois.

This proven Old Testament text, with a wealth of full-color images, helps readers connect the world of the Old Testament with todays world. Old Testament Today, newly revised, includes a book-by-book survey, new maps and graphics, and other updates throughout. Unique among Old Testament surveys, Old Testament Today not only provides an orientation to the world of the Old Testament, but also builds a bridge between the original audience and modern readers, demonstrating why the ancient message is important for faith and life today. It goes beyond basic content to help students understand what the Scriptures mean and how to apply them personally. Taking readers progressively through the Old Testament, this text: (1) presents the details of the content, focusing on the story line, historical background, and literary information that address the original setting and audience; (2) focuses on theological perspectives and on issues of the authors purpose and the universal message of the text, building a bridge between the original audience and todays audience; and (3) develops an understanding of the relevance of the Old Testament writings to todays Christian, showing how they can be applied in personal faith and practice.

Do we know who all of the authors of the Bible are? The short answer to that is no. In times past, however, it was considered important to be able to as-sign authorship to each book. This was because the authority of the book was in part reiterated by associating it with known authoritative voices (e.g., the prophets). Consequently, tradition is filled with associations of books with particular authors. Some of these offer internal rationale (e.g., David with Psalms or Solomon with the Song of Songs) while others offer only the most fragile of circumstantial evidence (e.g., Jeremiah with 1 and 2Kings).

PentateuchThe tradition of Moses as the author of the Pentateuch

is strong both in the Old Testament and in the New Testa-ment (see Authors and Books, p. 000). The text offers strong confirmation that Moses should at least be considered the speaker, author, or editor of a large portion of the Pentateuch, although occasional statements appear to require a later hand (e.g., Gen. 12:6; 36:31; Deut. 34).

Historical BooksThe historical books offer the least information about

their authorship. The traditional authors such as Samuel (for the books of Samuel) or Jeremiah (for the books of Kings) enjoy little ancient or textual support as authors and have generally been so identified by nothing more than the promi-nence of their roles. All major characters are referred to in the third person. In addition, no later biblical literature of-fers any suggestion as to authorship. Many today believe that Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings were all edited together during the exile or soon after it. This group is therefore some-times labeled the Deuteronomistic History, since it reflects the theological themes of Deuteronomy. As a result, modern writers typically refer to authors such as the deuteronomist (Joshua Kings) or the chronicler (Chronicles).

ProphetsIt is appropriate to assume that the prophets to whom

prophetic writings were attached were the ones who delivered

those messages. That does not necessarily mean that the prophet was the one who wrote down the message or who compiled the book of those messages. It should be noted that the prophets are at times re-ferred to in the third person. In Jeremiah we are told that a scribe named Baruch served as his secretary (Jer. 36:4). In Isaiah many believe the first five chap-ters to be a digest of the oracles that stretched throughout his career. If this is

true, it would suggest a later editor. Some believe that a few of the prophetic books may have had additional prophecies added on at a later date, perhaps by generations of followers of the prophet, but criteria have not been clearly established so that such determinations could be made with confidence.

WisdomIt is no surprise that Solomon is connected to a number of

the wisdom books of Israel. Sections of Proverbs are explicitly attributed to Solomon (1:1; 10:1; 25:1). He is mentioned by name in Song of Songs (1:1, 5; 3:7, 9; 8:11 12) possibly as author. In Ecclesiastes the first person pronoun is used for one describing himself as the son of David, king in Jerusalem (1:1, 12), giving the strong impression that Solomon is thus identified, although his name is never used.

The Covenant and Abram. God did not ask Abram to give up any-thing that he was not going to replace. God asked Abram to leave his land, and God promised to take Abram to a new land. After Abram arrived there, God said he would give him that land. God also asked Abram to leave his kinship group. This meant giving up the pro-tection and security a kinship group provided. He was leaving his roots and putting aside all that was familiar to him. In return, God offered Abram a family that would become a great nation. Eventu-ally God told him that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. The third thing God asked Abram to leave behind was the house of his father. This could be identified as his inheritance. In the ancient Near East, household gods were passed down from generation to generation. There were ancestors to make offerings to and to care for. Most important was the care of elderly parents and eventually their burial. The inheritance one received included not only material possessions and ownership of land; it involved taking ones place in the family line and appropriating the blessings that had been passed down through the family line. As Abram put all of this behind him, God offered a threefold blessing for him. God would bless Abram, he would be a bless-ing, and he would be a channel of blessing. The first meant that Abram would come under Gods care, protection, and favor, which would bring him safety and prosperity. The second meant that Abram would provide care and protection to those in favor with him. And the third meant that God would bring blessing to other people through Abram and his family.

Basics of Biblical Aramaic Video LecturesA Complete Course for the Beginner

MILES V. VAN PELT

Basics of Biblical Aramaic Video Lectures provides 22 easy-to-follow lessons (on 3 DVDs) introducing the most neglected biblical language. Integrated for use with one of todays bestselling Aramaic textbooks, it is an ideal resource for formal Aramaic language students wanting additional help in their learning; for instructors wanting to devote classroom time to drills and exercises, giving them a lecture tool their students can watch on their own time; and for armchair students of biblical Aramaic with an interest in learning on their own.

Designed for students who already have a working knowledge of Hebrew, each lecture is approximately half an hour and is taught by experienced teacher Miles V. Van Pelt using a logical and simple method of learning biblical Aramaic. Focused on the structural pattern of biblical Aramaic over rote memorization, Van Pelts lectures will give students in formal language classes and self-learners alike the basic understanding they need to begin studying the 269 Aramaic verses in the Old Testament and Aramaic in other ancient texts.

JOHN BYRON AND JOEL N. LOHR, EDITORS

I (Still) BelieveLeading Bible Scholars Share Their Stories of Faith and Scholarship

I (Still) Believe explores the all-important question of whether serious academic study of the Bible is threatening to ones faith. Far from itfaith enhances study of the Bible and, reciprocally, such study enriches a persons faith. With this in mind, this book asks prominent Bible teachers and scholars to tell their story reflecting on their own experiences at the intersection of faith and serious academic study of the Bible. While the essays of this book will provide some apology for academic study of the Bible as an important discipline, the essays engage with this question in ways that are uncontrived. They present real stories, with all the complexities and struggles they may hold. To this end, the contributors do two things: 1) reflect on their lives as teachers and researchers of the Bible, providing something of a story outlining their journey of life and faith, and their self-understanding as biblical theologians; and 2) provide focused reflections on how faith has made a difference, how it has changed, and what challenges have arisen, remained, and are unresolved, all with a view toward the future and engaging the books main question.

Character Formation in Online EducationA Guide for Instructors, Administrators, and Accrediting Agencies

JOANNE J. JUNGThe unfortunate reputation of online courses today is one of little or no effort on the professors part and little or no learning on the students part. A missing element in online courses is the kind of mutual engagement between student and instructor that provides not only a higher level of learning, but also lasting character formation within the student. Character Formation in Online Education stems from author Joanne Jungs years of experience teaching online courses with the aim of improving the teaching environment for professors and the learning environment for students. By replicating, customizing, and incorporating the best and most effective practices of what a great professor does in on-campus classes, reimagined for an online delivery system, Jung shows how a higher level of learning and transformation can be achieved through online learning communities. Handy and practical, this user-friendly book provides guidance, helpful tools, and effective suggestions for growing learning communities in online courses that are marked by character growth in studentsthe kind of growth that is central to the mission of Christian higher education.

JOANNE J. JUNG (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) is associate professor of biblical and theological studies at Biola University and chair of the Talbot School of Theologys committee for online learning.

Quality Research PapersFor Students of Religion and Theology

NANCY VYHMEISTER WITH TERRY ROBERTSON

Zondervan Essential Atlas of the Bible CARL G. RASMUSSEN

This updated third edition of Quality Research Papersfast becoming a standard reference textbook for writing research papers in the fields of religion and theologygives improvements and added material for such things as the expanding field of online research and doing church-related research in a professional manner. Because so many new developments have taken place in the field of research, especially in terms of electronic research, this handy reference explores the ways to do both traditional research and research on the Internet, including how to document such research.

Quality Research Papers, Third Edition, offers great opportunities to students today, especially in distance learning situations, to determine which resources can be used and which should be rejected. For this reason Nancy Vyhmeister brought in Terry D. Robertson, seminary librarian at Andrews University who also teaches the masters level research course at the seminary. His expertise in library science, computers, and the Internet are invaluable to the book.

NANCY VYHMEISTER (EdD, Andrews University) has fifty years of experience in teaching future pastors and professors not only in the United States but throughout the world.

TERRY ROBERTSON (MLS, Indiana University-Bloomington) is seminary librarian at Andrews University and also teaches the masters level research course at the seminary.
