The earliest Christians had the privilege of bearing the name of Jesus Christ to enemies of the gospel. They were residents of the Roman Republic, but also citizens of heaven. They were persecuted for their faith, but were unashamed of the gospel. They knew him whom they believed and were persuaded he was able to deliver them from evil. Fast-forward twenty centuries. Spiritual temperatures are again dropping. These citizens of heaven are now resident throughout the world, and are being granted the privilege of the early saints. As nations grow ever more hostile to Christ and his followers, Jesus summons those who bear his name to be unashamed. He is the only hope of salvation for all who repent and believe. In Unashamed of the Gospel, authors Matt Chandler, R. Albert Mohler Jr., John MacArthur, Thabiti Anyabwile, Mark Dever, Kevin DeYoung, J. Ligon Duncan III, John Piper, and David Platt come together for the gospel to encourage Christians with Paul''s pastoral plea to Timothy: "do not be ashamed about the testimony of our Lord" (2 Timothy 1:8).

These commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context, Comment and Meaning. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain. THE SONG OF SONGS This Old Testament book, ''the best of songs'', has fascinated and perplexed interpreters for centuries. We hear the passionate melody of romantic love, and are confronted by erotic imagery - but whose love is described? Is it a couple''s love for each other, God''s love for his people, or a poem that speaks to love in all its dimensions? Iain Duguid''s commentary explains how the Song is designed to show us an idealized picture of married love, in the context of a fallen and broken world. It also convicts us of how far short of this perfection we fall, both as humans and as lovers, and drives us repeatedly into the arms of our true heavenly husband, Jesus Christ.

It has been five hundred years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the All Saints'' Church in Wittenberg, Germany. Luther''s theses called for the reform of the church and served as the catalyst for the Protestant Reformation. Its impact is still felt today. This Bible study examines the five core truths that came from the Reformation, now referred to as the solas. Group members will explore these essential convictions of the faith and emerge more immersed in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The solas include: Sola Scriptura (by Scripture alone) Sola gratia (by grace alone) Sola fide (through faith alone) Solus Christus (through Christ alone) Soli Deo gloria (glory to God alone) How is the Reformation still relevant today? As political pressure mounts, morality drifts with today''s culture, and evangelicalism becomes more and more refined in a post-Christian world, it''s even more important to hold the convictions of the great Reformation closer than ever. In short, the solas point us to vibrant Christian community as well as personal identity in Christ. As you''ll see in this study, the solas are more than cold Latin terms that academics throw around in church-history books. The five solas, like the Reformation itself, are intensely practical. They were the DNA of the Reformation and are still the DNA of the church today. They are grounded in a real-life, everyday following of Jesus. They''re the most important, basic scriptural truths you can ever believe. We stand on the shoulders of Christians in the past, and knowing where we came from will help us keep moving forward with passion and biblical clarity. Echoes of the Reformation Bible Study Book includes small-group experiences for six sessions, individual study opportunities, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," and tips for leading a group. Features: - Biblically rooted and gospel-centered content - Six small-group sessions that include an introductory session and application of the five solas - Individual study opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth - Group and personal components Benefits: - Give group members a better understanding of the Reformation''s impact on today''s church. - Understand the weighty importance of the inspired Word of God. - Help group members discern the theological nuances of grace and its role in the life of a disciple. - Enhance a believer''s understanding of the biblical and historical depth of the Christian faith. - Realize that Christ alone provides all life''s answers. - Show group members how to live life for the glory of God and renew their commitment to this biblical mandate.

Several of us at 9Marks recently spent a long afternoon with a wise old friend talking about the conversation evangelicals are having about the mission of the church. There are two basic mistakes people keep making in this conversation, said our friendly sage. On the one hand, some people pit good things against one another-bodies versus souls, this world versus the next, and so forth. This group needs to view human beings whole cloth.On the other hand, some people fail to hold up eternal and temporal realities next to one another and ask which is more important. Everything is crammed under the label "equally important." But that doesn''t make sense. We need to treat the weighty things as weighty, and the weightiest things as the weightiest.Notice then what our friend was doing: he was avoiding the "either/or" as well as a simplistic "both/and." He was instead going for what Tim Keller, refer-ring to the relationship between evangelism and social justice, calls an "inseparable asymmetry." Things can be stuck together, but still differ greatly in their importance.Whatever you might think about our friend''s counsel, the conversation about the church''s mission is difficult, which is why we are devoting this Journal to reviewing the books on the topic. That way, you don''t have to just hear from us, but from people who have thought about these issues longer and more carefully than we have.
