LANGHAM LITERATURE What Angels Long to Read Reading and Preaching the

Mark Meynell Foreword by Christopher J. H. Wright

‘Even angels long to look into these things’

Peter wrote to encourage and embolden isolated and vulnerable believers. His timeless words have consoled and challenged ever since and show how the eternal gospel is true even in the toughest circumstances. The last sentence in 1 Peter 1:12 profoundly illustrates that the experience we have each time we open up the Scriptures is nothing less than a heavenly privilege, a privilege that angels do not have but would love to!

Mark Meynell skilfully brings the New Testament to life. Guiding the reader through preaching the Gospels and Acts, the Parables, the Letters and Revelation, as well as using a host of worked examples, sample sermons and personal exercises, this book offers ideas and approaches to stretch even the most seasoned preachers.

SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY Study Bible

Theology should, first and foremost, be rooted in God’s Word. The goal of the ESV Systematic Theology Study Bible is to demonstrate how all Christian doctrines arise directly from the pages of Scripture. Placing explanations of key doctrines alongside the biblical passages from which they are drawn, this edition helps readers connect the dots between regular Bible reading and systematic theology—leading to a deeper understanding of and love for God and his Word.

All the books in the Reformed Expository Commentary series are accessible to both pastors and lay readers. Each volume in the series provides exposition that gives careful attention to the biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary setting. www.prpbooks.com ESV.ORG TABLE OF CONTENTS

SWEETER THAN HONEY Preaching the Old Testament Wright, Christopher J. H. Many preachers ignore preaching from the Old Testament because they feel it is outdated and difficult to expound. Other preachers preach from the Old Testament frequently but fail to ‘handle’ it correctly, turning it into moralistic rules or symbolic lessons for our spiritual life. Wright proclaims preachers must not ignore the Old Testament. It is the Word of God! The Old Testament lays the foundation for our faith and it was the Bible Jesus read and used. 2015, 9781783689347, Paperback, 276 pages £5.00

Mark Meynell Foreword by Christopher J. H. Wright

‘Even angels long to look into these things’

Peter wrote to encourage and embolden isolated and vulnerable believers. His timeless words have consoled and challenged ever since and show how the eternal gospel is true even in the toughest circumstances. The last sentence in 1 Peter 1:12 profoundly illustrates that the experience we have each time we open up the Scriptures is nothing less than a heavenly privilege, a privilege that angels do not have but would love to!

Mark Meynell skilfully brings the New Testament to life. Guiding the reader through preaching the Gospels and Acts, the Parables, the Letters and Revelation, as well as using a host of worked examples, sample sermons and personal exercises, this book offers ideas and approaches to stretch even the most seasoned preachers. This preaching

resource will make an excellent companion to Christopher Wright’s Sweeter than Honey: Grant Catalogue / Catalogue de livres subventionnés 2018 Preaching the Old Testament.
