Video: Biblical Theology Has A Center


In the Old Testament:
God used judgment of the Egyptians and Canaanites to save the Israelites.
In the New Testament: God’s righteous judgment on the cross brought us salvation.
At the end of time: God’s judgment will be shown when Christ returns to judge those who reject him and save those who are faithful.

In his book God’s Glory Through Judgment: A Biblical Theology, James Hamilton takes readers through the entire Bible, book by book, to illustrate that there is one theological center to the whole Bible.

Trusted.

There’s nothing as important to Crossway’s publishing ministry as the distribution of God’s Word.  Here’s a new introductory video we produced for the ESV Bible.

Rescuing Ambition for the Workplace (Bonus Material)


Dave Harvey’s book Rescuing Ambition has been out since May and is receiving some high praise. Christianity Today gave it “5 out of 5 stars“, and Josh Deckard, former Assistant Press Secretary to President Bush, had this to say:

Whether you’re on Main Street or Wall Street this book has something to say to you. No author has done a better job of helping me understand my heart, my motives, and my Savior.

Thabiti Anyabwile wrote:

I didn’t know that my ambition was defective and in need of rescuing until I read this book. Harvey writes with such compelling insight and clarity that you’re left thinking the lack of godly ambition ranks alongside pragmatism and theological flimsiness as ailments afflicting the church today… Those who want to live with high and glorious purpose for the Savior must read this book.

If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, Dave has written some bonus material called “Rescuing Ambition for the Workplace”. We think this will give you a good introduction to Dave’s important message and serve you in your daily calling.

Crossway and Gospel-Centered Publishing

From President and Publisher Lane Dennis’s letter of introduction to Crossway’s new website:

We certainly live in extraordinary times—with instant access to a massive amount of information of all kinds.

Given these extraordinary times, Crossway has an enormous responsibility. First and foremost our responsibility is to remain faithful to God’s Word and to the gospel—but equally to remain faithful to the vision and calling that the Lord has entrusted to us.

Our commitment, then, is to publish content that you can trust, written by authors you can trust, and published in a manner that is honoring to the Lord.

This is why we have chosen Gospel-Centered Publishing as the defining statement for the new Crossway website.

Gospel-Centered Publishing refers, first, to the good news that, through faith in Christ and his atoning death and resurrection, we are reconciled to God and to one another—today and for all eternity.

Second, Gospel-Centered Publishing refers to the way in which the gospel and the truth of the Bible apply to every area of life.

With these as our goals, we welcome you to the new Crossway website, including access to hundreds of print and digital books and to numerous online resources—with content that you can trust.

With grateful appreciation for your interest in the ESV Bible and Crossway publications, and for the opportunity to serve you,

Lane T. Dennis, PhD
President and Publisher
