Praying and Praising with the Psalms

Though frequently used in times of crisis or pain, the book of Psalms is often misread or misunderstood, seeming like a disorganized jumble of prayer, praise, and lament. To help readers get more out of the Psalms, renowned Old Testament scholar Gordon Wenham highlights its foundational place for all Christian worship and spiritual formation.

The Psalter Reclaimed: Praying and Praising with the Psalms teaches the practices of singing, reading, and praying the Psalms, paying special attention to the Psalter’s canonical structure, messianic focus, and ethical goal. In drawing on his extensive academic and scholarly experience, Wenham has crafted a guide for discovering afresh the manifold wonders of this beautiful and surprisingly complex portion of the Bible.

Countercultural Spirituality

Wheaton, IL—Crossway is pleased to release Schaeffer on the Christian Life, placing Francis Schaeffer alongside Bonhoeffer, Wesley, Calvin, Owen, Edwards, Bunyan, and Luther in this growing Crossway series “on the Christian life.”

Known as one of the most influential apologists of the twentieth-century, Francis Schaeffer’s writing, speaking, and filmmaking were in fact largely based on his approach to the Christian life. Schaffer viewed Christianity not merely as a private piety, but a worldview influencing every sphere of life. He saw a deep connection between one’s spirituality and ministry, yet observed that this connection was often neglected. “Schaeffer’s perspective on spirituality should galvanize one’s life in ministry, the workplace, and in the home,” author William Edgar says.

Converted from agnosticism the first day he met Schaeffer, Edgar provides the first book devoted to the heart and soul of Schaeffer’s approach to the Christian life. “He led me to the Lord.” Edgar said. “[Writing this book] is like a debt of gratitude.” This volume will inspire readers to strive after the same marriage of thought and life, of orthodoxy and love, that Schaeffer himself lived out.

Evaluating Resurrection Evidence

Wheaton IL—Is Jesus’s resurrection a verifiable, historical event? In his new book, Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead?, author Thomas A. Miller, MD helps readers see that the evidence supporting the resurrection is exceedingly compelling and can stand up under even the toughest scrutiny.

Miller is acquainted with the skepticism and unbelief prevailing outside the church. He fills a unique void by engaging this doctrine from the perspective of a surgeon- scientist. “People want compelling evidence,” Miller says. “I believe that truth matters. But for truth to have any meaning, it must have an unshakable foundation, with evidence that is consistent and dependable. This is what makes science so appealing.”

Miller challenges the notion that modern medicine disproves the possibility of the resurrection. He assesses the historical reliability of the documents, evaluates the credibility of the witnesses, and identifies the consequences following the event, powerfully reflecting on the significance of the empty tomb for today.

“The only reason I buy all of this and that I call myself a Christian is because I believe the resurrection took place,” Miller explains. “If this event really occurred, then it defends the existence of the supernatural and the reality of the eternal.”
