The picture that emerges from this story of the early church is one of a church that is an unquenchable spiritual force organized for tribulation. Bruce gives the reader a feel for the evangelistic fervor of the Apostles and the early Christians in a narrative filled with solid, well-reasoned, richly researched facts.

In this modern classic, one of evangelicalism's most respected scholars makes a clear case for the historical trustworthiness of the New Testament. F. F. Bruce presents a comprehensive, expert, convincing, and engaging affirmation of the reliability of the New Testament documents.

"In the mind of God, the ultimate object of missionary activity is the planting of churches." The Church and its Mission looks at these two facets of the work of God in this world. It is an excellent exposition of the NT doctrine of the universal and local church. Includes a practical guide to missionary work based on Vine's personal experience.

In this exposition of five of Paul's letters, Bruce focuses on Paul's pastoral care and the growth of the people he loved so much. Since we face today so many of the problems and issues Paul and his converts faced, this book acts as a guide for growth.

"The Scriptures are the voice of God to the soul of man," said W.E. Vine, and therefore they are, in the words of the apostle Paul, "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness." This book is an explanation and exposition of that statement.

After His resurrection, Jesus met two disciples and explained everything the Old Testament said about Himself. F.F. Bruce opens the context of the New Testament writers' understanding of the Old Testament by focusing on seven Old Testament themes that, he says, "are fulfilled in Jesus."

Premillennialism is an understanding of God’s plan for the end times which says, in the words of F.F. Bruce, that there is "an interval between the resurrection-rapture of the Church and the return of Christ to earth 'with power and great glory,' and places in this interval the great tribulation of the end time." In this book, W.E. Vine, with the help of C.F. Hogg, explores this doctrine.

F.F. Bruce's balanced and thoughtful book answers the questions reader want to know about the story of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Qumran community, and the significance of the scrolls to biblical studies and the histories of Judaism and Christianity.

In ordinary speech a "mystery" implies knowledge withheld. In Scripture a "mystery" is truth that can be made known only by divine revelation at a time appointed by God and to those who are illumined by His Spirit. In this book, W.E. Vine explains twelve "mysteries" in the Word of God.

Professor Bruce engagingly pictures each of Paul's associates in these chapters: Ananias and the disciples at Damascus, Barnabas, Silas, Timothy, Luke, Priscilla and Aquila, Apollos, Titus, Onesimus, and Mark. He examines the relationships of the first-century Christians and gives a clear understanding of people who influenced the New Testament church.
