Walton's analysis unpacks seldom appreciated aspects of the biblical text and sets Bible-believing scientists free to investigate the question of origins.

We often study prophecy with a focus on prediction and fulfillment. This was not always its original intent. We need to shake loose from reading prophecy as mysterious divination as well as from using it to construct eschatological timelines. So how are these books meaningful for us today?

Who were the historical Adam and Eve? Have we been reading Genesis and its claims regarding material origins in the wrong way? Walton explores the ancient context of Genesis 2–3, creating space for a faithful reading of Scripture along with full engagement with science for a new way forward in the human origins debate.

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."

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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 assures us that we don't have to be afraid of biblical criticism — textual, higher, source, form, or other approaches. Instead, he says, biblical criticism "can serve to confirm the validity of the Gospel record." Biblical criticism is explained clearly and concisely, in non-technical language.
