The problems that faced the early church have continued to rear their heads in new guises and we can learn much from the sensitive way the apostles tackled them. They adapted their approach, but never watered down their message.

Brings together two important works by H.L. Ellison and F.F. Bruce. Ellison provides a primer to the understanding of the Old Testament as a whole; Bruce presents the central message of the New Testament.

An intimate portrait of the life and times of one of the evangelical world's most beloved biblical scholars. In it, we see a memorable picture of Bruce's childhood in northern Scotland, his academic training at Aberdeen, Cambridge, and Vienna, and his career.

In recounting Israel's story from the Exodus to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, F.F. Bruce reveals the historical context of the nation of Israel in a way that reads more like a novel than an academic text. In doing so, he makes the Bible come alive.

This highly acclaimed book provides a wealth of fascinating information on the Roman and Jewish background of the New Testament, the life of Jesus, and the history of the early church.

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.

This book is a most engaging biography of Paul — his life, his travels, his writings. In it, Professor Bruce blends theology, history, culture, and analysis of Paul's letters.

This concise study describes four of the non-Pauline movements in the early church, each of which can be identified with a particular leader: Peter and the apostles; Stephen and the Hellenists (Jews who spoke Greek culturally and linguistically); James and the Church of Jerusalem; and John and his circle, including his influence at Ephesus.

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.

A classic text on the history and origins of the Bible, including the languages in which it was written, how the books of the Bible were chosen, and its transmission and its translation — from the earliest translations to the most popular English versions today.

Recognizing that the doctrine of the deity of Christ was under attack, Dr. William J. Martin, lecturer at University of Liverpool, and Dr. F.F. Bruce wrote a little book stating the case for the deity of Christ. This edition also includes three articles by Professor Bruce about the deity of Christ, the incarnation, and the virgin birth.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

F.F. Bruce lets the Bible speak for itself in this brief but illuminating introduction to the past, present, and future work of Jesus. It's a perfect starting point for both individual and group study.
