But it is not God's Word that has changed. Indeed, its relevancy and its power to transform lives are intact. What has changed is the number of people who consult it. Now more than ever the need to read the Bible, to understand the big picture of its storyline, and to grasp the relevance this has for your life is critical.    As with its companion volume, For the Love of God-Volume 1 , this devotional contains a systematic 365-day plan, based on the M'Cheyne Bible-reading schedule, that will in the course of a year guide you through the New Testament and Psalms twice and the rest of the Old Testament once. In so doing, D. A. Carson completes the work he began in the first book.    In an effort to help preserve biblical thinking and living, D. A. Carson has also written thought-provoking comments and reflections regarding each day's scriptural passages. And, most uniquely, he offers you perspective that places each reading into the larger framework of history and God's eternal plan to deepen your understanding of his sovereignty-and the unity and power of his Word.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303678456181,"sku":"9781581348163","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781581348163_b0b21701-d73d-4367-931c-faae6f42a14b.jpg?v=1786023130"},{"product_id":"an-introduction-to-the-new-testament","title":"An Introduction to the New Testament","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrasp the message of the New Testament by focusing on the essentials.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Introduction to the New Testament\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on historical questions dealing with authorship, date, sources, purpose, destination, and so forth, ensuring that the New Testament books will be accurately understood within historical settings.

The commentary will also deepen your understanding of the Gospel in your own life and worship.  Throughout his commentary Carson does the following: * makes clear the flow of the text, focusing on the movement of thought rather than on word studies and Greek syntax* engages a small but representative part of the massive secondary literature on John, providing a kind of map of contemporary studies on this Gospel* draws a few lines toward establishing how John's Gospel contributes to biblical and systematic theology* offers a consistent exposition of John as an evangelistic GospelPreceded by a comprehensive introduction treating such matters as the authenticity, authorship, purpose and structure of the Gospel, this commentary on John exhibits the solid evangelical Scripture exposition for which Carson is well known and respected.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57481490465141,"sku":"9780851117492","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780851117492.jpg?v=1786089755"},{"product_id":"the-difficult-doctrine-of-the-love-of-god","title":"The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God","description":"At first thought, understanding the doctrine of the love of God seems simple compared to trying to fathom other doctrines like that of the Trinity or predestination. Especially since the overwhelming majority of those who believe in God view Him as a loving being.    That is precisely what makes this doctrine so difficult. The only aspect of God's character the world still believes in is His love. His holiness, His sovereignty, His wrath are often rejected as being incompatible with a \"loving\" God. Because pop culture has so distorted and secularized God's love, many Christians have lost a biblical understanding of it and, in turn, lost a vital means to knowing who God is.    The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God seeks to restore what we have lost. In this treatment of many of the Bible's passages regarding divine love, noted evangelical scholar D. A. Carson not only critiques sentimental ideas such as \"God hates the sin but loves the sinner,\" but provides a compelling perspective on the nature of God and why He loves as He does. Carson blends his discourse with discussion of how God's sovereignty and holiness complete the biblical picture of who He is and how He loves.    In doing away with trivialities and cliches, this work gets to the heart of this all-important doctrine from an unflinching evangelical perspective. Yet it does so without losing its personal emphasis: for in understanding more of the comprehensive nature of God's love as declared in His Word, you will come to understand God and His unending love for you more completely.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57487721496949,"sku":"9781581341263","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781581341263.jpg?v=1786354947"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-d-a-carson.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
